Will we see a 9 second G8?

[GTeve]

Will the G8 ever see a 9 second pass? I believe it is possible, but will anyone actually take the time to make the passenger sedan THAT fast? Is it worth it?Figured this could be an interesting topic.

[GRRRR8]

I would say it will happen in OZ 1st. I expect to see a dozen 10 sec ones in the US late this year and early next year. I will be one of them. :)

Yes we will see a 9 sec g8. Will it be streetable? I doubt it. Anything is possible thou.

[grandmacpubah]

10sec street-able is just nuts.

[MANOFSTEEL69]

I think 10s will be the cut-off for a streetable G8.

If a TBSS can go a 9.27@145 I dont see why a G8 can go 9's.

High 10's

I think once people start putting big turbos on these cars the 9's will come quickly. I have no doubt it will happen.

Big turbo + big motor = fast!

I think we will see it.

It would be too much of a pain in the ass to get my baby in and out of his seat with a roll cage installed, so we're not going to take things quite that far.:wah:

I think it will happen with time. I was wondering if anyone will ever pull at least one wheel off the ground in the 4,000 pound beast. It will need to be a hard launch and a lot of hook (with the right parts). Wonder if it is even possible with 50/50 weight distribution

You won't need a cage...you just make a quick pass but won't be able to run there for awhile. A couple of weeks ago at Cecil....a black Vette pulls up to the line and clicks off a 9 second run and disappears into the crowd. A few days later track officials are closely monitoring all black Vettes at the track.

[G8GT721]

yes

that would be a sight to see

lol, the sneaking in & out adds to the rush for him

Underground Racing (cool videos by the way) has RWD Twin Turbo Lambo Gallardos and Vipers going 9's, 8's, and 7's! Just a matter of time, money, and about 1200-1400 rwhp before we see a G8 hit the 9's. Have SC'd & NA ones hitting 9's also - but they are lighter and have more cubes to begin with...

[r33pwrd]

The question is not will we but when will we see a 9 second G8!

[jaxredg8]

Yes we will. Not mine but yes!!

[silver6.0L]

If someone has the time and money for something different. Than we will see a 9 second G8.

[parish8]

it is just a matter of time.

speaking of which..did you run it since we spoke last,Charlie? I was wondering if you were gonna get that record and then get the "boot" in the same night! LOL:woohoo::spank:

[GRRRR8]

Not yet. Hopefully in October. Had a little set back and I hope to get back on track in the next 2 weeks.

[bwooten492]

built motors and big boost will do it. I think it will happen within a year or two.

nah when Fran gets a car done for a customer they do that. I'm waiting for the Twin Turbo Z06 to get done.
