I just raced a Chevy SS truck and won by about 2 cars. It was as equal of a start as you can get. We raced until about 100 and I had him by 2 car lengths (at least) by the end. We gave each other a thumbs up and headed our seperate ways. By the look of his face he seemed pretty surprised. i had one passenger, it was on 528 in Houston and Alvin (those who know it know it's safe) and I'm completly sober (I have to work at 6 tomorrow). It was one of my favorite races though b/c it was so close up until about 65. What do those trucks run the 1320 in? I should be mid 14s. I'm pretty sure those trucks have a big engine that runs slower in hot, humid weather. Under better conditions it would have been a very close race, but I still think I would've had him.

BTW I have a 2k2 Auto with just a VB mod and heavier 18" wheels

 

I thought you meant a camaro those SS trunks are no slouch either with the 454.

 

I figured more people would read it if I just put "SS". Sorry for the deception

 

Yeah your right, thats the only reason I read. If I saw I raced a truck I wasnt gonna read

 

Was it the new SS truck? If so I'll give you some mag racer stats on it. C&D tested the new SS truck and it ran I believe a 14.6 @ 90. Full time 4 wheel drive etc etc....

 

These new SS trucks are supposed to be Chevy's answer to the Ford Lightning right?

 

they need too keep trying. C&D was saying its an everyday truck where as the lightening is useless in the bad weather etc...

 

That's kind of a low trap for 14.6. It was a nice looking truck though.

 

Ibtl .

 

good race!!! see that just shows you that you can't sleep on these trucks. they pack some power under the hood. hows the vb mod treatin ya matt??

 

....

 

yes, but it's not nearly as fast- but it has 4wd full time, so its much more practical than the lightning

 

Drop a Kenne bell twin screw on that SS and it will be a wicked hauler.....

 

yeah those new ss pickups are not slow at all.. high 14s to low 15s stock... they will be right with a auto maxima drivers race..

 

Initially it will hang but the Max will pull on it eventually it traps some 3-4 mph slower than the auto 02-03 Max. Im sure they will be some nice mods for it soon I'm sure.

 

7 years later.....

 

im surprized this thread never got deleted by the mods.

 

 

All wheel drive and very heavy. Had a customer with one, right out of the hole it was a beast, but by 65-70 it wasn't that quick.
