a few things, eddie

a> nice run. good launch!
b> whatcha running, and on what equipment? couldn't see your times or traps

The reason i ask - being both a jeep guy and an ss owner.. that jeep was asleep at the line, and didn't launch hard. I've driven both extensively, and the srt8's launch hard... sub 2.0 60 footers very common, and just brutal in general.. much more so than my ss (which is mostly stock, admittedly)

even my 5.9 jeep will outlaunch my ss. (but get quickly reeled in, obviously.. just comparing the launch)

Not taking it away from you. My assumption is that you're running something extra - be it DR's, mods under the hood, etc...

stock for stock though - having driven both.. i can't see that happening unless the jeep fell asleep.

Eddie is bone stock. Pretty good driver too if you ask me.

But that guy in the jeep obviously had no idea what he was doing LOL

and neglect to post a times or a slip when asked repeatedly, but still continue to boast about your kill.

to "fast" Eddie!! All hail the one who has tamed the bone stock 5th Gen SS Camaro. You can outdrive anyone on here

Newest, most efficient mod for your Camaro.... "fast" Eddie. He can outdrive top fuel dragsters in his bone stock Camaro.
