Default My 3rd gen vs 08 Bullit

Guy was a complete douche so I gave him the hit and didnt spray, he ran his mouth for a while and talked me into driving 45mins just for this. Oh well, its always nice to shut up an ignorant person. BTW my car is a 87 Camaro with a 11.5:1 350, a 234/238 hydraulic roller, RHS heads, a built T-56, and alot of bolt-ons and a NX 150 shot(not used) and his car had minor bolt-ons. Watch the video slowly and notice how quickly I pulled past him

Enjoy!

I started 2 cars behind and ended up 2 cars ahead by the end which wasnt even a whole eighth mile. Look at 24secs and then compare it to 28secs, he runs high 8s in the 1/8th and I run mid 7s so it was really a pointless race to begin with.

If he's running high 8s he needs some seat time, but good kill regardless. You have the faster car.

The car is an auto and he ran that on a hot day, I know they are capable of better than that. BTW what is the difference in a Bullit and a gt besides the appearance mods? I really cant launch on street tires either, we did a highway run later that night and it was ugly. He called me the other day and said he got more mods and wants to run again. The guy is a serious douche so next time well put money on it and ill spray.

The Bullit package is basically (simplified explanation, obviously) like a Stage 1 Saleen/Roush, with 3.73 gears. Intake/exhaust/tuning, plus some light suspension work.

Thanks, should be capable of hanging close to a stock ls1 car then. My buddy raced him later that night in a bolt-on 99 Z28 and beat him by a few cars. I think they look worse than a regular GT but I guess they are supposed to emulate the car from that movie though.

Why were you 2 lengths behind? I like the Mustang for looks only, and kinda fast.

Good run, looks like you put a quick car on him just by the time you passed the camera.

I started behind him and gave him the hit, plus I just rolled on the throttle and kinda bogged for a second. He took off before I expected him to so I didint have my car at the right rpms to get a decent launch, it takes alot of finesse to get it right. I only get to drive my car about once every 3 months because Im in the Marine Corps so I get a lil rusty sometimes.

Nice kill bro that car is a real sleeper. If I saw that car on the road I would never expect it to be that fast. Much less with the spray. Whats it run in the 1/4?

The power of nitrous..Gotta love the juice... That guy needs a new alternator or to raise his rpm's at idle as you can see clearly see his head lights get brighter as he throttles up...

Is this the 3rd cam you've had in a year? Because in the last year you've claimed the car had a single pattern 230, a 238/242, and now this 234/238. And I'm surprised yoy didn't blast by him at 200 mph.

I was wondering if anyone would bring that up.
