Default LSA Blower Camaro SS vs 640rwhp Supercharged 5.0 (1/2 mile drag race)

Went to Shift S3ctor last weekend. Had some good races.
Car is tuned by Ryne at Cunningham Motorsports. I daily drive this car everywhere and every day to work. Drove it 250 miles to the airstrip, ran it hard, and drove it 250 miles home.

Camaro:
680rwhp
LSA Blower, cam, pulley, E85, bolt ons etc

Mustang:
640rwhp
Supercharged 5.0, bolt ons (don't know all his mods)

Both manual transmission, both on a drag radial.

Put a bus or two on the guy.

Awesome ride. I won't go to Ryne anymore after the huge issues he caused to a friends car. Cost him 2 transmissions

The 5.0 trapped 156

My car had traction issues and a difficult time going into 5th but my car was trapping between 158-162.
It should have a 165 in it if I can get full use out of 1st and don't have to short shift 4th.

Here's another run against a 650rwhp Hellcat on a tire.
Had to short shift 4th again (need to change my trans fluid.)
(I could have raised a calf into a cow, killed it, made it into a hamburger patty, grilled it, eaten it, and **** it out in between the 4->5 shift... I know.)

That's an odd way that you grip the wheel...that would feel weird, seems like...esp. at high speed.
Effortless power steering I guess, looks like you're searching for a parking spot, lol

Lol! I was waiting for someone to point that out. I kept my hand there until around 130mph. Then when I put the car into 5th I'd grip with both hands because I knew I wasn't going to have to shift again before the traps.
