Came in contact with a G8 GT
 
On my way to my parent's house, I was driving through medium traffic and there was this white Pontiac G8 GT that appeared to be taunting me for about three blocks. Due to the amount of traffic, I didn't bite. Now I'm curious as to how my Z would fare against the G8 GT. What do you guys think?

At a 1/4 mile track it's really a driver's race with the advantage going to the Z. The G8 GT's are solidly in the 13 second bracket.

Throw in some twisty turns, and I'd assume the Z would come out ahead.

Obviously. It's a sedan.

was just checking out the specs on that car and I was surprised to see that it weighs 4000 lbs. Its also got a 6.0L V8 with 365 hp and 385 tq. and can do 13.7 secs in the 1/4 mile.

Which means if you are not on your game on the launch it could easily beat you. :tup:

I had one riding my butt on the highway a few months ago, so I "separated" from him by way of 4th gear. Surprisingly, he hung with me for a lot longer than I thought.

I got a call from my fiance who works as a police dispatcher, and she asked me "Were you just racing a Pontiac on the interstate?" I was SO worried, but it turns out he's one of her coworker's boyfriends that knows I drive the 370z. He called her to say how fast our "little car is". :tup:

I think they come in 5.7L also.

Yeah. I put 12 bags in my Z. Problem was, I couldn't get in, but at least the groceries were in.

My wife's car is a G8 GT, when i got my Z i was very disappointed in how it felt in the tq department. But i guess that's what i get for driving the G8 around for like 3 months while waiting for my Z to come in. And the G8's trunk is huge you can fit 3 dead bodys in there no problem. The Z is still way way hotter but they are both fun too drive. This is the only pic i have of it in my profile.
