Default my formula vs friends gt

my friends and i did a coulple of free mods on our cars today and decided to see the outcome. i did the coolant by-pass, and ported my maf. my friend on his 03 Gt did some sort of throttle bump stop. and put on his 15x8 with MT 275/60R15'S . his mods are k&n, x-pipe, cat-back and tires.

we went 2 times he launches at 3000 the first time and i have him by a car by 30 and 8-10 cars by 110, second race he launches at4500 and gets a car on me by 60 were even and by 110 i have 6 cars on him.

with gears and cai, headers i think his car would give me a better run
my mods in sig

I know the feeling, right after my headers i pulled about a car length on a gt with exhaust and a 100shot. He was pretty pissed about the whole situation.

Yes, he actually revved on me, sounded good. We did run'em from 70 up to about 120, and i had about 11/2-2 cars on him. I was just trying to make a point that it always seems like people say they race and by a certain speed they have 10 cars on someone when at an earlier point in the race they only had a 1/2 car. So from 30mph this guy has a 1/2 car lead, but by 110 he has 8-10 cars......So somewhere between 30mph and 110mph, a difference between 80mph this car puts a car length every 10mph, just sounds kinda strange

read the post i the first race i got the better launch and way ahead a car by 30 and still pulling strong till 110, if you keep reading that you would see the 2nd race i didn't even catch up by 60 . and a lot can happen between 80mph.

i know your just trying to make a point, but it looks like you were just here to bash

He probably shifted into reverse instead of 3rd.
