WTG!!!  :woo: That's a great run against a much more powerful car. New school didn't show old school much there!! Those are great numbers for that stroker motor!! I miss running the track!  :burnout:

I gotta say the gt500 needs rubber!! 2.2 60 ft times are bad,  12.11, seems a little slow, i bet you his trap speed is very close to 130. I hve seen these cars run well in the 10s at 135+ stock, but with slicks,and a good driver!!  Lethal performance has  a 13 gt5oo in the nines already. (open headers,slicks, and a good tune) with trap speeds in the 140+ range.

12.11 on street tires is pretty good.  Hard to hook up w/those.

2.2s sucks, but what can you do?

I hear that the GT500 has launch control; maybe he didn't know how to use it.

I too am interested in the MPH for both cars.  That shows true HP.
