Esprit V8 vs Tuned Camaro SS

[996gt3rs]

Check it out guys, its on putfile so I dont know how long it will be up. The first clip is crap but the second shows how much faster the esprit is.

Even racing the american way (i.e. no corners) the SS still has no show.

Isn't that Allanlambo vs Camaro SS which has run 11,9@1/4mile. Although in that video that Camaro doesn't look like 11,9@1/4mile fast Or then it's just that angle...

Even the following / film car is out pulling it

Driver error on the second run. If you notice he gets a lot of wheel spin when he nails it. First race is much closer but the Esprit still wins.

Yeah - the first race doesn't look so good for the V8!! He only just 'has' it

oh....I guess most people in here don't know much about modern muscle cars..

actually, from late '80s, the more popular is to tune Buick Grand National....(runs much faster than Camaros or TransAm cars)

**someone mentioned the camaro runs 11sec in 1/4miles

(well, Buick Grand National can run under 10sec easily **for street legal)

it's very hard to get the Camaro to go under 10sec for street legal

True, out of the late 80'sthe GN and Turbo Trans Ams were some of the fastest cars. I also agree that it is easy to get more power out of those turbo sixes but not enough to get you into the 10's. I'm sorry but a 10 sec GN is not very streetable unless you have a low boost and a high boost setting, but then that wont net you a 10 sec timeslip on low boost. You could also get and automatic LS1 powerd Camaro or Firebird with heads, cam, small nitrous shot, high stall torque converter and sticky tires into the 10's. Simple combo, but again, not very streetable.

As for the camera car, it appears to be either Z06 corvette or a modified LS1 'vette.
