The G8 is a sharp car. Probably the best looking 4 door other than the CTS.IMHO

THREAD REVIVAL!
Since the Camaro has gotten a 12.6 now, wouldn't that put it ahead of the GXP? They are still so ridiculously close it's well, ridiculous! There is one in my town that I would sure like to meet up with and run at the track. |

First of all, this 12.6, was it completely and totally bone stock? My 12.93 was totally bone stock, the only prep was lowering the rear tires to 25 lbs. The other is that the 6 speed manual has the GXP by about 15-20 horsepower. There is also a numbers item. There were only about 1800 GXP's made, and I bet only 50 or less will ever be taken to the track, while the Camaro is being pumped out and sold on a continuous basis. Numbers alone blow away the GXP. I mean if over the next couple of years many guys are taking their Camaros to the track, it's like the army of Jamaica taking on the Chinese army. More cars to run equal more chances to get better times. The drivers who also started out running high 13's will figure out a way to better their times, given the learning curve, and that, along with some negative DA, will lower their times drastically. With my A6 GXP I should beat any auto Camaro, while the M6 Camaro should beat me. But it doesn't always work out that way.

Also my GXP would be at number 5. on the stock list, out of 30 cars. I can live with that. But like I said, as time goes on and more Camaro's are put on the street and taken to the track, then the more chances that my 12.93 will be bettered, and I would move further down the list. Before I purchased my GXP, I had a 09 A6 Vette and it turned a bone stock 12.15, on a great night of negative DA. At that time, it was number 4 on the vette bone stock list, but since I have traded it, my number 4 on the list is now number 7 (or so). Basically more vettes were on the road, and more drivers were getting used to their cars and breaking them in. I love the LS engines, be it in a Chevy, Pontiac or whatever. So I am as much of a fan of Camaros, vettes, Trailblazer SS, or any other car with a LS engine as I am my own car.

One of the coolest things about the G8 is how the front wheel flares stick out. Does not really show in pictures, but really grabs you in person.

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showpo...19&postcount=2 Stock 1. 2quick - 12.61 @ 111.60 mph, (LS3, M6) 2. nhra stocker - 12.62 @ 110.30, (LS3, M6) 3. b20 - 12.81 @ 108.73 mph, (LS3, M6) 4. speedy6963 - 12.87 @ 109.08, (LS3, M6) 5. 8ty8ls1 - 12.97 @ 107.61 mph, (L99, A6) 6. 1stGM - 12.98 @ 107. 34 mph, (L99, A6) 7. blufin - 13.03 @ 109.20 mph, (LS3, M6) 8. SSmokey - 13.04 @ 110.80 mph, (LS3, M6) 9. NineBall - 13.07 @ 109.07 mph, (LS3, M6) 10. Kathy63 - 13.07 @ 105.84 mph, (LS3, m6) As far as the GXP goes, our fastest bone stock times (in the 12's) are 12.81, 12.85, and 12.93. We don't have anything near your 12.6's. Again, the GXP is a couple of hundred pounds heavier and about 20 hp short, as compared to the M6 Camaros. So in this context, this is how it should be. Driven by a really good driver the M6 Camaro should beat the GXP, hands down.

The sad thing is that I was originally thanking the general membership of this site for their class when mentioning the GXP. I never dreamed I would have to defend the GXP when things that were posted were not really accurate. In your quote, you stated that the A6 GXP and the A6 are incredibly close. I find this to be relatively inaccurate, or accurate within a certain context. First of all we are only going to take 3 cars. The very best bone stock M6 Camaro, the very best bone stock A6 GXP, and the very best bone stock A6 Camaro. Per this site the number 1 M6 Camaro is: 1. 2quick - 12.61 @ 111.60 mph, (LS3, M6) Per http://forum.grrrr8.net/showthread.php?t=1641 the fastest GXP is an automatic. GXP4ME 12.815 @ 109.54 (GXP A6) Per this site the number 1 A6 Camaro is 5. 8ty8ls1 - 12.97 @ 107.61 mph, (L99, A6) Just a quick congratulations to these three drivers, who all did a great job. The best M6 Camaro is .2 faster than the best A6 GXP, while the best A6 GXP is .16 faster than the best A6 Camaro. The M6 Camaro has 11 more horses while the GXP has 15 more horses than the A6. Bottom line is the A6 GXP is solidly between the M6 and A6 Camaros, which it should be. The A6 Camaro and A6 GXP are just as close as the M6 Camaro and A6 GXP. This really isn't a great debate. We save those for which is faster between the A6 and M6 GXP on the G8 forums.

it is possible for the LS3 in the GXP to make the same or even more power AT THE WHEELS in comparison to the LS3 in the Camaro's because of other variables such as wheel and tire size/weight, tire height, rear end, ratio's, etc... |
