Default ::vid:: Turbo Regal vs Cam'd + bolt-on T/A ::vid::

Saw this over on clubgp figured i'd post it here since it does involve a LS1 TA. Hopefully it's not a repost, not trying to start anything i just thought it was a good race between 2 completely different cars .

Here's the thread incase you wanna read about the car's

Here's the video

Nice vid...


I would have loved to have seen the expression on the truck driver's face in the middle lane that got passed by both cars at 100+ mph WOT... If he was sleepy, these guys woke his *** up!

The TA should race him in the day. Those pop head lights being down would free up 100 hp. Or so a guy in a Honda told me.

That's funny, man!!!
That sounds like something a guy in a Honda would say. I bet ya he told you to put stickers on your car also. That is usually good for another 20Hp!

^ You have a point, and you have opened up my eyes...

Too long have I been a wuss, scared to slam on the brakes, stage, and yank my front wheels up in defiance of those behind me on the freeway... It's a new era for streetracing and some of us have to be pioneers.

The turbo regal is a great car.. Soon as I fix my valve seal problem. Hopefully I'll get some f-body revenge on him.. The TA has a 23? 23? cam with around 370~RWHP. The Regal is somewhere over 400RWHP
