That's not too hard to believe. But the boss owner said the regal picks up a bit with open cutout which is what he had when he raced the boss. And the regal was getting slightly pulled by it. So with the cut out closed I see no way possible for the regal to stop a zl1's pull and then come around it. Unless, like others said, the zl1 guy didn't know he was racing OR this stories just false all together.

my buddies automatic ZL1 goes 12.4 at 114. It hooks at wot and thats it time and thats under 1000 da.

I asked him to race and he declined as he thought it would be a waste of time because of how bad i would beat him. He has had and built many fast cars... he said the zl1 doesnt feel much faster then his old bolt on A4 fourth gen.

I hate to hijack... but heres a video of me racing various cars. And Juice is one of them. Every car in this video would pull on a zl1. In fact the black ctsv already has.

Nice kill!

**** talkers/people who have no idea about the bs they speak of, that Regal would pull a stock ZL1 at the strip or on on a roll without a doubt. OP's story comes at no surprise.

He was definitely racing.
There is zero question about it.
He may not have realized it was going to be a race... but once I hit it, I assure you, it was.

I bet the ZL1 is a great car to drive daily, but if acceleration is the goal, choose another car.

He was smart to decline the race...would be absolute rape.

Ok, that sounds legit.

Your car seems to move out nicely. But with a jump from behind, and the other guy not knowing your were going to race from the start, I can see how you drove right by him. Momentum is a bitch when you don't get the jump.

I'd be interested to see how you fair against a bolt-on LSA car. (Waiting for vid)

Seems legit to me. Look how close Juiced was next to Evans Boss. I watched an auto ZL1 run 12.30's at 114 last night at the track. I myself ran a 12.30 at 113.5 last night with my car being 100% stock.

Thanks toots, I gotta keep my ethuggin strong! in all seriousness you know that even he knows that his car is ugly... I'm not saying that a car makes anyone more or less cool and even I was driving an UGLY *** 92 sedan deville a month ago as my DD until I sold it! My new DD is an 04 santa fe awd and imo ugly as ****! I'd still say that even if it was fast (but it never will be).

Lol I find it amusing that Evan and juice went from threats of violence to defending each other.
The rest of y'all need to stop becoming friends. Keep the beef and my entertainment alive!!

BTW good kill
