Last Sunday, Chung and I spent a good portion of the day tuning my car. Cold start, added more tq down low, fuel pressure, etc. Really have not gotten on it other then just a 1 gear pull since blowing the head gasket back in November.
Wife was busy yesterday, so I jumped in the car and went for a cruise. Pulled away from a stop light and hammered it. The DR's held 2nd gear and I about chit myself. Thought I would cruise down to lower river road to see what life was like down there, and maybe do a 4 gear pull and see what it had in it. As I pulled into the ending portion where most park, there where about 7 motorcycles which about half did not have plates. They looked like race bikes. Anyways, pulled in, got turned around and one of the bike owners asked if I wanted to go. Sure! Just as i warmed up the DR's, a car started approaching.....a brand new Yellow Z06 Corvette. Yep, did not even have plates on it yet! I waited and low and behold, it was a younger dude driving. Told him I wanted to race one of those cars. We chated for a few, then lined 'em up. The bike wanted to see so he was going to follow behind us....I shot him out of the hole due to traction, pulled him in 2nd, pulled from him in 3rd, went I went into 4th gear, his whole car was in my rear view mirror. But when I hit the gas pedel for 4th, Clutch slipped. RPM's went up but car slowed down. Appears I have reached the maxium of the Spec stage I. On the way out, we did a 4th gear pull and I pulled from him till the top of 4th, then just ran out of gear, lifted with approx 1 full car lengh on him.
Just thought I'd share
