My brother and I were out cruising in my 2002 Z28 and we came up on a real nice 2008 Mustang GT convertible. I saw that it had aftermarket exhaust and we noticed it had gauges. We jumped up onto the highway and he followed. I thought he was getting next to me and I started dropping it down into 3rd and but he punched it from a car back and flew past me. I punched it as he went flying by and looked like I stoped his pull with him a couple cars in front, but I wasn't pulling back. I thought maybe it was supercharged at that point, but I didn't hear any whine or whistle.

We got next to him and my brother told him to go on three honks. This time I decided to spray him. My bottle pressure was only 700 psi, but I didn't like the way he was pulling the first time, so I figured I'd take any advantage I could get. I dropped it into 3rd at 60mph, honked it off, and we hit it. Due to a lack of a purge and very low pressure it took a bit for the nitrous to hit and it seemed about dead even for a second. Once the nitrous hit I started pulling on him, but nothing crasy. I ended up about 2 or maybe 2.5 cars ahead by the top of 4th gear.

We pulled over after and talked and he was a real cool guy. The car was a 2008 GT vert 5 speed. His mods were CAI, x-pipe, magnaflow's, 4.10 gears, and a Zex kit set for a 125 shot. He said that he ran a best of 13.1 on motor and he ran a 12.4 @ 117mph on the spray (I'm assuming that's with street tires like he was running tonight). He said that it made 408 rwhp on the 125 shot.

My car is a 2002 Z28 M6, bolt-ons, 230/236 cam, 12-bolt, Nittos, making 400 rwhp and 364 rwtq. I have my HSW kit set for a 100 shot, but I don't have a purge or bottle heater (saving for a NANO) and the pressure was only 700 psi at the time of the race. My best time is 11.96 @ 117mph on motor with the Nittos. No numbers yet with the nitrous.

I had one passenger and the windows open, he was alone but had the top down.

Overall it was a great, friendly race and the guy was very cool.

cool race, good kill. His numbers seem a bit low for a 125 shot, maybe not it is a 4.6.

I think they make around 265-275 to the wheels stock, so with his mods I figure he's probably 285-300. Seems about right to me.

Good kill man.

Good kill man. Those 3V's love the spray. Those Zex kits are rated at the flywheel so thats about right on street tires.

Thanks! I was definitely suprised by how fast it was. It seems that usually people leave the bigger mods for the coupes (except for Cobras, lol).

goes to show that 1/4 mile times dont mean **** on the street, you had .5 on him without your spray and you only pulled him by 2.5 with it (given the est that 1 car= .1 in the 1/4)

anyways great kill, sounds like a good race- i want some juice now lmao

Definitely. I believe his 12.4 was on street tires and my 11.9 was on Nittos. Tha cars trap the same so I think he'd be at least 11.9 with tires (maybe faster due to the torque of nitrous). I really think he would have pulled me a little if I hadn't sprayed since we trap the same and I had a passenger. Definitely makes me want to finish up my nitrous the right way and stop driving around with 700psi and hoping it's enough, lol.

Nice kill. Good thing you decided to spray.

Nice kill.

Fixed. But the traps would certainly give a good indicator, as is shown in this case.
