Nice Driven Erik !! Way to go !!!

MF2SSRS 05-06-2011 07:18 AM

That rules so much! I was wondering what happened with this, and am so glad a video was made.

That driving was amazing! You made that Challenger look like a fool.

FFPM73 05-06-2011 08:23 AM

Great driving Erik! Nice sweep. Was surprised the Challenger didn't put up a fight in the 1/4 mile though.

At least your driving can speak for it's self...... :D


Great job Erik! Thanks for stepping up and representing Camaro5!!!

dmginc 05-06-2011 09:06 AM

nice driving...whooped that Challenger!

Captain McFunk 05-06-2011 09:08 AM

......so wait....that challenger has almost 600rwhp and 700rwtq and it only ran 13.7? I mean.....am I missing something??? I watched the video without audio, as i'm at work, so if they said it in the video, i'm sorry about that.

AnnaBear@SpartaChevy 05-06-2011 09:11 AM

NICE driving, Erik! Way to represent! :thumbsup:

Camaro21 05-06-2011 09:12 AM

zslewis 05-06-2011 09:15 AM

LAWMAN 05-06-2011 09:16 AM

Way to go Erik,you represented very well!!

REAPER SS 05-06-2011 09:17 AM

Nice kill... Thats how U murder somone who challenges you(no pun intended):respekt:

Erik@Torq 05-06-2011 09:19 AM

Thanks guys!

It was an awesome event and I am stoked that it went so well. even though they did screw up my mph on the 1/4 run (117mph) but a win is still a win :thumbup:


They car did exactly what she was supposed to, and as always was driven all the way from Miami to Houston, raced (won) and driven home again. I cannot say enough good things about the 5th Gen, how much I love it and she has always been there for me :thumbup:

Thanks a million to the all you members at Camaro5.com for choosing me and I hope you don't regret it :D This win was for you guys!

I would also like to thank our awesome vendors for making parts for these awesome cars that actually hold up to such insane abuse that my Camaro see's, Pfadt, Kooks, Brembo and many more.

I may be able to hold my own on the track, but it wouldn't be possible without quality parts!

Very true! But having all that power and running on street tires isn't the best of course. He was blowing the tires off for the first 200ft.

I know the car has run a low 12 at 120 somthing previously, but that might have been on radials.

We got 3 runs in, I ran 12.7, 12.8, 12.7 at the same mph each time. He was all over the place with traction issues and whatnot, so as in road racing, a consistent car will always be faster that a high power car.

Texas2SS 05-06-2011 09:25 AM

Great job out there

GTAHVIT 05-06-2011 09:35 AM

Well Done Erik!

Nice win!

I remember seeing your car at the first fest and was very impressed then... Obviously you've got it dialed in!

:headbang:

Cammarrah 05-06-2011 09:38 AM

Erik, FANTASTIC! Super stoked on your win! Camaro5 couldn't have chosen a better representative!

CROOPS34 05-06-2011 09:38 AM

Great work Eric. Made us all proud. :clap:

BlkThndr66 05-06-2011 09:42 AM

Awesome Erik!! Epic Camaro Win!

xLoGiK1 05-06-2011 09:46 AM

Way to represent South Florida Erik. Your car is awesome! Congrats!

KMSRS2SS 05-06-2011 09:49 AM

very nice run, great job.

DevilsReject97 05-06-2011 09:56 AM

I must say, very impressive Erik. Looks like your car did very well and you represented C5 to the fullest.

I'd also like to tip my cap to Jeff. Not only was he very cool during the whole thing, but he also has a very nice Challenger. It's nice to see more mutual respect than the typical douchebaggery we come to expect these days.

The statement there is no replacement for displacement is all well and true.....but if you can't put the power down, it's meaningless...

silentdoom 05-06-2011 10:00 AM

wooooooohoooooo!!!! :chevy::happyanim:

Blue Maro Demon 05-06-2011 10:04 AM
