Default MNIVET (LS1 Miata) vs. 650rwhp 76mm Turbo SS Camaro

Hey guys met this dude at a meet and we went to Mexico for some runs...
30-130 roll.

My car: See sig... I unfortunately DIDN'T have my spray on me but I said "**** it" let's run em'...
I was on my nitrous tune and make 391rwhp...

He Said he had a stock LS3, 76mm turbo (front mounted... It was beautiful...)
FMIC, 10psi boost, Meth, blah blah...

Anyway:

That sucks for that guy. I really wanted to see him win. He just dropped major coin for a turbo kit and you have to come around and emasculate him.

He might be. If he is truly making about 10psi on a ls2 with meth then I wouldn't think he could be too far off from that number.

At the car meet there was a guy there that is friends with the guy that tuned that Camaro at a performance shop in houston but didn't actually know the owner of the car and he called the tuner and the tuner confirmed the car put down 650rwhp @ 10psi in 103 degree heat.
Its an LS3 obviously... not an LS2 car. Stock longblock from what I remember...
Its a very fast car, but just heavy as hell...
One time he punched it a half second before I punched it and I couldn't catch him... (I'm off spray..) So its definitely fast...

Just sad that a car that has SO much power can't pull away from me... Weird... Dyno queen? Lol

Nice Kill.


I have found a lot of the 5th Gens to be just that Dyno Queens. Make huge power but don't run the times to back all that power up.

I don't care how much confirmation you say you have. That car isn't making 650rwhp. Unless something is wrong with that car or he isn't making anything but peak power there is no way you should be beating him by 2-3 cars!! I am not trying to take anything away from your car bro.

OP what does your car weigh?

I am thinking his weighs right around 3900-4000 depending on his trim. Then a little more depending on how big he is. ALso he should have a lot of TQ with a Turbo set up.

Look man I realize weight plays a huge roll in racing but the big difference is that Camaro if it makes 650rwhp, weighs 4000lbs and is properly driven it should trap 125-126mph versus his miata weighing in at around 2800lbs, making 391rwhp should trap 118-120mph. That's a hugh difference..

From looking at the Camaro times. I don't think he would trap that high. Look what all LMR had with there car and only trapped what they did. They was making more then 650whp. Plus they had weight reduction.

Bet someone says, "Their drivers don't know how to drive!" That seems to the be only answer when something that shouldn't be beat, gets beat.
