That Porsche's straight away speed was impressive
it's cornering speed is amazing as well if it had a better driver mod
That Porsche pulling away so quickly was really cool to see. Id like to also point out that the Camaro SS exhaust sound was music to my ears.
All correct. And thank you for the compliment on the sound of my exhaust! I appreciate it guys!
@@bobdolespento be fair there was a good bit of traffic
Yay for aerodynamics!
Wouldn’t this be “Nightona”?
Yes, I’m jealous
Nightona! I like that. Next Daytona video I put up (hopefully sometime in October) I'll use the title and credit you with it!
Excellent driving! Closed the distance on the Porsche every time until he tapped out. Very satisfying to watch you run your car.
Thanks so much, it was fun driving it.
Car sounds so sweet. Love the blipped downshifts, music to my earholes!
Glad you liked the sound, thank you very much! Wish the sound didn't get outlawed at other tracks with decibel limits.
Truly, the sound of our people.
@@fronkies1LECamaro That's the saddest part. A racetrack with sound limits is beyond ridiculous. I love your sound are those 2" longtubes?
How about your piehole
Besides the braking , that Porsche was the only one who gave you a nice run. It’s like no one else wanted to beat on their cars.
Either that or your Camaro is just that dang fast. Much respect for really pushing your car
Thanks man!
Based on the speeds on the video, I would guess those Mustangs are just going slower by choice.
I do what I am comfortable with because there's no restarts. If I wreck or hurt someone destroying both cars I take that home with me and so do they! Friendly competition is fine but overly aggressive driving bumper riding is frowned upon, it's how accidents happen. You figure out whose the fastest by lap times.
@@Chris-Rife no that is something that is called Racing.
Thats what you do on racetracks.
if you are that chicken you better stay in your garage.
in fact people who are scared and cant drive their cars as they should be driven are more dangerous to others.
@@Chris-Rife this is logic you take to the street, not the racetrack
I love Porsche's...my favorite make, but I am American too, so I love seeing a Camaro "keeping up" with a GT2. Get 'em!
Thanks very much! Have nothing but respect for the GT2, it was a blast chasing him down.
If you can hang with a gt2, you're doing something right 👍
He didn’t keep up. He only caught when the GT2 got stuck behind other cars on the road course. When they hit the track the GT2 was a blimp. The Camaro is bad ass though
@@cayman2lambo2025
3100 ib car with 700 hp
Also they have optional
Cup2R tires. No excuses.
The ZL1 did very good
@@WindyCity1992 it’s not a zl1
Yo these racing games are getting more and more realistic
Lol
it's like I'm really there, God damn Sony knocked it out the park with the graphics this time
I swear, it's like you can really feel the action, like you're really there ya know!!!!!!
very funny, it does seem that way but i assure you this is really me at the track
@@fronkies1LECamaro haha I know I’m joking around nice driving man… I’d love to drive the banks of Daytona one day
Glad I came across this. Thanks for the ride 💫
Glad you enjoyed it!
chasing down a gt2 in an ss is absolutely wild
Engine sounds pretty healthy, especially in the upper RPMs.
That Porsche was pissin me off, I wanted him to catch that SOB 🐾✌️🇺🇸
@@deborahchesser7375He couldnt, he was copying his brake light 😊
@@Cali_Man The Camaro driver was very conservative in putting the power down at apex exit, thats why , if he was a little bit agressive the GT2 wouldn´t get away, the Camaro was way better in the curves, that is imoressive considerng that the porshe was much lighter and saller car.
I used to work infield security at race week Daytona and the Rolex 24 hour races were the best! The sights and sounds are unforgettable
God damn that Porsche is insane out of any turn.
That Gt2 RS is in another league in terms of straight line acceleration. Wow!
Facts!
I love how beautiful your SS sounds!!!! It was such a beautiful roar down that backstretch, towards the finish!!!!! Your corner entry and exit was so smooth!!!!!
thank you, i appreciate it
Holyyyyyy 2:00, I thought it was gonna be loud but then you hit that back straight, what a sound!! Great driving!
Thank you
Porache driver is really only capable or willing (huge $$$) of using 60% of that cars capabilities. The ZL1 is a monster, but the Porsche is faster in every inch of the track with the right driver.
Btw, im not reducing your skills or your car. This was fun to watch. I've gone up against many ZL1s and they're impressive to say the least
You’re good. It’s a modified SS on 200 TW tires, not a ZL1 1LE. Just a regular SS 1LE, it’s a naturally aspirated car.
Great job, car sound so cool and that Gt2 breaks light got a work out, you're a hell of a driver!!!
Thank you very much! I appreciate it.
Agreed. Well done! 🍻
Bro that song playing in the very beginning is one of my favorites lmao
Wow that GT2 straight line speed was impressive. That guy obviously took it easy in the turns,
Takes a well sorted car and driver to reel a GT2 RS in in the corners like that. Feel like the Porsche driver is still learning his car. Impressive driving! Could listen to your exhaust note all day, that Camaro sounds monsterous!
thank you very much!
Great job...love the 1LEs...
I"m tracking a ZL1 1LE now started out with the SS.
I bought just a standard deck lid to get the rear wing off my car for Daytona and I picked up 6mph easily. And rolled my windows up as well.
My top speed at start /finish was 177.2 on my Garmin...you'r car is fast....
Awesome!!!!!
Very nice. I wondered how much the wing would affect top speed at Daytona. Seems I’m not far off a ZLE, that’s good to know. What tires were you running if you don’t mind my asking?
Only mods I have are Corsa CIA and Corsa Extreme axle back its all stock... I'm running Apex sm-10s w/ Goodyear 3rs. Hawk pads 70/60 motul brake fluid and track alignment. I have the Competition roll/ harness bar and Schroth belts and the Garmin catalyst for my PDR.
Hell, this is better than watching nascar for me. When camaro is passing gt2 it’s hard to look away. Consistent driving my man
The sound of our beautiful 🇺🇸 V8 was a sweet anthem to the ears!! Can say that I love any and all body style 911’s though. A great watch!!
A V8 is a special sound. And I'm very envious of the aero on the Porsche as well as the light weight.
Man, I enjoy this video and to see how impressive Daytona is. Also for a super speedway, the narrow feeling in the back and front stretches keeps you focus of not screwing up into the wall.
Haha, it probably feels narrower in the video. I feel quite comfortable at those speeds on this track. I honestly feel safer on track than I do on most interstates.
I can only imagine how fucking fun it is to just go full throttle as soon as you get back onto the NASCAR Configuration Of Daytona (Specifically The Little Frontstretch After The Start/Finish Line Before Going Into Speedway's 1&2). Just Listening To It Gives Me The Goosebumps
It's REALLY a lot of fun
Those engines sound so good and the downshifts are amazing
They’re really amazing engines!
It must be so cool to be racing on Daytona. I've always wanted to see a pack of factory equipped cars do the oval and see what speed they could get up to. You were able to push 160-170mph fairly easy so I'd imagine 200 with some drafting might be possible in a lot of newer high end sports cars
This has the look and feel of a high quality video game.
Impressive car and impressive driving. Not only are the two price tags of the SS and the GT2 leagues apart, but so is the performance. That Porsche is just next level.
Agreed, and thanks
The Porsche seems to have more HP, but not the corner speed. Tough combo to beat. You see it in F1 these days. Very nice!
The Porsche has substantially less HP than the Camaro but the Camaro comes with an even bigger difference in terms of a weight penalty. The gears in the Camaro are pretty tall too.
I'm guessing you aren't familiar with the GT2 RS. It's a literal racecar and is best known for its cornering and braking capabilities. There's a certain factor that might be considered... the driver. 🤷♂️
@@FakingANerve Yep, the driver, the tires, the brakes and chassis setup all figure in when watching RUclips videos of cars on track. Nobody really thinks about that. The Camaro did just fine against this car. The Porsche either has better drive off the corner or a better P/W ratio. Or is just a better driver. The driver of this Camaro seems quite good though.
@@mikesamson1930 The Camaro driver did a _hell_ of a job! It looks like the GT2 driver might have been a bit timid in corners and braking zones.
@@davidsmoothington Makes sense. I had a C6 Corvette, where the jump from 3rd to 4th was substantial. The Z06 helped quite a bit by making 1st gear much taller, so 2nd and 3rd could be closer to 4th, which has a 1:1 ratio in all the C6s.
Just awesome ! Nothing sounds as good as this Chev Camaro ZL1. Hail our countries engineers for this action 👊🏻 and the great driver behind the wheel 🤘🏼
I appreciate the compliment, thank you very much!
13:20 It was at this moment, i knew, he was pushin this Camaro to it’s absolute limits. Those downshifts and the way he takes the corners are like Batman chasing joker 💀
Bro I love the downshifts get more and more aggressive as the video goes on☠️
Hahaha that’s funny! Thank you
your lines are really good. She sounds amazing!
Thank you!
That’s quiet some amazing experience racing on the epic track at night!!
It’s really fun
I don't know why, but 2010 Flo Rida coming on as you pulled out made me smile really hard 😂
lol
This is so cool! How much does it cost for a session and how often does it happen?
Go to www.motorsportsreg.com. You can find tons of events and all kinds of tracks there! Hope to see you at the track soon!
Mind bending 2:50 you passed a purpose built race car. 😮 what a beautiful track. Some very fine driving Tom good work.
Thank you very much
Awesome vid! Great driving and car sounds amazing! And Gotta say I love seeing that 2RS on track , that’s guys gutsy taking that super rare car out on track
I wish the Porsche would have let you take the lead through the corners ..... Just so we could watch how fast he would pass you on the high bank, straight away .... I mean, he was gone “like a cool breeze”, every time you guys did a top end pull ...
Only because it weighs less
@@jonathonhollis7080 Not enough to make the gap it does, That twin turbo --6 is beast plus the guy driving probabaly has mods which probably squeeze over 700hp with the heavy 550+ lbs of torque.
@@jonathonhollis7080 I guess being about 600lbs less would make a considerable difference but that Gt2 is fast and probably has much better gearing.
@@jonathonhollis7080…and around 200 more horsepower
The salamander embryo is one of my favorite tracks.
My brother just bought a Camaro SS, and I never knew it was some type of big difference. MAN, I rode in it and it's Totally the best Sounding Car I've ever heard, easily. The Popping and Gurgling you can Feel through the Seats, Totally Awesome. The SS is the one to get, The kids go out in the driveway to fire it up with low revs, but my brother is going to sell it. It's a Masterpiece of a Car for fun, sound, power, and giggles.
Agreed! I love mine, be sure to subscribe and I’ll put more content up of how I modified it as well as stuff I plan to do in the future and installs in the future and of course…more track video!!
I was checking out some music and this music video popped up. Best song and sounds all night! Subscribed.
At 11:58 you see that red dot almost escape the middle circle and He immediately has appreciation for the beast he is driving.
Yes, I need stickier tires to be able to push the limit of that circle.
I have been sitting here with a smile on my face for 25 minutes this is some damn good driving love it
Glad I could make you happy, check out the other videos I've got. I never realized a 20+minute long video would be popular, I'll be sure to add more.
Nice driving man! This was incredible
I appreciate it, thank you!
THAT PROVES CORVETTE DOING GOD MUSCLE CARS , SPORTCARS , HYPER CARS , TRUCKS , SUVS CARS
Imagine if it was a C8 ZO6 vs GT2 rs 😮💨
Nice driving bro !
the gt2rs would shit on it
This is the content I live for and hope to make one day. Thank you for this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
love to see him eating those 'Stangs
I 2nd the notion. Chevy!!!
Great sound, that Porsche was super quick, huh? But the ones putting on their turn signals were cracking me up😄
turn signals are used to tell the car behind you which side you are supposed to pass on. On the high banks you saw right hand blinkers to indicate that the overtaking car is to pass on the right hand side.
Great driving man, The car is absolutely beautiful, Good job on battling with that Porsche.. he had to been doing 2:02s, absolute props you kept up wit him. I also hope to see you do potential Modifications to the car. 😄
No if I was catching him he likely wasn’t running faster lap times. The car and driver are more than capable of it, just gotta push a little harder. Going back this year and will hopefully have better more consistent brakes which should help me pull some time out
The the fact that this is a SS LE not a ZL1 LE is crazy! The extra 200hp would stop the Porsche from pulling away on the straights.
True but that 200hp against a gt3 still wouldn’t be enough especially with the Porsche pdk tranny
No it wouldn't. It would certainly reduce how fast he pulled away, but it wouldn't stop him from doing it.
My reply keeps getting removed. So I'll try again without links.. I had a source showing the ZL1 vs SS 1LE 0-150mph is 18.4vs25.4 secs(16.9 for 911 GT3) and showing a GT3 vs ZL1.. I watch Car WOW so I know 911s are some of the quickest cars in the 1/4. I'm not saying the camaro would be quicker on the straights, but the 7 second quicker time to 150mph would definitely keep the Porsche from pulling away like it does on the SS.
Times for Virginia international raceway
SS 1LE 2:54:80
ZL1 1LE 2:45:00
911 GT3 2:47:00
@@JoshSTEELERS Isn't that exactly what I said? The ZL1 would highly REDUCE the GT3 pulling away on the straights, but it would not eliminate it.
@xtnuser5338 That was my point originally, you 2 took it the wrong way. I never said it would make the camaro faster. The Porsche would pull away significantly. Then, he would run him down to have him open a huge gap on the high-speed sections. Maybe i should have said from pulling away so much but in my head I meant it as opening up a huge gap.
The power band on that ss is just amazing.
It’s really a fun car. I’m quite happy with the work I did to it as well. Breathes a lot better. Thank you for watching, be sure to subscribe for more!
This is my dream a Camaro track day at Daytona badass man great driving too !
Thanks Jake! Be sure to subscribe to see other tracks I’ve been to. I’ve been to a few and hope to go to more. Plus come October I’ll have more Daytona video that would be better
So nasty how the Porsche pulled away on the straights. The Camaro was just plain awesome to creep up on the braking.
That was the fun part, catching him in the brake zones. Just got frustrating when he wouldn't push it in the corners and slowed me down.
@@fronkies1LECamarodo you think a zl1 1le would of kept up in the straight? (Probably not huh?)
@@dnegel9546 surprisingly enough I've heard that the ZL1 1LE's aren't that much faster on the top end then I am. One would for sure be a few to maybe several mph faster but that GT2 should have been in the 180's and I haven't heard of a ZL1 being that fast.
@@dnegel9546nope
@@fronkies1LECamaro ya that GT2 RS was probably 180-185 judging by your car at 165. do you have any power mods on your SS? she pulls hard and has good top end for "just" an SS.
I think that Porsche was going easy on his tires and brakes. Nice skills on your part.
Thank you very much. Lots of practice and seat time.
Love the glowing exhausts of the GT2RS
For just a minuet I thought this was reality WOW Great Graphics And Good driven too!
Hahaha seems I’ve been getting that a lot. Thanks for the compliment and be sure to subscribe, I’ll have more video game content! 🤣🤣🤣
Hell yeah dude, I got a 02 1LE Firehawk with BMR rear control arms and panhard bar. Nothing pairs better with a strong pushrod v8 then stiff suspension.
I'm building a F-body race car right now. How much camber do you get in that thing where it really handles well?
Nice track footage. Car sounds great 👍👍
Thank you
I have a 22 1LE and this video was awesome!
Thank you
Great footage. Sounds great too and the Porsche & GT2 are gone at 6:30 and 15:00, 15:40. Nice!
Wow great driving,hurting feelings, love it👍.
Thanks man!
Great driving, but, that gt2 was just cruising in the corners. You can tell by the massive gap it gave you on the straights yet you would catch up entering the first corner off straight what is nuts is with all the mods you have done, it pulled away hard, those cars are insanely fast) I don't think he is wanting to beat up a couple hundred thousand dollar car , like most of the other drivers, so its respect to you for driving the car what it was made for. You had , for sure the best sounding car and personally your lines, i would say best driver .
Well thank you very much, I do appreciate the compliment.
Those are some damn good brakes...
Thanks, hopefully they'll be better next year. I wasn't too happy with how inconsistent the pads were.
Chasing? That was more searching for a GT2
Love the downshifts!
I'm going to use the sound of that engine as a ringtone
Haha by all means feel free!
That damn ZL1 sounds like a monster!
thanks man. It's only a SS though, no supercharger on it.
@fronkies1LECamaro Damn man your right. I thought it said ZL1 in the title. But now you mention it I didn't hear a super charger lol. Still sounds awesome as hell either way.
Jeeze that GT2 RS left everyone in the dust
Amazing how fast that car was. Check out my other video where I’m chasing that same car.
@@fronkies1LECamaro will do!
@@IPGAuto thank you!!
Damn looks like the Camaro has better brakes!
That was very satisfying👍🏽
This was sick man. Is there insurance you have on this car that would cover a wreck on a track? Or is this completely at your own risk? I would love to do a track day but the possibility of a wreck makes it so I can't see myself actually doing it
There definitely is insurance. I’ve ran both with and without it before
Is this SCCA, track time or some other racing group series? Btw, great driving and the car sounds great!
It was an HPDE with the Audi Club out of Ohio.
@@fronkies1LECamaro thanks
So cool. I wish I lived near some tracks for this kinda activity
There's more around than you may think. www.motorsportsreg.com is a great place to find some.
I feel sorry for those that have never taken a 2016+ camaro SS or zl1 to it’s handling limits.
They are astonishingly good.
Although I think a cammed ss is the ultimate street car, I think if I’m going to be seeing gt2’s on the track, it’s time to get a bolt on zl1 1le.
Katech sells a package to built a 427 LT1, I think if I built that I'd smoke most everything out there.
That was a nice race but the gt2rs is good on tracks. Good thing you had the 1le
Sounds amazing man. Wow
Thank you
I'll start with.. I love the sound of American "muscle"... Your / this SS sounds amazing... Back to the so-called "race"... Whoever was in the GT2 probably has seriously deep pockets, but he for sure isn't a racer.. He'd "gap" on the straights and the SS would reel him all the way back in inside the turns.. Actually, that Porsche was slowing him down there... Regardless, I watched this video from start to finish twice!.. In 2004 or 05', I had a 02' WS6 Trans Am fully built out with a Procharger (ETC) when I drove from Texas to Orlando, Fl for the Performance Racing Industry show that year. My childhood best friend was a legend and ProCharger was his right hand, so it was pretty cool.. (I've never been in the industry, but it is cool to know people, even by 'proxy'.. The T/A was nasty fast and I/we were supposed to get some runs at Daytona, but due to weather.. Poof.. I doubt that T/A would have handled 1/2 as well as this Camaro. I was just a bit upset (pissed off) didn't get to put it down at Daytona.. Had to settle for the tourist ride in a stretched golf cart... Of which, the "driver" didn't like any Dale talk.. Once stopped... I scaled the grade to where I knew exactly where it happened.. Put a knee down and thanked him for the inspiration he gave me back when I was watercraft racing, as well as some cars.. It is a friggin amazing place.. Where a lot of amazing people have pushed it.. Thank you for sharing this! I have no idea who you are, but you were doing a great job pushing it...
Well thank you very much I really appreciate it. I'm Tom and I really enjoy doing all this stuff. I'm very happy that my videos brought you joy. Thank you very much for subscribing as well!
the music makes it so much better 😂
That camaro is right at home. Built very well.
Thank you, I hand built the motor
Very nice racing skills ! Do you have any mods on your 1LE or is it stock ?
Just a few. Mostly a top end rebuild, so heads and cam, also some long tube headers. Seems to make the car a little bit more responsive as it got it up to 500 hp to the rear wheels. If I could do anything else I'd love to drop weight out of it.
@@fronkies1LECamaro Just a few? You have a fbo na setup right there. A few would have been intake and flex fuel tune calling the day. Nice ride and great driving. Are you on stock rubber or little wider with cup2s?
@@al151 Haha, it came out of necessity when I blew the engine when I really only had "just a few" modifications. Nope on stock rubber and stock widths in this video.
It’s the driver not the car at these track days..Yes the Camaro is a great car and driver for the money. But the GT2 RS at the limit with the right pilot is unbeatable…
Mesmerizing.
Nice! You kicked some serious tail.
I appreciate it!
Why you bullying the poor defenseless Porsche. Also, you were definitely faster in the turns than that GT2 was.
Bullying is such a strong mean word….let’s just say I was “strongly encouraging him to go faster and drive better”. Yes I didn’t have the power he had on the straights but I could catch him in the brake zones and turns almost every time.
Hi
So there is just one thing to say: the guy who drove the gt2 rs should learn to move his car in a german way.....
@@fronkies1LECamaroThe GT2RS wasn’t working hard at all.. he didn’t have too..
Looked like you were eating German dust every time you guys got out onto the high bank ... Just saying
@@jigglydoo you aren't wrong. He had way way more HP than I did. Catching him in the brake zones and corners felt pretty good though.
Is this just like a night-time HDPE/track day at Daytona? This is flipping amazing!
HPDE. With the Audi club, another one is in October this year.
Great driving! Do you monitor oil temps on track? Curious what you get up to for peak temps in a session like this, particularly when close behind other cars for extended periods.
I do. I use Redline 0W-40 and they never really get too high. But it is a N/A car so it doesn’t heat up as much as a forced induction car.
@@fronkies1LECamaroAre you comfortable recommending a brand and weight for a street DI-turbo car? Like a stock Honda? Not for any other reason than heat management. Damn car gets anemic pretty quick in the Texas summers.
@@snail415 If I were you I'd email Redline Oil. There's a guy there named Dave who's replied to all my comments who's extremely competent on what they offer and what weights/types you should use for various applications. I don't want to recommend anything other than "Redline" oil because I'm not familiar enough with your application and would hate to lead you down the wrong path.
You drove well, but I see a “friendly” pace with that driver. The few times you could tell he got into it was going around the white m3, and the black gts that went defensive, but even then he over took both on the outside, and let you go too lol.
Well all of it is friendly really! We don’t do this to make enemies
Damn that Porsche is fast.
It REALLY was
Makes me want to take my car out on the track so bad... definitely a dream track for me to drive on someday. I thought changing the rear gear to 3.54 from 4.11 would help with top-end but now instead of going 125 in 4th I do 135. In 5th gear is just not a good idea cuz it'll probably explode my little 240Z transmission. What's all done to that Camaro it sounds amazing so it's obviously got something done there. What else is done? obviously good tires and pads.
Stock 200 TW tires. Head/Cam package from Katec, as well as a few other things from them, long tube headers and intake. Pads are racing pads so they help slow it down.
Nice watching from the cockpit of Mario Andretti's Camaro.
Thank you for the compliment I appreciate it. I assure you though I’m no Mario lol
That gt500 needs a new driver... jesus. The GT2 could've pushed a lot harder, but jesus dude good driving
Thank you very much
Gotta be fake, bimmer used it’s indicator
That Porsche is moving omg
what are the turn signals for ? is that when they are going to let you pass them?
Let’s the car behind know they can pass safely.
Adding a zle rear wing with dive plates should complement your setup.
Maybe, but it's pretty solid right now. I have the Chevrolet Performance wicker bill but for Daytona I take it off since there's not much need for the extra downforce at this track.
You’re on to something here my friend. Get nasty with it
" It's Under Rowdy's Time " !! 😉👍🏻
If you hadn't mentioned in the title that you were in a Camaro, I would have thought for sure you were in a Corvette. The front camera view of the hood looks like a corvette C7 maybe, and you were flying!
That is a compliment right there! Thank you!
