Came in contact with a G8 GT

TongMan · 07-12-2010, 05:03 PM

On my way to my parent's house, I was driving through medium traffic and there was this white Pontiac G8 GT that appeared to be taunting me for about three blocks. Due to the amount of traffic, I didn't bite. Now I'm curious as to how my Z would fare against the G8 GT. What do you guys think?

At a 1/4 mile track it's really a driver's race with the advantage going to the Z. The G8 GT's are solidly in the 13 second bracket.

Throw in some twisty turns, and I'd assume the Z would come out ahead.

Obviously. It's a sedan.

My is350 is a sedan and I blew the doors off of 2 370z's with 3 different drivers evo, STI, porsche, 350z, built hondas and 240s... dont knock a sedan cause they have 4 doors

it doesnt make that big a difference it comes down to the driver

dont even get me started on the kill list in a straight line :P

Porsche 914? And wow, you even beat a 240Z? And you blew the doors off two 370Z's? And then you woke up?

Sorry, but it's not physically possible for any sedan to run quicker than a 14 second quarter mile or do the skidpad any better than .87.

Is the IS350 modded?

Lol I went 7.9 in the 1/8th and 12.6 in the 1/4... Nitrous helps...

was just checking out the specs on that car and I was surprised to see that it weighs 4000 lbs. Its also got a 6.0L V8 with 365 hp and 385 tq. and can do 13.7 secs in the 1/4 mile.

Which means if you are not on your game on the launch it could easily beat you.

I had one riding my butt on the highway a few months ago, so I "separated" from him by way of 4th gear. Surprisingly, he hung with me for a lot longer than I thought.

I got a call from my fiance who works as a police dispatcher, and she asked me "Were you just racing a Pontiac on the interstate?" I was SO worried, but it turns out he's one of her coworker's boyfriends that knows I drive the 370z. He called her to say how fast our "little car is".

I think they come in 5.7L also.
