Beat a 98 vette with lots of little mods, lost to a Audi S4 (no juice) Raced a new Audi S4 turbo with "upgraded chip, supposed to add 65 hp". Must have worked, he got me by about a fender through the quarter. I got him out of the hole, he would gain a little and then loose a little on the shift. At the 1/4 marker, he had me by a couple of feet...very very good race. I was off the bottle of course. Kick on the bottle was ugly...
Raced a 98 vette coupe, auto, 3.42, 1.8 rockers, catback, air intake, converter, MAF translator, etc. Beat him with my bottle going empty...I am sure he would have gotten me on motor. I had him by a couple of cars, would have been more if my bottle was full.
used my laptop and EFI Live and Autotap to scan a couple of peoples cars, overall a fun night.

Man, I'd LOVE to get a chip that would give me 65hp.
You've really got to wonder what kind of reprogramming's going on there and what the long-term affects are going to be.
Nice races.

They are all-wheel drive and launch like bats out of hell.
They are all-wheel drive and launch like bats out of hell.I also beat all but one WRX, every Evo, and every other all wheel drive vehicle I have raced in my GTO...Just because it is all wheel drive doesn't mean a thing. Its still all driver. The one WRX launched very nicely though, put 1.5 cars on me in a heart beat.
