If you don't like what I'm saying, my response can be re-calibrated. Turn the ignition key to the ON position. Re-read my post and at the same time turn the key to the ACC position. My response has now been re-calibrated.
Oh, you want full of $#it, know nothing about cars, there are no bigger tools on this planet than some Prius owners. We at least argue/discuss cars that are actually fast... this IDIOT on this Prius forum actually thinks he's kept up with a crotch rocket in first gear, and beaten a 5.0 in a race! http://priuschat.com/forums/prius-mo...g-stories.html
Read further on in a post and there are some whoppers, like someone that thins a Prius can get upto 120-135 mph.
LOL! It was the ipod that probably gave him the advantage!

I love my "Fast" tank too! It is fun to see that it takes a extremely modified Mustang, GTO, what ever to beat me. Least my car STILL looks like a simple 4 door Performance Luxury car that it started out as. I am sure that the G8 will be modified as well as the GXP.
Think about this....go to the track....look around and yes you may see a stock car or two but a good 85-95% of the cars going to the track have been modified to some extent.
Now take it another step....most of the cars that will "challenge" you out there will also be modified as well. The few "STOCK" cars that go out and look for "engagements" are folks that 'THINK" they have something. ( unless we are talking about exotic type performance cars).
Not to start a flame...but we do have some knuckleheads within our "Community" that think the same way. Just last night coming back from the track two of us...another stroked R/T and myself had a episode with a SXT Magnum who was zipping around traffic like he was in a Nascar race. Needless to say he was given a reality check.

I have to respectfully disagree with you. I had an 05 GTO before the charger and I beat SRT's all the time. And watch out when the G8-GXP comes out, as it will have the LS3 6.2 liter V8 with 402hp and 402 lb.-ft. of torque and will be priced alot lower than an SRT8.
And respectfully as well, I may have to disagree with you about beating SRTs 'all the time' with your GTO. The 6.0 GTO is a very good match for the SRT, and it will be a driver's race at that point. Suffice it to say that I have beaten a GTO 6.0 at the track, both of us stock (well, he did have air and exhaust).
My question is this - why would the 6.2 G8 GXP engine only have 402hp while the GTO 6.0 has 400 (difference of 2hp!)? And why would the G8 engine be considered so superior with only 2hp difference? Inquiring minds want to know.

True. If stock, MAJOR BS on beating stock SRT-8s all the time, especially considering the onus on the shifting and crappy GTO launch tendencies.
Different heads/cam and/or tuning is the reason for the hp differences. GM and the rest will save money where they can. The Vette's LS3 6.2 may be more expensive....
Are you one of the lost souls who also think that an S197 is a drivers race with an R/T?
Geez, why do people on this forum have such a hard time coming to terms with the fact that the R/T is a 14 second car, and the newer cars coming out (and cars that have been out) are faster...
G8 GT = mid 13 second car
R/T = low to mid 14 second car
Simple math shows that yes, the G8 GT is faster than the R/T. In real life, and on paper.
Now you are getting carried away.
the G is NOT a mid 13 second car and the R/T is not mid 14s either.
They were both tested on the same track at the same day and the difference was 0.3 seconds
Try again

Trust me while alot of u on this thread are just talkin i actully ran one.
I made the mistake and posted it on the LX board.
U can hang with one off the line and thats it. G8 will get up and walk away from a stock R/T. It really should hang with a SRT8 which means when the GXP comes out it should walk all over a SRT8.
But ill just make sure that any other G8's that line up next to me regret it.
GET A CLUE
The SRT8 walks away from a G8
The G8 is 0.3 seconds faster than a R/T
Learn some before you open your mouth and look stupid

Actually it won't
The two cars will be close in price and power/weight ratio
The SRT8 is more powerful but the G8 has a better trans

ohhhh and how is that again add heads and a cam swap and u basically have a 6.3 ????? hahahahaha you are making a fool of yourself seriously dont post anymore. Wait till Mceasar reads that lol
Hey Evil One,
Is it just me or have you noticed these threads are really deteriorating on both sides?
First there was one thread where some guy claimed Corvettes were running high 13s
Another one claiming R/Ts were as fast as Mustang GTs
Now this one where LS2 GTOs get dusted by SRT8s or the other guy who claims they beat every SRT8
Worse, the guy claiming the G8 GT will run with SRT8s and the GXP will smoke them despite less power and almost equal weight.
I don't know if some of these guys are just too biased to write honestly or if they really are that clueless?
I really don't get all the hating on Pontiac - like Dodge is some super high line make or something. I have owned very good cars from each one of the big 3. I am glad that Pontiac made the G8. It is the first car to make Chrysler have to improve the LX.
It also kills me to see people downing the G8 for being an Aussie while we cruise in our German platforms with Mexican engines driving German transmissions in our Canadian cars.
Sadly, none of the Big 3 can design a true American sedan from scratch any more.
