V-6 Slowmaro Get's Creamed

Unit 5302 · 05-28-2001, 05:21 PM

It's been pretty quiet on the racing front around here lately, I was heading over to Wal Mart with my buddy when this late model Camaro pulls out behind me. It was like 10PM, so it's dark out and the car is deep blue. Hard to tell if it was the Z28 or not at that point. Two guys in it. They got into the next lane and rolled up. We took off when the light turned, briskly next to each other. He jumped on it at about 15mph, so I put it down and bogged a little. Damn 2.73's with 2.95 1st. Anyway, as soon as the engine caught up, I started pulling like mad. By the end of 1st I had him by a car. Hit 2nd and he was 2 cars back almost instantly. I got out of it like 65mph, lol. It was so over. Had to make my turn at the next light. When I slowed down to turn they wouldn't even get beside me.

Guess they really didn't know the 5.0 would smoke em?

Oh well, easy, but altogether enjoyable kill.

Over at CamaroZ28.Com, they post all the time about how Camaro 6 bangers will beat stock 5.0's and stock 4.6's. Actually, it's kinda funny. I don't even respond. What's the use?

Even I dont believe a Camaro V6 car will beat a 4.6 or most 5.0's.. V6=200hp and they dont underrate them like the V8's.. good race

When the mustang first got the 4.6L I used to beat the auto's with my Firebird V6 5 speed ( keep in mind this was a light to light race up to about 70mph dont think I would have taken them in the 1/4 though) I also seen a V-6 97'GMC step side 5 speed truck with 4.88 gears smoke a Z-28 in a street race. The guy that has this truck is my brothers friend and wants to race my stang at the track even though its just a V6 truck I dont know if I would take him or not with a 15.2
