Well guys,
Either I will no longer be an R/T owner (I will buy another) or I will be the new owner of a 97 Camaro SS this upcoming Tuesday night.
After about 6 years of a guy running his mouth about pretty much everything he owns I'm finally tired of hearing it. I called him out the other day and he accepted my challenge. We will be racing at the local 1/8th mile drag strip "Pinks style". We will be running be 2 out of 3 Heads-Up to see who wins.
I will be racing my R/T vs his 1997 Camaro SS, LT4 upgrades, Longtubes, 6 speed manual, with 4.10 gears. He will be on a set of new Nitto 555R tires.
Obviously his car is faster but we will be racing of the tree and he has NEVER made a pass down the drag strip. I am allowing him (and me) 2 time trial runs to try to get it figured out... Then we race. I have over 6,000 passes under my belt. I have made over 200 in the R/T. I typically cut between a .03x to a .12x reaction. He has a 100% stock suspension car and a stock 10 bolt other than gears. I don't think he will cut a good light or 60ft very well but we will see.
Wish me luck!
