I definitely believe it, I have a similar setup as the 02 camaro in question, and 40 mph is the very bottom of second gear. If he wasn't already in second when you honked it off you would easily get a jump from the time it took to downshift to second. He took your race, maybe next time you go from a 60 roll so he won't feel so bad. I'm with you about saying something back, I can't stand when people give excuses the second they get out of their car. Good kill!

This happened last weekend.
My car:
98 cobra
4.10 gears
o/r -x pipe
K/N filter
stock tune
His Car:
95 Camaro
Stage 5 slipping trans
Lid
Cherry bombs
Well we all cruising on the highway in Mexico and he ended up lining up next to me at one point so we decided to play around a little and have some fun. I figured it would be a good race between us but thought he would have the edge with the stall in his car.
We line up from a 40 roll and pace each other, He honks it off and we go on 3. I immediately jump out a half car probably because his auto and my gears. I run 2nd out and powershift 3rd and gain another half a car, continue and powershift 4th as well and gain hardly nothing maybe a 1/4 of a car... we continue and halfway through 4th he is starting to creep back just barely and then 120 is here and I have to shut down because thats the end of 4th and I'm ahead by about a car.
It was a fun race and really close... Afterwards, he came up to me and must have been a little bitter and said I'll have something for you in a month and we can go again lol. So being the smart *** that I am I said You better be putting a cam in it if you want to pull me in a month otherwise you will see tail lights again.
Normally I wouldn't say something like that to anyone but him saying that to me the minute he got out of his car rubbed me the wrong way. Funny thing is he doesn't know I have nitrous on my car so he will be surprised ha.

In all "HONESTY"
So what your saying is you beat a full bolt-on LS1 with a basically stock cobra with 4.10 gears?

Would you be spraying?
Thanks sir
Lol no it would have been a lot worse if I would have sprayed
Haha I know... I must have been dreaming it because I know I could never do it in the real world, they cannot be beat
I'm not trying to toot my own horn but I don't baby my car when I race at all. And I know that a lot of guys that have had these cars don't know how to drive them to their full potential or don't have a tall enough gear to optimize the power of these cars.
