  • August equals Winter down here in New Zealand, this time we got blessed by stunning weather and an even better turnout for Chrome Festival NZ, the biggest winter event for cruising, racing and Show'n'Shine display in the whole Country.
    Jump onboard with me on 'KINGXY' for a legendary ride around Hampton Downs Motorsport Park, with an all-new and improved setup on new suspensions, new rear axles with billet splines, new diff, new gearbox and a total output of roughly 1200hp on a 555ci Big Block Ford, 8/71 TBS Supercharger, running on 15psi of pressure and C16 race fuel / E85 Ethanol mix.
    Keep in mind this was a cruising session and we were not allowed to go too fast, most of the action you'll see here is half to partially full open throttle. It's scary to think that the full potential of this car is still unattainable even on a racetrack. We believe the real potential of this Ford Falcon could be seen on a Quarter Mile or even Half Mile race, time will tell....

Most people over here are running e85 here for boosted street use & those with money to waste run 98 octane unleaded with 2 bottles of octane boost per tank just to meet the octane level required for their expensive built engines. One thing I don’t like about e85 tho is how it draws water from the atmosphere into your tank so you have to make sure you use your fuel fast or make sure you keep your tank full & try keep any air out/ running a fuel cell is the safest way but not that practical for road use.

      Why? it was just a public track day for people to have fun and experience a track, not one other person besides him was driving anything other than casually and taking their time, he sat in the lane that the other cars weren't in the entire time which at these events you only use if you want to pass someone and he sat there the whole time passing everyone he could even sometimes when other cars were in the other lane passing cars he would split the middle and he would pass in corners, he was driving too fast and aggressively for a casual public track day, no one else was being competitive at all even though there were plenty of cars that could have beaten him with half of the hp and then he uses a Eats Everything caption in the thumbnail like it was an actual racing event and he was competing against other people, pretty easy to "Eat Everything" when everyone else is driving slower on purpose and not trying to go fast, alot of tracks would have booted him after his first lap for doing that during a friendly public event where there are probably people on the track who have never been on one before and with no racing experience.

      yea that because it was a friendly public track day and most people were driving so casually and just relaxing and having fun they were effectively sitting still, at events like this when a car drives up and is going faster and in the lane the other cars arent then you let them pass, its basically an unwritten rule and is why most of the time all the cars were following the same line and taking their time, it was only when they wanted to pass that they would move to the other lane and speed up unlike this guy who sat in the "passing" lane the entire time and passed everyone every chance he could including in corners, also at least 75% of the people were in their daily drivers and most of the other cars had half or less of the hp of his car and a lot were likely bone stock, all the other cars were taking their time and having fun since the track was way too crowded and it was a friendly public track day, i noticed a lot of cars which would have destroyed his car if it were a race and they had a reason to compete, anyone of the decent AWD lighter cars on that track would have beaten him with less than half the hp especially one with a mid or midrear mounted engine, being able to explode out of corners and in straightaways is not going to let you win let alone compete on a track with a lot of corners, you just lose too much time due to the weight, bad aerodynamics and rear end only drive and also a weight ratio that is likely 60% front 40% rear at best.
      I love muscle cars with the 68 Camaro being my favorite, the only reason i posted is because of the Eats Everything clickbait caption in the thumbnail which is just being delusional and pure fantasy for a muscle car on a track, and then when i noticed it was just a friendly public track day and that he was the only person driving aggressively and sat in the unofficial "passing" lane the entire time passing people who were driving casually in their daily drivers with alot being bone stock it kind of pissed me off a little, if your going to have an ego and brag in your thumbnail then maybe try doing it in an actual competitive event and showcase your build and driving skills and earning a reason to gloat.
      Anyone with enough cash and some know how can build a 1000+ hp car in their garage just buying from the internet, there are so many good aftermarket parts and custom ECU's and wiring harnesses, transmissions etc... available these days and most come almost completely prebuilt with all the parts you need including adapters and extra parts that a couple of guys could build a car in a few weekends and the most they would likely require is someone to spend a couple of hours tuning it for them and setting up the timing if they didnt have the parts or knowledge, and anyone who was building a car for track racing would not choose a muscle car and most of them would likely be smart enough to film themselves being the only guy driving aggressively and passing everyone he can every chance he gets at a public track day while everyone else is just having fun.
      I'm surprised you didn't get booted off the track, most tracks have rules even for public track days, all the bigger ones like nurburging for example stagger the time between each car let on the track by a decent margin and limit the number on the track at any given time and you are only allowed a couple of laps then you have to re-queue, there were far to many cars on that track at once especially for you to be driving like that and weaving in and out of cars that were 2 wide and going too fast into corners for a public event, you may be confident in your driving skills but it may have been the first time on a track for a lot of those people and lets face it as good as you think your car is you are far to heavy and do not have the brake capacity to stop quickly or move out of the way in an emergency or to correct if you spun out.

      Also a goodcar with AWD with a power to weight ratio about 1/3 of what his car has would have gapped him after the first couple of corners, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS has the 5th fastest nurburgring lap of all time at 6:44 and it has half the power to weight ratio of his car and both are stock production models, the closest thing to a muscle car that performed well at nurburgring is the corvette C7 with the 39th fastest time and you can't even call that a muscle car anymore, its basically a budget supercar now.
