On my way to drive a friend home today, I pass a G8 with "V" badges (from a CTS-V) on the trunk. Thinking it's a total joke, I don't do anything and continue on in 5th gear and low rpms. It seems like it's a V6 anyways consider there is only two exhaust tips (I believe the GT and GXP have 4). As I'm driving, he gets right up next to me, just thinking he's really not much (he had the ghetto fast and furious way of holding the steering wheel) I chirp my exhaust a little as I drop it to 4th. We get some clear road ahead, I drop it to 2nd.. then he downshifts... oh God it's a V8. I have beaten G8 GTs before, but seeing (and hearing the exhaust), along with him downshifting.. which GTs are mostly automatics... I have no idea what it is. From a 2nd gear roll... 35 mph to about 75 (not much of a race but he PULLED) he had about a full car on me. I'm next to him in traffic.. I ask him what's in there. He responds.. almost confused.. "uhh.. a 415." A 6.8L???? So what I'm thinking is he bought a G8 GXP with the 6.2L LS3 and bored it out to a 6.8L? It was fast.. but honestly I don't beat myself up over losses to American V8s, especially since my car isn't close to done. My mods are BBK LTs, MAC 3" Catback, SCT Custom Tune (however, my battery was disconnected then reconnected right before going out... did my car still have the tune?), Steeda Tri-Ax and a CAI. Any thoughts of what the thing was?

Cliffs:

G8 pulls up next to me with V badges.. seeing that it only has 2 exhaust tips I assume it's a V6 and some guy who thinks it's fast. Well.. it is fast.. and according to him it's a 415 (6.8L). From 35-75 he puts a car on me. Mods are listed in 2nd last sentence of paragraph.
