I met up with a good buddy of mine last night who has a 00 Camaro SS 6-speed. Ever since he got it, he's been talking trash saying how Ford's are junk and how he could walk all over me. Well, last night we lined them up three times and I won all three times!!!
First run: We go from a stop. He gives me the jump (for obvious reasons), I hook thanks to the DR's and am gone. Hit second and he's about two cars back. Hit third and he's still there but he's coming up on me. Hit fourth and he's at my back bumper. I ran fourth out and shifted into fifth when he finally caught me. I was doing 110+ mph so I know we ran more than a quarter mile.
Second run: We go from a second gear roll. He gives me the jump again. I hit it with a little bark from the tires and am off. I hit third, fourth, then fifth when he finally blows by me. We were doing 100+ again.
Third run: We go from a stop again. I take off first and hook as usual. By second I have my usual two cars, by third he's coming, by fourth he's at my back bumper, shift into fifth and he passes me pretty quickly.
Now, his best run was a 13.64 but he's usually in the 13.7-8 range. I haven't run my car yet but I thought it might be good for a 13.9. We are going to try and film our races one time because he's a really good match for me. He's all stock with 5600 miles and a 6-speed. My mods are in my sig.
And I know he wasn't toying with me because we were racing to see who was going to buy beers!
And I could hear him chirp second and third everytime.
