Good video. Looked like the last race the vette was going to gain....? Wish they would have run through the gears better.

Was the camaro leaving on the second honk everytime or is that just me? Good runs (minus the missed gears and 2 gear spurts) from two clean cars

Nice vid both are badass cars. I think the vette could have possibly come around at the top of 4th in a few of the runs.

Having street tires on the 2nd gear rolls was killing me. It would spin to the top of 2nd and then I had to shift to 3rd. The Camaro was on drag radials. I'd like to see a rematch when I get some drag radials out back. Oh well. Run what ya brung.

That make some sense. The camaro was lurching forward and I knew it shouldnt be that far ahead in HP.

We were in the middle of 4th when I let out. We will do a rematch on a better road and we will let out at the top of 4th
