Default Test drive today!!

I got to take both of these bad boys for a run up 405 today. What a rush! Now for the comparison. The black one is a full on drag strip car that is barely streetable. It was one pain in the *** to drive around in stop and go traffic but BOY did it turn heads. It sounded like a top fuel car. Way louder than my old WS6. The red car was just like driving a stocker until you nailed it. The tires would spin at 4500rmp. The blower car definitely is faster between the two and more pleasureable to drive. Both had short throw shifters and the black one had an aftermarket clutch. Do not care for either of these mods frankly. The biggest suprise was how much slower the black car was. It did not feel that much faster than mine. Could it have been due to the fact it was a harder car to drive? I doubt it because on 405 the red one would accelerate so much harder (and I went way past 100mph, I think). Regardless, what a day and what two vastly different cars that make a lot of power.

Sweet! I've never driven a nitrous car. I'm told it hits harder, but I sure love the feeling of a boosted car!!! When you buying it Eric? I wanna race....

Unfortunately, the N02 was empty. I can tell you that it did not feel like 431rwhp either. I am sold on blowers!! Oh, and I ain't buying either. Just wanted to drive two different setups that make close to the same power before I start spending $$.
