[overseacobra]

I went 165.8mph on motor only, fastest all motor 2010 Camaro I believe

Now it's time to go 200mph!

nice man!!

Very very nice, but where is the Voltbeat?

My wife shifts faster than you. Learn to shift faster you'd probably pick up another 5mph. Either way it looks fun.

Next Video, I promise!

Lol I know. My slave cylinder was giving up (and eventually went out and emptied out all fluid on I-95...) and was hindering the shifts. Plus the fact that the Camaro hurst shifter is a piece of junk.

But yes, shifting could definitely be improved!

Very nice! The new Camaro has grown on me substantially. 165 on all motor is impressive to me.

in drag racing yes, in a top end run it doesnt matter how fast you shift. your fighting wind, and drag. banging gears wouldnt make a difference.

Wait, you can go wot in 5th? But, I thought....oh, that's right, only Terminators have to worry about that. lol

Nice run and camera angles. Looks like a lot of fun. It must feel nice to legally do a top end run.

That's actually quite true. But if we're talking 1000+whp and over 200mph ET's faster shifting would be beneficial.

I'll be there soon enough though

Are you serious? You dont think shifting faster would make a difference? What are you smoking?
Nice car, nice numbers!

I would agree with this. Nice run though 165 is solid! Now go for the 200
Did you modify the car in any way for the run? Tape, wheels, etc? Love it

Haha yup, and with the HP that's on it's way I hope to be holding fifth for a lot longer!

My Gopro cams are proof that they will easily hold up for 160+ for an extended period of time when mounted properly!

My goal is to be the first 5thgen in the 200mph club. And I don't care if the car would have a higher top speed with more room, 200mph in a mile is insanely fast no matter what car.

The project has already started moving in that direction epper:

No modifications, same trim as on the street!

Car sounds good!:beer:

Actually that is not true, on SW's supra that went 246mph in the standing mile he would lose about 7mph between each shift, so yes shifting fast would help.

Yes, as I wrote before, in those speeds fast shifting is a must! But at the speeds I'm not as important. But they will be when we try and hit 200!

Go 100mph put in the clutch and see how fast your speed decreases.

Shifting is definitely important. Hell you cant cut some time off in the 1320 by shifting faster.

I know it's important, and believe me if I could have shifted faster I would have! But I have probably 20-25 passes down the mile and my mph has been within 2 mph every time, no matter how I launch the car or if I grannyshift or powershift the car. I picked up the 2mph this time thanks to bumping up the revlimiter to 7200rpm to be able to pull it longer in 4th so when I shifted into 5th I was in the "sweet spot".

When I add another 300whp then I will have to shift like crazy to get a good mph

Not bad. For reference, we did 156.8 mph bone stock in Texas.

Yeah I saw that, great number!

I went 154.8mph bone stock back in November before I built the car.

We are putting in a 440ci built LS7 with a twin turbo set-up in a few weeks, should give us some decent power :rockon: 200mph is the goal!
