On Wednesday evening I raced at Mid-Michigan Motorplex in Stanton, MI. There were less than 30 cars there so I never had to wait long at all.
My best time was 13.74 @ 103.72 - 2.11 60' time
I need LT headers & a good 60' time badly....

I know we don't go by corrected times / Density Altitude and stuff, but this does make me feel better if anyone cares....
DA = 2359 ft.
Based on:
Temp: 73°
Humidity: 53%
Track Altitude: 915 feet
Pressure: 29.80 in.
My corrected time is 13.38 @106.51mph

Congrats Mike. I'm pretty sure that car can do better, it's only a matter of time.

not bad at all for the DA that night...i know keepin the GTO's cool is crucial to getting good times, i dont think the G8's are any different.

Nice times. Looks like you have knocked 3/10's off your best time with your mods. Can you tell if you are you consistently running better with your mods? What kind of 60' time would you be happy with? I never timed my car without mods, so I don't know if I am running a lot better or not.

Congrats, Mike!
Thanks John. I'm ordering the Kooks LT Headers, high flow cats, and Kooks axle back system, - ceramic coated any day now.
Hopefully that will help my times to get to low 13's.... :)
Cam & torque converter may come in Spring of 09

I was running mostly 13.8x's with a very rare 13.9x
I would be happy with a 2.0 60' time. I've got to practice launching. I think I practiced more with my 04 GTP. I should do some launching with my G8.
I would love to hit a 1.9 60' time..... :driving:

You'll get down to mid-13s in no time. The weather will be cooling off for the end of the season, and I'm sure you'll surprise more than few people!
