3rd gen kills a 4th!!

ok guys i had to share this stiry with you because this race was just intense. i wish i had a camcorder at the time because this 3rd gen was insane. ok so anywasy im cruising the rads where everyone races at and i see this bright yellow 3rd gen camaro pating the gas beside this 4th gen firebird then the light ahead turns red and i hear people on the side of the road screaming "its happening right here baby" i smiled because i knew the bird was as good as dead by the the camaro barked when he patted the gas but to make a long story short the light turned green the camaro let the firebird pull ahead a little bit then tromped the gas around 35mph and fistailed it through 2nd and 3rd and by that tiem it had about 3 buslenghts on the bird.

defently a race ill remember just wish i had a camcorder to catch it. also the camaro blew out black smoke when he tromped on the gas why would this be?

well if it was just a little black smoke it was probably just his carb going rich when he hit it but if it was like diesel cause it was so much and so black i couldnt explain that.

Its not uncommon for black smoke to come out of the exhaust at wide open throttle, the car is just running rich from all the fuel being dumped in.
