LS7 came out to play.. as usual! Mexican mile style!
So we go out the local Sonic meet and theres a bunch of imports and non mexican mile running vehicles but nice cars though. So tried to stir up a run with a 1995 Nissan Skyline right hand drive with a nice single turbo,exhaust, rear wheel drive 5spd car. However she wasnt tuned so it was a no go. C5Kid came out and checked out my car to check for any knock or detonation feeling etc. Car seemed ok when we took it out. Weighed the car with the HRE wheels on it versus the CCW 18in skinnies and 17in ZR1 rear wheels with drag radials. They are a total of 60lbs approx heavier! I was like oh crap thats why I feel the big difference when I put the 19/20 HRE's on. Soo after taking a tally of the cars there C5kid decided to push for the pulluhpulluhPULLUH on the mexican mile.
50mph-140mph 1st run... C5kid says go and hit it and I think I had him by about a car or so. MikeP sped up and followed but didnt do the ricer fly by on us luckily.
2nd Pull I said go and we were down to 45mph both cars 2nd gear. We hit it and my car is able to pull out again and keep the distance almost as C5kids procharged C5 comes hard and stabilizes the pull but unable to reel me back in lucky for me. I did have the wife in the car aswell. Oh and MikeP had to accelerate right up my *** during the pull with C5kid to make sure I knew he would run over me with one more blip of the throttle... but I was trying to shoot flames out of the tailpipes at Mikep is what C5kid mentioned.
No video cause Young Matthew was unavailable cause he's day dreaming about heads/cams/intakes/superchargers and piston rings!
No Diablowme's around for Mean94LT1 to beat up on!!!! Figured Diablowme would be a no show after his Vag award last week.
As far as I'm aware there was no other tom foolery going on during this outting.

Nope - just a G35 doing some solo pulls trying to pin point the slight exhaust leak under load and the mysterious rattling around 2000rpms as the revs come down after installing test pipes yesterday.

Any stanger beatings? I saw what I thought was the silver one hammering north on 222 when I was on my way home from work. Would have stopped to chat for a few but had a date with a with an Italian bird named Olive Garden. Pending weather I'll come out next Sunday and hopefully see some pulls in person.

Ummm...big leak....it's all good Lt. Dan's hooking me up with his old set of ET Streets, that way I can at least go to Cecil Saturday. I'm always up for a dead stopper or slow first gear run with you buddy.
