Thacker's Camaro vs WishIwuzFast Neon - Video

[ILOVEKIDDRACING]

He called me out, so we got to it.

Met with him at the spot and he brought a friend.

Friend road in my car so we could film.
Camaro = driver + passenger Neon = Driver

Neons mods are really unknown. he's got a ton of bolt ons, intercooler etc. He will have to chime in if he feels like telling his mods. His car pulls damn good for what it is.

I was granny shifting pretty hardcore in the video, still having slave cylinder issues. Will prob have to pull it out and swap it pretty soon.

First run is a 20-25 punch. It was pretty brutal. Camaro hooked up good and the neon couldn't.

Next run was a 40 punch. I delayed on his honks to make sure he got a good start. I only pull .5 - .75 cars to 115.


I popped my hood and showed him the nitrous was disconnected. I didn't even take my bottle with me. I am changing out to a window switch and fuel pressure safety switch so that should be done soon enough.

Neon popped his hood but I didn't know what I was looking at.

Now where are the rest of you kiddies?

Edit. Here is the second video wishIwuzfast was upset I didn't post. In this run he honks 1......2.3 and takes off. He got a sizeable jump from a 20 punch. I nailed it, spun... and still caught him and passed him. I didn't post it originally because to me, it makes his car look very slow. With a .5 second jump, and my car spinning I shouldn't have been able to come around him like I did. Oh well, you wanted it.. .here it is.

Good runs and gratz to you Thacker, for finally finding a race out of today, lol.

All and all I bet it was fun on both parts.. and that's what it's about.

That wasn't a race, it was just fucking around. A real race will be my car from a dig on the juice. My car sucks on motor, and it sucks from a roll.

No offense to your neon, but my camaro is slow as dog piss. It's 4.11 geared for a dig, suspension for a dig, and the motor is built for the juice.

[wishiwuzfast]

my mods are

mopar stage 3 kit....aka 39lb turbo upgrade....running 22psi
mpx fmic
motor mounts
greedy rs bov
perrin sri
3inch turbo back exhaust

most cars with similar setups dyno 320-350 range

fun runs... wish i had slicks on like the camaro..... help me aaaaalot..lol
love the cam on the camaro though ...sounded sick ....i got to get cams for the neon

[wishiwuzfast]

s.h.i.t.....camaro is alot quicker than the goat man....and if you call a 11 second car slow....shit i can wait to see it fast

[wishiwuzfast]

hey man post the other videos

[03RCode]

I'm sure Thacker could agree to come to BugDay at SDR on the 29th. Be a good place to settle it.

Umm.. He would never show up at a track.

I thought he was the one always bitching about roll racing anyways. WTF is he doing going from a roll.

[Tech5]

he doesnt want to be BANNED AGAIN!

it's SDR dude. not commerce. I doubt he's even fast enough to get kicked out at commerce.

I think he meant banned from IA, not the track.

You a betting man?

agreed

I just wanted someone to compare the car to.

That was the first time I've taken the car over 6k rpms since I put it back together. If you notice I was short shifting in the video as my shift light didn't even come on. Power doesn't peak until about 6700 rpms, so running it out to the 7200 limiter would have put another car length or so on the Neon but I am still in "test the car and make sure its right stage"

It did ok for a few shake down runs.

[onebadgt]

good runs, the srt and the maro looked pretty close to me in most runs. the only part i thought was funny was thacker said he spun from a 40 roll, but he dead hooked from 25 and had slicks on a 320hp car and spun from 40 lol, but good runs guy!

The reason for spinning / not spinning was the tire heat. One of the runs was before the other one, so when the tires are cold even from a 40 they spin, but on the next race they hook.

Common sense would tell you on a cold night, tire heat makes PLENTY of difference... but you'd actually have to have something to race, and experience to have that knowledge.

[Tech5]

I say do a 60 or 80 roll an see how it comes out, under 60 neons are pigs they open up above 80

[1slowLt1]

How are you only making 321 horsepower with a cammed ls1. Thats stock/bolton territory???

I know a hotcammed car can see well over 350 to the wheels.

[Tech5]

thacker will never tell exactly what is done to it, that is the name of the game! say as little as you can and get away with it an beat some azz! BTW I am glad thacker is back on IA the Kill forums has been dead with out him!!!

That and you forgot the other trick. Always sandbag if you got the lengths.

[Tech5]

oh yea!

my buddy's 01 WS6 made 310rwhp on a Dyno Dynamics machine (the heart breaker). My car made 338rwhp on that same dyno, but then made 404rwhp on a dynojet. That puts his car somewhere around 350ish with only an intake and an electronic exhaust cut out.

Thacker also only claims to have a 50shot...I wonder if anyone actually believes that?

[1slowLt1]

Yeah, i know how it is, but i bet hes closer to 400 at the wheels without spray.

Nice cars though.

Def. Both are very nice cars.

[1slowLt1]

Im spraying 150 on a stock lt1, so im guessing he may be bending the truth a little on that to.

He could easily be spraying 200.

I'm pretty sure thats what he was spraying before his new lies.
