you need a DAMN good launch, but those are not as good as the L's a lot more heavy and what not. You have the win, but just dont **** up. throw on some DR's and then a nice little 100 shot for yourself, and give yourself the win.

Would have done that a long time ago but parents are NOT cool with racing AT ALL. So the mods I have are the ones I could bs about why theyre on there. Hopefully I can throw on the drag radials that night we run which may be this weekend. Should be able to hit 12.9 to 13.0 with the drags. Hoping he waites till i get headers and ill be more in the 12.7 range.

Is your car a A4 or a M6? You should be able to take him if you have a M6. The A4 will have a little harder time. Might still win though. Good luck. Post the results whether you win or lose.

I would save up for a torque converter. That will make the biggest difference. Might knock .3 to .5 tenths off of your time.

Watch out for those trucks. On the right they can very fast.

Some are even breaking into the 11's.

those trucks are pretty pimp even though they are fords and have 4 doors. but like the lightnings, they have lots of traction trouble................

Is he using his nitrous to cool off the incoming air? If so, he seems to be running too big of a shot and it won't last long. He should still be pushing well over 400rwhp and a 13.3 is pretty sad. I know a guy and he increased his boost and added exhaust. He is making 400rwhp and runs 13.2.

correct me if i'm wrong but wouldn't the A4 have an easier time considering they're better for straight line acceleration, and i'm considering that you race from a dig

Na mans hes just using a dry 100 shot he pieced together. Hes a real jack off and all him and his buddies did was talkshit bout my car saying ti couldnt bust a low 14 and **** after I ran his buddies lighting and they said he kiled me twice which was total lie. So now he got his harley and the 100 shot,cai for sure maybe have pulley and chip if got any sense. But he g teched it on the strret which may be why you tihnk his time sucks ***.
