I raced a camaro today...

Its just that he raced a reasonably fast car (assuming it was LS1/LT1) and beat it, then the guys tell him that their friend has a car that would be a good race which turns out to be a car not known for speed. Seems fishy to me, just race for fun.

I was thinking the same thing. He must have missed a shift in a big way to jump out that many lengths.

it was wet and he spun out a crap load, but I kid you not I was that far ahead of him

even on dry pavement I would have smoked him.

I am bringing my camcorder this weekend and try to find a race and record it

igovert what about an LS1 vs vr-4 w/ downpipe, boost controller, gutted cats and precats, should be pushing 395 at the crank so should be pushing over 300hp to the wheels. don't have many mods but wondering if i am close. (i'm a good driver w/ 1.8 and 1.7 60' times. how much hp does the ram-air have? i want to go look for one.

man with those mods you will totally kill him a trans am ws6 ram air model has 325hp at the crank lets say he has a catback exhaust and headers oh yeah and intake you will still kill it a vr4 with those mods can kill a 911 turbo (if you have seen de 99 vr4 VS 911 turbo video) you can probably believe those mods will kill the LS1 raim air

Yeah i agree you can get up with a better launch a n keep the speed - so if u can drive ur like its part of ur body - then u should be able to win in a offical drag race.
I beat a 2001 Saleen Mustang with 505 hp - on route 80 in parssipany - i had 2 people in my car to - an as soon as he got on it an i heard that car roar - i dropped it in second i could up an polished the road right along side of him... then pulled on 3rd i think i only went about 160 or so cause i was in 4th gear still - i let off when i was like 2 1/2- 3 cars infront of him... the guy followed me all the way to the mall ... he gets out i thought he was gonna fight me cause of the race... was like Yo! dude pop that hood i gotta see whats under that bitch... i was like pal there isnt anything - he was like i never saw a car pull that hard before in my life...
Needless to say we are now friends an hang out often... he is lookin to put a wet kit in his mustang - i know i will get owned now if he get the L-gas
