Street Racing & Kill Stories - What's Wrong With My Ride?

The other day I was driving to work and came up to a Z28 (looked bone stock had a new paper plate like the guy just bought it). I saw that it had the stock muffler and assumed that it was just a stock ride. I passed him and when I pulled up beside him it was an older man about late 30s maybe mid 40s. I didn't think anything as I pass but then he comes flying up next to me like he wants to race. I just laughed a little and shifted into 5th and kept going. Then the dude did it again and I thought what the heck I do it. So I down shift to 4th and take off and see him come flying up behind and we hit a bit of traffic and both backed off. Once we cleared the cars, we hit the gas again and took off. I had him all through 4th but he edged up quick. The Z never got passed me but he kept up too easily. We got up to 120 and I think I should have been able to pull on him a little more. What do you think?

I think you need a Chevy. Even Fbirds and Cams are the same the bowtie adds 500 HP. Just buy one and hide it in your trunk. You are sure to win. And, if that does not work buy a bullitt sticker and you can beat Vipers.

Sounds like you were in the wrong gear to me. You downshifted into 4th? :confused:
What mph? Most likely you'll want to drop it to 3rd or even 2nd if you're going slow enough.

I'm sure you already know this, but the Z28 has the same motor as you do and I don't see any mods in your sig.

Laying all jokes aside I do believe (and my opinion is not worth much) that unit (our kind and benevolent dictator/moderator nazi) is correct. What speed where you racing???

I think fools with WS6's/SS's/Firehawks should be smacked and told their cars are no faster than a z28/trans am/forumla :devil:

I know all the FBodies are all the same. I have driven Z's, SS's, TA's, & Formulas and they are equally as fast (minute differences). I am just joking and waving the bowtie.

I used to prove that point on a regular basis. :judge: :)

.
I don't understand this post at all. You have a stock WS6 .... lid doesn't count for much .... why would you be surprised that he kept up with you ???

:confused:

Btw, I am thinking you were 100% in the wrong gear .... 3rd gear ends around 105 or so ... so unless you were going faster then say 80, you should've been in third, not fourth. Also, if you "had him all through 4th" .... how fast did this race goto? .... since 4th gear ends around 135mph.

I agree 100%

Dude, a lid is worth at most 15hp. Most prob. around 7-10hp.
What did you expect as an outcome?

What did you expect as an outcome?The ram air hood is worth 15hp didn't you know that? That what GM says anyway. :eyes: :D

It is worth alot more HP than that! That's why I picked the WS6 over the T/A!:jest: Just ask phantom, and you'll see that they come with 521HP STOCK!

You guys are harsh. Glad yall didn't f with me this much, I might have pulled a bullitt and cried about it.:cry: :)

Red WS6, I just think it's time for mods.:judge:

Yup, time to mod.

Yup, lots of ball busters in this forum. Not me though. :angel:

Definitely. Not trying to be rude here, but you should brush up on your driving skills too. There are a lot of guys out there with crazy rowing abilities. :drive:

:emb: ;) :D

the only way the ram air nostrils on the T/A become really useful is if you take the baffles out and seal it to the airbox, then you might pick up a .1 in the 1/4, not really enough to notice. time for mods.

I think it is most definately wrong gear selection. But, let us not be a bad influence on the baffled TA owner. He may over rev and kill his car. Let him take it slow. By the way, what are the top speeds for all of the gears (I just kinda go till the needle says next, and my car is a slush box, so I do not get to drive the M6's that much).

:emb: ;) :D
Good times!:thumb:

I know I should have dropped to 3rd :bang: but at 6:00 in the morning I'm still asleep :zzz: . I didn't expect to have the guy race me. Also I haven’t had the car for long and still am getting used to it. One last thing I have raced a reg. TA and I was able to pull away a bit more. Cut me some slack I'm a rookie!

Cut me some slack I'm a rookie!Oh man...we're going to have to toughen this guy up! :D We actually all tried helping. Normally you'll get bashed to smithereens. ;) The kill forum is a bit different than the other forums here. The technical forums are full of great info and everyone is willing to help out. It's all about competition in this forum. Streetracing & trash talking go hand in hand. No one really means any harm. Ok, some do. :D

I thought all of you knew once my car's title got my name on it, it became the fastest thing on the street! My name on the papers is at least worth about 200-300 HP.

Honistly, give me 6 months and I'll be able to do some real damage.

It was probably an LT1 and/or an automatic and you got lucky he didn't embarass your new car :)

(don't take anyone too seriously in this forum)

If you talk like a noob (OMFG Z28 kept up with my WS6 WTF PWNED) everyone will bag on you a little.

give me a bunch of money and 6 months and i will blow you guys away. . . . or not.

oh well now you should now your car a little bit better by now. just go crack that ass next time and get some more mods.

This thread makes me think of my buddy. He just bought a 2000 WS6 and he thinks it's just sooo much quicker than my Z. He even says he's quicker than my friend with a 99 Formula WS6 just because he has "a Trans Am." "Everyone knows the Trans Am is better." :rolleyes:

Z28's and forumulas OWN WS6's :jest:

Z28's and forumulas get OWNED by WS6's :jest:
Sure do.:devil:

Nothing wrong with your car man, some (or more) of us have freak cars :devil:

..."Everyone knows the Trans Am is better." :rolleyes:

Damn straight ... I agree it is pretty much a known fact.

Z28's and forumulas OWN WS6's :jest:

Oh shit, you have a lid too! I've heard stories about these f'bods with Lids. Everyone with a WS6 better run, NOW!! .... :eyes:

I thought that it costs to make a car faster? I can't just blink and say some magic words to get the car to move.

of course it costs. but have you done free mods to your car yet. they help out a little, but do not make a world of difference! oh well, like they stated earlier buy a bullitt and beat the shit out of everyone!

Having close races and getting beat a few times starts the modding bug big time.Plus not every car peforms the same from the factory.Some just make more power than others stock to stock.

First race in my stang stock.Got beat up pretty bad by a moddied LT1.Moddied mine got beat by a blown gt a year later.Which forced me into the mods now (and more onthe way ;) ).

Havent lost a race yet since the new combo has been in the car.But a time will come and then ill put a real blower on it (JT trim).

Start modding it and enjoy.
