The t/a is very strong for just bolt on for sure but all that hp is is hard in a dig race on street with out a big radial

I would say he is hiding something or has a crazy race weight.

Those two didn't seem to be moving very fast at all... like a staged moment rather than a real race.

That was me in the Z28! I was pretty surprised when I lurched out in front of the Z06, my lead didn't last long though.

Should have gotten a video of my race against the CTS-V, I was ahead of him all the way up to the top of 2nd gear.

I had heard the GT500 in that race against the T/A had missed 2nd gear and was spinning bad, not 100% sure because I wasn't at this race, but it's what the driver has been saying.

Naa GT500s are just slow lol, sounded like the T/A was auto, so from a dig i would expect the T/A to jump out a little, and im sure the Gt500 is still on the factory goodyears, does anyone know if the t/a is stalled?

In the beginning of the video you can hear that the T/A is stalled. I've also spoken with people who were at this race and confirmed the T/A is full bolt on's, including gears, full exhaust, intake, etc and a stall.

Full bolt on's and stall the T/A is still outmatched by over 200HP, it's still embarrassing to that GT500 to be behind a 15 year old LS1 and trying to catch up.

Im with you 100%, the guy with gt500 should probably invest in a good tire, and maybe learn to do digs.

I'm the owner of the TA It's not a "full bolt on". The GT500 needs the driver mod for sure. I would be pissed

ok, you have a cam in there? Because if aint the case, the GT500 driver is a total fail, but from a dig, a stalled fbody can take a huge lead.
