23321, intake holdin me back...
Posted by 95eclipsegsna, May-18-02 11:22 AM
i cant pull on a v6 camaro with exhaust and intake - unless i focked my shift up and fell out of VTEC - one of the TWO but we were dead even i pulled maybe a 1/4 car by about 70 - i was like WTF - the camaro has exhaust, intake, and some other stuff and he is a 5sp - he could be a better driver - but i have a max speed short ram air intake - do you think it is holding me back?? - the stock intake would be better IMO

What year v-6 Camaro? The GM 3800 isn't a slouch, they have some power.

you should be able to pull on him, but it depends what model. i dont think the intake is holding you back. maybe hes got more mods than he told you?

^^ yup you have none. your car doesn't have balls till 5g's he's shifting at 6. you just need more power the 3800 has lotsa torque.

You could just sell that high top tennis shoe lookin thing, and get an MR2 turbo. Then you slide around corners using the gas pedal, not the e-brake! Also, you won't hear everybody telling you their neighbors car looks just like yours!!!
