Nice job! You really steeped up and represented the Camaro and Camaro5!

whamslam3 · 05-07-2011, 02:03 AM

GET PWNED!!!

haha

DoggyB22 · 05-07-2011, 05:01 AM

Congrats on sweeping him. But sorry with all that power both cars 1/4 times should be better. ESPECIALLY the Challengers lol.

I think he needed a little driver mod. I just feel like all the cars on that show run a lot slower then they should in the 1/4?

Great looking Camaro though man

RaiderSS · 05-07-2011, 08:44 AM

Way to rep! But both looked a little slow in the 1/4, however Eric is an exceptional driver from the track footage. I bet he could have been a little more agressive on the ski course but a consistant driver was all that was needed against an SRT.

jeSSe · 05-07-2011, 10:44 AM

Way to show them Mopar lovers whats up.

Bond · 05-07-2011, 12:37 PM

Well represented sir!
Awesome run... and the car sounded great when you lit it up at the slalom!

ibznu2010 · 05-07-2011, 12:50 PM

Thats the same guy i raced at camaro5 fest 1 in valdosta, Ga. He ran 13.78 at 107.89 to my 13.48 at 105.76. I have Auto camaro. Way to go there on the win.

Erik@Torq · 05-07-2011, 12:57 PM

I cannot believe they misspelled CamAro, I mean how hard is it to spell anyways?!

Great Job Eric!!!

I know, they also managed to misspell my last name. Cederberg turned into Derberg or something haha

Thanks man!

Thanks so much!

In short:

Torq Ported Heads
Torq Custom Cam
Kooks Headers w/ cats
MBRP Cat-back
LSR Intake

Pfadt Adjustable Coil-overs
Pfadt Trailing Arms
Pfadt Sway bars
Pfadt Diff bushings
Pfadt Adjustable Toe-rods
Pfadt Spherical control arm bushings

Brembo 6-piston caliper upgrade kit

A great package that really allows me to do these 5000 mile trips in comfort and still kick a$$ at the track

We invited them to the first Camaro5 Fest and he is a great ambassador for the Challenger.

You have your Camaro set up fantastic and really have the experience behind the wheel. I feel the Camaro may still have won, but I would have loved you guys to switch cars and do the event again...

Congratulations Erik! You are the man !!

Thank you Speedster for the kind words. Jeff is a great guy and I hope to meet him again at future events. Very down to earth and again, he has a sick car!

I would have loved to at least tried the Challenger for a lap or two, just to see how the whole kit felt on track.

Hope to meet up with you soon!

I know I need a lot of driver mod, but drag racing is new to me so I am learning every day!

Thanks!

That is true, I could have been more aggressive. But they actually didn't show my fastest time, I guess just to make it more fun for TV. Jeff had 2 clean runs without hitting any cones as well. I just wanted to be consistent and not knock any cones over myself

Z28RockStar · 05-07-2011, 12:58 PM

DUDE BRO MAN BRO DUDE! Nice run, pretty cool the Challenger guy was a good sport!

Orange Krate · 05-07-2011, 05:14 PM

OUTSTANDING! Superb driving. There is a definate benefit to having an age edge with better reflexes.
