L99 Camaro still not as strong as G8 auto
 

Just from looking at how well the modded G8 GT's are doing in comparison to the l99 Camaro. 520 whp on a Maggie G8 GT auto, the closest l99 is 475whp.

Do the G8's run alot stronger?

It already sux that the L99 dyno's 40-50 whp less then a LS3 which = 75 hp difference at the crank, way more then the advertised 26 hp difference. Now there's a even more 30-40 whp difference between the L99 and G8 GT.

I not trying to bash the L99 but its a hard sell because of the huge difference in power.

Is there a possibility you are confusing the GXP G8 with the standard G8?

my fiance has a g8 gt, and I take her every time by 7-8 car lengths... I have a LS3 in mine though.

i saw a g8 with some bolt ons and a tune and drag radials and it was only running 13.8's

It's not 75 hp diff. You need to also take the 5-8% loss of the auto tranny.
Please know facts first.

So a auto SRT8 with -1 gear is faster than a SS L99 ?

Only 6-L99 cars have posted 1/4 mile ET's so far, considering this and the fact this is the hottest time of the year=slowest times, I'd say you'll see MUCH faster times this fall. So far Matt's 13.2 @ 106 is the quickest STOCK ET/MPH.

My '09 G8 GT ran 13.81 @ 104 mph bone stock, in hot weather. They have gone 13.50s with no mods already, in cooler weather. A buddy with just a tune on his went 13.20.

That being said, the Camaro should still be quicker. Just not enough track visits or data yet on the L99 cars.

g8 also has 3.70 rear gear too. Well at least the gxp does, not sure about the GT

I am converting my L99 to an LS3 when we put the Maggie on. The engine does not perform as well as my 2005 GTO automatic. The real solution is to offfer 3 options. The LS3 6 Speed manual, a LS3 Automatic with a gas guzzler tax (which I would glady pay) and the L99 for those who want to cruise.

We went to the track this weekend with 5 Camaro's running T/O 2 L99's and rest LS3's. My wife had the fastest time slip of the day...with a baby seat in tote. :headbang: Car is L99 equipped and 100% stock.

My L99 only made 303hp on a chassis dyno, yet I still managed a best of 13.59 at the track (and a couple 13.8s). There is a lot of torque management that needs to be taken out, and a lot to be gained in the shifting. I think its going to be strong against the G8

If GM would maximize the tune from the factory, no one would be bitchen.

I beat a G8 GXP by 1.4 seconds last week at Bandimere in my completely stock L99.
