I dont think mine runs better but he has big power mods compared to me, I ran a vr4 with the same mods and he was on race gas I was on 91 and I beat him on the freeway by 2 cars pulling slowly. It just seems weird this camaro in this video has a bigger turbo than me, heads, cam, and weight reduction and at certain points didnt even look that fast racing the stealth, maybe the camaro is still in the tuning stages

I didnt think the Stealth has ever been on full race gas alone. Maybe a couple gallons with a tank.

The Camaro is still pulling it pretty handily, lol. Its not like theyre covering a 3 miles race to decide the winner. The Camaro gets right off the hit against an 11-sec car.

A Camaro that runs in the 10's right out of the box isnt something I would call a pile. But thats me..

saw it on another forum and they said neither car had a horn so they couldn't honk off a good run. The stealth guy said that the camaro owner was going as he ( the stealth) started brake boosting because he thought he was on the gas for the run.....

Thats kinda true, cool video, but they never really lined up. The stealth doesn't weigh that much, and I doubt the camaro with the turbo weighs 2800-3000lbs unless it was a drag-only car, so I'll call bs. Still very cool lookin car.

Clearly you don't know much about Stealth's. Those things are tanks.

I'm kind of shocked. I expected the Camaro to smoke the Stealth pretty bad from a roll. Clearly the Camaro won but I just expected it to be more. An 11 second AWD car isn't going to hang with an 11 RWD car from a roll.

Yea Stealths are heavy cars, same as 3000GTs, why do you call bs on the Camaro, there was alot of weight reduction that I noticed. But great vid

Why would you think a 3,793lbs car with two people in it running BIG16g (not a big turbo) AWD car would do better against an turboed LS1 with weight reduction from a roll?

Sorry but I expected the LS1 to put 10+ busses on the Stealth.

Well, the stealth is supposedly a "racer" that runs on something other than "camel ****". I know my TA, even only 7# when it ran would pull busses on other rice, but that's here...

it has twin turbos, plus i don't think a th400 with a big stall is much of a roll race setup.

The stealth was running 20psi on pump gas, two different animals regardless., The Stealth is a 3800lb+ GT car. The camaro is a stipped out go fast car, my money is on the Camaro even if the boost was turned up on the Stealth.

I agree there, but either is a heavy AWD car. Both cars would have run harder from a stop.
