LOL he rapes a camaro...oh I mean camero and then barely wins against an SRT 4? 
and then I timed his track run using the clock on the video, he starts out at 03:05 and crosses the line at 03:20, so that is 15 seconds - 14 at best est.

That didn't look like a camAro to me....
That Spohn radiator cap must add like 20hp at LEAST. Why bother putting that in the list?
that 12.47...then 8 they flashed made no sense.... maybe it was the time?

wow. since when did a radiator cap become a performance mod.
Guys, are are all missing out. I, for one, and going to buy a billet radiator cap right now. I swear, it'll save weight!!! Like, .05oz. that's like, 2 seconds in the quarter and frees up 20hp to the WHEELS!
The ricers have been right all along!

I crown thee king of all that is rice... you would think a 64 yr old guy would A) Find something better to do than race a bunch of kids and B) Realize that those things are slow and C) Realize with all the money he spent on that piece of crap he could have had something REALLY quick. Oh well ...

its cool hows he's older and doing that, yeah the choice of car sucks *** but think about it i bet most of us still want to be smokin tires when we are in our sixties. thats even if he is in his sixties never showed him i think it could have just been some dumb *** playing around. But all in all it was some guy having fun with his car, we all know and I think he knows too what cars to stay away from

i figured yall would enjoy that video. i was laughing my butt of the entire time i was watching it. the camero was actually a camaro i dont know if it was a v8 or not you can look at the side of the car at the head lights right when he passes the camera and you can tell its a third gen camaro. my favorite part was the sweet graphics. he paid 26K for the car new motor was probably at least 5K. easliy over thirty grand and still runs low 15s high 14s. hahahah. shoulda paid less than 15k for a 98-00 f body. and ran thirteens stock

Did anyone see the part towards the end where hes racing a late 80s early 90s greay mid-size toyota pickup. It looked like the toyota was pulling about a bus on it out of the box. Im not shure if it was a handicap or what. It looked like the truck could have taken it without the handicap if thats what it was.
<edit> ok I just watched the video again and its deff not a handicap. They take off at the same time and the trucks deffinitaley spanking that thing. If I was gonna make a video about how fast and cool my car was id leave out the clip of me getting handed by a old toyota pickup. It starts at 4:28 of the vido u gotta watch it.

I just think its all made up...who in their right mind would swap out a 200hp motor for a 220hp motor? on a k series engine..he could have flashed the ecu to rev it to 9k, then put on a header, full exhaust and a cai and have more than 220hp. it just makes no sense..for that amount of cash...he could have turboed that car and built the bottom end to hand some serious boost and have around 400ish whp. also...a n/a full interior rsx isn't running in the 12s without juice or FI. I think its all BS considering you never see the guy or anything. one more thing...3rd gen camaros with v8s run low 15s about. that rsx with the mods he has should be in the mid 15s with a GREAT driver...srt llow to mid 14s witha good driver....so that is why he beat the 3rd gen and kept up with the srt.
