He was originally in front of me, there was a challenger RT going slow in the left lane ahead of him passing a Semi. After passing the Semi, the RT cut over to the right, and then as the guy that hit me (Jetta TDI) went to pass the RT started speeding up to try and block him.

So basically the guy in the RT was being a jerk? Or the Jetta and RT were in some sort of road rage incident that you happened upon?
*sigh* and a totaled (possibly) SHO is the outcome. Sad day.

Hmm G8 GXP? Link to the video doesn't work. There were several variants of the G8... the 6.2 was the LS variant.. the 6.0 was significantly slower.

Nice slips though!

yeah you probably have to be Seth (the G8 owners) Friend on facebook to see the video i guess.

I suspect it was a 6.0L

[paokara777]

I just checked, its a "G8 GT" so that means its a 6.0L L76 engine

Glad to hear your OK, and still with US, Could have been a lot Worse,
Tell the insurance Company You Want all New Parts, NO Seconds..
I Can Barely remember EACH Total, and yes, more than One, I was 18 -20

Good deal, I suspect stock vs stock in the 1/8th a SHO will take a G8 GT... let alone a mildly tuned SHO, you probably tore into him a bit.

Second that one!! A lot of insurance companies will just go with OE stuff... but if you tell them only OEM gear depending on the insurance company, they are suppose to honor it.

As everyone said glad to hear your ok, in my past experience as long as the damage is less than 2/3 car value they'll repair it. Had a srt4 at 20 years old(super fun but not the best choice) crashed twice once at 70 into a guardrail which got repaired. Second one was a telephone pole at 45, that time I caught it in the passenger door...totaled. pretty much if you ruin the floor pan or roof (I did both) cars is fubar.

Really glad to hear you are OK, wrecks like that are enlightening.

Car is being moved to an insurance junkyard for them to assess if it is a total loss or what. I found a 2013, white SHO, with PP pretty close by. Has a moonroof (meh/No-Want) but it seems to be a pretty decent price and has under 50k miles with a 7yr/100k warranty.

The same dealer also has an RS, and some roush mustangs, so a few testdrives may be in order if I get word that I'm totalled...

Even if my baby isn't totalled, i may still pick up the 2013 because screw it. Baby one and drive the other.

There is also a 2011 locally for sale, non-PP, "Stock", but sold with extra parts to include SCT X3, 3 bar, K&N, Stage 3 motorsports downpipes, has a muffler delete done, and has 2 12's in the trunk. I would prefer the 13 over the 11 but who knows.

7yr/100k warranty is darn nice to have...

Go test drive them anyway because..  fun to try something new and scare a sales guy once in a while.  Downside is if it is a pressure/pushy salesperson or dealership.  I had one that we were light years apart n price on a rig, told them sorry, never ever pay that much.  They kept calling me for weeks..

Dang, Fred!  Sorry to hear about your accident and as it goes without saying glad you're okay.

I'll keep your OE wheels nice and safe in memory of your baby.

Thanks man!

Went to the dealership and unfortunately both the 13 PP SHO, and the 14 GHIG 5.0 6 speed are sold. Got to oggle a 16 blackout package GT 5.0 6 speed, with 401A though. I may end up getting a second vehicle just in case anyway, depending what insurance desides - If so it'll either be a 5.0 mustang, or a fusion sport or another SHO. Dealer has a 15 with 20k miles coming in soon from what they said.

Any update from the adjusters?
