Nasty TA. That GT500 looked like he might had started regaining a bit up top.
Good run, man.

Probably so, he usually gets about a car on me from a 50-130 roll.

That's a "4 bolt on" car though...might even be faster than his.

Wrong. Can't watch the vid but I imagine the stalled car got out and the gt500 had to play catch up.

Good runs sounds about right against a good running h/c car.

When he was on a 2.59 pulley I put a fender on him with that set up, then bam pulley swap and hes ahead of me.
Hes a good friend of mine so we go back and forth a lot, when my car was bolt ons and a 2800 stall I put a car on his newer 5.0 and thats how we originally met lol

Nice job Those GT500s are turds. Looks like when I ran them in the past with the Camaro.... From a dig would have been even worse.

Nice kill! Was your car on big and littles? If not i can only imagine that and some weight reduction would help your favor. What type of weight reduction do you have done? If you don't want to share feel free to PM me.

Yup such a turd but yet you are afraid to run one with 3 boltons from a roll

Why don't you say lightly modded? Every time I see the 3 bolt on thing from you it seems like a built in excuse. Your modded or you not. Stating how many mods in every post is a little
