Default nice kill!!!!

So anyways my car has been down for a while, so i ride in my friends camaro ss to the illegal races. this camaro has gone 12.5's with its current set up. it has heads and cams, edelbrock lt's, f.a.s.t. intake manifold, 90mm throttle body, and fuel rails, manual cut off's, and nitto drag radials. Some cocky mustang comes up to us, thinking he is all bad. This mustang is a 2004 mustang saleen 281 with a p1sc procharger running, i think, 10 lbs of boost on a AMP built motor with blower cams. ford racing heads, etc. this guy thinks he will rape the camaro so we head out to the highways. First race starts at 20 mph 1st gear roll... third honk and we are about 3 cars ahead pulling until about 6-7 cars. Next he claims he messed up, and demands a rematch from a dig this time. So obviously we run. By the end of first gear we are about 1 car ahead till about 115mph when we were about 8 cars ahead of him. It might be me, but i love it when a ls1 kills a cocky mustang. i loved it lol.

I'm going to say good kill! Even though a 12.5 SS beating a built mustang with heads,cams and 10lbs of boost sounds suspect to me!

you would be surprised!! my brother went to the same shop (biggest mistake of his life) ran the same supercharger on a 01 cobra w/a built block and 10lbs and pushed 385 rwhp and little torque (not worth mentioning). Not sure if his car was running like crap or what but a kill is a kill right??? lol

12.5 is slow for a heads/cam/ FAST Intake LS1. With those mods that car is capable of 11's easily.

I'm in FL man, so I have an idea of what you mean.
Still, the weather should effect the both of you. Maybe him more-so because he's boosted.
