Re: 2 Iroc's crash an SVT Meet(Surprise ending)

Best video ever. I can die happy now. (wipes tear away)

I got an 01 SS donor car for my 92 and i've been getting some friendly hazing from my mustang buddies. especially the one who is shopping for a terminator. This video makes me feel a lot better.

although there is a guy here in this small town with a 700+ rwhp terminator. I don't think i'll be any match for him. I'm glad he's cool.

Also wonder if the supercharger was started to get some heat soak. If you notice in each race he gets weaker and weaker. First race cobra had the lead and wasn't giving it up but by the last one he couldn't hang near as well.

It was very close. The Cobra had a passenger and the Iroc was spinning through the gears on street tires.

Terminators heat soak bad. They're still cool cars; it's just the nature of the beast. They can go into limp mode on roadcourses after 5 laps or so on tough tracks.
