Default LS1 Camaro vs 5th Gen Camaro, T/A, & Few Mustangs *VIDEO*

Couple runs from last weeks meet at the Oakland Raceway! Last two races in the video against the Mustangs were actually the first two. I lowered the tire pressure some bit & got some better traction.


Enjoy!

You show up , race , when the cops come leave with a bunch of other car's and try not to stand out too much ! 99% of the time I roll with a police scanner app on my phone with a really loud little speaker connected to it I bought at target for 20 bucks .Works surprisingly well ! Also try not to have the slowest car in the group , lol !

Haha day time actually better usually then night. Majority of the time I go out to that spot at night cops come. First time going during the day & we were there for a while. Plus its Oakland & cops got A LOT of better things to do then bother couple street racers.

Lol pretty much that & an e-cutout so your car sounds stock... Majority of the cops pull over the imports though!

It was good to meet you as well ! Figured it would only be so long considering the scene is pretty connected and everyone end's up at the same spots ! I was so bitter missing 3rd but **** happen's ! 2nd time I missed 3rd so far with the new MGW shifter but I am still happy with it !

Really?? I've yet to miss a gear with the MGW. I always thought I was going to since I wasn't use to how close it feels but haven't. Love that damn shifter

Yea, I admit I'm not the biggest fan of roll races. I like the idea of driver skill becoming a key factor.

And BayArea WS6 not to much buddy. Just graduated from college yesterday. Car is relatively the same. New clutch, tires, and tune. I'm slowly gonna replace suspension pieces and get the car set up for road racing, maybe even throw in longtubes. Nothing to insane lol.

cool video. what wheel/tire combo is on the car and where does your 4th gear end up? i was really expecting the h/c car to pull back, but it didn't look like that was gonna happen for a minute.
