"factory freaks"? Someone explain.
 
I have heard about these "factory freak" camaro's and i wish to know what they are and how they came to be. Anyone?

or do you mean like my car was rated at 325 fly wheel. and i put 313 to the ground stock.

that what you mean by a freak. not all cars built the same. motors act different

Damn, Scott Kallita must be one hell of a driver, he got a full second lower, two times!

I wouldn't have published it either.......maybe the timers at the track were messed up?

you mean a second faster?

i just dont understand how things fell into the parts bin. maybe an employee did this on purpose and was never caught?

Most of the time it's all in the driver and a good set of tire's.

a bone stock SS 6spd car and the average time we pulled was somewhere in the 13.38's. Scott Kallita (top fuel driver) got in the car and then ripped out a 12.27 and he backed it up with a 12.29!

^^I have to call :bs: I don't care if Jesus was driving.^^

A factory freak more times then not has nothing to be with different parts being used but rather tolerances and such that make a difference. They do exist.

He is a professional drag racer but a whole sec. does seem hard to do. Maybe they meant 12.72 & 12.92 now that is possible.

I would believe that but a whole second I cannot.

jsteele90 01-01-2009 07:41 PM

i dont see a bone stock ls1 running 12.2

Swift_01_z-28 01-01-2009 07:50 PM

you show me an ls1 that will run a 12.2 bone stock and I will show you a car touched by the hand of god. The 12.7 and 12.9 would make sense though.

Rob 01-01-2009 10:45 PM

Probably meant 13.27 and 13.29. That would make more sense being that it was a tenth faster with a better driver.

^^^^yeah i'm going to need to see a video of this. who attacked first the ninjas or the tiger? i think had he not wasted his time on the tiger, he could have pulled a better time.

Britt2020 01-02-2009 09:44 AM

OK! Maybe it was just a large orange cat. but the cat was really mad!

2001firehawk3 01-02-2009 11:43 AM

my 01 hawk put down 12.8's every time

wtomlinson 01-02-2009 11:56 AM

britt, i'm sure had the cat been closer to Steven Segal, chuck would have no existence in this world
