Here soon I will be adding some mods to the car and decided to call out one of the locals just to get a baseline of where I stand. Now from what I was told the GT500 made over 800 hp/tq on race gas and nitrous (not sure about all the mods done). When we met he said it was on his pump gas tune but I could've sworn my friend and I smelled something else... It was a fun race and hopefully will be doing it again. Enjoy the video.

An 800hp gt500 is a 140+ trap car, I bet he had a pulley and tune only (or even stock) by the way you pulled him. Your car should be high 120s low 130s.

He said he was spinning, but he choose the concrete road so he could hook. I though I would be toast racing him and was very surprised by this outcome. Thanks

Good kill but it definitely sounded like an M122 right after 1st to 2nd shift. Maybe he shoots a 150 or 200 shot on a basic bolt-on/pulley Eaton.

Should have done at least one roll to rule out driver error. Would have been interesting.

Good kill...GT500 driver or should I say lack thereof needs a lot of practice judging by how he was banging off the limiter, lol.
