Were you at Hallsville? Thought it has closed down...

A lot of back seat racers in here . . the man won the race! Give him props! Michael Jordan lost a few games in his career did you guys know that? Bet those teams took the win too!

Its not so much that he beat him its the way he says he beat them. "beat a 5.0, love shutting those up" Then to go on and say that the 5.0 ran a 13.6 to his 13.2 neither of which are very good time for the car. Just the way he said it is laughable. I can understand if the 5.0 had been running his mouth and acting like he was the best driver ever, when the OP seems to be the one who is acting like a hard ass...I shut those 5.0's up, now I have bolt ons and can hang with a new gt500... IDK maybe Im just ready the way the OP meant it wrong.

People who buy the 5.0 must not know how to drive well. I raced a 2012 5.0 with my 2010 V6 LLT and left it behind me from take off. I'm full bolt ons and I know he wasn't stock.

I have the video for proof but its not forum friendly if you know what I mean.

Reason I did post that i beat 5.0 was because the guy was running his mouth and I shut him up. Neither of our times were good in 1/4 but its still a win. That and I want him to see my post on here just to rub it it. Yes Hallsville has been shut down for years to bad its a neighborhood with speed bumps now. We raced at Dallas raceway. When you run your mouth you gotta back it up. I did he didn't. I do get beat like everyone else. 6.2 vs 5.0 is driver mod no doubt. It always is really.

Why is everyone acting surprised? I've shut down two 2011 5.0s and a 2012 5.0 trac PAC CS in stock form. Y'all need to get off YouTube and actually race one... Overhyped.

Sometimes you just have to give the Devil his due and admit that there are cars out there that are as fast or faster than yours. I don't expect to beat every 5.0 when I go to Atco.

your right but i don't think he means that there aren't any cars faster than his he right you tube videos all show 5.0 being fast at the 1/4 mile but race one on the street and you will get another outcome

i always thought 5.0 we're really fast and way faster then my car cause of you tube lmao den i raced one and wow there a lot slower than they seemed online of course I'm header and super chip but still for just dose mods my camaro was way faster

Allow me to throw some facts into this thread. I have owned a 2011 GTCS manual 3.55 5.0 and now a 2014 GT 5.0 brembo pack. The 5.0 is a mid 12 second car STOCK. I have yet to meet a stock or lightly modded 5th gen that could keep up with me. Oh and the only mods my car had on the run Im about to show you was the DRIVER MOD.





And with a tune, the slip below is what I ran. Left lane ofcourse.



Now Im not hating or bashing 5th gens, but lets be real. The 5.0 is a couple hundred pounds lighter, and dynos about the same. And with the 3.55 or 3.73 gears, there is no catching one on the street or strip in a stock 5th gen.

This guy will beat all y'all. Watch out, I hear he runs 9's!
