Some Of My Kills - Video's Uploaded a bunch of my street race vids to the web....go to www.metalmanfab.com then click on Contact Us, then click on Multimedia and enjoy!
A little background of each vid:
1st vid is vs a single turbo supra. A bud called me up and said some guy wanted to race my vette for some $. I agree and we meet up later that night and race, and my pocket gets a bit fatter.
2nd vids is vs. a bpu supra - a guy I met on the Supraforums that wanted to run. We did 2 digs and a 40 mph roll on (supras always want to roll race, geez)
3rd race is vs a Saleen clone with a 418 strocker motor.
4th is again for $. Guy I met on a forum wanted to run his 300z turbo (motor swap and a bunch of mods - he laid down like 475 rwhp). Car looks like a junk pile, but it was damn fast, and a good *** sleeper car. Terms of race were best 2 out of 3, dig to 120 MPH. Guess he thought he was going to lay the smack down on me because he didn't even show up with the money. I had to hold his helmet as collateral and exchange it for the money the next day.
5th is vs. the Lightning in the intro vid of the 300z race. We were both pretty stock at the time, he only had 2 mods (pulley and chip). He's since upgraded to a Kenne Bell.
6th is vs. a NSX, no idea what his mods were...
7th is vs. a 96 Impala with bolt on's a 175 shot. I 60' the **** outta him in the 1st race, bad!
Hope you guys enjoy the vids! I don't race anymore, so it's just a compilation of the past couple of years (the races I was lucky enough to video). Enjoy!!

Nice races....what do you have done to your car? Makes me want Spring to come even sooner...all I can say is I'm hitting the local cruise spot with my new cam and a video camera.

Those are about the most bullshit races I have ever seen. How about waiting for the guy to hit it........1..........2..........C5 goes, then.........3
The C5 was already rolling past when he hit it. Let the damn turbo TuRD at least hit it first if you have any confidence what-so-ever in the vette.

one, two, three and it seemed that the vette pulled first when he was yelling.
a few times in there you here the word go, haha. I about feel out of the chair from laughter.
Interesting to watch, but seemed to favor the vette in most of the races. I think the only good one was the last one at the track. It seemed he was only pulling 11s possible 10s but I really couldn't tell.
A figured with all that power, I would of let the other cars do the counting or at least the honking.

In which video are you guys saying I left early? I didn't leave early in any of the vids (not that it would matter, look how many cars I won by...).
The roll race vs. the lightning, my brother was video taping and he yelled GO - so neither one of us had any kind of advantage or knew when he'd say go (we just both said we were ready). Also for just about every race, I had a passenger, and my opponents did not.

If you are into drag racing at all, then you know if you leave on green your reaction time is going to be ****. You'll never win a race if you wait for the green or the three. Simple racing strategy in my book. I will also say this, nobody ever accused him of cheating the start or getting a ridiculous jump. As you see from the vids it wouldn't have mattered much anyways.

I agree, with all that power, it may not have mattered on most of the races. The only close was the supra I think. I'd have to watch them again to remember now.
I would give them the benefit of the doubt by letting them honk 3 times to start. That's just me. Knowing that I had that kind of power your vette's putting out, he takes away all the doubt.

so on the street where you say its normal to use this "strategy", what constitutes an early leave? I could beat your brother with my truck if I left on "...1,
pretty bogus

Don't you mean on the "3".

Hey Chris, maybe you can take some racing classes or something?
None of us know what we're talking about. We all drive Hondas with top fuel wings on them.
edit: for the record, I doubt anyone on this site has posted more quality kills that Titanium Barchetta.

How did you know about my Honda.....?
Doesn't bother me too much, just like pointing out the obvious, makes me feel "brite".
All I can do right now is live in the past and look to the future for my black
2006 Z-06.........with juice!
