I thought it would be a closer race :/

Would an ZL1 stand a better chance than this?!

BRAVO 2SS · 06-23-2013, 12:24 AM

Interesting!

Evil-Bee-NH · 06-23-2013, 12:26 AM

think there's a huge weight difference. not to mention the ss seemed asleep at the wheel but that Nissan had sumthin else going on to just downright blow off the line like that. Maybe i'm wrong but Nitro possibly?

13.68 1/4 mile? That SS doesn't have anywhere near 640hp, not even 400.

Camaro_hx · 06-23-2013, 12:45 AM

the SS seems more like a stock V6 with SS body.

I was thinking the same thing ?!?!

Bolt on V6 vs GTR is more like it

MikeSVX · 06-23-2013, 12:58 AM

1. That looked a lot long then a 1/4 mile.
2. That was a crappy surface to run in. See how much the SS is bouncing when it's running alone?
3. Launch difference explained by AWD vs. wheel spin

lexlueger · 06-23-2013, 06:53 AM

You can hear the supercharger on the SS. This is what happens from a dig vs an all wheel drive car. A ZL1 would be decimated. Could the SS been better prepared, Yes. Ditch the 21/22 inch rims for starters.

DarkneSS · 06-23-2013, 07:07 AM

Giant heavy wheels + its a vert + no driver mod = no surprise here. If the owner was that dumb it probably had no where near 600 hp.

SUKXOST · 06-23-2013, 07:12 AM

agreed

motorhead · 06-23-2013, 07:54 AM

13.68 from a 640hp car. I call BS.

usafboy · 06-23-2013, 08:00 AM

At the end when it showed the winning times it stated GTR Cobb stage 2

The GTR is a tough car to beat really well worth the 90k.
