Default Got my first kill already in the SS

I know Don I shouldn't be racing the car and I could grenade the motor at any time, but I got called out...I'm a sucker for that ****

I raced my buddy with a F-150 Harley Truck with the supercharger from a dig.The first race he slept off the light and he spun so i spanked him pretty bad, the 2nd race we went off a count and he launched hard and my 2nd gear is pretty much gone in the car so it took me a couple tries to get it into gear but once in i pulled up on him and went by him around 85mph. So 2-0 already in the SS

And this car will not be beat on anymore until its tuned, I can tell the car is hurting. They said a huge flame came out the exhaust.

On the bright side, I spent some time detailing it today with my friends and it looks real nice, I think a professional Buff and wax and I'll be looking good.

See isn't it fun driving the car instead of letting a slush box do all the shifting, even though 2nd gear is toast? Are those trucks even fast though? They have to be heavy as hell?

They run 14s stock and you can easily get them into the 13s he has a tune and maybe a pulley done to the truck, he thought he had a chance seeing i had to granny shift the car because of the tranny

**** it, it ain't gonna blow up on motor. it'll pull the timing right out anyway once it sees knock, i say take it out and do burnouts . pull the plugs, if the electrodes are still there after 2 runs with the car the tune is fine

I've already parked the car until it goes to get tuned, I'm not playing around this time..Cost me way too much money the last time I beat on a car that wasn't right.

I'm getting excited about modding the car, can't decide on what I want to do with the car
