for a quick recap...i totalled my 12 sec iroc-z28 and ended up getting a 1999 SS camaro...

took her down for some grudge match racing on wednesday night and was more than impressed. first pass i just did a dry-hop and didnt bother getting the tires hott, had a .547 reaction time,she spun a bit off the line and ended up rollin through the traps at a 13.57. My second pass i got the tires plenty hott and had a .522 light. she didnt spin one bit and ended up runnin a 13.23. My last pass for the night i had a .513 light with a quicker 60' time but ended up missin 3rd gear and sent the motor to the moon, i didnt even bother looking at the timeslip i was so pissed off.

now that thats out of the way i have to address a belief of mine. although there are no import freaks in here, i believe that they are the reason for the fall of the long lived camaro. as fred gibbs once said 'teenagers make cars... what they want, we build' keeping that in mind...how many teenagers now a days do you see rollin around in newer camaros, mustangs firebirds etc.
and no, im not forgeting the money issue, but a majority of the kids that can afford beautiful machines end up wasting it on 'nos' and 'cold air' and 'body-kits' and other shit that makes a honda look more hidious than ever. while at cecil county dragway on wednesday night the only impressive 4-banger i saw was a 1998 honda civic runnin on nitrous and he was more than proud when he posted a 14.32 e.t.

keep in mind...this kid was all decked out with his $400 watch, $200 shoes, a wanna-be brittany spears girlfriend, and the whole bit. but COME-ON its a damn civic with not even half the amount of motor i have and he probably has more money in after market parts than i bought my whole car for. but...i guess ill never figure out why they killed a once living legend, the camaro.
