Default '00 Z28 vs E46 M3 vs '12 5.0 Mustang

Went up to check out the scene in DFW... It's awesome. No racing though since the first meet I went to was laying low due to heat issues.

Still got a few runs in. M3 was claiming 120 traps and 100 hp gains from his tune. 5.0 guy was scoffing at the Camaro before the race, saying how his car crushes the M3, but changed his tune after and was "on his 89 octane tune and shifting at 6800".

M3 guy was so butt hurt he didn't even wait for us, he just kept flying down the road! Lol girl's car hurting feelings.

No clue, the guy was pretty big headed... The meet I texted you about had 2-3 other M3s there too for you to snack on.

Nice runs, man. Your car runs strong!

Never understood how some people can claim such outrageous numbers for ET or trap speed knowing that you will possibly be running someone in the group. How do you answer somone afterwards when you get pulled and he knows his trap or ET is not near that.
In the case of the M3, the guys claimed to be trapping 120mph but yet gets pulled by the Z/28 with bolt-ons and gear.
Me personally, I would feel like a huge di*k afterwards and would have to bury my face in the sand.

Just don't understand this.

Looked good. Nice runs. I know that mustang is in the DFW5.0 club. One of them put a white 5.0 in the wall this weekend at the track. They also had a 528whp N/A 5.0 not make it out the 12's. And a Boss with a procharger running mid 10's at 130ish.

And I see the 5.0 didn't have no issues with you. So don't see how he wouldn't crush the M3 also. That M3 be lucky to trap 110.

And that's relevant how? Lol.


Good runs. 5.0 sounded good, M3 got left. That car probably traps like 108-109 lol. Z28 moved out well, especially for a vert!

One of these days we will meet up so I can catch that Z. When is the next time you're heading that way?

Don't know, maybe the next time there's a big meet, I'll keep in touch with my Dallas contacts and let you know next time I head north.

nice runs!

yeah, I don't get the whole lying about ur times to someone you might end up racing. Too many times I've had a guy tell me he runs 12.5 then I race him and win. Don't know what time my car runs but I know it's not close to 12.5.
