Yeah we'll see. The camaro makes good power it looked like it was smoking the tires in the preview, that makes it hard to win any drag race. Not to mention I have no idea if Rob knows how to drive!

I read somewhere that they either pulled the higher HP motor in favor of a more street friendly version or drastically detuned it...

At this point it still has the Procharged 383, but there has been talk about sending it back for an N/A LS conversion. It would cruise a little better in LA!

To answer the question.....

No... Rob can't drive. lol. They only ran 1/8 mile runs... and Rob would lift midway through the run because the tires would light up....lol. He said if he was ahead of the Ferrari... he was afraid that when the tires started spinnin.. he was going to spin out infront of the Ferrari so he's lift. lol. He had a lot of fun though... But he is still scared of the car.
