Naw he wont have any excuses, he knew what i had, it was just a miscommunication when the video was edited. All the guys seamed pretty impressed with how the caddy did. We were all amazed at how hard that camaro ran tho... its a beast. Heres the video of the caddy and the cobra from my car.
this is me vs the blue 5.0 he races about mid video.

Funny you say that but don't say anything about the cobra, making it seem like you guys are close in weight. Not even slightly. The cobra is a vert, the driver weighs ~300-320 at least and the passenger in the cobra is also another ~225.
Definitely more. Don't get me wrong, the camaro runs hard as hell and is a good looking car, but it had a significant weight advantage. But that's racing, you "run what you brung" the cobra didn't bring enough.

Funny I said that because I knew a big deal would be made of the race weight thing...
Always something. It has probably 80 more hp and 100 tq more. It should be able to pull some more weight. Idk why people can just say good race instead of making excuses.

Anyone else notice when a Ford guy is racing a fox body weight is never mentioned......but as soon as their car gets a little heavier or the car they run is lighter they cry like bitches you screwed and don't call afterwards.

The thing about that intake for him is that it would pick up more under the curve.....maybe near 20 in places.

If I had a nickel for every time it was brought up how a Foxbody has a weight advantage because it is light, I would be a millionaire.
It's just funny that people that think they are so smart, throw out comments like "it's a dyno queen" or "it takes a Ford 100 more hp than it does a GM".
Anyway, OP you have a good looking car and has the performance that matches it's looks, congratulations.
