bobwb · Dec 13, 2009

getting my 4.10s installed tomm, my 86 gt is all stock, my son-in law has a 2008 pontiac gxp v-8 think its the chevy v-8 motortrend says 0to60 is 5.7, i rode in it , think it might be a bit faster then mine with my 3.27s. you guys think i can do it? i did a 0to60 years ago with a buddy along , we got like times from 7 to 8 secs. but we both had quiet a few millers in us then, a long stretch out in the sticks back then. like 20 years ago, now days it seems like there is a cop around every corner when you want hop on these cars.

thats the one with the ls1 motor right? I dont think you'll be able to get him unless you have some drag radial, then you have a chance. those cars are pretty fast, they sound great too.
convert to mass air, put like 2Gs into a head/intake/cam and you'll smoke the **** out of him.

My friend I have one word for you and that is "LS3."

415 hp vs. you're slow AOD car.

IF you wanted to run a 4.10 gear, covert over to a t-5 and leave the line at 5500 rpms with a dialed in pinion angle on a full slick, you might be able to hold him off until the 1000ft mark but he will reel you in.

I've watched a fully gutted notch run a mid 12 on a 6000 rpm side step and a stock carb'd long block. It was a guy who used to street race in Chi-town; went by the handle EZMONEY. He threw a junkyard 5L in his car while is stroked Clevand was being redone.

My point of this is to enjoy your car for what it is. If you want to think about hanging with the GXP G8, it will take a fair sum of cash if you want to do it the right way.

You could always just spray a 200 wet shot on your ride and cheat. I've seen foxes go from mid 14 passes to deep 12's on 200 wet shots.

13.3 to a 15.5 is bus lenghts...

they are also ls3's if memory serves me well.. pretty much if he has anything done, your going to need a h/c/i gears and tires..

A GXP or even a G8 GT will rape you. Sorry.

Mr. Rustypwnz · Dec 13, 2009

a new maxima will destroy you lol..

srtthis · Dec 13, 2009

He's going to bust your ass... Drop to 373 and spray it and it will be close

his gxp is a 2008 305hp. 5.7 0=60. 14.30 quater. 5.3 motor.

bobwb · Dec 13, 2009

gxp

not a g8 model. he has the 5.3 motor i think its 303hp. not 400 hp. i rode in it, its fast but not that fast, i would no way try to race a g8 400hp with mine. he is thinkinn about trading up to the g8. espelly if i whip his but.

fixed it

GroverDill · Dec 13, 2009

G8 GXP only came with the LS3 (6.2 liter) the G8 GT has a 361 hp L76 (6.0 liter)

I am not sure what car you are speaking of.

bobwb · Dec 13, 2009

gxp model, not a g8. they even put this engine in the buick lacross. its a 5.3. 305hp. not the g8 gxp. he says 2008 was the last year of his motor.

1991notchbackLX · Dec 13, 2009

he's gonna rape you regardless, save yourself the embarassment in your AOD slug and fake a mechanical issue the day before the race

bobwb · Dec 13, 2009

gxp

forgot, his has front wheel drive. the g8 are rear drive. his motor looks funny sideways, never seen a chevy v-8 that way before, but it sure moves out pretty good.

will i beat him?
