Talking IT'S HERE!!

Well i got a suprise call today when my dealer called me and said my car had arrived, i thought he was bs'ing at first but he confirmed the vin right off the car and i drove up and sure enough my baby is in.

Finishing up the paperwork was torture knowing my car was just sitting out there, everyone at the dealership was huddled around it like some circle jerk i had to get my buddy that works up there to fend them off with a stick.

Anyways had my other buddy drive my 01 ss (mostly stock) up and down some back roads racing my new 5.0 and while i had an extra 250 lbs in the car with me and only 8 miles on the odo my old camaro was winning every race by about a half length once we got past 100.

couple of things before people start jumping off cliffs.

1. the car only had maybe 10 miles on the odo
2. i had an extra 250 lbs in the car (ford salesman who helped me fend people off)
3. that motor in my 01 ss dynoed at 330 rwhp stock (helluva underating)

i think it had more to do with the car not being broke in, after 70 miles i raced another friend in a g8 with cam and full exhaust and tune and had em (not by much) but still.

I can't figure out how to turn off traction control WTF..

Anyways all those races today except the g8 were caught on film and i will be posting them up later on tonight. (i have to go to a very important thing right now and will get back online tonight.

But until then enjoy this pic



I'll be posting vids tonight and high quality pics tomorrow.

Beautiful, but take the racing to the strip man! And I believe you hold the TC button down for 8 seconds to turn it off all the way...

Great to hear! And that's a nice looking car! The Kona Blue does look pretty nice on this car, even goes well with the Brembo rims. Look forward to seeing more!

Congrats on the car. Is this you on youtube? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2fo3KHupBM
By the way, to take the traction control off you should just have to hold the button down for 8-10 seconds; hope this helps. Now go back and stomp that Camaro!

Congrats .. but that isn't a GT/CS like it says under you avatar .... Looks like you went with the Brembo's instead.

I ordered a GT/CS, just a few days ago. The car in the video belongs to Bigjohns97 who started the thread.

Not sure how he beat you...

He said he was beaten once they went pass 100mph. The Camaro might have a slight areodynamic advantage with it's wedge like shape.

Check the video, it's a closer race than it should be.
