Why they gotta be an s197?

<----Numbers

WilltheThrill · May 8th, 2008, 05:19 PM

i was going by a stock VS stock basis

rk_2000_Z/28 · May 8th, 2008, 05:33 PM

Stock Vs. Stock it should be a good race, but I think the S197 should be okay. These cars are going to be on par with the LS1 GTO's.

cmhoward7 · May 8th, 2008, 06:33 PM

I got a Motortrend the other day with the G8 GXP version in it. It has the LS3 in it pushing 402 HP... I think it said 0-60 in 4.7 Seconds. Not bad for a four door sedan. I think its a good looking car.. Saw one in person the other day.

i found a vid of one running a low 13 stock...let me see if i can dig it up

edit: here it is

nice track prep certainly helped no doubt, but still

drazga97 · May 8th, 2008, 09:55 PM

i laughed when i read 361 hp and 385 lbs ft at 13.8.... but yet again it weighs 4000lbs and its a 4 door. but that video just totally changed my mind.

GTblackprodigy · May 9th, 2008, 12:44 AM

it looks nice ..i think i've said this before but i would take one if i was older...who wouldn't want a grocery getter with a little balls..wouldnt mind taking the kids to soccer practice in this

I thought the gxp isn't out yet?

cmhoward7 · May 12th, 2008, 01:38 PM

I don't think the GXP is out yet either... I just saw the write up Motor Trend did on it this month. They also did one on the New Cobalts with the 2.0 Turbo. They said it does 0-60 in 5.5 and 13.9 in the Qtr. I guess chevy stepped it up a tad...
