At first i thought maybe, new car, so driver isn't as familiar with it yet. But, what i find odd is you pulling in 3rd where i think the camaro would really start pulling on you. But then you through out lines like this, "My friends call me LS1Eater I've been trying to get a vanity plate like it. I've taken out multiple Fbodies." Really? Why would you even make a statement like that? Well, maybe you literally eat ls1 engines, becaue you sure aren't beating them in a race in less they put them in semi's.

And then on to the father comment. Ya, your sig screams of an older guy. And, then if that weren't enough your user name is dj essenz. So, how old are you? Not a good idea to talk about track experience to someone who runs in the low 10's

I have to call BS, how in the hell are you pulling a 260+rwhp car after third gear? It makes absolutely no sense. I can understand you jumping on him out of the hole but he would have to be running you down after that, unless he missed third everytime.

You're done, that **** doesn't fly around here. Many of us are blue oval fan boys but we are also educated.

theres no way he was racing. im likely to lean towards this didnt really happen, or he had no idea how to drive (or didnt feel like it).

even if his was a bone stock auto, hed pull on you.

i ran into an SS this week, he punched a little, i punched a little just to know i wasnt prey. we didnt end up racing, but i gave him a thumbs up anyway.

went into the dealership to look at em (didnt have one, gettin in 2 weeks, they already sold 4) and actually was on the phone with the salesman while posting this haha.

Here is how he "takes out" LS1's with a V6.... (Ref to Post #11)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_2oB...layer_embedded

Actually this happend lastnight at our local track, 2002 35th Special Edition
This kid was the first pass of the night. He broke traction about 100' - 150' into his pass and kept it floored all the way to the rail. You can see the tracks in the first few seconds of video. He hit the rail so hard, that when the car came off the ground, his back bumper was level with my head.



Anyway,
The 2010 Camaro V6 has 304hp @ 6400 RPM and 273 Tq @ 5200 RPM (Weight 3780 lbs)
1/4 Mile (sec @ mph): 14.2 @ 98.9

the 2010 Mustang V6 has 210 hp @ 5300 RPM and 240 Tq @ 3500 RPM (weight 3400 lbs)
1/4 Mile (sec @ mph): 14.8 @ 96.1

Now that being said there are several V6 Mustangs running low 14's with just intake and tune, and that is what a stock Camaro V6 runs as a best 14.5 should be average.

^^^ True but the Mustang 6'ers with intake/tune are not trapping around 100 like the Camaro's. So that still wouldn't explain how he pulled on him after 3rd gear.


Either way this is pointless. The kid lost all his credibility with post# 11.

dj I hope this is a joke because you obviously fail at life if you think that happened.
