I know there is a ton of wind noise but neither of us could here each other honk with the windows up!My friend's gf recorded with my gopro.Not bad for her first time using it and filming a race!

Ls1,car is kinda new to him but he had a ls1 z28 before with less mod's and he is not a bad driver either!He said he started in 3rd(4.10s) and I started in 2nd (3.73s)but had to shift almost immediately anyways so it's not much of a difference after the initial jump!I'm sure I'll see a better race out of him soon enough.My car has pretty descent top end,seems to run harder on the freeway or maybe I'm just talking crazy!

Good example of how 4.10's can hurt a car from a roll. You guys should have been even with him haveing a slight edge. Do a dig and see what happens.

with 4.10's i myself cant be more then 60mph on the highway so i can have a decent amount of time in 3rd gear. Anything higher in speed i have to shift immediatly. So maybe start off at about 50-55mph in 3rd gear for the Z28 and it should be closer but you would still pull him in the top end, looks like your car responded better and has better top end hp to the cam.

I did have to shift almost immediately into 3rd myself after the initial jump.I would have dropped to lower speeds but it isn't the safer thing to do in that spot and angry people were already honking at us earlier for holding up traffic!Not trying to get reported by an angry prius owner!

Thanks!Things might be different from a dig when we get better tires and a rear end to handle it!
