Default Me(02 ss) vs 98-02 ss

Well I just lost from like a 60+ roll to another camaro ss,pewter color..we where driving on the free way in ca, going towards breA..and me and my wife saw another camaro ss so I pulled next to him doing 60+ mph..he gets the hit on me big time I punch it once I see his front fender lift he pulled about a car and a half for the win it stung real bad lol...my mods tune by frost,lts,ory,373s cut out/open at the time of the race..
Just curious did the 373 gears hurt me on that high of a roll..

373s didnt kill you. Do you have any idea what he had. If he had similar mods but had heads or head cam combo that would explain. I agree about loosing to a similar car. It would hurt more to something else. Upgrade and go looking for him again

If you have 3.73s your car should shift around 67mph to 3rd gear that means your car probably wouldnt have down shifted to 2nd when u nailed it instead it would have went to the bottom of third. If he had stock gears (3.23's) he would have been in a pretty good power spot at 60 so that may have been the reason he pulled you...

Would be my guess. My A4 3:23 car loved a 60mph roll.

Yup my car with 3.42's pulls HARD from a 60-65. My buddies car with 3.73's wasnt so hot from there he needed more like a 55ish speed
