sometimes....Only time I see nice fast rides is in my other cars..LOL..Finding a new SS camaro while in the Viper was a blessing!!!

In all fairness its a 426 HP car vs a 505 HP car stock for stock. Ive got mods and asume he was stock. But in the Big picture its not a 600HP car against a 300 HP car or anything like that.

Some one explain the L99 and all to me. I thought the SS camaro had the LS3 but was slightly under rated at 426 HP instead of the vettes 436 HP

YA most of the time I never find that many good races in my bolt on ls1 .. But not sure on the new ss I think if its manual it has 426 to the crank, and auto has 400 to the crank...but there very heavy...so idk...if I saw you on the street I would run u...even though I know I would lose.

I followed him around for several miles and gave him revs ect. Two guys in the car and I could see the passenger egging on the driver like an EA anoucment to get into the game.

Finally after lots of revs and egging on while I was 2 cars behind the Fit in the center lane with him in the right lane he hit it!

I heard his car rev high, but didnt really go anywhere. He was about 3 carlengths ahead when my stopwatch hit 2 min from when he hit it. I imediately stopped his pull, rubbed myself, and moaned as I blew his doors off. He had no chance against my awesomeness!

For a car that not even in the same class as mine and had no chance in hell against me, I was a bit underimpressed.
People on this site are impossible. I mean, really.
In one thread you have guys bitching about why didn't the guy in the Ferrari run my mid-90s LT1, and in this thread you have people pissing & moaning about "Why would you run your viper against a LS3/L99 Camaro?" They're not in the same class, waaa.

They're V8 performance engines, driven by car-enthusiasts. Chances are, if they'll run you, they might have some modifications. There are Viper, Corvette, Lamborghini owners that won't give an f-body (or in this case 5th-Gen) a second look, and you go on to mock the guy that actually shows respect & compliments one of our cars? Unbelievable.
For someone that doesn't contribute a damn thing or bring any added worth to this site to go out and try to make fun of someone who actually does bring something to the table on a regular bases--(Sorry killemall, I get a crack out of listening to your goofy accent in the videos you post , and the occasional kill story or two)--is just ridiculous.


To the OP,
Thanks for the story. Not much of a surprise, but I still did get an "Lol" out of the "EA Sports announcer" line, and a good change of pace from the usual "Another Mustang" thread. I'd have ran him too; there are 2 local 5th-Gens here that are pushing 500+.
Hey, at least he ran you and you both exchanged thumbs-ups.

Are you serious? Every time he posts, he carries his "Holier than thou" attitude with him. Like the "relatively inexpensive" comment...completely unnecessary, if he wanted to race the car, who gives a **** what the retail of the car is compared to his "exotic". He was quoted in another thread basically saying he sold his vette and bought an NSX for no other reason than the fact that more people noticed the NSX. I know he catches a lot of flack around here but he walks into the **** himself.

Believe me, I'm not rushing to be Killemall's defense attorney. My point was more that there was no need to derail the thread, just because it's Killemall that's posting.
I've been on this site for a bit and I've read most of his threads. In this thread though, he wasn't doing the whole "Eat my ****, you're inferior to me" thing.

As far as the "relatively inexpensive car" comment, well, go back & take a look at what he said. The reality is that the Camaro really isn't an expensive car. It's not Kia-cheap, nor is it 7-Series-Expensive. I mean, the dude actually complimented GM & the Camaro, saying how great the car looked, comparing it to a Lamborghini--which, is an expensive car.
He didn't flip the Camaro the bird afterward They both exchanged thumbs-ups.

And the last thing about the trading the 'Vette for a NSX... I don't know. I personally wouldn't do that because I love C5s/C6s as a total package, but I've only seen 2 NSXs in person, and I can't tell you how many C5s. If he wants to be different, hey I'm not gonna shoot the guy.




Sparknotes: Yeah, he comes off as a pompous *** sometimes. But there isn't any malice behind Killemall. Just a Hawaiian Johny Bravo who loves all fast cars, and isn't too good at being PC. Know this going into the thread so as to keep things from getting derailed & annoying.

He's not Hawaiian. He's from Virginia. Just saying. Good kill.

I agree with above statement. I figured Killemall would hate the Camaro and call its styling bland like the GTO's

Wow...Im going hunting again in a few days. Hopefully I can run another SS. Thats the thing I love about fbodies. You just dont know what your up against till its said and done. That GTO that revved on me. despite the hideous Captain Kangeroo exterior. Sounded much more monsterous than any car I had heard in quite a while. Wondering if perhaps head and cam or larger CI?

SScamaro in red was

s2k's look like a$$. Disgusting GTO territory

Huge sobrarro style convertable top with a itty bitty rear. The desighn from the front is its saving grace but overall pretty nasty

The 370Z on the other hand I fing Beautiful and thats the exterior that should have the GTR awd and engine. They'd still be selling well if that were the case. Instead you get a chainsaw mascacered Evo that gained 600 pounds of ugly

370Z is sweeeeeet

Oh noooesssss you don't like the same kind of cars as me.

Fact is - you suck, your car sucks, your grammar sucks

Oh and Vipers have Huge Sobrarro (I'll guess you were looking for sombrero?) style top with a HUGE *** UGLY rear. The design from the front is its saving grace but overall pretty FN AWFUL LOOKING.

So what?
