I don't know what's more embarrassing.....the cars chute deploying before the race started.....or...... losing to a car with the chute open for the entire race. Lol
@@ernieangel8512 sandbagging is basically when you drive your car in a slower class, and you try to barely win. Its basically like being a heavyweight boxer, but claiming you are only a middleweight. Another example would be in Dragon Ball Z, Goku can hide/suppress his power level, in order to make people think that he isn't strong.
There is a word for it .... This was in Canada and Canadian boys do this shit all the time to each other ... And we do have a word for it, but only when it's successful.... Great word to, we call it " FUNNY ".. LMFAO
That's no longer a third Gen Camaro lol. It just looks like one. But yeah, I get the sentiment. They're fun when they aren't the 6cyl or beat to ever loving shit already
No kidding? I would have thought that gen would be heavier than FIRST gen. The second gen actually look the heaviest/based on appearance/aesthetics. I had an 86. It burnt a valve 2 weeks after I "signed up" to pay 8K for the thing. I test drove another one the day I purchased my 86. It was in alit rougher shape but it ran ALOT BETTER & had a 5 speed manual in it. If I had it to do over I would have bought the uglier one with the hurse purse & the 5 speed. The one I bought was very very beautiful. It was blue with gray ground effects & it had t - tops, it was a, Z28. The other one I test drove was like an 83 model RS, Camaro. I don't remember if it had t tops but it would spin tires in all 5 forward gears. It was also ugly AF. seems like it was primered gray & where the primer was flaking off, it had dull/matte black showing in patches here & there. Hindsight 20/20, I should have got the ugly one that ran like a raped ape. I got it with one thing on my mind & that one thing wasn't necessarily going, FAST. It would have been a great chick magnet but it ran like garbage & occasionally when you stop at a stop sign the engine would shut off & it would take FOREVER to get the P.O.S. to start back. At the time I didn't know 💩 about cars nor, engines. If I knew then what I know now Id still be picking up 🍑 in that old car. The body & paint was immaculate and so was the, interior. The car payment was 250.00 & the insurance each month was 255.00, set up for 8, years. The engine had a DEAD MISS just 2 weeks after I bought the car. I bought it "as is" when I was 18 or 19. I went outside and fired it up and went back in the house to finish getting ready to go to, work. Well, when I came back outside the engine had unalived & it was sitting there with the key "ON"/dash lit up like a Christmas tree. I tried to open the door & leave for work but the sumbiatch had locked me out. So, I rode into work with some friends & I NEVER revisited that car ever, again. I left that pile of 💩 right where it was parked, key "ON", doors locked, I didn't even go back to the car in an attempt to retrieve ANY of my keys. I reckon they repoe'd the dang thing coz I never heard anything else about it & someone came and took the mofo out of the, driveway. Later in life I bought a 86 trans am from a buddy at work that had been stolen & recovered. I paid 250.00 for just the body that had been sitting in the woods for 9 years with the hood open & the T tops, OUT! I bought a engine from another friend out of his 76 suburban for 200.00 & I dropped that 350 in there with HEI/4bbl set up. I didn't know anything about the trans that was in it, already? So, ready, set, go, I dropped that 350 out of that suburban off in there & drove the thing until I got bored with it. At some point in my childhood/teenage years I had picked up a 74, Camaro. It was set up for a manual trans and had a 3 speed manual, prior. I never put any engine/trans in that one coz it was badddd rusted out. The floors were gone, trunk was good shape, it didn't have any interior in it other than the dash & steering column. I paid 150.00 for that car, kept it behind my parents house for a few years & it turned that I just ended up scrapping it coz I got tired of looking at the P.O.S. It still had the plastic bits on the exterior that were all good. I should have sold some of the parts to get some of my money back from buying the thing.
@@ProdigyAutomotive thanks for sharing, brother. It's kinda difficult to NOT fall in love with an old GM. They have a distinct scent, naturally, that's likely safe to assume all GMs, share? Even my 96 4X4 blazer & my 92 S10 2wd smell like my old C10s, cutlasses, Camaros, and when my grandpa died I inherited his 73, 2 door Impala. That's typically my reference point for all of the other vehicles to smell similar to (natural BODY BY FISHER) that, ONE. *FOOD FOR THOUGHT* (Something I did not know) I leased a home from a man/landlord for 6+ years & he & I got to talking about old cars. (He's a real estate agent/had PLENTY MONEY.) This fucker tells me he is about to start building hissef a, "DONK?" I asked him what he's working with? He proceeded to tell me that he has a mid 90's, *Crown Vic.* Lawrid, as bad as I hated it? I had to rain on his, parade. For those of us who have turned to Google/RU-vid in an attempt to DEFINE what a "donk", is? Well, it a whole lot MORE "specific" than spindles & blocking up the rear, axle. A "DONK" is a 71 - 76 model Impala or, Caprice. Automobile Enthusiasts refer to these as a "DONK" because the Impala logo was referred to as a, "donkey", or a "DONK" for, short. Given the fact this was a man I went to high school with & our conversation took place nearly 2 years ago, he has SEVERAL noice project cars/builds, and I've yet to see any Crown Victoria parked in front of their real estate office where they park these projects from time to time. *Got me thinking* there's a SOLID CHANCE he may have aborted his "DONK" mission AFTER I "defined" what a DONK is for, him.. hehehe🤣🤣 I FEEL LIKE I did him a SERVICE, however. He would have sank some loot into that Crown Vic assuming he had build hissef a, DONK? When at the end of the day, it would still just have been an old, Ford. Fuggin' Owners Really Dumb My badd, I cut my teeth on old F150s, & my first "car" (I had all trucks, prior) was actually on old, Cougar. (Come to think of it?) Old Ford's have a distinct smell all of their own, as well. Thanks so much for your time, brother. I giggle inside every single time I see these cars rolling through car shows with KFC bucket wheels & likely you can ask their owners what they are, driving? And in their minds, they are allllll "donks." When in, REALITY, I dunno what a man would call those things? From my perspective, if it's not a 71 - 76, Impala/Caprice? There is ZERO REASON to be calling those things a, "DONK." ROTFLMMFAO. 🤣🤣🤣✌️
@@MrLouie1900 no it wasn't. They would've stopped it right there. DOn't make stuff up. I HATE that. It was a bet they made beforehand...that the car can still beat the other with the chute out. Watch the video next time.
@USAAMERICAFUCKYEAH77 That is one reason why I stay away from bracket stuff. In no prep, street racing, and grudge, you can run as fast as you want. It is all N/T, and as long as your tires and chassis meet the rules, let's race.
@@young11984 yeah but back in the days it's like a luchador only instead of the mask it was the hood . My great uncle will tell me how in those days you could have enough hp but. Tons of torque . He would usually beat cars with way more hp always told me skipping ain't gripping and spinning ain't winning. So his focus was on putting enough power but with tons of torque
@@USAAMERICAFUCKYEAH77 these days guys have 2-3-4000hp so power is not an issue, power management to get gown the track is what its all about and the data collection to read to dial it in
Guys. It’s a drag strategy. Pull the chute to let the drag wind pull the back of the car down therefore creating more traction. That was well played by the team💪🏻
