Default Calling Out (1 Fast Trans Am)

seems your car has grown by leaps and bounds here recently...Up a solid 100 rwhp...

-Im down on rwhp by a good 40-70

-Im around the same on tourque

-I may have an 100 pound weight advantage

-more than likely Im gonna get pulled pretty good...But it will be fun..

But I do have a chance..I have a SNAKE and you have a BIRD..Last time I checked
snakes usually eat birds and not the other way around..

PM me your number and lets make this happen from a 60-70 mph roll ( on a closed course)

Actually birds eat snakes. In fact one of snakes' most feared predators are birds such as hawks and eagles.

Yes op has it backwards. For the most part, raptors are a snakes main nemesis. Raptors and other snakes that is....

I don't see the Viper standing a chance, but who cares. This is what racing is all about.

Holy crap that is an hilarious pic..LOL...LOL...

As for the white TRansam that you tink i already raced i swear on my childrens lives that i never raced that guy...he took off and just kept goin with his buddy..

- Ive been beat by an evo
-ive been beat by two supras
-I got pulled by a CRAZY 3000 GT the other night

Id have no problem giving any highly modded cars a win over my pretty much stock snake. but i aint giving wins out for free. you gotta earn em.

And then ive done some pulling of my own as well...

But me and the other trans am never raced. Total miscommunication. i wanted to weight till we had a nice safe opening. He wanted to go now...He raced his friend..not me. and ive got a very respectable witness to that who was their in his NSX and saw the whole thing.

Now back to the bird..hey it's all in good fun..Looking at the numbers im giving you the edge at 80% vrs my 20%...So i got a slight chance.

And yea i do want to take that chance. Im freakin SICK of racing turboed imports man..Their kool and all but my heart has 100 times more respect for big NA engines with crazy tourque...

Be nice to finally run some one who can hang right beside me on the launch from a roll..Vrs the 4-6 bangers with huge turbos that fall bach and then try to creep up on ya. Freakin anoying like a pesky mesquito

Of course im modding it up some more brother...it's still pretty much stock..talked to my buddy today about heads and roller rockers..

blower heads and roller rockers and Ill be around 490 rwhp...Not much NA ,but when i add my buddies supercharger good for 700-800..

Or i may just do NA heads and roller rockers. good for 520 rwhp...but not as good for the blower...

anyways. My Bdays in a few days and soon ill know what im gonna do..But id like to do this race before the surgery begins..Kinda a before and after thing.


BTW I have never punked out. So i dont know what thats all about. I work 7 days a week..So if i say i couldnt make it..trust me i couldnt.
