Default went out and had some fun. vids inside..!

Hey guys went out to the local meet tonight in the gxp and had some fun racing a few cars, i am still getting used to the tap shift and in a few vids i made the mistake of not putting it into drive from 1st quick enough which resulted in hitting the rev limiter from 1st to 2nd a few times (plus i was nervous and anxious lol)

was a fun night and i believe the srt-4 had a good amount of work done to it (he said he only had a wastegate actuator and thats it!!) because he was beating another srt-4 out there with basic bolt ons including a huge front mount and exhaust .

Nice!

My trans gets over 200 on a normal day... Highest I've had it was 260... Still shifted fine though surprisingly. It should be back on the road this week, after nearly two months.

lol..good runs wife, we need to get you the tranny cooler, wrap the crossover, and either a cold air inductions intake, or a intense fenderwell...i know after a few of those runs your intake temps were more than likly high, as well as the tranny temps, but you done did good lol.....


still aint ready for the mustang though................................

and having 2 srt-4s my self both on spray, i think its safe to say that he sprayed on you , especially since one of the vids he showed me of him racing the other skittle with more mods coming back on him in the middle of 4th out of no where (either bottle was getting cold or he stopped spraying)...also guys is it me or does it look like she was strating to come back on him...both drivers in the srt i think had a combined weight of 260lbs lol, having my 200lb fat *** in the car didnt help im sure sorry rachel next time ill get out

and last but not least best ive seen for the 2010 mazdaspeed 3 is 14.0 @ 98-100 with a 2.2 60' this was also at higher elevation (felt like doing some research on them last night lol)

FWIW all SRT-4's at my local track are at least in the 13's...stock with a good driver it should be in the 13's. It's a death trap though. I've seen more pictures of mangled SRT-4's than anything else. Parents don't realize what they're buying for there new driver kids.

Good kills though.

Lol! I grew up in utica/shelby township, lived there for 22 years before moving down here, so lots of friends/family still up that way. We're planning on going to cedar point, haven't been there in forever....and apparently there's some badass rides now!
