Awesome vid! Cool being able to race your brother like that. My brother's both have slow cars compared to my Cobra but my younger brother does have a faster bike than I have.

Nice runs! Looks like some close races between two brothers with the same cars! Just like my brother and I with are two 02 Z28s that run almost identical.

Looks like bro's 01 started to pull at higher speeds. Get yourself an LS6 manifold and even that out.

I know! LOL, I told him that I thought thats why his pulls harder uptop, and his cats are gutted... I pull on him from digs at the beginning cause his BMR lowering springs ruin his launches, haha! After my LS6 intake manifold, SLP smooth bellows, and dyno tune, he won't be able to reel me in from a dig anymore...

I know, that freakin road kicks ***! 3-4 miles of straight road in the middle of nowhere thats fenced off on both sides, its like an airport strip, LOL
And I'll be doing the head and cam swap first, he blew all his money by gettin ripped at the dealership! I paid $12,500 for my 2000 WS.6 w/ 75,000miles. He paid almost $17,000 for his 2001 76,000 miles. He was so competitive about making sure he got a trans am before I did that when he found out I was gonna pick up my WS.6 he immediately went out and bought the first Trans Am he could get no matter what the cost...He could have bought a 2003 Z06, lol. There was a few around here with decent mileage for between $19,000 and $22,000, but he had to beat me...

Yeah, it gets a bit intense doing a buck fifteen on that road or else we would probably pull to 125+ what ever the top of 4th is, I've never gone that fast

Both my brothers have pretty quick cars.

My twin brother has given me every excuse in the book why he will not race me. I have tried everything from telling him I will run street tires to running him off the bottle but he hasn't taken the bait.

My younger brother is going to run me at the track next year. From what he is telling me, if I don't spray it should be damn close. Can't wait!!! Should be fun times.
