IDK if you read it on youtube or not but it is running a 100 shot nitrous and the beginning nitrous purge is a dead giveaway and not a broken a/c line lol, so those times are not for a bone stock G8 GT. Rather a 461hp engine in this case instead of 361. But it is nice to know the engine can handle it. Hopefully it wont explode that L76 on the next run.

Watch at the beginning of the video when a white vapor shoots from the cowl area.

The cameraman is heard to say "Is that the air conditioning?"

You know darn well what it is Mr. Cameraman -

It's Nitrous Oxide purging before the run.

Tricky, but I'm not falling for it.


Don't get me wrong the G8 GT is fast - With a proper engine tune and premium fuel that let's the engine computer advance the ignition timing further, these baby's are easily putting out 400+hp (L76)

There is a discussion over in off topic about this..

Stock the G8 ran high 13's (13.8 if i remember right)

stock with a custom tune it ran 13.4

Stock with a 150 shot nitrous (this video) it ran 12.6

He was joking around sir. I figured you of all people would know that people can come up with several reasons why it's not nitrous.
