Thumbs up ZR1 vs 408

i raced a ZR1 today he had just added a short throw shifter and brand new drag radials he is pullied and tuned runs race gas as well makes 6xx rwhp

my 408 is un tuned (cam only tune) 6k limiter

i didnt call him out he asked if anyone wanted to run and i was the only one willing he made about 5-6 hits before we raced so he could get used to launching the car
i didnt have a 28" tires anymore so my friend let me put his 275/60's on kept stock front 17" ws6 wheels 91 oct gas (full tank)

long story short he got me by 1.5 cars he has alot of top end but i think with a re tune and gears i will get him by 2-3 cars we'll see soon

ill try to get the video up soon its just of the finish line tho

ps:ZR1 doesn't stand a chance when i hook up the nitrous

VIDEO page 2

Why would you even consider running your car untuned? You must love rebuilding engines or something..

try posting the video smok'nz. putting up pictures when you said you have a video. ??

I and the rest of the guys are gonna throw some BS flags out on you staying that close to that ZR1, we just want to see the video to know what really happened. With you on a 150 shot, THAT should be a good race with him in the low 600rwhp range. though on race gas with mods you mentioned he should be mid to high 600rwhp range.

easiest way to pst vids man is to just put it up on youtube, then post the youtube link in the thread. It's how I do all mine and it's dummy proof wich is good for me lol.

Lets say you have a strong 408 at 520 rwhp. He still is probably has 100rwhp and is lighter that you. Unless you have massive weight reduction your not going to keep up with a zr1 that puts down over 600. Unless he can't drive for ****.

I seen a blue zr1 driving down the highway past me the other day. I wanted to race it so bad and spray my 150 shot on him to see if I could keep up a tiny bit lol.
