Default LS1 camaro on Pinks!

Did anyone catch teh episode of Pinks! where a guy raced his ls1 Camaro against his brother in an old firebird?

His camaro was geared so exactly that it crossed the 1320 mark right at redline. I jsut thought that was pretty cool, and wanted some more specs on the car.

Thanks

Default Specs

I just saw that episode last night where he ended up beating the firebird with 5 3/4 car lengths. I believe he had a tuned 426 C.I. LS1 block with upgraded rear, 6 speed. Not sure about anything else but I'll research it. Very cool race though.

That would be Tosto Racing and his brother. Try searching for Tosto in the forums.

Thanks a ton Joe. However, when I first saw the specs of the 2 cars racing I was like WTF kind of matchup is this? A 357 c.i. firebird vs. a 426 c.i. ls1 shortblock?!? WTF?! Anyhow Joe I see you work for T56, my name is Nick Coffron and Denise told me you got my tranny today! I know you guys will do it good

It was a pretty sweet episode. I scared the crap outta my GF when I yelled "BADASS!" as the Camaro won by a fender.

Thanks for the link Joe.

That was an awesome episode of pinks. I think its the first episode I have seen where at least one guy wasnt backing off the throttle to make his car seem slower than it is. Those guys went ***** out everytime.

Thanks for posting the video, BirdofPreyBandit. I've been wanting to see it. I was going to watch it last Wednesday, but there was something else I ended up having to do instead.
