well i really dont count those as "mods" becuase u can do that to any car

So does it count as a stock car if it has those mods? I basically have tune, intake, and exhaust... but those arent mods? I dont consider my car stock anymore.

13.428 @ 105.66 with 2600+ DA

It corrects it a 13.01 or something like that...

Glad you guys enjoy my progression. I love my car, but honestly the disappointment of Monday really is making me consider returning it to stock and not FORDing with it. I mean, my warranty is at stake... I have slight drivability issues (harsh/stiff shifts, rough idle...) All that for .8 of a second in the 1/4? I dunno if its worth it. I think I will break into the 12s and then sell all my mods and keep my warranty.

maybe its EBCM failure.

So I headed to the LA Invasion yesterday... I was pretty disappointed until I got home and talked to a couple people.

My car ran exactly the same as it did prior to the headers, hfc's, full tune & ported intake manifold.

But the DA was almost twice as high, when I ran in Feb it was 1499, and yesterday when I made my best pass it was 2624. So all in all, I am happy. Time will tell if I am truly happy. Next year I hope to be running low 12s or maybe even high 11s.

Left Lane.

ahem. I think he meant me. xoxo <3

cause you like muscle cars with pink on them??? LOL, thanks in advance!

Ill be sure to get you a great picture at the track... big ole smoky DR burnout!

I like flat black cars I voted for you.

Physically my car has not changed much... BUT performance wise, I have dropped 1.0 off my 1/4 mile ET!

14.01 for my first pass (with wheel hop)

Hoping for 12.9 or less this weekend! (probably with more wheel hop)

I hope I get nominatezzz once...

Awesome update!

I wish to own a G8 of my own someday.

Good luck with that...

g8 gxp. and they just look mean. and its one around town here. that thing is mean as they come. plus the stick is always cool.

Other than the Wheels and the front lower bumper facia, they are identical on the outside...(since I have the rear GXP diffuser).

Welcome back Jess... and SWEET update!!! So your saying that with the mods you have done.... a GXP aint shit? NOICE!!! I'm sure the price diff is major right.... between a GT and a GXP?

Thanks, too many forums, not enough time.

A GXP was about 7-8k more than the GT. With everything I have done, I am about 5k ahead of the curve.

Pssshhh... Lame mods... I'll have to see them later next Friday.

jk, cool catch can

Jealous?

Very Nice!

So, I'm guessing that your gonna keep the engine cover since I'm sure that custom paint couldn't have been cheap. But it is nice that if you wanted to you can pop off the cover and still show off a polished beast of an motor.

Keep it up and put as much Pink on it as you want!

The engine cover was done by my body shop for free as a 'thank you' for a few referrals. I dont normally leave it on because it just keeps excess heat in the engine compartment/intake area. Plus, its just body paint, I really dont want it to fade.

Of course I am the same person.

GXP what? Dollar for dollar, I am now faster & cheaper than a GXP G8. Sure, I would of loved the brembos & the FE3 suspension... but I <3 my car.

Mark, I know of a great 06 GTO that is a manual and for sale. It is Silver with red interior... More or less stock. But probably 80k miles on it now...

But honestly, you know my answer. There are G8s out there for sale that are not much more than a Good GTO.

On the plus side, I would be more than happy to introduce you to the 'stick'.

I prefer the manumatic or whatever you wanna call my transmission over a manual though, and for less money than I could of got a GXP for, my car is quicker now.

Heya agains! SO newest update, Old axle back went back on... to quiet it back down a bit. I had a chance to get fully tuned at Haddads, also hit the dyno... 369.2hp 368tq. Then I added a port matched intake manifold, which has claims of 8 -10 hp. So of course I round up... lets just call her 380 rwhp! I am happy for the time being.

I threw a Billet Prototype oil catchcan on it as well, it was amazing how much oil came out of the back of that old intake.

Dont be hating on my Pinkness... It makes it mine.

I added headers and changed up my axleback. Heres the little teaser that I did after the install...

aw man... I forgot... went and played in the Mulholland hills for a couple hours after work

well those last pictures are tough to follow up to.

I have a canon Sx20. I also take a lot of quickie shots with my 3Gs

I now also have lightroom2. But, I am learning.
