That track looks like Temple/Little River. I can believe the 5.0 runs those times on a cool Texas night on SLICKS dumping the hell out of that factory clutch. The car DEAD hooked and those great 60fts equal some good times. That clutch probably won't live long though. Try it on street tires.

I can select gear, it's called 1st. Anything under 30 I can get the jump with the steep first gear of the 60e. I don't do these silly 55 rolls. I normally only do digs but all the manual guys want rolls.
Wasn't racing in three straight videos? That's better than the V6 comments earlier.
Good times. As it stands right now I am 3-1 vs the 5.0's. The one I posted I have run 7 times and never lost. Hell I think it was faster when it was brand new. Who knows what's wrong with it. **** is funny as hell.
My best run was versus a bone stock auto 5.0 on 28" MTs from two digs. He got out a fender, and I would pull like I did in the video posted until he got to my rear bumper, and he would creep back. First run he was creeping and I let out at 110 which is what I trap. Second run I stayed in it until 130 and he only got to my door handle. Good runs. That car just went 12.2's with a tune consistently and stepped down to 26" radials.
Oh and as a secret... I've almost purchased two 5.0's. I just can't find the one I want. I have nothing against them, but people get ******* butt hurt over them.
My only loss was versus a tuned M6 from a 20 roll. Still a good run, I got out on him, and he came around hard to win by a car and a half. He just purchased a Procharger for his.

Ok the vid of the M6 Z28 was my car. Titter on drag radials and I was on 275 no name street tires. Not Z rated or anything. First run was me spinning 1st through 2nd and 3rd and 4th caught me back up. Second run was my wife in the passenger seat working the traction control to keep me from spinning so bad and I wound up coming back around in the video to get him by a fender. 1st and 2nd gear were traction control on. My car is a vert so add weight there and I had a passenger AND was on street tires. Just needed to defend myself a little there so people weren't saying I couldn't drive my car etc.
Got drag radials now though

If we can make some races work while I am in FL bring your car in the spray. Should be fun. I mean you should beat a stock 5.0 auto bad.

A lot of idiots I've seen try to stall it way up and spin tires or just mash the gas without stalling it. Not saying its difficult, more like he knows what he is doing.
Also, LOVE your comment, Push pedal down.... Check. Totally called for and awesome. I literally LOL'd.

Don't be jelly. You're now just another angry 5.0 owner that has lost to my slow LS1.
Full disclosure: I need to spray my car to keep up once those 5.0s start modding.
