Solid runs, thats GT500 runs real hard. It was pretty incredible to see what the "driver mod" did for the 5th gen.

Lol the driver mod was just putting the autostick in the gear he should be in from the start and bumping it back to drive, leaving it in drive proved not to work as you can see in the first two runs. He sold his race car a while back, the Camaro is just his dad's car he brought out to have fun in!

Yeah I was gonna say. Once he found a decent gear to start in, it was more even.
Good vid as always man. Also good call on letting out for the dumbass in the shoulder... nicely done.

Made a hell of a diff! I don't if I'd take my old mans car out and do 180 pulls with a blower, stuff melts lol.

All good runs!

Time for different gears in the TA?

Goes to show, dyne numbers don't mean everything. Too many variables as we all know.

It's been time for gears since before I bought the car! I have an 8.8 I need to beef up that has 3.73s in it, that rear end can't get in my car soon enough, wouldn't be so bad if I had some tire... But I don't! 50 mph 1st gear rolls would be deadly.

Poor Cobro. TA runs strong and would have pulled more if the gears kept you in your powerband.

Almost proper Cam-Only!!

Lol, I bought the car as is, not a choice! I barely touched 4th against the Cobras, wish I stretched 4th against both cars, I was just starting to reel in the red one but dum dum in the black one ruined that.

I tried running the red one from my roll the following meet after this video... I still got pulled even with a much lighter passenger. Was kind of upset until I realized he jetted up... ******! 175 shot to hang with my half *** build T/A, I'll take it.

great runs and vid as usual. Nice to see a good running bolt on older gt500. Race with the fifth gen was awesome. Would like to see that again with a good driver in a stick car and some gear in the fifth gen (obviously that wont happen). Longest race i ever did was 30-175mph and that was in my old gto when it made 350 whp lmao. THAT was a long race.
