Default Alright guys, time to man up...

...and post your deaths.
I saw this thread on another forum and thought I would continue it over here, so I'll start. Here are my deaths, they are in order as I progressively got faster:
With stock turbo-
-G-35 walked slowly ahead for 3/4 length on the highway. I was at 8psi.
-Lightning rolled on me on the highway, I was on 8psi.
-99-04 GT had 1 car on me on the highway, 15psi.
-SRT-4 had 1 1/2 on the highway, 16psi for me.

With the 16G-
-LS1 Z28 put 3 cars on me from 60 roll. 16psi.
-Same Z28 2 weeks later sprayed on me=MURDER. 18psi.
-Fox body street/drag car w/ slicks and roll cage, that's all that was visible, put 3 cars on me on the highway. 16psi.
-94 procharged 5.0 got me by 2 cars from a 60 roll. 18psi.
-WS6 M6 by 1 1/2 cars from a 30-60 roll. 16psi.
-C5 M6 Vette w/ exhaust 2 cars from a 20-80 roll. 16psi.

With the T4-
-Pullied Terminator from a 30-100 roll, 2 cars. 15psi.
-LS1 Trans Am from 70-140, he had 1/2 car. 15psi.

If you guys are wondering why these are all highway races, it's because everyone I try to race from a dig acts like it's cheating b/c I'm AWD.

I have only lost once. Not because my car is just ***** out fast (because it isn't) but just because I live in a town of about 45,000 and there just are not that many fast cars around here, (only 2 terminators that I know of) so races are few and far between for me.

But the one loss I have was against a black Fox-body 'Vert. I was going home one night and I saw a black mustang at the light up ahead. I pulled up to him and gave him a 'rev. He looked over and smilled and reved back. That's about the time I pissed myself because this thing sounded wicked. We played around a little and finally made it to some open highway just outside of town. We did a couple of 45 rolls and everytime he just walked me like a dog !

He was so far ahead that I never got a chance to talk to him afterwards. The ironic thing is that he moved just two doors down from my best friend. So I walked over to talk to him, and he had already moved away. It turns out he was stationed at the Air Force base in town and was transferred so I never got to talk to him.

At the time I was bone stock but with my mods now I know it still would not be close. That's why I never underestimate fox-bodies!!!

Sorry for the novel.

The only loss I have had yet out of 5 races was a 91 notchback with a 351 and alot of spray auto car.He left me so hard he out 3 cars on me just leaving I caught up to about 1 car back then it started he pu 8-10 cars on me with the spray from 0-120 with out the spray it would of been close I think but who knows the was a coupkle weeks ago. Also I should of lost to an subaru sti that took of next to me and that thing was moving I did not have a chance so I backed off and let him go his way. So far those are the only 2 cars that could beat me and their might be a number 3 theirs a older civic hatchback around here with a huge intercooler in the front always stareing me down and blowing his valve of at me but I wont chase him if we ever catch a light ill see what happens kinda scared of that 1 i seen him go once and it was moving so we'll see when the time is right....

Got murdered on the freeway by a 93-97 Camaro. Was blue with flames down the side. Heard him rev at me as I was merging onto the freeway, sounded really mean but I was like, pshh LT1, so I stepped on it and he went by me like nothing. Gave him a thumbs up as he exited the freeway. Wish I had some money to mod too .

I have only lost in my LS1 powered car (built by god) once - but it was because I was inside sleeping and the guy flew down the street with his hazards on.

I don't street race much, but my only death was questionable. An SRT-4 caught me at a light but didn't pull past my rear tires, so I never knew he was there. When he took off, I got on it late and got to his door with my nose where he held me. About 70-80mph I started to pull slowly and he let off then turned.

spray= newer style s-10 extreme. slicks and skinnies, 400+ cid motor, plate. he had a 2nd stage too but didnt' hit it. he jumped my *** bad and i never caught him. dont' think it would've mattered if he didn't jump me but i'll never know since he sold the truck

motor= too many losses to count. ain't hard to beat a 12.0 car these days.

my only loss was to a modded TA when I was stock. He had a stall and we went from a dig, so he jumped me about 2 cars. Stayed that way for the rest of the race. Didn't pull anymore though. That was my first race ever.

What **** 15psi on a T4? What turbo are you running seems like not enough boost and its begging for way more!

I lost to a H/C/I 05 Viper, 414CI LSX SS, and not really too many others.. I got something a little stronger now so we will see what happens.. BTW this was on the street, now if it would have been on the track those guys would have gotten drug bad..

06 GTO, Charger SRT-8 (not by much though), Lighting that had bigtime momentum on the highway - he had floored it from like 5 car lengths back and I wasn't paying attention, BMW M6 and one tie - 04 H/C Mustang GT, 1999 LS1 Trans AM....these would be the kinds of deaths stock LS1's would have - if they weighed 500 - 800lbs more - LOL

Edit: Almost forgot - Pedro from the Performance Trucks section, though that was at the track in his TrailblaserSS that ran a 12.85 that night and 1 06 EVO MR Edition after like 85mph

Yea I know, but with the stock intercooler and wastegate issues, I can only get 15psi. I bought the turbo used, and the internal wastegate is giving me problems so I need to get an external welded on. Would be a different car on 24psi huh?
