z28 camaro vs my FD
 

I was driving in pasadena the other night and a silver 2000ish camaro z28 w/ zo6 wheels comes next to me and does the 3 honk go. His car was really loud, maybe cams, I dont know. We raced to 160 and I put about 4-5 cars on him easy. I was shocked at how I pulled considering im still on my original motor/twins @13psi. We also did a 40mph 2nd gear run and I even pulled away in 2nd gear.

If im not mistaken those z28 have ls1's? I was expected a tighter race.

Im at about ~325whp mods in my sig:icon_tup:

if it had the Chrysler looking headlights (not the recessed ones) it had an LS1

if im not mistaken, i read in the west section about a race that sounds similar to yours...

i believe 1998 is when they started putting the LS1's in there. before that was the LT1. maybe it was the LT1?

either way good kill.

I raced a similar Camaro a little while ago too, hella loud, I know it wasn't stock. I noticed that he started pulling away pretty fast, but at higher speeds, I started catching up, but I didnt wanna go too fast so he won :(

found out its an ls1 with cams, headers, exhaust, built auto etc 390whp. Im surprised I won

i'm not, 390hp in one of those tanks, i'm surpised he tried a second time.

if you read the thread that Jessie linked you will see that the passenger weighed 360 lbs and that driver weighs 240 lbs... Thats a lot of extra weight on an already heavy car!

^^ what he said. i rarely struggle taking them with my 250hp 2nd gen :>

360 lb passenger (? wow) and a 240 lb driver + 3400 lb car..4000 lbs!! you raced some biguns.

Eddie....as a 240 pound driver you can kiss my fat ass! ;)

LOL...seriously though...at 4000+ lbs, with 390 at the wheel it could do a 13 sec 1/4 mile. probably no get up and go at speed though.

Serious question...was the 360lber a woman? Pics?

lol

Must be a smaller cam or something. Those motors (even in the heavy ass camaro) are bolt on 400+hp/tq motors. Even then the FD is making great numbers and sounds like a blast, lol. seems like the right car won tho
