On the interior view, look at the key in the ignition while he's sliding

Look at the side window when he gets up there

This is badass. I want to see a build sheet

It was a constant tire spinning mile that's insane. There's not one word that better explains that than, insanity.

What in the hell kinda gearing does that fast?

Hold shit @ the shutdown

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Well it was a manual car so probably just a rear end gear change?

I tried finding info on it....all I found was its twin turbo.

Also it's only 20 some mph slower then the fastest car which was that heffner TT ford GT.

Just some out dated push rod motor.

Looks like a wild ride. hahaha

Dude, tire shake on radials is no joke. I have had it bad before. Rattled my head good. My teeth and jaw hurt after it. Thought about wearing a mouth guard a couple of times. lol

20mph at 244mph is quite a bit...

It may be quite a bit, but thats a hell of a lot more than I could handle.

I think I would stop around the point where I'm spinning the tires (unlike the 3800 crew) over 100mph. I was in a vette on a 150shot that got sideways at 70mph on cold drag radials, and that was enough for me. F-that.

Regardless of all the $$ in this camaro I'd say a twin turbo GT has more in it. I'd say it's not too bad.

Oh and the official time of the gt is 253mph. Unofficial time is 266mph

I'm no expert but I'd say that camaros biggest disadvantage to the ford gt would be aerodynamics.

 

[10sec]

I would definitely say that plays a huge roll. I know this couldn't happen, but if you could take a Camaro SS to 244mph with some type of machine, the air resistance alone would probably rip the car apart They were never intended to be that fast haha.

 

[10sec]

I mean a stock one, with no modifications to the body to hold it together.

Wind tunnel!

 

[KagA152]

i just want 200

oh, and cool avatar Double D

 

[Handsome Jesus]

heh cool someone knows what it is about. I work for UOP, so it's fitting. I'm gonna get plates for the TR that have something to do with it.

end hijack.

oh and yeah, don't wanna be in that car sliding at 240mph

 

[StrobinSS]

I believe that the same car that had a blowout at the mile
