Had a great time tonight! Got to get some runs in with a buddy's built 6.0 Camaro SS 6sp.
My car was on it's pump gas setup which makes it about a mid-10 second, 130ish trapping car. His car usually runs a 150 shot of spray, but did not use it for these runs. Basically, both cars tonight were very close.
I usually don't roll race, but that's what we did here.
1st run was a 20 mph start. I was in first gear but did not build any boost up. The car suffered too much turbo lag and the V8 car got a big jump. He let out so we could run again.
2nd run was the same 20mph start. I brake boosted this time. I quickly got a 3 car lead and slowly pulled away.
3rd and last run was a 60mph pull. I brake boosted again and spun real bad and got a little side ways.
I quickly got it straightened out and got about the same results as the 2nd race
The bad part was all that brake boosting did something to my brakes. I had to drive 20 miles home with some mushy @ss brakes:redface: I guess that's a small price to pay for a good time
Looks like the old V6 can still keep up with today's newer horsepower:biggrin:
