Hello again guys I know its a little late but if any of you still wanna have a crack at the Rivals Unlimited Weight challenge I’m happy to share my build/tune with you all. This is the only Pontiac G8 GXP in the top 50 last I checked I was sitting 38th and there probably isnt more than 10 in the top 500. Its a fun alternative to the Holden, which no doubt the Holden IS faster but I often find it more satisfying to still be up there (maybe not as high) but with a completely different vehicle.

So lets get to it.

Conversion:
Aspiration Conversion - Centrifugal Supercharger

Aero:
Forza aero - (Front and Back)

Tires and Rims:
Tire compound - Race
Front tire width - Max/Widest
Rear tire width - Max/Widest
Rim style - 5Zigen, ZR+520 (or any rim of equivalent weight)
Rim Size - Stock (Front and Rear)

Drivetrain:
Clutch - Stock
Transmission - Stock
Driveline - Race
Differential - Race

Platform and Handling:
Brakes - Race
Springs and Dampers - Race
ARBs - Race (Front and Rear)
Roll Cage - Sport
Weight Reduction - Sport

Engine and Power:
Air Filter - Stock
Fuel System - Stock
Ignition - Stock
Exhaust - Race
Camshaft - Stock
Valves - Stock
Displacement - Race
Pistons and Compression - Stock
Centrifugal Supercharger - Race
Intercooler - Stock

That should give us A600 PI G8 GXP number should look like this:

Accel. 8.3
Launch 7.7
Braking 6.6

Power - 552 HP

Just used this setup in the Unlimited Rivals event, and it performed very well; even though I only got into the 1:36s, I still like this setup! Nicely done!

@SpeedDemon0388 Glad you like it, Im sure with more runs u should be able to bring it down a little more, I invite u to check my replay if you want, it may help you see gears during turns and at which points I step on the gas out of corners. It also helps to see driving lines which in many cases helps a lot. Thanks again for giving this a go glad u liked it! Be sure to stop by my storefront just keyword “H8”

Cheers!
