Default raced a lt1...

last night me and my friend were driving around at like 1 in the morning and we drove through the mexican place that a bunch of people always hang out at. We did a burnout in the parking lot to **** them off and a camaro chased us. Whats funny is we raced the guy before about a week back before i had headers and u/d pullies. We raced him a couple times from about a 30 mile an hour roll the first time i didn't drop it into first and he took me by about a car. Then we raced again and i dropped it into first and took him by a car. We also raced on the freeway and he took me barely. We talked to the guy afterwards he was pretty cool, he also had his buddy in the car. It turns out he had a flowmaster catback, a chip, and a intake, oh it was also an auto. I was curious to what those run stock i heard it was a mid 14 or low 14. He took it to the local 1/8th mile track and ran a 9 and high 8s i believe.

I believe with his mods he should be running mid 13's. Autos in Camaros dont lose as much power as stangs with autos. Race him from a dig and I think he will take you every time.

no kidding. i'd have to really force it to let me go into first when i'm going over 15mph. not to mention i'd almost be redlining first at 30.
