Community Monthly Rivals - Unlimited Weight Top 50 Pontiac G8 GXP

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.

@Freheliaz Hope you come back and share results! ENJOY! :smiley:

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!
