 and this story is uhh weird... Must have not downshifted  If you trapped around 98mph then it would have been a little more believable.

Re: weird race gsr vs. 96 trans am
Heard that man. I knew the Camaro SS came back for 96 with the LT4 engine and 305 hp. But I couldn't remember if the T/As got it or not.
And you made a good point. Maybe the T/A didn't down shift to just see if he could win???

that would definetly make sence for all the races from 80 up but when we raced from 30 he definetly floored it, he pulled hard at first and then only slowly gained until i let off at like 130

Re: weird race gsr vs. 96 trans am
Well, maybe when he seen he was pulling hard, he let up, or missed a shift?
Those cars just don't let up. They are very strong on top end. Unless its just like what you think, and the engine was shot, you shouldn't have been able to even read the guys plates at 130 mph. Judging from your 60 ft. times, you probably coudl stay close (if not dead even) in that distance, but I think even the worst driver could run 14.50s in a T/A. But I dont know. Those cars def. get run hard, and by it being a 96 model, he may have been gutted.

Re: weird race gsr vs. 96 trans am
Maybe he wanted to see if he could beat you in 3rd gear starting out at 30 mph...lol I've heard of the V8 F-body guys doing that. It also could have been a V6 where the driver made it look like a Trans-Am. It's been done before.
