NEW PB in my G8 GXP M6! First M6 G8 in the 10s!
So, weather finally permitted and I was able to get out there and get it done.
As most of you already know, I did the LSA blower conversion on my car. I wanted to show just how easy and simple it can be to get your manual transmission G8 GXP into the 10s without going "wild" on your build.
My goal was to have my M6 GXP run 10s, without sacrificing the comfort and reliability of the car. The car drives like a car with just headers and intake, except it has a nice little lope to it.
The weather was not "optimal", but it wasn't bad either. slight cross wind, with D.A in the 1,800s for this run.
I only had one chance to go "balls out", because my track officials are a bit on the strict side. I could have done better, but I got kicked out, and was unable to better my somewhat sloppy launch and shifts. (Not enough seat time with this combo).
Anyway, if you are planning to emulate this build, DO IT! I've enjoyed every second of it. Took me a whole lot of hours to complete as I did 100% of the build my self, including the custom tuning.
I wanna thank my woman and kids for putting up with all my long hours in the garage, my AZ peeps for all your support at the track, ( S/C'd Cav, OlSkoolGP, djerickd, and others). I really appreciate it.
My buddy Josh AKA OlSkoolGP has the better video action, but here is the in car experience when you actually have to work for your quarter mile time. lol
Again, pardon my sloppy launch and shifts...
