I really liked this video. Both of you are humble and "normal" people talking about the car without the extremely intense way of speaking that many other "car guys" use.. Which is more like a hammer into the head
In Australia 🇦🇺 where all these cars are built Gxp numbers total only 700 half utes and half sedans but are called Ve Gxp hsv clubsport manuals and autos
Luv your expression when giving it gas. I have what we call HSV GTS 6.2 LS3. Thank You for great video positions, good to see sum1 do it a bit different. Take care mate. 🧡🇭🇲🧡
Hey a little secret not sure if you have drive tuned to rev higher but just fbo g8s if you go into manual mode get in the gear you want smack the gas go into drive and then smack it back into sport mode it will rev out to 6200rpm instead of like 5800 like normal
I have owned 5 turbos in my life. Turbo bypass valve, blow off valve, all the same. It can either recirculate into the system or blow it off. Does the same shit in the end.
@@Juuustiincasse i never said that. I was simply correcting you. If you got butthurt thats your problem not mine. And D.A.S. i dont care how many turbos you have owned. Supercharger bypass valves work on the same PRINCIPLE, sure. But blow-off valves and bypass valves do two different things... Thats why we have different names for them...
That is weird. I make 730 rwhp but my G8 has run a best of 10.4@138 mph. Big difference for me only making 13 more rwhp. I think that G8 is making more around 650 rwhp
Love the car hate the plate cover. Supercharged taking shot at honda lol. No hate just making point that a 13k g8 with over 13k in mods for atleast a grand total of 26k. Would get walked a 2000 dollar civic with 8k in mods for 10k. Or stock s2000 with just a turbo kit.😜 just saying. And mind you im not a brand boy im a enthusiast. So i don't hate i learn and research. As you get older you will get wiser as well lol
Yeah but you're talkin about 1000 lb car not even in the same weight class there's plenty of Chevy cruzes Cobalt with a thousand plus horsepower with just a turbo I really don't think you did much research
Hey man, I just bought a g8 gt 2009. Can you comment everything you’ve done Bc I want this😂 I want mine like yours and as much as I like the video I don’t wanna keep watching. Or if you wanna email comment yours.
Lol who needs vtec that’s shits so lame My corolla got vvti lmao I did hold off a camaro ss yesterday because we were stuck in traffic so he couldn’t squeeze between cars like me, but man with 4cyl and a straight pipe you can get a lot of sport and muscle cars wanting to play surprisingly. If you ever in Mississippi I got you from a 60 roll lmao.
Well... he certainly isn’t a “car guy” he is a car enthusiast...

The owner was scared asl when buddy was driving
I wish I had a homie that would let me drive that ride
Great to see this Aussie muscle getting love in the US.
now get some chicks sitting on the passenger side and watch the views roll in ha ha!
Wow What a Kick down at the End . And i Though My VXR8 had one in UK Good Vid mate
RIP Pontiac.
No, RIP Holden, Pontiac had nothing to do with this car other than the badge.
1500 auto and 1500 manual GXP’s?? No sir.. 1829 GXP’s total- 983 autos and 846 manuals.
The fact that I can tell you this is on business 24 in Washington IL 😂
What kind of transmission its running
Nice that thing pulls hard
got the gxp front bumper but forgot to switch out the base model tail lights
That car is a beast

This had the rev limiter set to 6700
Stock bottom?
G8 Gt?
It’s weird that it has base G8 tail lights. I thought it was going to be a boosted V6 for a second.
Nice!
What exact tire size and rim height and width dimensions? I have a magnuson sc G8 GT and would also like to use a 295 tire
Jrod97100 fenders are rolled it’s a 295/55/17 I believe.
@@leschar1 I'm assuming they don't rub?
Jrod97100 they’ll rub unless your fenders are rolled pretty flush
It's a supercharger... it's not called a blow-off valve, it's a "bypass" valve.
I have owned 5 turbos in my life. Turbo bypass valve, blow off valve, all the same. It can either recirculate into the system or blow it off. Does the same shit in the end.
D.A. S. Thank you, kills me when people are like “you don’t know what you’re talking about” for mixing up apples n oranges

@@pino6247 are you on autopilot? Read my reply, and you'll see I agree
Wot was the cost? Here in Oz be 10 times more cash
What?
@@leschar1 hey mate I can translate Australian.
Graham wants to know what it cost you to build, as here in Australia it would cost 10x as much.
Still got the car?
Is the car still sbe?
What exhaust?
This was a long tube headers, solo 3 inch cat back without the cats
@@leschar1 thank you. Can I have the procharger specs? Fuel pump?
Your GTP was faster.
How long did stock bottom end hold?
Over a year at 791whp. I sold it and the new owner blew it up shortly after
James Pruitt FTW what kinda times did it put down after he tuned it the last time
11.7 @129

Rhett Castillo my 60ft is horrible. Full weight. No drag pack.
@@leschar1 I've run an 11.1@136 full weight, on 255/40/19 street tires with a 2.1 60ft.
Your trap speed is really good. Are you LSA? I went 10.9 at 127 on 650whp.
That’s badass
Houston
What rims are those called?
Says it in the video.
Is it the 6l80 or did you do the 4l80 swap
why would someone swap a 4 speed into this?
ThoseDetailingDudes You couldn’t have answered his question like a normal person would?
@@lastfewtokes no
@@leschar1 Hello Dude are You thinking about selling it?
@@leschar1it's better for drag racing and the 4L80 is more durable than the 6L80

Even if that's the case I would still love to own a G8 either way.
