my buddy followed me home today in his g6 gxp, so when all was clear i let him come up beside me and we went. those things are not to bad, i pulled ahead of him slowly till he governed and i was gone. second we went from a dig and i pulled ahead pretty much right away and got about car and a half ahead before i had to slow down for my turn off. was fun, he said he hit rev limiter.

Learned if either of us makes a shifting mistake the other will probably win. only 10hp difference. good race.

Nice runs, but what kind of car do you have and mods??? Had one in the middle lane with my Wife and I on each side of it in seperate cars, needless to say it couldnt keep up, LOL.

ss/tc with hahn intake and ic piping

i gotta try that one again on 94 octane, i pick up noticably faster on that than on 91

FutureEcotecOwner

Are you tuned or no? Either way you should still win, it just wont be close at all with a tune.

Projekt

hey man, dont race that fast..speed kills.


and sell me your IC piping

no im totally stock, i would have murdered him tuned.

his car is 3.6l 250hp stock.

sure, u can have it for $600, but hahn is cheaper so go with them. lol

That doesn't make sense, you should kill him. His car is bigger, heavier, naturally aspirated, and less HP/TQ. I think they are automatic too, not sure how many speeds. My mom has a G6 GT and it is a 4 speed auto.

ajjaro

this makes no sense???? the gxp goes through the 1/4 at 96 mph???

his is 6speed auto, and its only got 10hp and 9tq less than i do. he weighs 600pounds more though. this is a gxp 3.6 6speed, big hp diff from the gt. if we went would go longer cause it was a short race, i would have killed him. but for the fist 1/4 mile he keeps up pretty good.

ajjaro

based on what you've described, thats exactly how a race with a stock ss/sc would go

iv driven a ss/sc, and i know his gxp would kill that thing stock. but i think there was something wrong with that sc.

if it makes u feel better i will fill up with 94 octane and race him again. im sure ill murder him cause it pulls better than with 91.

ajjaro

i pulled on a g6 gtp before, when my ss/sc was stock, and the gtp has the exact same 1/4 mile times as the gxp...

i dont know man diff car diff driver, im sure my buddy was using manual shift which does better than with letting the car do it. whatever i dont care, i beat him thats all that matters. and im sure i didnt do the best shifting either, so there could be a reason it was close to. And the second time i did pretty much kill him, i passed him and pulled into his lane and then slowed down, if i would have kept going i would have been gone.

aterminatorz

I did not know the G6 GXPs are that quick. I thought they were all show and no go. Every feature on the car is exaggerated almost to the point of a joke, reminded me of the plastic clad Grand AM's back in the day.

All in your head unless you are tuned

And killing a G6 GXP is nothing to be proud about with a SS/TC

aterminatorz

That's what I thought, lol.

have u ever driven one? im didnt say i was proud of it, i said they are fast. they move man.

and ya they are easy to beat, especially since they are goverened at 115mph but i still show it respect. thats a good motor. especially the direct injected ones on the cts with 306hp.

i dont think so, i got a higher top end with 94 than i did with 91. and i got there faster.

newer ones look like crap but he has a 4 door, looks normal, nice car, i just hate the potiac front end. they seem to be puting them on all their cars. ugly ugly. but u wanna see something really ugly, look at the new 2010 mazda speed 3 front end, ull cringe then laugh ur ass off.
what the hell were they thinking??

06SS ALL DAY

wow dood my ss/sc pulls cars on g6 gxp's... whats wrong with ur t/c?

Jackalope

Try a G8 GXP.

Terminator2

They make pretty good hp close to a TC but weight kills them they come in at close to 3500 lbs IIRC and that is like having 4 passengers in your TC.

Not with a stock TC but a tuned one will definately beat an SRT8 Charger from a roll and the G8 GXP is about the same quickness.

Jackalope

So do I get to tune the G8 GXP too? If sooooo.......

tomj77

iTrader: (2)

stock or no?

man u guys just dont know how to read do u. read!!!! i never said i dont pull on him i said they are fast. and i doubt that if ur stock, his 0to60 time is the same as urs.

[QUOTE=Terminator2;3847484]They make pretty good hp close to a TC but weight kills them they come in at close to 3500 lbs IIRC and that is like having 4 passengers in your TC.

hey someone who knows what he is talking about, about time. i know they do and ya the weight is the deciding factor there, ss/tc pulls past em nicely, nothing to brag about fast, but ya, it would depend on the driver i guess, crappy driver = murder, good driver not as much.

For one you gotta buy one first, have an assload of money to cover the dealer markup on the GXP. Then have the cash left over to be able to afford a tune.

And if you drop 4K in to an SS/TC it will stomp all over a G8 GXP with a tune. So 20K + 4K in upgrades, vs $40,000+ (Should have gotten a vette range)and then a tune. Also if the tuned G8 gets beat, not only is the drivers feelings hurt, hes also broke....

or, or just wait a year or 2 and it will be 10k cheaper. lol

ajjaro

then why did i pull a gtp by a few cars on multiple rolls... when i was bone stock..?
