Almost took out a 99+GT with a slightly modded v6, (VID)

Jsut a warning sometimes when you click my vids **** comes up(crappy free video host) So NWS*


SO I was at the track I bogged the launch bad and just had a crappy run only ran a 14.9

mods...
-FRA
-shaved stock lid
-cutout
-lsd
-home depot smooth bellows
-removed jack and spare

and the belt was on for this run, I ran a 14.7 earlier in the night with the belt on.

Either way raced a 99+ GT with at least exhaust close race, he is faster, but I lighted him and almost edged him out by the end.

he won by 2/10ths but it was a 14.9 vs a 14.3.

Absolutely incredible. I am sending this to all my buddies. V6 bags GT in 1/8 and loses by a hair in the 1/4. I love it.

Kills me is I bogged the launch and ran a 14.9...

I ran a 14.7 earlier, exact same setup... Ran 2 beltless runs before this and ran 14.6s, I would have had him on any of those runs..


-sorry for the rant, I just love would have had another "generation" of GTs I could say I beat in a clean race.

No one is claiming that all GTs are slower then v6s... this guy had a clean run... might have been an auto or something but here is the run...

R/T .131 .427
60' 2.175 2.252
330 6.226 6.231
1/8 9.589 9.446
mph 73.09 78.67
1000 12.479 12.153
1/4 14.911 14.393
mph 92.73 101.15

Right 1st .2221

he didn't do an obvious blow off the line with like a 2.5 60' his r/t wasn't great. I bogged down on my launch, you can hear it in the car.

Whatever the circumstances he got a clean run, and it was damn close at the finish


PS my best run of the night with the drivebelt on...

R/T .193
60' 2.127
330 6.105
1/8 9.449
mph 73.47
1000 12.326
1/4 14.752
mph 92.94

Best run of the night with drivebelt off...

R/T .122
60' 2.134
330 6.097
1/8 9.418
mph 74.15
1000 12.263
1/4 14.656
mph 94.26

Yea, I didnt pay attention to the 1/4 times, kinda below average. Still props to making it so close with a V6. Nicely done.

There was a guy with a newer V6 Camaro (N/A) that was running around 13.8 lastweek at the local dragstrip. This was in South Jersey.

That was little G,(craig) he has 4.10s, suspension, tune and weight reduction I think his raceweight is like 3,000 flat, as in raceweight with him in the car.

The main reason it was close was the reaction time. He ran a 14.3 to your 14.9. Those times are not close at all. .6's is an eternity and 9mph is a huge difference in performance!!
