So awhile back i traded in my LS1's for an SRT8. Had a kid yadda yadda...had zero to do with thinking that SRT's are better cars, motors whatever. I drove a few that were kinda ragged and when i found my 300 i knew right away that despite the added weight i had more to start with out of the box! Since i made my purchase of the stock vehicle with 28,000 on it i added cold air, gutted cats w/catback and SLP loudmouths, and a diablo sport predator tune. I run at two local 1/4mile tracks (both at above 3,200ft) and consistantly ran 14.1@100 stock. With my current setup i ran as fast as a 13.5@104 with a really nice density altitude (was like midnight when i ran). On a normal hot day when the DA is like 4000 or better i can run consistant 13.7@103 which was the case this last weekend. Thats my car.
So ive been back in town awhile now and on several different cruises i ran into a white Nismo 350Z that would act like an ass in traffic and rev his little heart out but would never give me a fair REAL race. He looked like a lil HS punk so i never got to excited about it until i went to the track this last weekend and see his car in line to enter. I didnt catch him to challenge him until he was already in line to race a Vette. He spun his ass off and the Vette ran a 13.9 (keep in mind this is a 3,500ft track). I mighta psyched him out. I asked if he wanted to run the 300C just before and he reluctantly agreed. Who wants to lose in front of all their ricer buddies to a boat like mine?? HA! Anyway we eventually line up w my sis video taping the whole thing and i kill him. After the 60' mark i never saw him, again. Anyway, we come back around and he pulls beside to ask if i wanna race his brothers Corvette. Im like "hell yea you took the words right outa my mouth". Theyre all parked together with theyre hoods popped. I overhear him listing mods to a stranger whod asked - cold air, headers, exhaust, and a Texas Speed dyno tune (340hp) on an auto 02'. Had MT/ET streets on the back - i have Nitto 420S (s- for SHIT). In the first run i killed him outa the hole (dont ask me how) but had to stab the throttle when i spun on the 1,2shift. Thats when he got momentum on me and caught me just passed the 1/8th - my front bumper was at his rear bumper when we crossed the stripe. At the slip booth i asked to a rematch and he agreed. I knew if i didnt spin on the 1,2 shift ida had em thru the traps! Next round, i deep staged the car badass (the bottom light was kinda flickering) and left him sitting on the tree. I did a better burnout so no spin on the 1,2 and he wasnt visible in my periphial until after we crossed the stripe. I got the white timeslip (FU*K YEA!!!) and the win light despite the fact he ran a faster et. He ran a 13.69@103 and i ran a 13.72@103 are numbers were IDENTICAL at the 1000ft mark. Reaction time was the difference!!! Although ive had several races this close in my race career, beating a Vette in a 300C takes this one to the top. All the years i had my f-bods i could never get a race w one. This was all two weekends ago. I have spray now. Bought a zex kit. I wanna get some cammed F-bods next time and get the reaction on vid. Out here cam only f-bods barely get in the 12's and thats where i hope to be w/ the 100hp setup. Sorry my camera sucks ill take a picture of my timeslips a lil later if theres any ?
