"GILL" > wrote in message ... > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8ari...eature=related Damn, wish that was my Camaro in the other lane Last Friday night there were five GT500's at test and tune. Who would have thought there were five of them in all of Tucson?? The quickest one went 13.30. Talked to the guy for about a half hour. He was in the 12's, then he changed the rear gears to 3.73's. No traction with DOT slicks, and he was shifting very soon after the launch. The other 4 were struggling to get in the 14's. There were also some stock Corvettes there from our local Corvette club. Usually they are struggling to run 14's and 15's. The new ones run 13's with no problems. Some were in the 12's. And of course there were a few of them that knew what they were doing that made it into the 11's. ****es me off they can out run my 73 Nova right out of the box. Was a Saleen there a while back. Chip, bigger injectors, different pulleys on the supercharger, big exhaust, street tires. Ran in the 16's. He said it was faster when it was completely stock. He told me it made 380 HP on a chassis dyno stock, 414 after the mods. But no way could he hook it up. Some teenage kids were there with a Cobra, it ran 15's and also could not hook up. They raced the Saleen on the way home from a roll and beat it. Said they made a video of the street race and it was on Youtube, but I can't find it. To me the Cobra and GT500's are damn fast if they could just find some traction. Al |

Mostly GT500s, a few Shelby GTs, a couple of the new V6 "Terlingua" cars. I was sure my 1,300-miles-old GT/CS would be the slowest one there, but at 15.43/15.38 it was a bit faster than a few of them. It was a mostly-for-fun race, with flag starts and stopwatch finishes, so the numbers don't relate well to the real world. Pictures of the drag event are in album two of these three, all accessible from the left column. http://www.fototime.com/inv/6ED82FA664FA6EA -- Frank ess |

Wrote a long reply and lost it We're in Tucson. We ran 8.79's @ 157 MPH with the Ford powered Camaro, back to back so the strip hooks.
