Default SS Camaro vs SRT8 Challenger Maple Grove

I still have to get the video from my friend, but I have some photos. My friend's dad bought a new SRT8 Challenger 6 speed, and there happened to be a new SS 6-speed there at the same time. Obviously we needed some heads up races, so they did a best 2/3.

Photos:






















Shitty Photos of the race the SRT8 won:




Anyway, the SS won the first and third race, with the SRT8 having faster overall runs for the night(Best was a 13.03 for the SRT8) and I think the best was around a 13.5 for the Camaro.

If I get the video, I'll post it up.

I wish I could have made it to see Steve run, but I was at OCMD cruise weekend.
I have the honor to say I was the salesman that sold him the car. It was car number 86 built and the 1st car to be built of Pa. Steve and his dad are great guys. Spohn products are outstanding which I am sure most of you guys know. Anyway, here is the link to his blog for the car and vids of the runs.

Way to go Steve! I saw Steve's car at the dealer before the stripes were put on. I'm also a custormer of Steve's. The Torque Arm pictures w/ LT headers on his website are pictures of the underneath of my 02 red SS. Too bad I was away when this took place. I only live 10 minutes from Maple Grove.

Looks good Steve. I suggest buy all your suspension products from Spohn, Steve and his Pop will take good care of you.

I agree 100% I probably just forgive it in this case since it's a fair fight between these two, lol.

Nice Pictures, thanks for sharing.

I do agree the Camaro does look better, and apparently performs better too (mph)

I'm suprised the challenger was .5 faster being that it's heavier. Also it ran a 13.9 and a 13.0? Guess the the challenger needs the driver mod.
