Just because I kept up with 1 383 doesnt mean I can keep up with all of them. Im sure if he had slicks it would be a whole different story. I do have a stock engine. I wasnt expecting much on my end but was surprised at the results of the race. I knew i wasnt gonna win from the begining. oh and I checked with the guy and it was a 97 383 lt1. I thought he had said 99..not a camaro guy but i can tell you the difference between a 97, 98, and 99 cobra.
