Haven't had the time what with my crazy ass work schedule to get to the track since I bought my G8 and even though the data logging runs on my Cortex showed gains I knew I couldn't trust the times I got. So last night I met up with Travis at Capital Raceway and I got in about 12 runs before it started getting too crowded.
Best time was a 12.7 @111mph worst was a 12.9 @109 I'll post the slips later.
Notable runs were my G8 vs a new 5.0 Mustang, I got him at the light, he caught up at about the 1000' mark and then my G8 just started to slowly pull on him the rest of the way and thru the traps. Very close race but I had him by a fender at the end.
My G8 vs a new M3, it went badly for him the second the lights went green. Had him by about 3 cars.
My G8 vs a 335i with a front mount intercooler, thought I was done when I saw that front mount but much to my surprise he was only a little faster then the M3 and I had him by a car at the end.
My G8 vs a 200? Mustang Cobra, thought SURE I was dead meat but when the light went green I caught him sleeping and he must have had horrible traction problems cause he ran a 13 at 124mph! I beat him but just bearly and he blew past me just past the 1/4 mile mark. LOL!
My G8 vs a 200? Mach 1 with a supercharger, yeah I lost both times we raced BUT he was never more then a car ahead of me at the end! Another I couldn't believe it moment.
Ran other assorted Camaro's and a G37 and a 370Z all lost. Hell the track official kept trying to get people to run me but he said after after they saw me knocking off those other guys none of them wanted any parts of my G8. LMAO! Like it was a bad ass or something.
Then I went to work and got laid off.
