2009 PONTIAC G8 GT SLOTTED ROTORS - ACCELERATION/BRAKE TEST!

http://www.triplexmotorsports.com
Timelapse of the DBA drilled and slotted rotors and Hawk performance pads installation. At a relaxed pace, it took about an hour, including application of the non-friction heat resistant compound. Afterwards, took the car out just to see how it would do from 0-60-0 MPH. Car wouldn't hook up on the first two launches, then hooked well and stopped great on the 3rd attempt. Total cost for rotors and pads was about $1000.
Mods include American Racing long tube headers, Magnaflow exhaust, Rotofab CAI, Powerbond underdrive pulley, DBA drilled and slotted rotors and Hawk performance pads, throttle body port & polish and East Texas Muscle Cars custom dyno tune - 371RWHP and 387RWTQ.

Ok being the old man and the clutz I am ..... Always remember to lift the jack handles up it saves your shins and possible face plants .... Oh by the way fastest brake job ever bwahaha

[rekjavicxxx]

@Knukyknuk Haha....duly noted  :)

[phr1sk37]

Pity GM killed off this old and loved breed especially right when this G8 is such a beautiful vehicle. It is rare to find a stick-shift yet alone a V8 here in Canada =(

BTW are those DBA rotors really good? I have never warp rotors on my Firebird but with my truck I have tried Raybestos, Federal-M, PBR, Brembos and others ... they last just 1 year! (Is that a V1 radar?)

[rekjavicxxx]

@phr1sk37 So far, so good on the rotors. And yeah, very observant....it is a V1 :)

Hey Fro, was there some clicking? I was trying to listen to the pad noise if any extra. Next how far was the stop in feet? My G8 stops well from factory but better stopping is a plus. Any idea on the largest width of the rear tires? Thinking of going to a 265.

[rekjavicxxx]

@Jjackson339 The stock rotors were beginning to shimmy a bit, so just figured if I'm gonna replace them, might as well upgrade!

You can do 285's on aftermarket wheels, but not on your stock wheels, if that's what you're asking...

Thumbs up for hookin' up the wifes whip!

[rekjavicxxx]

@tat2titan Cool man! Good to know. Feel pretty good about this, but guess I won't know for sure until they get REALLY torture tested ;)

[davidblackcandela]

Ok. Would have been cool to see the difference.

[rekjavicxxx]

@davidblackcandela No clue...

[davidblackcandela]

What was the before timing?

[rekjavicxxx]

@coalminedipper Naw, guess I'm too redneck for that....haha
