Welp, starting the year out with a solid 0-1 record. lol Last night I went out to our normal meeting spot for the first time this year (it was 38 degrees...which is plenty hot here in Wisconsin) and a buddy of mine just happen to finishing throwing together a civic that we figure would be a good run for my vette.

So anyways, we agreed to do a friendly 40 roll just to see where we were at. His car literally is tuned with 1/2 of a pull on the street. With him driving, his tuner in passenger seat...the dialogue for the tune went like this:

"ok, make a pull...."
3 seconds later...
"ok, its lean, back out....adding fuel..."
pulled back into the drive way...
"okay, you're good. run it."

Also, the title is TACO TACO because his whole turbo setup is made from that e bay brand ilovetacotaco lol I think the set up cost less than 500 dollars if I heard right lmao...enjoy...

Good run!

2 things:
1- you're brave for posting up a loss against a Hondah.
2- I'd rather post up a vid of me losing to Automach than losing to a Hondah.

PS. I'd never lose to Automach. lol

LMAO Good death. What motor is that honda? Whats trim on that turbo? I'm amazed a 500 setup could pull a LS6 vette. I don't expect that to live long though

lol I think the motor is pretty stout, but this race was his longest pull with the car. We had some good laughs...after we got done we popped his hood to make sure all the piping was all still together.

As far as posting losses...I just don't really care. Its so fun just to find people that will actually race you with out all the bullshit (regardless of the outcome) it should always get posted for the rest of us to see.

Pretty much how it always happens. They buy the $500 ebay special, it rapes hard for a few runs, then it self-destructs in a shower of self-pity and rods.

Well just because you don't know this...... "They" aka Bryan has another Honda that has gone 9.60's at 154ish this is a fun car to beat on and get races off. His "real" car is a monster LOL

But I do agree usually young punks bolt some junk together and think it is prostock stuff.

Indeed. Racing is just plain fun. Win or lose.

It's more fun to win, obviously, but I'll race anything, even knowing I'll lose.

I lose more than win but I am addicted to the rush. Takes an hour to get that stupid smile off my face.
