Street Racing & Kill Stories - ::vid:: Turbo Regal vs Cam'd + bolt-on T/A ::vid::

Saw this over on clubgp figured i'd post it here since it does involve a LS1 TA. Hopefully it's not a repost, not trying to start anything i just thought it was a good race between 2 completely different cars :) .

Here's the thread incase you wanna read about the car's

Cool vid! It's amazing the difference that the 4 people in the Buick made!

Nice runs! fast grocery getter.

Nice runs!

00' Formula A4, 3.23's, lid, catback, pacesetter's coming on soon!

wow that cam sounds nice at wot, good find :)
+1 on that

Nice vid...


I would have loved to have seen the expression on the truck driver's face in the middle lane that got passed by both cars at 100+ mph WOT... If he was sleepy, these guys woke his ass up!

The TA should race him in the day. Those pop head lights being down would free up 100 hp. Or so a guy in a Honda told me.

... Damned air brakes I tell you.

That's funny, man!!!
That sounds like something a guy in a Honda would say. I bet ya he told you to put stickers on your car also. That is usually good for another 20Hp! :jest:

If I see one more ricer race vid (60-???).... can they at least do some from 1st gear, anywhere? God Forbid it's from a dead stop, I mean that would take some driver skill...

^ Kind of hard to do on the streets sometimes...

great race guys, def close. got to love those regals!!!

that TA sounded great, what kind of cam did he have

Ahhh, the turbo 3800. Music to my ears, although I'm bias :) :drive:

Screw that,

just come to a full stop on the freeway and tell those bastards using the freeway that there is a race underway...

^ You have a point, and you have opened up my eyes...

Too long have I been a wuss, scared to slam on the brakes, stage, and yank my front wheels up in defiance of those behind me on the freeway... It's a new era for streetracing and some of us have to be pioneers. :)

The turbo regal is a great car.. Soon as I fix my valve seal problem. Hopefully I'll get some f-body revenge on him.. The TA has a 23? 23? cam with around 370~RWHP. The Regal is somewhere over 400RWHP

thats funny....
the buicks are not the worlds best at roll racing due to major turbo lag.if this wouldve been from a stop id say the bird wouldve been blown away.if both cars hooked.the nationals and gnx,s are the easyiest car to modify 12s are acheivable with only a fuel pump boost controller and stickies.but they have the aerodynamics of a cinder block.
cant lower myself to drive a granny car even if it will smoke mine
