    raced a ZL1 Friday...

    raced a new Camaro ZL1 and that thing was nice. two runs on the highway. first run we went from about 50. i started in 3rd. at about 90 he started to pull away from me. 2nd run we went from 50, but i started in 2nd. i was right beside him all the way through 4th gear, then he started to pull. i forgot the exact specs on that car, but when i got home and saw 580 hp i was even more impressed with the 5.0. would have kept battling, but there were a lot of cars on the highway and wasnt trying to kill anybody.

    Nice runs! Did you notice a big improvement with the Bama tune?

    Good runs! Yeah I been wanting to run a black one that lives around me and we can't seem to meet up. He said i'm gonna look good in his rearview mirror, and I said you better be able to beat me cause you have more cubes and a power adder, but your gonna know I was there....Biotch! LOL

    i have 3.55s and the bama tune is definitely a huge improvement. my tuner is broke though right now so i am stuck with the mid grade tune, but that wouldnt have made me beat him. that pushrod v8 does sound gorgeous, there is no denying that.

    and not too sure what the BS flag is about....but she was racing alright.

    Now you want to modify your car from stock just so you can keep up?
