I was at the car meet tonight with some friends and a few lightnings and a cobra went out to race so we followed them in my friends thunderbird. The 95 cobra with a blower beat the 2 lightnings. Lightnings are ear piercing on WOT though. My friend was all happy that he only lost by like 5 cars with the lightnings (they raced like 35/40 till about 85), the last race they did was from a dig till like 100 and they pulled very hard.
Now on to my race.. my friend in a black 96 gt with a motor swap (has the 99+ motor in it) with 3.73's, headers, x pipe, flows, cold air, u/d pulleys wanted to race my friend in a 2000 z28 (slp catback + air lid), the camaro backed down cause he doesnt like to race at night even though there is no traffic or anything, so the kid was like ok fine andrew will run me, im like sure cause i never turn down a race lol.
It ended up being us 3 on a 3 way road going 20 in 1st gear, 3000 rpms, my friend in the black gt honked it off and we nailed it, the z28 got a jump before the 3rd honk and he stopped at 75 and was about 2 and a half cars in front of us, but me and the black gt ran from 20 mph till 120 mph and he only pulled half a car, my front bumper was like between his door and rear bumper... i was watching on horsepower t.v. that a car just like mine, except i have a prochamber + gears, dyno'd at 184 rwhp lol.. so i think my car is running very strong, the kid was like DUDE WHY DO YOU HANG WITH ME?? YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO! lol, shifts were all perfect, brought em to about 5500 rpm's each time, once i get my performer 5.0 on there ill be able to definitely take him.... i just still dont know how i got whooped by that srt-4 by 4-5 cars... he took it to the track and ran 14.4 @ 97 mph with a 2.3 60', i think im capable of beating a 14.4, should be in the 13's with the performer...
one thing though.. i have new bullet race mufflers on my car now, and HOLY SH-T did i backfire, in 3rd gear it sounded like a shotgun
