Your video is WAYYY to short: the end of video promo's that youtube puts in covered up the last couple seconds.

How come you didnt walk him? You should have easily pulled away. ?

Hard to tell much from the length of the race. It looked like the 5.0 pulled until he shifted, but what would have happened in the next gear? Surely the CTS-V would've eventually taken it on the top end, but the 5.0 seemed to be pulling down low.

Agreed. Go back and get a longer video because he let off as soon as he shifted.

Get a longer video next time, 10 seconds clips dont really ever show anything. Unless you yanked the other car right from the start.

Its just that in the video, all we see is the 5.0 pulls you down low then shifts and has to hit the brakes just like that. We didnt get to see if you wouldve began pulling hard or slowly on him? Ya know.

Vids are better then nothing but short ones like this dont really give us an idea of how the run wouldve turned out. It doesnt help that he had to hit the brakes right after his shift either.

I take this back. Just came back from the track (no times, my posi went out/broke). There was a lady in a new auto 5.0 that was CAI/Tune/ET Streets and running consistent 12.3's @ 114mph?. There was 4 supercharged, drag radial, gutted interior pre-2011 GT's there and they were all sweating bullets that a near stock 5.0 would walk them. She beat 2 of the 4. Ouch. The fastest S/C stang only bested her times with a 11.6 @ 119mph: his car had "650hp" badges on it, gutted, ET Streets, built rear with 4.11 gears, weighing a claimed 3340 w/driver. Needless to say he was very relieved when she didnt hit the 11's. Though two weeks earlier she also did a 12.35 with a DA of 800', she couldnt go faster today.

Mineshaft air. according to Drag Times the DA was:
Density Altitude: -963 feet
Relative Density: 102.85 %
.)

There's a 5.0 that turned the quarter in the high 8's at 150mph. I saw the video here somewhere.
