    Short ben is a fantastic driver, he was really whipping that camaro. I would have liked to see rally when it wasn’t wet and muddy, it would have been more legit but man that camaro should be easily pushing 450 to the wheels. Speaking from first hand experience those new edge mustangs are extremely slow and expensive to mod, 2v 4.6 puts no power down. Very surprised they went with one instead of an LS.

    the 4.6 2v is defiently not expensive to mod, yes it makes less hp then the ls no debate but you can get a turbo kit just as cheap for the 4.6 as you can for the ls1 and they can make good power for cheap and parts are dummy cheap too in general, also that GT has a way better rear end than the camaro it just all came down to how they spent the budgets.

    17:54 Ben, to answer your question, probably tens of thousands of $1 bets have been wagered on autocross runs. And every bill has a story 💸 Some people are so proud of their won dollar bills, they are never spent, but collected. They are often adhered to tool boxes, or even framed on the walls of the garage. A fun, cheap memory that will last a lifetime 😎 Fantastic video gents 🍻 Hope to run into you out and about 🏁

    Something was wrong with that Z28. It got through the 1/4 in 3rd gear ? Those 6spd cars have 3.42's . They also ran mid 13's. What did the turbo do ? Those are stock motor times. They should have used better tires

    Yeah I'm kinda baffled. Mine stock with nothing more than sticky tires ran a 12.9 in the 1/4 on my third attempt once I figured out how to launch it well. The LS stock produces anywhere from 285 to 310 at the rear wheels depending on year. This car should have been pushing at least 360-380 at the rear wheels conservatively in my opinion. And you are right tires make a hell of a difference. I don't know what the width of those C6 wheels they have are but I upgraded to 17x9 snowflake replica wheels specifically made for the 4th Gen fbody. First thing I ever did with mine is all the maintenance items on the car including replacing diff fluid and also replaced the tires.

    honestly do a season 2 of the American car challenge. Just with a bigger budget to fix the problems that they currently have. maybe idfk GET SOME GODDAMN BRAKES and TIRES. Also, if you need koni/bilstein shocks, springs and a Panhard bar for it hmu I'll give you "a real nice good good guy good friends of bens price." I'm trying to sell my firebird and haven't gotten to replacing it so yeah it would be cool to see it on the channel.

    Racers prayer: Lord I pray as we race today, Keep me safe along the way, Not just me, but the others too, As they perform the jobs they do. Lord I know that in a race, I, the driver set the pace. Let not my desire for more speed, Warp my jusdgement, turn to greed. From green to checkered guide me through, to give me the strength to know what to do. Remind me often in the race of life how to go with all the strife. Help me accept the wins I may receive and all defeats graciously. Ride with me, don't allow me to lag. Guide me through to the checkered flag. Ladies and Gentlemen, Start your engines!
