Default Racing from a roll???

Hey guys, as you know from my last post the camaro got me by a car length he did punch it before we where neck and neck, so I want to know we where rolling at 30-35 mph, I see that the camaro has a 3:42 and I have the stock 3:31! OKAY I kno that the camaro would have won more if we kept going so dont give me all the Camaro is the beast and my lil ol GT wont keep up! LOL Just wondering if the camaro has a gearing advantage and anyway is racing from a roll fair? I look at it as just playing but still know I would get my butt whooped in a drag from a dead stop! But I think imma talk to him and see if I can get him to race from a stop and see how well my car does or does not! Lol I will bring my camera and show you the vid how it goes if I can get another chance to go!

Man I know you don't want to hear bad news but as soon as that Camaro hooks he is gone. The manual trans Camaro has launch control to so even a dummy can make one rip from a stop, sucks I know! I like the Mustang as a package, I have heard the Camaro motor is pure heaven, we all know the car is crap though...

the gearing difference isn't that much. if you get a CAI and gears the race will be between the drivers.

and since you are street racing there is no telling which car leaves early, not like at a track.
