Default GTO vs Lexus #2

Rematch from last race, both cars on 555R`s - Roughly 5 cars on the big end to me. The Lexus added boost but wouldn't comment on how much.

thank god for stroker big cube torque: thought he was gonna take you after you bogged it. your car probably makes more torque at 1500rpm then his does at peak.

Haha no kidding. I had 555r's on for DD mode and wasn't expecting this race . I launched and it acted like it wasn't going to hook at all so I let out hard and it hooked and stomped that pedal down and she ripped the rpms right back up. Did you see my dyno graph Stones?

Thanks Trent! Glad to have the car back on the road!

It's odd that he wouldn't tell ya how much he was sprayin'. I mean it's a pretty easy calculation to figure it out.

Now let's see… you put 5 cars on him… Now we just take the weight of both vehicles, consider the predictable velocities of both over a given distance and …

Yep! There it is. He brought precisely: "NOT NEARLY ENOUGH".

See how easy these things are when ya take a scientific approach?

I'll be honest, the car looks damn good.

As far as the 555r's go, I've got that tire for the street and it does a decent job.

It doesn't hook anywhere near as well as the Mickeys, but so far they look like they're going to go three to four times farther. I only got like 500 miles out of the MTs.

Hard to keep up with that one… . If I had a spare set of rims, I'd mount up a set of MTs for days that I'm trollin' and use the 555s for more routine, weekday afternoon runs.

Absolutley it's very nice. An over arm machine is like $900 shipped to my door online. Works great haha.

I'm awaiting finish line videos, damn kids are pissing me off trying to get them.

Buddy you are charmed... Congrats! I'd love to run that monster some day. May take a trip in the near future to run those on this site that seem to be worthy of the exercise.

Not positive I can pull it off. But if I manage it. Would you be in a position to travel a bit? The idea is maybe three meets. Through out the SE / mid west.
