Default mach 1 vs trans am and other BSing around

We were both in 2nd at around 3k and we honked it off, two times both races I smoked by three to four lengths. He can drive to, just as good as me(both of us speed shift). The first time I raced him ever he beat me, by like a car but would have kept pulling, on the freeway back when my car was an auto.

now for the BSing

2nd race was with a Titan he took off right after a light and I was just cruising but in a higher rpm and I guess he though I was trying to run him and he smashes on it and I'm like WTF, but I take off after him and walk him like nothing obviously.


3rd race was with a riced out 97 civic(body style) again I'm just cruising home after pickin up a movie from block buster and this kid wants to run and paces me then punches it! The car was so damn slow the only way I could even tell that he punched it was by the loud *** sound. Needless to say I spanked him by untold lengths!

These are some races a crude over time and I was bored

K&N intake, bassani exhaust, 3.73s, aluminum flywheel, and zune clutch. I was really surprised that I took my bro that badly we've raced before and they were alot closer races. When we get in the upper speeds tho, he's cars ALOT closer I think my cuz I got that extra torque and gears it just spankes him in the lower speeds. BTW his mods are JLT intake and bassani exhaust.

BUT my bro makes way more money than me and coming soon for his car is a SC, 6speed, and some 4.10's. For me my next step is a big brake kit cam and 9". He's gonna smash on me

yeah I'll tell him thanks man, this setup will probably take him a few months because I think he wants to pay off his car first

Good kill! I agree with SPLATT. A big brake kit is expensive, but a nitrous kit is cheap

You should spray the car especially since your on a budget . Once you spray it one time you will be a fan lol. Curious to why your not a fan?

People who arent fans of nitrous just havent experienced the orgasmic sensation of flipping the switch and dominating their competition.

Or have seen way too many things go wrong and don't want to chance it, and prefer a different way of making power.


I'm just saying.

I actually agree with you. I will have a 150 shot on mine.

Besides, N20 is like fate. If it blows, you were meant to build it better and go even faster.

I know its all in the tuner and if he sets it up right it will be safe. We have a bad *** tuner in our area, or at least thats what every one says. Personally I've never been to his shop but have met him and many happy customers of his, really cool guy. I have never been in a NO2 car but I just don't like the idea of not always having that power under my foot.

BTW if it blows I cant afford to fix it so I'd probably sell the car if something like that happened, and that cant happen
