guy with 1000hp camaro wants to race me

[Zoinks!]

Also, if I were you, I'd do it on a 3 lane+ hwy, if it's goin down on the street. If he's never had that kinda power before, chances are you'll eat his arse up cause he'll be in the wall. BE CAREFUL that much power is nothin to just play around with. It's a dangerous weapon if you don't know what you're doin. Especially if he stock or even 9" wheels. He needs at least a 10" wheel. 10.5 would be better. I've been inside a 550hp mustang on hwy roll with a turbo civic. We started at 65 and were spinnin all the way up to 115. That was with a 285 tire on the back. Imagine what double the power would do to a smaller, or even the same size tire. Make sure he's got some big mofo's on the back of that thing.

Well, I'm not an expert but someone putting 1000hp to the ground on pump gas is hard to believe. It can be done but not easily and is very expensive. I have had 2 Camaros in the 400hp range and I had some issues running pump gas but mine were not turbo, they were N/A. Back to the point, be careful!! You will be hard pressed to take him on a rolling punch if the car is setup right. Like the others have said, see if you can get him to run at a track instead of the street. Is his car setup for the strip or for top end? If it is for the strip, he will be hard pressed to break 160-170 i think. If he has highway gears, he might just walk you. As far as running without cans, I think you loose low end but gain a little on the top end. The experts here could tell you more I'm sure. Either way, I think running him for anything more then just fun and on a track would not be worth it.

It's very easy to pull 1000hp out of a camaro or mustang on pump gas. It just takes money. Go the TT route and you'll have it pretty easily. Like I said, it's expensive, but if you have the money, it's easy to do. I've seen plenty of kits for sale, and cars with them on it that are pushin 1000+ on 93 octane. You're right in what you said about the N/A stuff. You'd be very hard pressed to get that kinda power out of an N/A engine on pump gas, but turbo and TT is a whole nother ball game. Oh, and by the way, they'll fly. There's a 1000-1200hp supra runnin around here that can run with turbo busas. . . Good luck, but I'm givin this one to the camaro as long as he's got the rubber, suspension, gear and driving skills to do it.

You can do this on E85 pretty easily... (got shots of a full size ford van running low tens at 120MPH)

sheesh completely lost track of when the F body cars "went away" been 5 years already? shame the new one looks so bad in photos... hope it is better in real life.....

Yep thats one drawback to dig racing...high hp cars combined with inexperienced throttle jockeys and lack of traction can get ugly quick. I've seen it....a little scary sometimes. We had a local guy with a pumped up F-body that didn't understand the connection between the throttle and traction. Every time he ran I could barely watch

We rode him to install a cage...he finally did. It saved his life. A few weeks later he barrel-rolled his stang bad....got hurt but lived and didn't kill anybody else

Yea, the only reason he kept in it like that was cause it wasn't HORRIBLE wheel spin, and was still accelerating hard. We had gone once already, but he went from a diff gear and didn't spin at all, so that's why he punched it so hard on the second run. But like I said, it wasn't a huge amount of spin, and he is a good driver and was keeping it under control without a problem. Nasty fast car. That was de-tuned, as well. It was still on the break in callibration. . . Hadn't gotten it tuned yet. It was a built SOHC 4.6 with PI intake. He never would say what cam he had in it, but it wasn't huge cause you would never know from the idle that it had anything in it at all. The turbo was a T70 with air to air intercooler. A little bit of weight reduction and dropped the gear from 4:10 to 3:73 when he swapped out the solid rear axle for IRS.

1000whp car getting gapped with only 370hp. It would of been way worse if the bike was lowered and stretched a bit more. Could get way more agressive with the boost ramp.

Well, I took on a dodge demon roll on at about 80 and we stayed even. I'm stock and demon I think is 750hp, not sure if at wheels, more than likely advertized HP is usually at the crank, so about 675HP or so. So, yes 1000HP either at crank, at the wheel, no chance for you! If he can grip the pave, more than likely at 80MPH he can, he will take you, chew you up and vomit you!!!
