My car: stock 2009 G8 GT, ran 13.5 @ 102.9 mph. For the race tonight I had three passengers plus myself.

His car: 2003 Mustang GT 5-speed, intake, exhaust, 4.10 gears. He didn't have any passengers.

Sorry about the quality, but it was a random chance meeting and all we had was a cell phone cam.

I didn't look at the speedo, but I'd guess we started at about 50-60 mph. I was expecting a loss due to having 4 people in the car, but I ended up pulling away from him.

Afterwards he gave a very enthusiastic thumbs up and then we pulled into a parking lot and chatted it up. Very nice kid. He told us his mods and gave props to my car. He said that he had always heard that the G8's were fast, lol.

Over all I was very happy! Good race, I won, and the other guy was real cool!

Good race!!!

I'm going down to NYIRP this sunday and will be recording New Era's G8 GT goin down the track. I love those cars. I'm detailing it on Saturday (just got my shipment of Zaino stuff in yesterday!). When it was basically stock Mike beat a 99-04 GT with it (dont know if it had any mods).

I think the G8 went 13.6 with a tune and a CAI and the mustand probibly went 13.8.

Its a bad video though...

I'm going to the track on saturday and I will try to take some more pics/vids of Mikes G8. Were hoping for 11's. :)

Very nice! What's the setup? An 11 second 4-door grocery getter is no joke :devil:
