Boost hits full torque around 2.5-3krpm, and the cam opens up at around 4k lol.

I had experience racing my Z28 (Worst mistake ever going from my LT1 to the 2V) so after the first few times out with it I was pretty consistent

Awesome! Congrats! As long as you don't have anything terrible on your background you should be good to go. Misdemeanors are fine just make sure you are honest about everything. Dont lie about anything.

I ******* hate having a fast car. NO ONE WILL RACE ME EEEEEEEEEEERRRR.

I need to buy a GTO or a G8 and just cam it so I can beat everyone but not slaughter, so people will keep trying. Yesterday a type r integra turbo came out and was laying the smack down on people but refused to run me. Took a 2012 dual clutch tuned m3 to beat him and that m3 only got him by half a car up top. I know I would've slaughtered him but still... You know how it sucks to watch bunch of people race yet everyone refuses you .

Yes. There are no tracks. There's a regional drag meet in Nov. in Costa Rica, but long ******* drive and I don't think my SRT10 can tow the camaro on a trailer TBH.

People use to call me a roll queen because I couldn't hook and only wanted rolls. Now that I am a dig king no one will race me b/c I have slicks. We have actually thought about painting over the HOOSIER letters somehow to make it stealthy but anyone with half a brain will realize I have slicks lol.

I remember some guy in a twin cam corolla wanted to dig race me a while back but he wanted a 0-80 race. I was like...wtf? He even offered 10k for it.... I asked him if you drive a 86 twin cam you don't have 10k stfu. Now that I have slicks he is MIA.

Going in a straight line isn't racing really, just a test of horse power! So... Vid is a epic fail.

It has a 7k tow capacity. The camaro is at around 4k, but I can get it down to 37xx with stripped exhaust, tires, etc. Plug the weight of trailer. Plus equipment. I think I would be very near that 7k mark.

How much do ******* trailers weigh? All I'm saying is add 2 people. 300lbs+3700lbs+trailer weight+tools+wheels and you're pretty close I think. Remember SRT10 ain't made to tow ****. It's RWD.

That "Straight line isnt racing" **** is ricer mentality it takes just as much skill to drag race as it does anything else. It's not simply "a test of horsepower"

Usually people who say straight line racing isn't racing are people with slow cars. Trying launching 600+ rwhp/rwtq cars and say it's not a skill you have to learn. Hell it's hard to launching 450rwhp cars.

It was hard as **** to launch my WS6 when it was stock, let alone after the H/C-suspension even with DR's
