I honestly think it would be a drivers race if a stock IS-F ran against your brothers G8. Just take a look at Gearbangin's post and videos of his 1/8 mile runs. Granted he has full bolt on and tune, his kills really surprised me. When I first got my F and it was bone stock I ran against a 6.0 GTO with an exhaust and god knows what else, I walked away from both a standstill and a roll.

The G8 was a neat car.

Not really understanding how a supposed stock G8 would run with an exhaust ISF

Yeah if anything I would say he is on level with a GXP at this point. He's never dynod his car but from G8 members have posted a proper I/E/H dyno tune G8 puts out 370whp. However thats only if tuned by Pat G who is a wiz at tuning the G8. My brother isn't dyno tuned though, just obd. So I figured it's a little less maybe 355-360whp or so?

Just checked another g8 forum, apparently someone managed to get 375whp out of a dyno tune and full bolt ons on a G8 GT. Went down to the 1/4 mile and ran a 12.7 @110mph on stock 18's and street tires. Impressive honestly.. I think my ISF will have its hands full if it's stock hahaha.... But knowing me, it wouldn't be stock for long though lol.

Show him this video. I'd be shocked if you lost a 1/4 run from a dig against him. My mods were ppe headers, borla exhaust, rrracing tune and 275 rear tires on stock 08 rims.

Here's a video of a member who put that claim to the test. As you can see, the is350 was even with the F through 1st gear, after that it slowly became a never ending pull lol.
Also no one ever said the is350 was faster or even equal to an ISF, just that first gear in the is350 is pretty damn good for what it is.
