Background:
First kill on the new engine... lots of shit talking back and forth with this guy, we decided to finally run em. He finally got his shit together too, so it was a run what you brung kind of night.




Mustang:

Built 3v (some fancy saleen shit)
Cool intake
67mm snail pushing whatever pump gas allows (10-11psi?)
Manual
~620rwhp

Camaro:
429, weight reduction (~3600),
Huge stall 4L80.
~590rwhp (N/A)

Both cars had a 220lb passenger


The cars

The video (not very exciting, dont like this new camera loc... obviously he never comes close to getting in front)

The aftermath, mustang ended up with a hurt cylinder a few minutes later on the way back. The camaro pushed the valve cover gasket out and sprayed some oil everywhere (needs better PCV).

We towed it home with my buddy's.... Chevy truck. Priceless.

Rematch to come sometime soon when he fixed his shit and I add some more pcv vent.

Unless I just couldn't see it because i am on my iPhone, it looked like you were just driving around "in Canada" by yourself!

The camera loc sucks for nighttime. It's my daytime mount, didnt have my camera in the nighttime position :(. We started side by side, I ended up about 2-3 cars up at 140

Good write-up and your car sounds sick but it does look like your driving around by yourself. Next time bring a passenger, but that plate on your car :nonono:

I was betting on the 3v winning with the extra 30 horses if they both weighed about the same seeing as the maro had weight reduction, and its crazy that you won by more than a car but I wasn't there so good kill

Note: Isn't it interesting that in a race, when both cars wind up having problems, the poster still proceeds to dog the other car for breaking? :shrug:

Ones going to be a little more to fix than the other though. Shit happens though.

Sounds like they were friends so it happens a lot.

When I broke a rear axle on my Z06 my best friend (who loves his ford stuff) came and picked me up in his powerstroke flatbed. "I would have picked you up in the duramax but that shit is broke so I came with the powerstroke"...

IDK if he's on this site or not, but thats what happened. When he gets his car fixed and big boy race gas tune put on, we'll see how he does again the 400 shot.

again, no offense but you must not be familiar with going fast in a straight line if you dont understand why a 600 rwhp auto car would rape a 600 rwhp manual car

Go do some research. maybe take a look at before and after 1/4 mile times for 03/04 guys that swap to autos....that will paint a good picture.

Lol he won't need a race gas tune to get around you. Finally talked to him. He said you two were door to door when he lost traction and hit the fuel cut
