Default Cammed trans am VS. CTS-V

Guy chased me down on the highway today to run me in his all black ctsv. We slowed down to 40 to tell back and forth, asked me if my car had any mods, said it was cammed. So he gave me the hit on the first race. The stall really helped, he stopped my pull around 90-100, and stayed. I shut it down around 120-125. I'm certain he woulda came around on me if we kept going. You can here my traction control kick in.


Second race he said I was quicker than he thought, gave me a thumbs up, and decided to count it off. On three I started pulling but he quickly blew by.

We slowed down, and we exchanged props. He told me to get off, but I got caught at a light so I couldn't chat. Definitely a cool guy, hope to catch him again sometime.

I had a passanger, he did not. Those are my favorite cars. I was proud to lose to one!

Lol wut? Obviously it was a CTS-V. Last time I checked they had the LSA.


Nice runs. Car sounds nice and healthy. Without the passenger it would have been an even better run. And turn your damn traction off haha!

Yea I was even thinking about it. But yea once I pull some weight, install the SSRA, and have no passanger, it'll be a little quicker. Guy seemed cool. I was full expecting to loose to a boosted car with more power, but I held on better than expected.

It sounded modded, can't really hear in the video, but his car sounded good. Guy was young, and instigated both races, so I assumed he would have done at least a few bolt ons.

Good kill and death. Looks like you got the first roll and lost the 2nd.
Thats a strong running car you got.

COOL, there is a black CTS-V here in my town that I race and he walks on me like that too. We once went from a red light and I thought I pulled him good but he ended up walking away on down the stretch.

He gave me the hit though, so it's not much of a win.

Holy huge jump!
Was that guy even in the right gear?
People really shouldn't buy fast cars if they don't know how to drive =[

That's what I thought, but I'm sure my stall helps.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if that car had at least a tune.

It makes more power than you for sure but its also heavier. Time for you to do more mods.
