Ill reply with a few stories...
First off, I believe I can drive well and trust myself in many situations, yet I know my limitations as to what I feel safe doing. I also will not race with passengers. I also dont race through traffic or on busy streets. Mostly from a 45-65 roll because my 1st>2nd syncro is gone.
First story. My buddies 96 integra (JDM Type-r front end) built b18c1 gsr motor, pistons, rods, crank, oversized valves. The only thing not yet done are cams, springs, and a ecu. First 2 races he walked me pretty good until about 110mph then I slowly started gaining ground but I hit the speed cut before I could catch him. I had a small boost leak which caused a cut-out every now and then. Well a few days later he wants to race again, Well by this time I have found the leak. (stock BOV not being hooked up at all leaks) and have turned up the boost to about 12 pounds.This race Its a whole different story. We start in second gear at close to 50mph. I cant even hear the honks over his obnoxiously loud exhaust, He jumps, I clutch kick a lil to help get the rpms up. Hit 65 mph shift to third chirp the tires a lil, and by now his bumper is at my door, thrid starts winding out at around 110mph hes about a half car back now, into fourth for about 2 seconds until I hit the speed limiter at which time he is about a 1- 1 1/2 cars back. Gotcha b***h <(chappelle show quote).
Other kills!95' n/a z32 with hard pipes, filter, and cat-back. 86 trans-am with exhaust ( 305 v-8 ) lots of the ricer civics around town96 s-10 ( 4.3 v6, 5-spd) with cat-back and k&n, faster then what you would expect!!! Lt1 camaro z28 bone stock ( very close, by about a half car)
Last night I was also playing around with a 04+ mustang GT on the highway.It was completely stock and the guy had two passengers. We were doing about 80-85 and he punched it I dropped to 3rd and stayed right there with him, hit 4th and we were dead even I was slowly pulling, then speed limiter and I was done. At the exit ramp he gave a thumbs up and said "that car was alot faster then he would have thought, and it didnt sound like a normal 4-banger" I smilied and gave a thumbs up.
Please if you have nothing nice to stay, then say nothing at all.
