I urge all of you to pick up a copy of this months car craft and go to page 87 and see what car took the autocross win! thats right a thirdgen! It beat out high horsepower mustangs and vettes just goes to show how awsome the thirdgen platform can be.

 

I saw that article, too. It was nice to see some thirdgens in car craft again. Especially when they were hanging with the newer cars.

 

yes it was refreshing also reading threw this months hot rod and a thirdgen camaro now holds the land speed record for camaros at bonneville. John anglos camaro did a 269.959mph pass at the 3 mile thats insane! try to imagine going that fast in one of our cars lol.

 

I saw the CC article too. I was surprised to see how bad the stopping distance was of the one thirdgen with vette brakes. It was also interesting to see that a new Dodge Charger (or was it the Challenger...) can almost out brake a Lamborghini (difference was like 6ft). I want to be part of the next challenge but my dyno run would be terrible since I have a bone stock 305. I'll kick *** in the autocross!!

 

ya the braking surprised me too i almost wonder if he had something going wrong with them he should of had a better stop distance then that. once i get my rs done id love to enter too id enter my z28 right now but its pretty much a straight line runner wouldnt do to bad on the dyno but id be screwed in autocross lol.

 

Our cars are complete opposites. You have the power, I can turn really well. I'm hoping to get LS1 brake on the car in the early spring next year... can only hope.

 

ya im building the rs to be a blend of power and aggressive handling itll be my DD during the summer.
