Well, i got off of the interstate and came up to a red light and pull up behind a white newer model camaro...well, sit there and think this is a camaro i could get him, well light turns green, i go as hard as i can and that camaro left me, badly...but then i get up to about 85-90 and he is doing 55 at the time....oh well....i guess i could say baaad turbo lag on an N/a car...haha...anyone ever beaten camaros?

You never will beat a Camaro as long as that Camaro is one of the last gen ones with the 5.7L V8. Hell, even the last of the V6 cars had more than 200hp on tap. While gear ratios, reaction time, and traction all matter in a drag race, power to weight ratio is (IMO) the biggest factor.

Better luck with the late seventies or early eighties cars. They were dogs, and even the V8 versions were hardly fast due to the fact that at the time, engine controls were in their infancy and none of the major automakers had yet figured out how to get good emissions performance along with higher compression. So, they offered cars with low compression and broad fuel and ignition timing settings.

85-90mph on surface roads........some people never learn.

not much you can do about it. if only they would realize what kind of danger they're putting themselves and others in. you hear a lot of people say "but i'm a good driver. i know what i'm doing". that may be so but you have to take into consideration what the other idiots around are going to do.

....agreed that the ONLY place to race is on a track. We've talked about this many times before. But, you guys have to admit that recent 5.7L Camaros would waste even heavily modified Proteges in a race. It is possible to build a Protege that will be quicker. But from what I have seen, virtually no one has.

Ok, before you blow your top i didnt UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE stay at that speed for long amounts of time once i realized he had quit and i was going to pass him, i slow down the the 85-90 was maybe a split second then coasted down to about 65-70..

Roddimus Prime

there always some sort of logical excuse as to why it's acceptable for you to do 90mh on public roads.....

oh wait, there's not!


p.s. I'm not "losing my top"...I'm just tired of telling 16yr old kids that driving 90mph on surface streets is going to get someone killed someday. It's like beating a broken drum, you're just wasting your energy.

Being the owner of a heavily modified 5.7 liter (LT1) I can vouch that these cars stock run 14.3 or so around 96 mph

Right now I have my car running 12.1 @ 115 and I'm currently building a fully forged 383 stroker that should get it into the low 10s, high 9s

four more cylinders lots more gas=lots more power=lots more dumb looking economy car drivers who try to race them.

i beat a v6 one before, they are fairly slow, the v8's on the other hand are beasts.

hahahaha!!, well, another Acura goes down crying today, There is a guy at my school who drives like an 03-04 Acura RSX manual, well, he has raced my freind(who owns the fast *** CRX) the CRX has smoked this RSX, however the RSX has smoked a Civic hatch 1.5ltr, anyways, RSX Idiot tries to test out his handling and driving abilities in a parking lot one day after school in other words wreckless driving well my Stepdad (who is a cop) stopped him and gave him like a 150 something dollar ticket, I thought it was funny because the next day at school someone ask him about it and he was laughing about it they were like what did you get a ticket for? he says laughing Wreckless driving..I walked by and grinned because i knew about what his Dad did...took away his car....hahahah......its sad really...im the one posting about speeding and stuff and both my parents are cops and it ends up the one day someone else tries their luck and they get caught...it doesnt make sense..now....DIE THREAD DIE!!
