Ok, so most people, including me, usually post about how they won a race or something. This is not that kind of post. This post is about how I lose every single time to my best friend's v6 Automatic Camaro. It has taken me a long time to fess-up. I want answers and comments if you got'em.
My best friend has a 2001, v6, automatic, Camaro with only flowmaster exhaust and 18x9.5 Z06 rims (picture on my page 5 of my website I think).
I have a 2001, v6, automatic, Mustang with true dual flowmaster exhaust, Cold-air-induction, T-lok, 3:73 gears, diablosport programer, and 42%underdrive crank pulley, underdrive waterpump pulley, an optinal 50 shot of nitrous when I have it with me(only use it for the track), and 18x9 FR500 rims. A lot more mods.
We like to race ricers mostly but often we race each other.(I spanked a Turbo Talon from a stop last Saturday, Whoo Hoo!!!) When both of our cars were stock I lost whether it be from a stop or a 40 roll, by about 4-5 car lengths. I blamed it on his posi differential, and better gearing. His car won't spin the tires powerbraking, he can hold the brake and rev it all the way to 4000rpm if he wants to launch at it, me 1500rpm max and I start spinning. Now I have all these modifications and I still lose. Why? It is pretty much even at launch now but he pulls away and then he stays ahead by about 1.5-2 car lengths of me until the end. What makes his almost stock Camaro beat me. It can't possibly have that much more power than me. Is it the weight difference? Please give me advice or bestowe upon me some knowledge.
