it's on pump gas. 93 octane

used to have a 200 shot on it. He blew the intake off with it so he said fuck it and stayed all motor. He's put like 70 grand into that car. he's a real estate agent with too much money lol and his name is Rich lol

he's got 2 2010 camaro ss' and a stock 2002 SS.

those are his summer DD's then, he's got a Chrysler 300 C and a Dodge Ram for the winter.


I know its on pump gas. Everything I'm talking about is assuming pump gas. I'm just saying his setup isn't optimized. If the motor was built for spray and tuned for spray and he hasn't had it re-tuned then that would explain why he is missing a few tenths. The engine is running a little on the fat side and it has a tighter torque converter (for nitrous) than would be optimal for an N/A setup.



For $70k, assuming that includes the cost of a brand new car, he should be running mid-low 8's with a fully built turbo car. I think we have already been over this before but he must have been absolutely RAPED with a double capital R by a shop. Repeatedly. His engine is worth maybe $8k if you bought all new parts to replicate it. It sure as hell doesn't have $32k in suspension, tranny, and rear end.


For comparison, He is trapping ~4.5mph more than my car that has a stock bottom end LS1 (346ci) Patriot performance stage 2 LS6 heads(budget heads, sort of), a medium sized street car cam (234/238 .595/.605 int/exh), an LS6 intake, long tubes, and full exhaust. That's like $2500 in motor work.

One of these days, I'll just go over and take pics. I'm too lazy to ask him lol. His garage is hella nice too. Outside looks like a normal garage. Inside it's a complete shop garage, tandomed with grippy shop floor and a hoist. also has surround sound and a big screen tv in it lmfao

bummer? it takes them 10-13 seconds to go down an 1/8th mile track. half of them dont know how to stage either. so much time saved.

have you ever gone to an 1/8th mile track when theres honda kids there?

1. they dont stage correctly
2. they have the engine sitting at 800 rpm when the light turns green, takes them a few seconds to actually get going
3. they shift as if they are on the street
4. all having 87 octane
5. all of them stock engines. they have an intake/exhaust/"chip"/cut springs/JDM stickers
6. all under 200 hp

i mean i could go on and on. hell DOHC civic ran what? a high 6 in the 1/8th? sorry but i see full size pick up trucks run that all day down here.

I don't watch 1/8th mile racing...why not just keep driving to the 1/4? you're gonna go down to the end regardless to pull off the lane...I can understand Jr. Dragsters doing 1/8th mile but camaros and shit doing it is just stupid..
