Default My DD camaro ss vs roommates 02 TA

Nothing spectacular, just a track vid of my new car and my roommates 02 TA.

My specs......00 camaro SS, A4, whisper lid, cutout, nx 75 shot, dayton street tires.

His specs.....02 TA, A4, 3.73 gears, slp lid, cutout, hypertech, bmr rear suspension components, strut tower brace, nx 100 shot, et streets

I know what everyone is thinking, as I was thinking it too, but the results are kinda confusing........only thing I figure is simply because I got a much better light than him.

Hell, yeah. For some reason we have some slow *** fbodies here. That's why I like racing my truck more. Nice being well over a second faster in a truck.

Yep, I really enjoy going to Hub, but I'm with you on the numbers. My SS is slower than 99.9% of the stock cars on this site. It went like 13.8 on the crappy dayton tires with a cutout and a lid, then a 12.7 on a 75 shot.

As far as the TA, I have no idea why it isn't running a ton better. With said mods, it should be running really good numbers, but a 13 flat? Oh, well, the camaro is my commuter, but since the truck went down, I had to do something to get "my" car into the 12s.

13.8 down to 12.7 is good results for a 75 shot.

You need some stall.!! to really see some results.Then you will need slicks,driveshaft loop,suspension work,rear endand a money making press in your house!!jk

Try a convertor and some slicks!

I just put a fuddle 3600 in the truck. If the next tranny gives me a moments trouble, I'm going to part out the truck and throw the 6.0L setup and fuddle converter into the car.

my cars pretty slow at the track, and my track is decent for conditions. Powershifting didnt help, my 60s dont reflect my et with my mph if that makes sense.

I ran a 12.9 @ 108 with only a lid and exhaust. No offense or anything but thoese are some horribe times for the mods. Are you sure you guys have your bottles on? Do you have a bottle heater? Even if the ET isn't show you should at least have a little better mph......

What's the 60' without the nitrous on that 13.8 run? Dayton tires are pretty good, I managed a 2.01 60' with them before I got the stall.

Wow... I run 12.9@110 with lid and catback. Either you forgot to turn your bottles on or something's wrong with your cars...

You guys that are running better times must not understand location. With a lid a catback you probably wouldnt get out of mid to high 13's in Vegas. Most stock F-bodies here run 13.98-13.99 to 14.10's right around a 100-102 mph.

Its just funny to see pople saying there's something wrong with your car when they're probably a couple thousand feet lower in elevation with better air. Ask the Denver guys how quick they run. There must be something wrong with their 15 second stock F-bodies as well.
