If they were gonna make it so heavy they should at least have given it four doors and a trunk that you could get a suit case into. At least I can justify the weight on my family cruiser.

Camaro camera is a digital camera - Sony Cybershot DSC-H1
The dash cam in the TA is an Epic Stealthcam. It's just a tiny cam you can mount anywhere. Quality is marginal, but it frees up your hands for things like rowin the gears
Nice video. The 413hp some are bashing,it's all in the set up of parts. My ls1 started at 370hp with h&c,(low power)then I ended up with 463hp 414tq from my h&c set up before I went with a 402ci. Nice video,and that camaro is a fat girl. I have no clue why gm keeps making the cars so heavy. Now,why did the camaro seem to hold in the 3rd run got got smoked bad in the other two?

The 3rd run was from a higher roll so the SS hooked and caught traction. The first two just got loose since they were from such a slow roll. The DR's on my TA just hooked and launched each time....
Where did you get that from? 500lbs in weight reduction is worth a hell of
a lot more than 50rwhp. 50hp is nothing really. That's damned near half
a second off your ET for a 10 second car. 50rwhp isn't going to do that.

They say for every 125lbs of dead weight = 10hp. That is what I've heard.
if they raced to something like 140 or so ( if thy had the room) it might have looked like a different race. something like a 60-160 run would have erased at least some of the traction issues either car might have had. either way it was a great vid and that TA sounded great.
