Default GT 500 vs STS LS1 Camaro

i ran a GT 500 last night from a 40 roll near Jacksboro Highway @ around 9:45pm.

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/c...8f00cf7c9f.htm

we did a 40 punch with the camera guy about 2.5 cars infront of us to get the fly by.

Camera guy was a 96 LT1 T/A

GT500 gets slight jump, but after we pass the camera guy, you can see my red camaro's tail lights catch it then walk away

i shut down by about 140 ish and i had like 4-6 cars on him. my friend made the video. i'm going to get him to ru again in the daylight WITH car sounds instead of music. but the camera was hanging out of the window of my buddies car, so you really couldnt hear anything

Hmmm. I woulda thought a stock mid 12 sec GT500 would have hung a little better with your car given your HP/TQ numbers. Good kill.

I was thinking that his turbo car should've pulled on him much harder.

Not when the GT500 weighs a good 600lbs more.

I was looking at his 465/470 in his sig. Weight difference is what? maybe 400lbs? Not throwing a BS flag or anything. Just thought the GT500 would stay close to 140mph given recent stock dyno figures.

Again, good kill to 99Z28LS1. You have a fast car.

my car got re-tuned, so im sure it makes a little more, but not much. i pulled nasty up top. in the vid, at first it looks like the GT500 pulled out front, but that was because i couldnt hear the honks and started off a little late.

i dont really drive it in the rain all the time. or at all really, unless i have too. but i know that if it rained the day before, i know not to get on it because it'll suck water up and start to burp

thanx for the comments. i'll try to get some day runs to see the real beauti of this car. it was AMAZING

Good kill friend.....I actually thought that the GT 500 would have put up a better fight. But you showed him the door! Way to go.
