Raced that Monte Carlo SS Posted By: hurley_21_07 On: 03-19-2010 @ 01:24:55 Reply | Edit I went into the race thinking I had it for sure. I had less weight, more power, and RWD.... And did it ever pay off. 
Recap of my night: After school I dropped off my gf at her house. I then went home. Later on I went to my gf's hosue again and hung out there for a while...I then decided to go to town to find the guy who has the Monte Carlo SS because we were supposed to race tonight. I have about 1/4 tank of gas...I waited to fill it until after the race...well I never found him and didnt have a charged cell phjone with me to call him. So I fill up my gas FULL and go home. When I get on here my gf tells me he just called her looking for me. So after about a SECOND of wodnering if I shoudl bother going back at 10:30 I did. I have a full tank of gas now and was kidn of upset about that.
THE RACE: I get to our meeting spot..I tell him to pop the hood to make sure it wasn't supercharged..he wasnt exactly sure because it was his moms car, all stock. We wait to make sure NO traffic is coming down teh road(about a mile visibility.)..so we pull out and get to the spot where we race to a bridge ROUGHLY 1/4 mile away. I am honking...brake stand to about 1400-1500rpms...he is going from a dead stop no "launch". Third honk and I giver hell and pull immediately off the line. I heard him chirping off the line but he caught after a second if even that. Going up to 60 I pulled, and pulled. When I felt the car shift when it always does at 75 he was in my rearview...I am GUESSING 2 no more than 3 cars back. Summary... Over the past week or two him and his friends kind of "implied" the SS was gonna eat me alive. One of my friends who rags on my car said I would get killed. Well I raced him with a full tank of gas and with the shifter in OD(It does help with shift points). 2-3 Cars on him by about 90. I am proud of Cammie.

Posted By: fabgmc4me On: 09-17-2005 @ 15:16:28 Reply | Top | Edit When I started reading this post I was wondering who the fukk would think a Monte SS (Even a supercharged one) could beat a 97' Camaro. I totally forgot that some people on here have V6 cars. But anyways, glad to see you beat him. --  Posted By: FormAndFunction On: 09-21-2005 @ 19:27:26 Reply | Top | Edit Yeah, we get forgotten about, but I suppose thats to be expected. Not as many people who own V6's are into modding when compared to the V8's by far. And good kill, by the way.

My stock Grand Prix GT 3.8 ran a best of 15.58. From what I've seen a stock 3.8 Fbody runs around low 15's, and you're not stock. That thing should really fly after you do those "winter mods"  Keep us posted on the results and keep those kills coming.

I live 5 minutes away and have never ran there...does that make me ungrateful? (lol) --

Posted By: RedScreaminMachine On: 10-12-2005 @ 19:21:59 Reply | Top | Edit 8angrypistons, yeah I make the trip down to E-town a couple times a year. Usually I run up at Lebanon, but E-town is so much nicer. The only problem is that it's an hour farther away then Lebanon is. This winter sometime a couple of us are gonna make a trip to Atco (seeing as how they are the only track open in the winter, lol). We'll be meeting a couple other members down there when we do. You should definitally meet us there when we go! -- Red 2002 Camaro Z28 M6 with Hurst shifter, T-tops, Leather, 12 CD Changer Ram Air Scoop, SLP Lid, K&N Filter, Smooth Bellow, Borla Exhaust, Dynatech Long Tube Headers, High-Flow Cats, TB bypass, BMR Adjustable Torque Arm, BMR Rear Lower Control Arms, Nitto Drag Radials; 344 RWHP @ 5350 RPM, and 356 RWTQ @ 4650 RPM; 12.55 @ 111.5 mph with a 1.92 60' Posted By: 8angrypistons On: 10-13-2005 @ 00:47:24 Reply | Top | Edit I'm definitely down...all you gotta do is 1) meet later than my clutch break-in period (installing it this monday) and 2) let me know the exact date at mightymightyz28@optonline.net That's all you have to do!

Power would be against you, but you have the advantage with weight and RWD. Too bad you don't have an LS1, then you could beat anything including the space shuttle. (I heard they aren't very fast.)

 Posted By: RedScreaminMachine On: 10-13-2005 @ 07:45:24 Reply | Top | Edit I'll definitally let you know. It is gonna be later in the winter (probably around January). I have to fix up my trans and get a new clutch as well. number 1, don't see him beating a stock GTP as his car is now. They run high 14's stock. The very best I've ever seen from a stock 3.8 fbody if 15.0, but they pulled some weight, pulled the belt and pulled the air filter. Average time are closer to 15.4-15.8. Once he gets his winter mods done then he'll be smacking stock GTP's around like nothing! -- Red 2002 Camaro Z28 M6 with Hurst shifter, T-tops, Leather, 12 CD Changer Ram Air Scoop, SLP Lid, K&N Filter, Smooth Bellow, Borla Exhaust, Dynatech Long Tube Headers, High-Flow Cats, TB bypass, BMR Adjustable Torque Arm, BMR Rear Lower Control Arms, Nitto Drag Radials; 344 RWHP @ 5350 RPM, and 356 RWTQ @ 4650 RPM; 12.55 @ 111.5 mph with a 1.92 60' Posted By: hurley_21_07 On: 10-13-2005 @ 17:33:22 Reply | Top | Edit 
But If I end up buying an LS1 the proiject will be scrapped. If not really really slowed down. P&P would still be done probably though. Dan -- || 30th Anniversary Camaro 3800II A4 || Silver Sixxers! || See My Baby

Posted By: RedScreaminMachine On: 10-13-2005 @ 19:18:47 Reply | Top | Edit Yeah, the SSEI's are supercharged, but very heavy. I'd definitally see you smacking one of them. I did see an article once, where they tweaked an older one into the mid 14's with minor mods though. -- Red 2002 Camaro Z28 M6 with Hurst shifter, T-tops, Leather, 12 CD Changer Ram Air Scoop, SLP Lid, K&N Filter, Smooth Bellow, Borla Exhaust, Dynatech Long Tube Headers, High-Flow Cats, TB bypass, BMR Adjustable Torque Arm, BMR Rear Lower Control Arms, Nitto Drag Radials; 344 RWHP @ 5350 RPM, and 356 RWTQ @ 4650 RPM; 12.55 @ 111.5 mph with a 1.92 60' Posted By: hurley_21_07 On: 10-13-2005 @ 20:08:11 Reply | Top | Edit The older ones were lighter though.
I wouldn't mind driving on at all though. Lots of buttons and are nice looking inside and out though! Dan -- || 30th Anniversary Camaro 3800II A4 || Silver Sixxers! || See My Baby
