This is why you are confused, i already stated that the buddies that stopped were not the buddy i had riding shotgun. The buddy in the car with me has a CSRT4 that is blown up at the moment the other buddies i referred to were driving a procharged Z28 and a nitrous z06. I already stated that in like the 3rd post.
As for the GoPro, its rather hard to see the LCD screen on the front at night and the GoPro is new for me let alone he who has never used it. I also stated it was on but when i clicked the button to record it turned on in camera mode and not video where i turned it off at. Ask anyone that has a GoPro, even though its suppossed to come back on in the same mode, it doesnt like 60% of the time. As you can tell from the story there wasnt a lot of time to explain what the icon looks like and go through the workings of the GoPro.

It is what it is. I dont make **** up, i have posted more kills with video than 90% of the people on here, win or lose. Car is procharged and i dont doubt it makes the power he said. All of the local guys go to reckhart performance here and everyone knows what everyone dynos. Car made the power, now maybe there was some driver error but the car does make the power.
Now the car that was at the meet that didnt make the power he claimed was the supercharged C6z06, which the car that i raced beat. That C6 claims 975hp.

Other than that good races :P.

our point about him having a fast car is what? My camaro would have trained my cobalt even at 600hp. I already said he told me and my buddy what it had and made the power claim in front of the guy who owns reckhart performance, so it probably made that power. Now if he can drive it for **** I don't know, then again I've already said this though.

Now see this is what I don't get. A supercharged c6 z06 even with a stock bolt on kit should put buses on a 550 whp supercharged c5. The c6 has better areo, better gearing, and better suspension to give it better grip. So dunno maybe those are some broke ass vettes around there lol.
Other than that good races :P.

I think videos should be a requirement in this section from now on. Gets old logging on and reading about bolt on and fairly mild turbo swapped Cobalts putting buses on mid 500 whp cars. Or make a thread for kill stories lacking proof or reason.

And yeah no video as the gopro was facing the wrong way but in the sound you can hear him catch back up after i lift. He even admits as much and it was a damn good race with him jumping out as i probably should have grabbed 2nd, but i ran his ass down. Ill get it on video next weekend with it setup as we both live in the same area. Ive posted vids on here win/lose/draw and never had a single amount of bullshit, people that are calling BS dont know my posts or anything about how racing on the street works.
For example this truck trapping 129 spinning its ass off (which btw ill be racing next week in case people want to call BS on his trap speeds from that race) got his **** pushed by a buddies Z06 on a 150 shot and a heads/cam only. Should he have? No, but something wasnt working 100% and the truck was getting killed by like 10-15 cars in 2 gears. **** happens on the street and it is what it is.

Here is the race, truck on spray barely held off the Z06 on motor alone where it only makes like 440-450whp. Something was up but still a loss to the truck that should have walked him.

I know this is random, but the reason the gopro comes on in photo mode after you left it in video mode is because you held the button too long when turning it on. Took me forever to figure this out on mine. Just push it firmly once and let go. It will take a second but will come on and stay in the mode you left it in. Then you won't have any problem proving your kill stories...

hahaha!! I used to get so mad at that thing cause it would always pop up in camera mode after I shut it off in video mode. I felt pretty dumb when I accidentally figured it out one day. lol!
