Looks like someone might be having a very fun test drive. Man, if the GT can run very low 13s, imagine what the GXP can do.

Thunder from Down Under

I can't wait for my GT (if it ever gets here)

what really? low 13s? I was thinking it would do high 13s or extremely low 14s, that's looking pretty nice for the GT model.

yeah, wow! low 13's? i thought it'd be high 13's or low 14's as well...

Edmunds got 13.7. Edmunds times are usually slow, so it doesn't seem that unreasonable.

High hopes for G8 sales =)

yeah they're usually slow, but not over .5s slow

13.7 and 13.1 are HUGE differences. that's a few thousand dollars in performance upgrades to drop that kind of time.

Yeah I was surprised to see that too. Its an automatic too, so it can't be all just the driver. But if its legit, than Pontiac already has a car that runs with the SRT8s. Imagine the GXP!

yeah, there shouldn't be that much of a difference with the auto. and i'm just having a hard time understanding how GM could make a sedan for under $30K that is only .3s slower than the Vette in the 1/4

Maybe it has upgrades? Could have been a development car for after market companies. Then again if it is legit props to GM.

0.3? Which Vette? I thought they ran low 12's.

Automatic Convertible?

stock c6's run mid-high 12's. when i did a google search the first time i found was 12.8. you can get in the low 12's if you're a really good driver.

I saw this posted somewhere else..they said the owner had flashed the ECU but the car is otherwise stock. It does have a little more power than a standard G8 GT but probably not much.

no one makes canned tunes for this car yet, so i don't see how he just flashed it. if he got a custom dyno tune, then that would make sense. thanks for clearing that up, Jim. i figured it couldn't be stock, but wasn't completely sure.
