So no, that camaro was NOT spraying.
lol do you have a clue? "the lower hp car will have more traction"

Don't come this late into the discussion and try to start **** gaybo, you aren't contributing ****.

Yes I do have a clue. As a matter of fact at the time when my car made 412rwhp I jumped out 2+ cars on a 893rwhp Turbo TA because he had traction issues and I did not (both cars on BFG DR's). He then proceeded to freight train right past me once he hooked. Now, doesn't this race look like that to you? One car getting traction and "jumping out" while the other car spins and then as soon as the cobra gains traction, hes out.

Based off of that observation, you can clearly see (or at least I would hope you can) where I'm coming from. The Camaro NEVER sprayed or the Cobra wouldn't have just pulled corn fields on him. It's not a case of brand loyalty here, this is common ******* sense. A 600whp Vert Cobra WITH the filming passanger pulling ******* corn fields on a 430whp h/c "spray" LS1 is a joke. I'll believe a 600whp cobra walking away from a 430whp camaro like that any day of the week. Add in the supposed "spray", and it would have been a decent race with the Cobra eventually pulling up top (my opinion).

I TOTALLY AGREE. plus there are just too many inconsistencies. in this post is says KB 2.2 and in the vid it says KB 2.4

and also you can tell the ss didnt spray because the spray is progressive even without a controlled you dont just launch real fast for 1 second then the nitrous is done you take the eff off. and from the looks of this race the SS only rev'd it and dropped the clutch making him jump 1/2 car at first then the cobra hooks and it gone. had the ss been using nitrous he would have held the 1/2 length or even made it much more before the cobra caught traction and caught up. either way your ford is silly and for the 21 psi it claims you are running on the video you car is not impressive. there is a local guy here with an 99 ss with 10 psi running 550 something to the wheels. poor fords. . .

Just for the sake of argument, that Z28 wasn't spraying; and you can hear nitrous hit and see it in the exhaust as well.

Our car with a 100 shot had no problem putting it to a 620rwhp Cobra; with the 180 shot it definately is way past time for soap on a rope.

Edit: Refer to this Cam/spray SS putting it to a KB Cobra: https://ls1tech.com/forums/street-racing-kill-stories/836487-my-cammed-ss-vs-640rwhp-2-2l-kb-cobra.html

2nd camera car shows little reguard to traffic. The van was trying to merge and was ALMOST in the lane at the time of the race, and the 2nd car just sped up to **** them off. 2nd guy shouldnt drive anymore....

may be true for some cases, but definitely not the rule. you're completely discounting suspension setups, weight, gearings, powerband, etc. and racing dyno sheets. peak power isnt what is most important for moving down the 1320. ive beat a bunch of cars w/ more power because ive got a decent suspension setup and good tires.

People coming in here making all sorts of BS claims is nothing new, ESPECIALLY so with the forced induction Ford guys. Keep your **** consistent and you'll have no problems from "trolls" like me So, what blower does that 03 have again?

I wasnt going to mention the fact that my Cobra was faster than my H/C SS on a 100 shot. All it takes though is 130-135mph traps to do it.

Then again, there are N/A (not DD) cars running that trap so it is all in the set up.
