BWF Camaro Friendly Controversy

Jump to first page Jump to last page

Now, let's see it race against some truely fast Hot Wheels cars on your track. Seriously! I don't think I have seen any of those models dominate a track consistently. Cadillac V16, maybe but not sure if the TH version matches up with the early releases. I don't think it does with the OH5SP's versus the Bling and the original FTE wheels.

Except for the TH, I have each of them that you showed, and above average at best.

Look for the mid 90s M/M hot wheels, to match the BWFs weight. Not some P/M release from 2012.
Think Ferrari F40, Ferrari 355, Shadow Jet, Way 2 Fast, Ferrari Testarossa, Huffman Stocker, Nitty Gritty Kitty, Turbolence, Rocket Oil Special, etc..... Use the Redline Derby Hall of Fame cars as well for ideas. And no, they wont cost you big $$$.

Ok, I got into this hoping to beat the pants off this Johnny Lightning car with one of my Hot Wheels, or Matchbox cheapies. And some of the cars you mentioned...I have, (Ferrari F40, Ferrari 355, Shadow Jet, Way 2 Fast, Ferrari Testarossa, Turbolence), but the ones I have are not as fast as the cars I raced yesterday. But you know what, I'll race it again, with the cars you just mentioned...and these are not beaters with rusted axels...they are very nice cars. When I did this race, I pulled the best that I had from my collection that has beaten other cars, or won many races...but in the end the BWF Camaro had them by at least 3/4 car length and on the average 2-3 car lengths. Hey I came into this pulling for the underdog (Hot Wheels) but right now Johnny is winning. I know that this is the fastest casting that Johnny lightning makes...so name some cars, and I'll see what I have...I'll do pictures of each car, weight, and multiple races swapping lanes to see if this car can be beat. I would really like to see one of my cars beat this thing! Talk to me, create a list of cars you want to race against it, I'll check and see what I have...or if you want to spend your money and send them to me I can do that...but mail will be slow and a little pricy shipping back home. What do ya think? I'm coming into the States on May 19th...I have an address which would save on shipping them to me, but time is getting short...must act fast!

Here are some pictures I did prior to the race. I hand picked these cars on their past race record, and on the performance they produced on the rolling resistance test. Look carefully at the pictures so you can see clearly the cars that were in the race.

Here is the lineup and how they all finished in their position

Also I ran these cars multiple times to get the best distance out of them...but the JL car was always at the top of the pack. I had fast cars that I was racing against this...no junk. Tell me what you think...I'm listening.

Tell you what I think? I'll tell you what I think! If people want to prove other cars are faster, Bring! It! ON!!!
Great video and photos, Preacher. Thanks for taking the time to do this! Should I move the 61-Gram Challenge date up to late May or early June?

Tough-lookin' group of some good cars...too bad none of 'em stand a chance.

Well, Preacher, we've done all we can; now it's up to the rest of them to try and take on our challenges themselves.

As Bill O'Reilly states..."The Spin Stops Here...Fare And Balanced" I tried every fast car I had, multiple times but the JL 69 Camaro BWF was always the very clear winner. I entered this with the hopes I had something to beat this car...but that didn't happen. And now I have a very FAST car for Racing...Special Racing!

Excellent job, Preacher! I really enjoyed the match-ups!!

However, I do have one every track, so they certainly don't stay that way forever...including my own.

Cool I'll be on the outlook for some of these cars...maybe before I go into Bellingham.
