Stock Track times 09 GT Does anybody have any stock G8 GT times yet ? The reason i ask,it runs good and all but i raced a couple cars that i should have beat if it runs 13.6 like they say ! But i lost to them !And tractin control was off,but for sure not an issue. My new G-Tech said 14.02 @102 which is ok i guess but still ???
you've got to have that gtech ON POINT! have you weighed your car? is the gtech calibrated 100% accurately and precisely? I have one too and they take a while to get just right. I think its a good too to use though.

srt-8 chargers are only running low to mid 13's. with the money you save buying a GT you can be running faster. Tune, intake and exhaust is about $1,500 (over estimating) and you should be running low 13's. Those cars are fast but the GT aint no slouch either

Right now New Era Performance and Roto Fab are the only 2 intakes available although others are in the works.
For tunes, almost everyone is getting VMS (Vector Motor Sports) tune. They are I believe around $300 or maybe a bit less, not sure. You can have almost any shop do a tune. Buddy of mine got his tuned at a performance shop and also got dyno pulls. So, you dont need to go big name.
Currently there are cams, headers, exhausts, super chargers, twin turbos, x and h pipes, intakes, suspension upgrades and coming soon brake upgrades. Not bad for a car that was released in April.

TuneTimes's G8 went 13.4 stock and tuned in the 13.1x range.. I know everyone has their own opinion on tunes but how can you NOT go to a guy in your REGION and get it done on sight and preferably on a dyno.. mail order tunes are in no way as good as real world (if the place is reputable) Good Luck.

I took my G8 to the track today with 218 miles on the odometer. I pulled in, turned off the AC, turned off the traction control, left it in drive, footbraked the rpm's at 1500 off the line and ran a 14.29 @ 99 mph. It ran a bit slower using the manual shift. I can't wait to mod this thing and start tuning it.
