2010 CORVETTE ZR1 vs. 2008 LINGENFELTER PONTIAC G8 - WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT!!

[wolfcheney84]

To of my favo cars from GM and I would love to see a Cobra try to keep up thats fricking buck nasty sick fast there.

[russmistro]

Holy integra!

[cardude1992]

gm should bring back pontiac and launch the next gen g8.

[PABLOCLLGPRK]

G8 insane.

[355SPIDER]

Josh told me you guys had set the record but 10.07 is just insane. I sold the Zr1 so I am going through withdrawls right now. I'm thinking TTZ06 next time. Josh is chomping at the bit to tune it and do the turbos. We'll see. Congrats man.

[arklatexan]

@355SPIDER

Thanks man, yeah she was movin out. Can wait to see your next ride. The ZR1 was amazing.

[arklatexan]

Lowered World Record again this weekend at the East Coast Shootout.

Went 10.07@136.01

[VERGILANDSEPHIROTH]

cmooooon the zr1 is fast that one is slow cmooooooon we all know stock zr1 can get 10.9 not with tune and get 12

[rekjavicxxx]

@VERGILANDSEPHIROTH With tires  ;)

[rmf09024]

@rekjavicxxx actually 10.33 @ 133

[txskin666]

thank god that integra lost, i almost shit a brick

[arklatexan]

I do currently own the record, couple weeks later went 10.41@134.......I will attempt to lower even more tomorrow.

[rekjavicxxx]

@arklatexan ....and in HD too! (no iPhones allowed ;)

[arklatexan]

@arklatexan

Record is now 10.07@136.01 and I still own it :D

[MaxwellReviresco]

I know it takes some seat time to drive such a handful of a car, but 12.0's 11.4...that's a big gap in time. I mean I've gone from 13.3-12.7's in a stock 04'SVT but that's like mid day summer heat to late night colder temps. 11.4's though not bad :-D

[Zcypot]

both owned by GM gotta love em :D

[JeremysRants]

Zr1 no burn out and needs driver mod lol

[RUazhiaziam335i]

How was the ZR1 not breaking 12's? Z06 runs high 11's

[arklatexan]

@RUazhiaziam335i

did you not watch video? that was his worst run. He ran 11.4x on another pass

[rockman1190]

Nice job man!!! .... see... I let you have it for at least a little while :)...... My car will be ready and at the track for first run and tune on 9-15-11..... so you have a couple weeks to enjoy :).....

[rekjavicxxx]

@rockman1190 HA! Boy lookin to steal the title :P

[arklatexan]

@rockman1190

I wont be out again until the 17th of Sept. What's your setup? I ran 10.75@129.27 with 1.57 60' leaving in 2nd gear yesterday on 305/35/19 MT DR on my Street CCW wheels lol. The record is going down, it will be how low do one of us put it!

[EagleHANtsi]

That shit just walked the ZR1 like it was parked. Say?? a re-match with the cobra???

[rekjavicxxx]

@EagleHANtsi Cobra was sold by its previous owner. No rematches :(

[EagleHANtsi]

@rekjavicxxx So sad, So sad. Well, I hope you find a new challenger

[408stuff]

Is a G8 that heavy? Seems like it should be much faster.

[rekjavicxxx]

@408stuff 4200+lbs

[Carder2009]

Awesome pontiac, That vette just seemed to slow

[arklatexan]

Um yeah. That cobra would lose by a couple of cars now.  But it's gone.

[MrStangerbanger]

can you beat that KB cobra yet ????

LEts see that rematch

[rekjavicxxx]

@MrStangerbanger He sold the car. Got a giant Powerstroke on 40's. Might have to do a video of that baby! :D

[99LS1SS]

Sweet video!

[rekjavicxxx]

@99LS1SS Thanks man!

[neurotoksin]

man! that g8 almost ripped the asphalt of!

[rekjavicxxx]

@neurotoksin Wheelstands up next ;)

[neurotoksin]

@rekjavicxxx uhhhh we! :D

[gogmorgoaway]

You know, torque isn't a unit... that's like saying 583 distance...

[pnskbk]

@gogmorgoaway TORQUE'S UNIT WOULD BE lb/ft per second

[gogmorgoaway]

@pnskbk Actually just lb-ft, however you want to put it.

However, just saying TQ or Torques to imply lb-ft or whatever is wholly inaccurate, since there are other units used to measure torque, most commonly the SI unit N·m or newton-meters, which is roughly 30% bigger than the lb-ft. So unless you specify, it could be a pretty significant misunderstanding!

[rickagray]

That some bad ass racing!!!!! Nice work on the vid brother!!

[rekjavicxxx]

@rickagray Thanks man! Glad ya checked it out :)

[declaratedvet]

OMG 11.8 in the TEGGY!!!!!!

[rekjavicxxx]

@declaratedvet Dude wanted the W......ZR1 wasn't gonna let it happen ;)

[chevychevelleman68]

this is an awesome video my good sir

[rekjavicxxx]

@chevychevelleman68 Thanks bro! Some awesome cars fo sho!  :)

[2007Escalade]

Kind of a dumb question - what's 4th gear detonation?

[kaleibob]

@2007Escalade engine issues in 4th gear and he let off to prevent damage

[rekjavicxxx]

@2007Escalade An explanation is in comment posted earlier/below...

[kief4diamonds]

personally i think the g8's first pass wouldve been the fastest if hedve stayed in it, but i understand why he didnt. notice he let off and still ran a 10.8.....ill bet it was a good 2 tenths before the light too. ok....give me a way to reach scott and the name of the tune and ill ask him.

[rekjavicxxx]

@kief4diamonds Yeah, I've gotta agree with ya man! But guess at least it'll live to try again another day :)

Sorry I overlooked adding the audio information in the vid description. I have updated it to reflect accordingly...

[johnnyyutw]

SUPER CAR...........

[IrishmenV8]

Dude... Your G8, is a Bad-Ass-4-door-rocketship!

[DerekYeray]

Wooow man !! that pontiac g8 have the engine of my dreams haha, he spray the vette too easily, damn ! my trans am it's not powerful like that pontiac g8.. :(

excelent video rekjavicxxx!!

[redrex3]

@DerekYeray

It doesn't have a G8 engine, but still a bad to the bone car.

[arklatexan]

@redrex3

yes it does.....we just stroked the ls3

[redrex3]

@arklatexan

...but the G8GT didn't come with an LS3.

[DerekYeray]

@redrex3 you're right dude, would be great if my car run like the g8 but i need some money to do it, hehe!

[JeremyMoar]

nice to hear zeppelin in the background

[crwireman254]

I dont know it has a wopping 88hp

[Fitzee3]

DUUUUUDE! that g8 was killin' that vette!!!  f'n awesome! bring back pontiac!!!

[rekjavicxxx]

@Fitzee3 Yup! Pontiac got it right, then flew the coop :(

[havoccan]

@rekjavicxxx Holden got it, right.

[Hunterman841]

@Fitzee3 tthe vette didnt do a burn out . it had alot of wheel spin so its launch sucked.

[rmsman]

Family 4door that runs high 10s even on 19inch drag radials. That's a bad mofo.

[arklatexan]

@rmsman

if wouldnt have not let out it would have been a 10.6x

[rekjavicxxx]

@rmsman He's a baaaaaad man! LOL

He's definitely hurt some feelins on the screets in that car! :)

[2strokerider]

Such a nasty car man!

[rekjavicxxx]

@2strokerider Dang sho is man!

[TEXASduramax]

love it 

[rekjavicxxx]

@TEXASduramax Thanks bro! Super fortunate to get to check this out in person  :)

[TEXASduramax]

@rekjavicxxx most mens dreams to get to see this kinda stuff up close

[MadRam11]

That G8 is so Nasty wow

[rekjavicxxx]

@MadRam11 Yeah man, dude has his stuff together fo sho! Thanks for checkin it out man :)

[crwireman254]

@quadguy112895 ok any1 who didnt know that was a joke is a moron, sorry if I got sand in your vagina, it was not on purpose

[paradoxdesigns]

[arklatexan]

@paradoxdesigns

[rekjavicxxx]

@paradoxdesigns ^Uhgreed!^

[crwireman254]

[crwireman254]

[quadguy112895]

@crwireman254 vids or youre a faggot.

[rekjavicxxx]

@crwireman254 $100 standing wager you won't! ;)

[903aaron903]

Love both cars- cant stand people hating on the zr1's either- That was some awesome times for a zr1- looks like he was even on street tires! A factory car putting out speed like that is amazing- best looking car ever also imo. I heard that they are a little tricky to launch anyway with all that hp- Good job on the drivers- and good job on the vid man!

[rekjavicxxx]

@903aaron903 I totally agree bro! That's a frickin respectable car, and anybody that knows what's up, realizes that car does work from 50-180 ;)

[Gasser4x4]

WOW! you were this == close to that record

[rekjavicxxx]

@Gasser4x4 Scary close!!!

[chevrolade1]

nice vid..what trans does the g8 have?

[arklatexan]

@chevrolade1

fully built 6l80e transmission from Century down in Houston

[kief4diamonds]

[rekjavicxxx]

@kief4diamonds Thanks man! You'll have to talk to Scott about grabbin a track. I've got a copyright contract with him, so not really at liberty to share material...

[kief4diamonds]

@rekjavicxxx or just PM me on ls1tech.....i am I8UR4RD

[hispanic88]

Cant wait to see the g8 at sealy in sept! Gonna be badass!

[arklatexan]

@hispanic88

[rekjavicxxx]

@hispanic88 Me too!

[arklatexan]

We didn't get it this time but next time at the track the record will fall!

[rekjavicxxx]

@arklatexan Yezzir it will! I wanna be there for it too!

[supersayin1]

These cars are WICKED!!

[rekjavicxxx]

@supersayin1 Straight sinister!

[supersayin1]

@rekjavicxxx Hell yes!!

[gsxrboi1000]

[rekjavicxxx]

@gsxrboi1000 Not quite the record, but OHHHHH so close! :) It'll happen ;)

[Michigancountryboy1]

your G8 wooped that corvette's ass and how does a little foreign car allmost beat a american made corvette? lol

[quadguy112895]

@Michigancountryboy1 his G8 is white...

[Michigancountryboy1]

@quadguy112895 where do u see were i said his g8 is white??

[quadguy112895]

@Michigancountryboy1 "YOUR G8 wooped that corvette's ass a..."

that g8 is grey, chris' is white.

[rekjavicxxx]

@quadguy112895 Guys guys....This is a Lingenfelter G8.....mine was not there that evening.

[quadguy112895]

@rekjavicxxx yes i know.... yours is white, there was not a white g8 that raced... lol

[jiglo1]

Thought Pontiac was Australian?

[quadguy112895]

@jiglo1 untill GM bought it.

[jiglo1]

@quadguy112895 Correct me if i am wrong but isn't the Pontiac G8 exactly the same as a Commodore that is made in Australia?

[quadguy112895]

@jiglo1 idunno...

[rekjavicxxx]

@jiglo1 Steering wheel is on the left, therefore domestic production ;)

[rekjavicxxx]

@jiglo1 Holden engineering, GM production ;)

[BadAzzR3dn3k]

i like that corvette looks nice

[rekjavicxxx]

@BadAzzR3dn3k Sick look for sure. No mistaking that powerhouse ;)

[venomws6]

awesome runs with g8 congrats

[rekjavicxxx]

@venomws6 Thanks for checkin it out bro!

[petenliz09]

Damm wish I coulda drove the 3hrs to feel that rumble. Would love to see that run again in cooler weather, definate thumbs up

[rekjavicxxx]

@petenliz09 Yeah man, it was definitely worth my drive! :D

[Bamabrute85]

ZR1 needs some mickies under it!

[rekjavicxxx]

@Bamabrute85 Good luck findin that in a 20" low-pro. ;)

[Bamabrute85]

@rekjavicxxx Well no shit lol. Thats why you put a set of pro stars out back. If this dude can afford a ZR1 he can afford to make it put the power to the ground. BTW is the ZR1 just tuned? or any other mods? How much does a tune help a stock ZR1?

[ohioborn80]

@rekjavicxxx Seen a TT Z06 with 20" CCW's and Drag radials at our track

[rekjavicxxx]

@ohioborn80 Bet that was a pretty sick ride! :D

[ohioborn80]

@rekjavicxxx It would have been if he had traction....LOL..He ran a 12.2@145 spinning all way down track..haha

[rekjavicxxx]

@ohioborn80 BAHAHAHA!! Nasty!

[Bamabrute85]

The fuckers actually launching in 2nd? Thats awesome

[rekjavicxxx]

@Bamabrute85 Got all that power....gotta do something with it ;)

[specialformula14]

whats 4th gear detonation mean.. like its firing wrong? timing

[rekjavicxxx]

@specialformula14 Timing was advanced to high so it was burning too hot for the amount of fuel supplied by the tune....imminent damage if ya stay in it....

[specialformula14]

@rekjavicxxx thx man.. im learning as i go.. beauty rides... im trying to learn as much as i can about LS engines and all

[Max23653]

the guy in the vet wont burnout he is a moron

[rekjavicxxx]

@Max23653 Careful, there's a lot more of the ZR1 from that night to come. The 11.4 pass was with a solid burnout! Keep your eyes open for the ZR1 compilation vid...

[rivercrestcolts55]

detonation is a killer, got to be really hot. One of your best videos man

[rekjavicxxx]

@rivercrestcolts55 Thanks bro! More from that track night on the way...
