LoL, if he wasn't spraying, maybe he was just playing with the Cobra and only giving it half throttle until the Cobra started to catch him and then he floored it to stop the Cobra's pull.

To me it did not seem like he sprayed at all. Seems like it gets back up in the rpms and starts to pull again, has good top end. Good race and sounds mean.

Haha. I promise he wasn't spraying. We're talking about a 250 shot here. It wouldn't have bumped up the RPM's a tad like everyone is discussing. INSTEAD, it woulda blew the tires off!

I'm wondering if it was a blown shift or the guy started to get out of it, and then changed his mind.

As stated above, "you run what you brung". The Cobra came with 14psi and the Camaro came with Nitrous. It is street racing so there are no rules. Whoever has more takes the money and the pride.

Putting all this aside..he definitely sprayed (but not a 250 Shot). The Camaro driver was actually smart IMO. He new his N/A bolt-on LS1 motor was going to hang for a short time and then get pulled...so he sprayed right at the point where the Cobra was going to begin its pull.
Slick move, I would say..

Your car sounds sick but spraying in 5th on a friendly run with no money involve is pretty stupid, IMO. Not that serious, he started to pull when your car when it fell out of its sweet spot no big deal. I bet if the race would've lasted longer before he let go you would've came back.
