If the stang had a JLT Big Air and a tune, it would have been different. That's just my opinion. Nice racing though.  |
The CAI does help. Pure stock the CTS V was 458 rwhp @ 6,200 rpm (factory rev limiter) after tune only it made 491 rwhp @ 6,550 (483 rwhp @ 6,200). After adding the AIRAID CAI it made 515.6 rwhp @ 6,550. I power shift (no-lift shift) @ 6,600. I admit I probably drove a little better than the GT500 although his .304 light was not bad. I have been drag racing stick shift cars since 1964....so a little experience. I realize the driver mod can make a real difference.
Here's another example from a year ago with my SRT-10 Ram....A guy from the LA Area was challenging my friend (who shot the video of my CTSV vs the GT500) who has a GT500 (2011) with his new Z06(LS7) with drag radials. The Z06 driver had a license plate that read "SN8K KLR". He wanted my friend's fender "cobras" if he won the race. My friend declined, so I said "why don't you run my truck, it's got a Viper engine, that's a snake" . He said the truck had no chance...it wasn't a fair race. I said you'd be surprised...and his friends said "Race the truck". They are the ones who shot the video below. Anyway he had a .728 RT to my .017 RT and he had a 12.59 ET @ 119+ to my truck's 11.67 @ 118, so I won by over 15 truck lengths.....but I know there will be guys who chime in and say a stock Z06 will run low 11's (which is true) but this guy didn't and neither did the GT500 guy against my CTS V.
