I got my G8 to the track today. Approximately 750 miles on it when I got there. Very nice day, around 50 degrees, little wind. I made 3 passes which looked like this:
1: I decided to leave it in D for the first pass. I did a very brief spin of the tires to clean them and lined it up. I stalled it to about 900 rpm and hit it on the last yellow.
60'......2.17
330'....5.83
1/8.....8.88
mph....81.38
1000'..11.49
1/4.....13.68
mph....102.15
The car seemed to be shifting into 4th as I was crossing the finish (stock shifts are lazy).
2: I started in sport shift mode and tried the 3rd gear trick. Same on the burnout as the first pass. I left off idle. When I hit the gas it felt like it spun a little and the pass looked like this.
60'......2.13
330'....5.84
1/8.....8.92
mph....80.79
1000'..11.54
1/4.....13.74
mph....102.68
The car stayed in 3rd when I requested it to shift back to second (the trick to keep it from shifting to 4th as it crosses the finish). It stayed in 3rd and my mph picked up slightly, but my ET was a tiny bit off.
Last run I did a 2 second burnout and staged. I used the 3rd gear trick like on the second pass. I left off idle and it seemed like it spun more this time.
60'......2.04
330'....5.72
1/8.....8.76
mph....81.88
1000'..11.35
1/4.....13.529
mph....102.92
I weighed the car after the last run and it was 3990 lbs without me and the race weight was 4180lbs.
Overall I was very impressed with the car. Very fun day and I can honestly say that the car is a mid 13 second car. It might be a while before the mods start, but now I have a baseline to work off of.
