Default race today

Me: 93 Z28 LT4 HCK, Hooker lt's, Cia, MSD 6al, 3.73's, LCa's, PHB, PCMFL tune

him: 06 GT 5 spd, p&P heads and mild cam (320 RWHP on dyno) X pipe, CIA.

We're racing on our lunch break today. I'll let yall know how it goes down.

We are both on street tires and he has ran a 12.5 on Dr's.

I think hes got the edge on me but we will see. Wish me luck.

Josh.

Maybe so. I'm wishing I had went with a slightly larger cam and a stall.

We agreed to go from a roll as we will both have traction issues.

We raced from about 35-40ish roll, to 100mph the first round and then 120 the second time. I was ahead both times watching the back end of his car in my side view mirror. What surprised me was how much I jumped ahead on the 2-3 shifts and just kept pulling until around the top of 3rd.

On the track it may be a different story. His best so far is 12.5 @ 114mph, 1.6 60ft, my best (with 2.73's) was a 13.6 @109, 2.1 60. He's also got Long tubes being installed this weekend as he is still running factory manifolds and mufflers. His car weighs 3400 lbs, im not sure what mine is at. I'll deff need a stall and something els up my sleeve to run him down at the track.

My boss and some others followed us and got the second run on video which will be posted on the company website soon. LatemodelRestorationSupply.com aka 50Resto!
I'll post the link when its up.

Thanks, Josh.

good kills, if the traction is the issue then next mods should be suspension.

Sucks to sink money into a 3 year old car and get beat by one thats 16

Now, I don't condone street racing, and mostly that looked safe, but nice kills.

That road is a stretch that was just built and traffic is usually pretty light. Its the best place I could think of.

i havent sunk alot of money in this car, maybe $1500. and i dont like to street race either, but as you could see the road was a ghost town.

this is true. ^

I have no reason to lie about my car. here is a quick vid from a few weeks back. the camera is in a SRT8 Jeep. He runs a 13.0 and i think i ran a 12.7x this race.
