Default LS1 with bolt-ons and a 100-shot can't get around a 4-door Cobalt?!

Just a friendly race. Didn't have any idea what the outcome was gonna be honestly. Yes, the owner of the Camaro is going to build the transmission.

So you beat a car with a slipping trans in 8600ft DA where you have an advantage lol.


Jk, good kill. The 4L60 has seen it's day though haha.

That was a lot of hype for such bad races.

Watched some of your other vids, good editing and pretty impressive kills. What does a car like yours run at sea level?

Thanks! Corrected to sea level and good DA it's around a 12.5 @ 115mph. It's just that at 6000ft above sea level + DA increases, turbo cars just flat out rape up this high since so little power is lost compared to NA cars. If I lived closer to sea level, I probably wouldn't own this car, but it suits my needs up here.

The trans is slipping bad in the camaro so I doubt much of the nitrous hit was sctually getting to the tires. Nitrous creates its own atmosphere so high elevation will not effect it "as much" compared to NA.

Good run man. Turbo Balts can get it done without a doubt. I do think that Z28 would've edged you out slightly had his trans not of slipped some. None the less, you have a very quick car, sir.

What was DA for this race? If this was turbo vs spray in **** DA and I'm impressed the camaro kept up.
