Killed by a Z28.... A guy saw some of my kills on this board and PM'd me to see if I wanted to race. I got his cell number, called him up and we ran em twice from a roll. He had an 02 Z28 with headers, upgraded auto transmition, and nitrous (he wasnt spraying at the time) We ran from about a 40-50 roll to about 130. The first race I hung with him till about 90 then he took me by like 3 car lengths. The second race I kept even till about 100, then he again jumped ahead by 3-4 car lengths. He said his Z was runnin 10.7's in the 1/4 mile so im not sad about loosing this race. He was a very nice guy, and it was cool to get the chance to race him.

Weird. Somebody was not clear about his mods. LT's alone are not good for 3 cars up top, OR ARE THEY??? Hmmmm........
When my car's only mod were long tubes, I ran a stock A4 Z28 and reeled him in at the end of the 1/4, but not 3 cars worth.
Definately a strange account/occurrence given the mods mentioned.

EDIT I also remembered that he had a cut out.

I'm no A4 expert (being that my setup's an M6), but I thought a verter's advantage shines immediately (either from a dig, or when just getting into a roll). Air intake does jack (maybe worth 1mph). Edit surely changed his shiftpoints. Still doesn't add up, but heck, stranger things are seen on the street.
Edit: Cutout on a bolt on car worth maybe 5hp. Your Loudmouth is just as efficient.

i am the one he raced I am the one that he raced and when we got out there on the road and lined up he started blowing the horn to start the race, but i knew that his car was almost stock so I payed no attention to the horn sounds, I just kicked it when he did all three times and the last one i pated it twice just messin around . The car is an 02 Z with the following mods. Longtube hookers, K@N, 350 Turbo Trans with 3500 PTC, 12 bolt with 3.73, flowmaster with cutout, no internal engine work whatsoever, stock cam and heads. Has a dry kit but didnt have the bottle. But with all respect, Ryans Z is quick for stock and i showed him some of the easy mods to help his car.
