Default Got killed bad by an 11 sec car

Ok my car is basically stock, just headers, full exhaust, cutout and a KN Filter if it matters with stock 3.23 gears and maybe a stall but not sure anyways here is the race

P.S: I did beat a rx7 with an ls swap and had a cam and i believe milled heads 6 speed not sure how lol

Judging by the video I'd say they let you beat the RX7. They sure do have a big head about a ******* neon. Racing stockish cars and thinking their ****'s fast. What a joke.

No the race was legit against the rx7 because his my friend i know him the guy in the neon wanted to know how fast my car was so he hoped in the rx7 even the guy on the neon was shocked

Well he must be one of those guys running with a cam and no tune. There's no way his car makes more power than yours and weighs a good 2-300 lbs less and he loses.

neon has E85 and atleast a 50 trim, perfect ingredients for 450+whp and low 11s.

from what I've read, a LS conversion RX7 weighs roughly the same as a rotory RX7: 2700lbs. So 800lbs difference is a HUGE deal to overcome. Which is why I've always wanted to have one.... then the reality of my being sized akin to a Sasquatch hits and I can't afford to buy one of them for each foot...

Wow. That skittle owner sure seems cocky, for not even being a member of the 10-second club. Hopefully someone will humble him soon.
That RX7 should be a beast once it's been tuned, and any other problems have been worked out.

That rx7 really needs to be tuned. We have an rx7 that has a stock ls1 in it with a futral f13 cam and 6 spd manual and it runs 10.80 on the motor.

I did but he didn't want to he said "Lol input and half shafts what a pita", that was his excuse but I bet that turbo doesn't built boost or has trouble putting the power on the ground, I guess I could have been a lot closer too since he wanted to do a 40 roll, (40 roll on an auto ls1 is a no no) and my car didn't shift right but a lost is a lost and I don't complain

if anyone is in PA or Florida I believe he said he was from the east coast and said "on the east coast we don't play " all cocky like his car was the fastest **** on the world lol i guess the only way to shut him up if an ls1tech memeber with a modded car races him and smokes the **** out of it


and funny cause he also said "I have NEVER seen an lsx car that impresses me" I guess he hasn't run nitrous/turbo/ H/C/I cars
