Our cars have a tendency to block you out of the 1-2 shift at high RPM, If you have the time to, suck the brake fluid out of the brake master, put in some fresh fluid, cycle the clutch several times/maybe drive it and replace the fluid again. When I do this each time before going to the strip, I never miss the 1-2 shift. Otherwise it can be it or miss on the shift.

I think you got him by 2 tenths, unless he has a little surprise for you or is very experienced at the track.

So he talked smack to YOU... but now you've posted all over the innerweb how you're gonna embarrass him. Great for you if you do... but kinda makes you look like a dick if you don't.

Just sayin'...

definitely a drivers race, you have tires, a tune, and long tubes, which helped close the weight gap performance wise.

Sounds like the Dukes of Hazard reunion, ha. How about posting the race slips?

If the guy with the 5.0 has some drag experience, it doesn't bode well for us Camaro fans...
