Shelby GT350 Destroys Boosted Camaro

[KillerKlown]

These machines are amazing. Look at how easily the GT350 walks the boosted Camaro. Better luck next time kid.

Its a 4.8 with a 'middle of the road' turbo kit :shrug: not exactly something to be impressed by...

Not exactly destroyed.

Walked him pretty hard for an NA car vs a Boosted Car. IMO

come on with that....its an old clapped out F body with a 'meh' turbo kit on it.

versus a brand new GT350.

I've got an 03 cobra that'll WALK that GT350 hard. Not an apples to apples comparison. Its two random ass cars that arent even in the same category, any which way you cut it :lol:

But good video, i guess....


Do you own the GT350?? Seems that way.

Interesting race I guess. Who decides to use a 4.8 when the 5.3 or 5.7 probably do not cost that much more? Gonna assume they just had that engine laying around and just said what the hell, throw it in there.

Did you post the right video up? Still waiting to see the video of a GT350 destroying or walking a boosted camaro period, let alone hard.

That's what I'm thinking. Guy here at work pulled a 4.8 out of his truck and installed a built 5.7. So that 4.8 is just laying around.

Destroyed. Definition. Pulling another car by 3 inches.

Pulling 3/4 of a car is just winning, not walking.

the internet always tells me a junkyard truck engine with an ebay turbo = a low 11 / high 10 second car automatically.

Hot Rod Magazine and Car Craft agree though...


From some of the things I've read, there is no significant difference in boosted power between a 5.3 and 4.8. Lots of guys accidentally end up with 4.8s when pulling or buying off Craigslist.

As for the video, the $6k Junkyard Camaro held its own against the $60k Super Fancy Mustang.

I can remember when a H/C F-body making around 425whp was just bad ass... I go put ethanol tune and intake on my mustang, and now it's not quite as bad ass. :-(
