If any one on here saw a red G8 with black stripes and black tsw nuringbergs on friday night 10/19/2012 either doing burnouts around town or street racing can you please contact me. This car was supposed to be at a local shop being tested friday night. They broke a supercharger belt at 130 am saturday morning while supposedly "testing " the car. They missed getting all the burnt rubber out of the fenderwells and suspension components. i cant prove anything as of yet but the evidence tells me something was going on. Any help would be appreciated!!!!

Seen the car in person that day. Needs a lot of love and attention. Let me know of I can help you guys in any way since I live near the new shop.

That sucks. Sounds like a shop to avoid.

Next time, have a recording device in the map pocket.

Was a belt all that was broken?

That's all that broke that night. There's a lot to the story. I'll let the owner explain. Don't want to step on his thread unless its cool with him.

Thats all that was broke that night other than the same transmission issue it went into the shop for! They "supposedly" had the tranny out 5 seperate times but still doing exact same thing. And beast you dont have to hold back on my account. ha ha. Its a public forum. Say whatever u feel. Im not gonna start too much bashing till i get all my facts together. Point of this thread is to find any witnesses.

Did you post on the G8 Board...

bad bowtie · 10-27-2012, 03:43 PM

My brother posted on the g8 board and i posted here. Shop Torq!

thebeast916 · 10-28-2012, 03:33 AM

It is on both boards for sure. I doubt we will be able to find anyone who may have seen or heard it that night.

But something with the car just isn't right. Dyno numbers were way off. Boost numbers were only 4lbs? So a cog drive had to be installed. A lot of things don't make sense.
