Guys, I can't vouch for this as I wasn't there in person but I did receive a video clip on my cell phone.

According to my nephew who is in the Army and has an off-base house in TN, he went Friday night to a track near Clarksville, TN for some kind of Midnight Madness drag event.

He knows I have a G8 GT so at 12:29 and 12:31 this morning (Saturday AM) he texts me two vids. While it's tough to see on my phone, he tells me he was watching a G8 run in the mid-9's twice beating a Vette that was running in the 10's. He said the G8 was supercharged.

Anybody have any idea who this might be and if we can validate this??

Vettes don't run 10's in the 1/8 mile do they?

Assuming it's a G8 at full weight, it will take just over 900 horsepower and excellent traction to dip into the nines. ;)
