3000gt sl at vs 95 camaro v6

i was crusing going to my buddys house and then i saw a blue camaro drive past me the guy looks at me then floors it i thought this guy whants to race me so were driving and then the light turns red its a 3lane hes on the left lane and am in the the right lane theres nobody in the middle lane so were both waiting for the green light i drop my tranmission into first gear it turns green we both start togeater then i redline it to 6800-7000rpm shift it to second gear my tires sqeal and dont forget its a auto so my tires sqeal second gear and all of a soddon the camaro is losing by like 2-3 cars so rite now am so happy that i beat camaro v6 i thought i would never have a chance cause i have the auto tranny but i proved my self rong my car is bad ass i love i had it for 3months and i love it for me that was a bad ass kill

V6 camaros are not very ballsy. It's good that you beat one, good win. I didn't know SL autos would squeal second, that's nifty.

congrats, welcome to AF

automatics can be faster than sticks in some instances...... but i also didn't know u could squel into second very nice kill and happy hunting

Thanks for the info. Now i'll have to try that out for myself! :evillol:

there are a whole bunch of camaros in this area how do you tell which ones are the v-8 with 300hp +?

Well idk about camaros, but w/ Firebirds it's the ones that have 2 exhaust outlets AND say trans am or formula on them...the 6's will say firebird. Most 6's have 1 exhaust pipe, but some "high performance" 6's have 2, look for the Firebird written on the front fender/door. Also the sound, probly the same with camaro and z28.

Automatics are faster than Manuals ?

lol they CAN be he said. Like if your drag racing on a track, you want a modified automatic so that there will be perfect shifts, eliminating the chance of misshifts and human error. But for the average car, the automatic isn't geared or built for speed, it's built for smoothness and efficiency.

haha i haved used my auto as a manual before its fun.

thank u all and yes it was a good win soon am gonna have a downpipe a test pipe and a cold air intake then am gonna be houlin ass

need headers too man...or all that's for nothing. Unless that's what you mean by downpipe, 3S'ers confuse me with that, cuz everyone else says headers and downpipe, and 3S'ers just say downpipe and I don't know if you're just talking about the downpipe or the header too.

am just talking about the na downpipe i heard it makes 8-10hp from the downpipe and 6-8hp from the test pipe

I would keep your cat, your car doesnt have a cam that can really take advantage of the low backpresure from no cat. You will most likely lose quite a bit of low end torque and only gain a couple HP up high.

How the heck did ur car squeel into second? are u sure it wasnt the camaro? :)

yea i swear it wasnt no camaro plus i did it before its pretty easy just rev ur engine high then shift to second am tellin u its easy

mine doesnt, ill be in first ,rev it up to 5500 then shift, it shifts into 2nd at 6500 and doesnt squeel

I think that the viscous nature of torque converters makes for a less instantanious transfer of power than with a clutch.

yeah i am with stealthmodifer, i have an auto, and i cant get them to sqeak in second, what the hell are you doing thats diff from us??

what do u guys recamand for wieght reduction i now spare and the tools ac and what else do u guys recamand thank u

open your hood, decide what you dont need. Remove said items.

repeat as needed to other areas of the car.

well i have a 95 base auto and when i pop it from first to second it will squeel...but what i do is right before i shift it i let off the gas then a second later i put it in second and floor it at the same time

IM not an expert, but i would imagine letting off the gas between gears and then slamming it when it shifted would probably slam the gears, which isnt usually good, but hey if it works for you and you havent had to replace the tranny yet....more power to ya...
