Default Explain this video

I know the driver of the mustang and he says this is not the first Ls1 he has done this to. Also the SRT4 is a stage 3 with toys. Either way I dont agree with the results and hope seriously the LS1 driver had a stroke and his right arm went numb. That would be the only excuse for the results.

Nice Camero.

The one shift we saw was pathetic. Maybe that's an indicator of overall
driver ability and the reason for the *** whoopin'? Or maybe it was
just that the other cars had more mods.

seriously,no mods were listed, I think its quite possible the stang had mods and the camero( ) was stock. It could happen.

The mods of the mustang are limited. I know he has catback exhaust and maybe CAI. I agree, had to be driver error with the camaro driver.

With an *** whooping like that and the quietness, it must be stock and he cant drive = high 14 sec car.

That looks about right Camaro vs a Stage 3 SRT4, the Mustang I dont know about. Maybe the Camaro is just beat to hell and is a dog plus the guy cant drive for ****, who knows.

Beaumont has a Street Scene? My, how things have changed. The Camaro had to be bone stock, clapped out and in need of a driver mod.

That video didn't even look like it was in real time - stuck in slo-mo. Looked like to me no one was actually racing. Looked like normal highway speeds.

"CamEro"...isn't that that the V6 version of the LS1 Camaro? Must be unless that driver was blind in one eye, had one leg and an arthretic right elbow...

The only real explanation is modded stang and skittle vs. stock camaro with no driver mods.

Wow, who knew Beaumont had a street scene... The home of slow LS1s? I think that was a twilight zone video. I did enjoy the emphasis scene on the guy shifting like grandma on a sunday drive.

Was at HRP last weekend and saw a SRT4 go 121mph in the 1/4. They can be made to put down great numbers, but their ETs blow.
