My buddy's GT ran a 12.9 with and intake, midpipe, and he tuned it himself with HP Tuners.
Kind of funny that two guys with G8's with a couple of posts show up here. The only ones I've seen run have been bone stock and in the low 14 range. I'm sure they run much better with mods and a tune, but I haven't seen them run. If the G8's are running 111+ with said mods and the cobra is stock, this isn't a surprising outcome. Either way it most likely happened and will probably happen again, if there are still other stock cobras out there.
Anyone want to run my friends first cousins car, it's G8 GXP with dual flux capacitors, anyone?
Full bolt-ons and tune can trap 111mph so if the speed didn't suit the Cobra's gearing (or his driving), its very plausible. After all, stock Cobras trap 113/114 at best, right? Oh, I forgot about the rumored 115mph....
You saw the Chevy version? It's actually a longer wheelbase car for police duty only.
He sucks horribly or he's lying about "something". Stockers trap 105mph.
whats up thats my white g8 posted..
yep car is tuned by me, no handheld here.. have tuned i think 5 or more g8's now along with help MANY with their tunes also along with some trucks/fbodys/gto's
here is mw awhile back racing a buddys 03 cobra with catback, of course the roll race was his
YouTube- Shane vs LOSS4U
2 out of 3 for the Cobra, not bad.
The G8 moves out. :beer:
I'm going to mini hijack the thread and contribute...hopefully.
Who drives a white 03 Cobra (Terminator rims) in High Point that drives down highway 68 every morning? I would like to see what my car will do against your car. Also, what mods do you have?
Now on to the contribution...lol
As most of you guys stated the driver REALLY makes the difference in a street race. As most of my fellow G8 owners are aware of, assuming the drivers are equal, stock vs. stock a Cobra will easily beat a G8 GT. A stock G8 GXP vs. a stock Cobra is a little closer but I would still have to give the edge to the Cobra. I ran 12.70 bone stock in my 04 Cobra when I had it. My GXP might run 12.8s to 12.9s stock.
With that being said, anyone who knows car knows that the Cobra has brutal potential right out of the box. The LS3 has a lot of potential too but you have to sink more money into it.
Having had both cars I can say that I like both of them for different reasons. I LOVE the LS3 motor but I wish GM would have thrown forged pistons and cranks in them. That would level the playing field. But, they didn't and it isn't so I'm moving along. I liked the Cobra for the same reason most of you guys like it...POWER!!! The car stars lined up against me and my daughter was born right after getting the Cobra and the responsible thing, at the time, for me to do was sell it. Well, my daughter is 5 now and I can safely afford the G8 GXP. I like the G8 for the room and comfort. In my opinion, it's the baddest 4 door car for the money.
Couple posts? I've been here longer than you, and have more posts than you. I also used to have a Mustang, so I had a reason to be here.
they asked me to, you ***.
They really wanna run the G8 against a stockish terminator again to see how it stacks up.

Let's see, you have more than a couple of posts so I would venture to guess that I wasn't referring to you. Maybe in your world a couple is over 700, but not over here. Either way the internet is funny this way. One guy questions what a car runs and then all the owners from different sites show up out of nowhere to defend their "internet honor". Whatever makes you feel good about yourself I guess.
Defend "internet honor"??? Give it a rest man some of us have been on this board for considerably longer than most others in this thread. So because we chose to post in this thread we are now being accused of trying to "defend our internet honor"? Sounds pretty asinine on your part. Besides, I didn't notice any crap talking from anyone so what "defending" is there to do? Try making sense once in a while. oke:
I guess I have to spell it out for you guys. If you joined just recently and only have a few posts, then I am talking about you. Just funny that people jump on a site to do that. What part about a couple is so hard to comprehend? If that doesn't make sense, then maybe it's time to go back to school.
No, I got it the first time you said it. Regardless if someone has been on here for 7+ years or or 3 days doesn't mean squat. Neither does what vehicle they happen to own currently too. There was a slight lack of updated and correct information in this thread at first and a few G8 owners posted up accurate tech info. I never saw any crap talking so I don't see any issue here. Come on, if you are a browser on any given car enthusiast board and see people posting about the car you currently own, whether good, bad, or indifferent, then you will probably feel compelled to post in that thread too. oke:
