Default My STS Camaro SS vs TT Fox body

I raced my buddies TT Fox body. He's putting down 10-14psi...dyno'd at 10psi making 422 and 455. I'm not exactly sure what boost he was running when we raced tonight (probably 12) but we were dead even through 3rd gear, then at around 5500rpms, I started to pull him. We let off after that b/c we were coming up on a stop light.

His car is really fast, at least I always thought it was when I was N/A. It was a really good race. I think had we had room to go through 4th, I would have pulled him harder. Sorry...no video. I had a camera in my car but this was the 1st time i had raced someone so I felt it unsafe to video and race at the same time .

At some point, I will have some vids of me racing. As of now, I REALLY need some new brakes!...i almost wrecked after our first race from a dig b/c the brakes were over-heated...that almost sucked!

now Dan, you know Eric was at 10 psi
I think you should be thankful that he was not running open down pipes, at 14psi the mustang would have made short work of the SS.
I think you need to wrap that exhaust and get a rematch in order.

also we will haves a be a case car ERRRRR!
so we can have a video incase we need to have some proof.

He has (2) T3's I believe.

Oh Britton...you can be the chase car in the supra...I hope the camera has ubber sweet zoom .

Like I said...I BARELY pulled him in 3rd gear. In a dig race, he'd kill me...and did actually. That's when I almost lost control of the car.
