Default 86 Iroc-z vz 09 Zr1

This is the second set of races between our cars first set were all too close to call. 3 races this night the 2 major ones in the video. You are riding in the Zr1 in the video.

09 Zr1 stock

86 iroc N/A 360ci th400 4:10 gear

First race is not in the video i pulled a car. Zr1 hit the limiter in a gear being the only reason i pulled ahead like i did.

Second race is the first in the video in my opinion we were dead even when i went up on the rev limiter but i held it there too long and he pulled ahead. Listen to him shift!


We decided it was 1-1 so a third race was in order i turned the rev limiter up because i thought for sure i could pull him up top. You are all prob laughing and i would be too if i didn't know my car. He iced his engine down for about 30-45 minutes and i taped lines off on my car messing around.

Third race: I started about a half a car back because i didn't get lined up in time(my fault) and when he hit it his TC came on. I think both mistakes canceled each other out evening out the start because the race continues like all our previous races (damn close) until the magic happens..........

Thanks to Stan at Engineered Victories in Davison MI for a sick setup that always runs consistently.

Look for the rematch with Zr1 having a few boltons

Thanks man, You mean the iroc has more top right? You are looking at the iroc in the video the camera was inside the Zr1.

Trouble your not kidding he will have prob 100+ more to the wheels It will prob put 8-10 cars on me is my guess.

Camera is inside the Zr1. The camaro is in the far lane in the first race and the Gallardo was used to start the race.

Limiter is usually set to 8,300 bumped to 9,300 for the last race in the video because it was so close.

I wanna see proof that is a ZR1 in the vid! Looks like a Lambo.

EDIT: Ok I can see now. Looks like the IROC is on the otherside of the yellow car, and I guess the ZR1 must be the camera car.
