Default 02 Z28 vs 14 or 15 STI video and episode!

Check this out guys (not mine though): Its a youtube of a couple of guys putting together a top gearish car show and they are buying a ls1 camaro as stock as possible and modding it to compete with the new STI as well as modding the STI to come back and so forth. Pretty good potential for a web show.

There is something seriously wrong if it's only trapping 96 mph.

Some points of the video were pretty brutal to watch but I'm at work with nothing better to do so I sat through the whole thing.

Camero best et: 13.2........best mph: 106
STI best et: 13.1...............best mph: 102

Nothing "**** poor" about going 13.2@106 in a 6spd and it being your first time at the track. What was the DA anyway? I might of missed it in the video.

They never mentioned DA but said their track is a couple hundred feet above sea level.

I don't know how serious they intend to get with this show, but.
Better audio and less bs would be nice. There's like 30mins of them driving and just talking about nothing really. A "custom" shop without a dyno. There doing it big, that's for sure!

Try not to be too harsh. At least it isn't a show about a bunch of drama queens with race cars claiming to be street outlaws. Any substance is better than that dumb ****.

Agreed Codyvette. Tough to sit through but in a nutshell it's two friends working on cars and having fun. Just like most of us but they decided to film it and have fun with it. Again, tough to sit through at some points but hopefully gets better for them as the mods happen.

With you there. Made it halfway through one episode of that dumb **** and never watched it again. Awful.
