9.2@151.... fastest and heaviest G8 known to man....
not sure what the "unaltered" means in the description of the change..... its says any unalerted production vehicle....... so they may intrepret this as a "zr1" or such could run.... but "unaltered" is the big question of the day...... cars like the zr1 and gt500 are made to go seriously fast..... g8's werent.... they may just be trying to attend to those that have crap loads of money that buy beyrons, zr1s, ferraris, etc.....
i am sure there will be more to come on this..... on what exactly "unaltered production vehicles" mean.... I am thinking any g8 that can go faster than 11.50 is "altered"...

The rule is very much unclear.
I would bet it is only for those cars that can run 11.50 or better from the factory...... it would suck to by a zr1 and cant event take to the track..... those cars are built for high speeds..... I cannot beleive they would let a 2008 ford focus go almost to 9's without at least a cage,..... someone could add crap loads of power to it and it is surely not safe at those speeds....
i really think they will clear up the rule and specify certain cars that truly come from the factory at those speeds.... which arent many!!
either way, I guess i am at 135mph mark so it doesnt really matter anyway....

Appears that the rule will apply ONLY at specific event where the "Street Legal Style" class is being run. Obviously it will apply only at NHRA tracks, IHRA not yet making any rule changes to match this. DOT tires will be required. Registration and insurance will be required. Oddly it appears Nitrous will be allowed too. There are a lot of questions in the racing community about the intelligence of this rule change due to safety aspects.
