Default Got killed by a Fiat 126

I got my *** handed to me at the track by a Fiat 126!

Do you have these in the USA?

I have a video if you want to see it?

He the video link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kthDZeNKT2c

He ran 10.50 to my 13.37 101mph!

He's running a SBC and the drive has to sit in the back of the car!

It's a roller skate on wheels but with SBC power it hawls ***!

There's 2 of them here the both run SBC and tens there hilarious!

Note the wheelie on take off! he has damaged the car before with landing after a wheelstand.

We have all that in Finland too... Hence why we brought a few American cars with us (05 Dodge Grand Caravan, my TA, my dad's 65 Valiant 273 Convertible, and my Charger). Left behind a 05 Dodge Ram 3500 (Cummins + 6 speed) and a 03 3500 (Cummins + Auto).

Yes would you like the Fiat 126 with the SBC option Sir! You will have to sit in the back though and would Sir like wheelie bars with that!

Damn, fast little bugger. We've got one C5, and a couple of Camaro's over here. They're all black. I've seen more Porsche's and Ferrari's over here than I ever did in California. BMW's and Mercedes is a regular cab car, so their nothing special.
Our suburban get's the job done though. This thing halls *** compared to anything else over here. Gave an M5 a run for it's money.

TC, when did you see some camaros? And why didn't you tell me about them? Who was racing the suburban anyway? I hate to bring you down, but there is no way the suburban would give an M5 a run for its money, especially with all the weight added to ours. It is still faster than all these little peugots and fiats and crap though.

It looked like it was raining in that video. That doesn't sound too safe to be racing in the rain. :-) I see your camaro isn't bone stock, what factors lead to you getting a 13.37. Bad prep?
