I like the 40 to about 130 if I am going to roll. I will roll race but do prefer the whole dig runs so a driver actually factors the race a little bit.

If you think Driver doesnt factor into a roll race you are 100% completely mistaken..

All it does is eliminate the launch which is more Traction and setup then driver..

I could come out in a auto stalled car with BIG sticky tires.. and just mash the throttle dragging 90% of the people from 0-80 and say " see i win".

all we are doing is eliminating the launch and making it more a driver race then a " whose car is setup to launch"

Last I heard he bought that new camaro he was helping on that caught fire and was fixed.

You did not say it works for both equally and yes I do like to hear myself.

2010 Camaro 432ci 6bolt lsx with two nitrous systems and a th400. It's much more of a track car than a street car. If you plan to "drag" me you better have a fast ******* car. The Camaro has a horrible cod but I don't care when it makes the power it does. You could tie a McDonalds billboard to the front of my car and I would still drag 99% of the cars on the street silly.

I will run you 40-130. Would probably be a good race. I'll run you from a dig but that needs to be at the track. Dig on the street is dumb.

Agree.

If you're game I'll run you motor to motor. I got nothing if you want to spray.

You would need to be making over 900rw to make up for the weight difference and the aero of the Vette. GT500's always get drug dirty by blown Vettes. Show me one video of a GT500 beating a blown Vette. lol.

How much does a GT500 weigh? It's my understanding the GT500 makes ~520ish? If that's the case I don't think there is a chance it will keep up with a 750+whp vette even if the vette is heavier than most vettes.
