my v6 camaro vs 08/09 g8 GT - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I ran into a I believe a 08/09 g8 GT and I was surprised how I ran against him. He didn't look or sound to be stock at all so I believe he had a few bolt-ons. 0-60 we were pretty even and then I missed 3rd gear because of my girlfriend yelling in the background >.<. Even though I missed 3rd he started pulling me slowly. I think that with smaller wheels and my car finally tuned I would have beat him. What you guys think? That g8 sounded amazing.

stock g8 u may have a chance. if the g8 has an exhaust and tune no way. my g8 with just a tune ran 13.69 at 103. 2.1 60ft. idk what v6 camaros run but they are fast. g8s reapond great to mods so be careful who umess with. they are real sleepers

gjarzabek009 · 08-19-2011, 12:14 AM

idk man, arent they stock 0-60 like 5.8 seconds. Thats pretty close to a stock camaro

2009 Pontiac G8 GT.
The GT comes with a 361 hp 6.0 L (364 cu in) Generation IV V8, featuring a 6-speed 6L80 automatic and Active Fuel Management, capable of reaching 60 mph (97 km/h) in just over 5 seconds, with quarter-mile times as low as 13.5 seconds.

damn well I feel proud of myself

gjarzabek009 · 08-19-2011, 12:12 PM

What gearing do they have?

KMPrenger · 08-19-2011, 12:35 PM

Guessing maybe the G8 just had exhaust? who really knows lol.

But anyways, gjarzabek009's V6 Camaro with the mods he has done is definitely capable of 13s, and with smaller or lighter rims most certainly capable of mid to low-mid 13s in the quarter.

So its not suprising to me that you kept up.

woodstock · 08-19-2011, 12:41 PM

They weigh a little more than a V-6 Camaro.

thebeast916 · 08-19-2011, 10:15 PM

stock in the gt is 2.92

kiteman · 08-19-2011, 11:42 PM

i think the gt would beat you 9 of 10 times. they aren't that fast, but they are fast enough to where gm would not have built a v6 camaro to beat a v8 mustang...otherwise they would have had no reason to build a v8 camaro at all.

Your statistic doesnt seem to be accurate according to this race and I missed a shift.

SWAT 79 · 08-20-2011, 08:08 AM

With your mods you can probably keep up with one from a dig, but keep in mind they have much more mod potential and have some very serious top-end power

Camaroirocz · 08-20-2011, 03:22 PM

A stock G8 GT puts down somewhere around 290-300rwhp. They make about 360bhp and alot of torque. A G8 GT with just a tune, some exhaust mods will make close to 340rwhp. Every car is abit different yes, but in general, they make some good power increases with the opened exhaust and tuning.

How do I know? I know a guy from my local board who has just exhaust and tuning done to this car so far and he makes 338rwhp. He has been racing alot of local guys and has beaten just about all of them with V8's and I think one had a turbo 4 cylinder. So from a dig or a roll, honestly, the G8 GT is going to kill a V6 Camaro unless that 6 banger is modded to heck and back. That's IMHO.

stock for stock - G8 unless he can't drive.

mod for mod - G8 unless he can't drive.
