EQT Golf R vs. SHO and SS Camaro

[Cliff p.]

Did a few runs last night because people don't believe in the R. Temps were really cold (30~33F), so my Indy 500's were struggling to keep the power to the pavement.



First video was my buddy's SHO on E30 tune. Mostly stock, just intake and tune.

Second video was with a new Camaro SS, and the same SHO.

Last video was against the Camaro SS again, he wanted a re-match because his traction control was off and he spun too much.

Sorry for potato quality. My passenger has the biggest POS phone out there. If he rides along next time, I'll make him use my phone.

Pretty epic beatdowns. That SHO sho does get off the line good.

The SHO does amazing considering it's boat status.



All of this with a mild tune, not yet completed.

damn that SHO sure did launch.. is he running the cop steelies?

 

[Benihana]

How much power are you pushing?

Nice runs.

People in the Q50 Red Sport thread need to take note of the SHO.

Nope, no cop steelies. They're 19" black alloys IIRC. Think he's on Michelin PS4S.

How much power are you pushing?

Not really sure. Ed puts it at an uncorrected 440-460whp as of last time I asked him but there have been a couple revisions. This elevation has been interesting to say the least.

Nice runs.

Thanks Q50 Red Sports are nice, but man that SHO made me nervous on launch when I couldn't hook fast enough. Sometimes it pays to be heavier.

I had an sho, dp’s and liverniose tune. It’d run 12.8s all day. For what it was, it was pretty quick. It definitely humbled allot of shit off the light on the street and I did run copper wheels lol

For the boat it was it was fun and really good at just gobbling up freeway miles, boring as hell though.

Woah, nice kills. That SHO launch tho..

I'm sure the SS guy feels the need for more mods after that.

Nice kills! the rematch was even worse than the first run.

They definitely move out. He's got DP's now, getting ready to install them. Not sure who he's had tune the car.

For real. Shocked me.

The SS owner made excuse after excuse, especially when he told the group before our runs that he's a low 11 second car. First it was his tires, then it was his traction control.

You raced a RWD car on street tires in freezing temps...

His excuses are valid. He could have an 8 second car and he'd still lose that race.

Not with me pulling busses on him like that. I agree that there's some hardware, and mostly driver mod needed, but there's no way he should have been multiple bus lengths behind me, RWD or otherwise, if he has a low 11 second car. DA last night was 3200ft. Probably the lowest it'll be all year long.

The sho’s with a tune and a few speed parts, definitely were the sleeper before the mk7s with light boltons came around, now it’s no comparison. It’s amazing though, when my R was stage 2, it was a full second quicker in the 1/4. Swap out turbos and these cars are super car fast, it really is amazing performance for relatively modest investment especially if you can do the install yourself or have a good hookup, I’m constantly impressed with what people get out of the mk7 platform on a stock block, it’s really impressive and nice kills btw, I knew ya would, it’s just a matter of how bad
