huh. how the heck did a car that "should" be making over 200rwhp more lose to a car that's only 1,000lbs lighter by that much? IMO it should have been a deal where the camaro ran him down hard as the mph increased. Instead it looked like the camaro never even hit the nitrous. ????

Shifts were way faster than normal in the 240, must've been Shane driving haha. Nice run though, sounded mean. Cold weather sucks for traction!

The cars are about 1000lbs apart, it was a pretty slow roll and cold as **** out, Camaro spins the holds it right where he was.

I had another video prove that weight vs power is a big battle. 200 extra HP vs 1000lbs lighter...



This is the same deal...close to the deal power and weight differences. I think Camaro would have been better to not hit the spray right away, maybe wait a gear.
