Killed an LS1

[quick4dr]

This all goes back about two months ago this local LS1 owner came on srtforums and posted a video of my buddy's yellow srt following a race and him passing him and entitled the video "SRT and EVO get killed" He killed the EVO but the srt-4 you can plainly tell wasn't racing. But not only did he post the video he put "INLINE 4 CYLYNDERS SUCK" as his first post lol. Then started telling people to go get a "real" car. So I setup a race with this guy since I wanted to put him in his place hehe. Heres a link to the thread . http://www.srtforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=281275
So on the way out to the spot about 1 a.m I see a crotch rocket getting on the highway with me and he was going kind of quick so I thought hey get a practice run in and I love running bikes even if I get wooped but have actualy taken out some 600's. So I pull up next to the guy empty road and he looks over at me and I guess heres my loud dumped exhaust and my guages we hit it from 60 mph probably and he scoots to my front bumper through 3rd and part of 4th I started to creep and put him at my backdoor shifted to fifth and slowly puttin him at my rear bumper let out. So he pulls even with me again and gives me the thumbs up. Second run he wants to go to down lower of course 40mph I was on drag radial so I wouldnt spin too bad but of course the bike is gonna pull on me more from the lower speed so we hit it and he put about 2 cars on me and stays there and around 4th I gained on him and pulled even then pulled about a fender before we let out. Ran him a third time and this time was from about 50 which I kept it in 3rd he pulled this time about 3 or 4 cars on me and I never caught him gained a little but he had about a car when we let out. So we stop and talk and was very surprised how well my Neon did and he was on a 02 GSXR 600 with just a pipe. I told him I was going to run a Camaro and he wanted part of the action so he folows me to the spot. So we meet up with the Camaro in the parking lot and go out to BFE to race well the rest of the story is on video from inside the LS1's view I was very impressed the camaro posted the video well heres the video.

good job! whats your setup?

[juxsa]

awesome

[ducatitodd]

Notice how he labeled the video "1998 Camaro Z28 A4 w longtubes VS SRT-4 with ALOT OF SHIT done"

Poor V-8 :(

[Ondonti]

bouwnt!

was the camaro doing the honking? Sounded like a crappy cheater 3 honk.

[DirectConnection]

Hey..I agree with you there! That 3rd honk on the 2nd run was lame.

[cjmr34]

Man now thta was a kill wow!

[shadow t2]

The link won't work for me, but nice kill. I love spankin the mouthy V8 drivers.

[turbo minivan]

awsome! made a dakoda look bad in my van tonight! so much fun!

[kaijhe_jsziack]

That was damn cool! I love how the Gixxer was there too, makes it all the more entertaining. Great kill man!

EDIT: I was just watching the video again. Although I'm not famous for having a fast car (my TD pulls 16.7's all day!!! ), I realized a couple things about the LS1 and the driver.

1. That guy doesn't know what a powerband is. Notice how long he got stuck near the redline at the end of the first run when he had it pinned. The car was barely speeding up.

2. Automatic? Come on! (Guilty, I have an automatic)

3. Haha, he sure sounded pissed.

What kind of setup are you running anyway (asked already)? I wanna know if it was "definitely a Stage 3 or 4" as said by the comments. If I'm not mistaken, a 400 hp SRT4 can be acheived by a properly tuned T2 or 2.5 Turbine and some goodies.

What's done to the SRT yo?
My buddy has an 04 with open downpipe, 3" O2 housing, fuel return, dtec, fuel rail, solid mounts, HUGE AGP front mount, stock turbo, intake manifold spacer and some odds and ends. He can spin to 70 on DR's with boost spiking to 24 and settling at 20....now he has a 75 shot of N02..

When will people learn that roll racing is not racing. In fact, it's completely gay.
