thats fine im on long island in deer park ill see you there this weekend
Raced a jetta today think it was a 1.8t furst he honked three times we were going about forty he stayed right next to me untill i hit about seventy then i pulled on him then we got a light and i had two car lengths on him by the time i hit sixty five and i shut it down there those turbos pull pretty good from forty though i was suprised
You can add a Mazdaspeed Protege to the list, doing around 80 kmh (which is my trans dead spot) i pulled 4-5 cars to 150 km. Then he hung back about a car and tried to pass when he got to my rear bumper i hit it and pulled a car then he tucked in behind me and we both turned off the highway. About 10 min down the road we cought a light, it was in the middle of town so we couldn't run. He asked what i had and told me my car hauls lol, then he said he was a turbo. I didn't know up to that point, i would expect more. The car was nice, that orange color, cf hood, i forgot to ask him what he had done to the engine.
Also a late 80's early 90's vette. Had a little body kit, rims, wide *** rear tires but stock exhaust so i thought i had a chance. It was a older guy so i didn't know if he would run, but from about 30kmh to 80 kmh i pulled a car. Short race but he let off

I'll add my first race ever story! I never raced in my '03 Monte SS which is good because I would have lost!
Anyways I'm at a red light minding my own business when a 300C pulls up next to me and starts revving (he obviously had an exhaust). So I put it in tapshift mode and turned the traction control off. The light turned green and he spun a little bit and I had a jump on him, I put it in 2nd and spun like crazy, he pulled about a fender on me and when my tires grabbed I pulled about a half car and was gaining until I slowed at around 70MPH. then he flew by me.
Next thing you know there's a Trailblazer SS on the other side of me, I heard him go WOT so I hammered it and pulled about half a car on him to 80MPH and then let off. The GXP impressed me!

Speed3's are quick little cars not to be taken lightly. Stock they put out 263hp and with some mods much more than that. They also weigh a lot less at 3100lbs, and have the benefit of having tons of aftermarket parts available.

The speed 3s are sweet little cars, its just too bad there are normal 3's everywhere and they look almost the same. They seem to be a popular car.

I raced a friend's Mazdaspeed3 from a dig up to 100 and pulled about 1.5 cars on him. The second run I pulled a little more than 1 car on him. We took them on the highway and ran from 70. I fell behind about 1 car waiting for the car to shift (didn't think to use tapShift) but stayed with him and just started to barely pull around 125 before slowing down. Those turbo Mazdas aren't anything to joke about, but they aren't anything spectacular either. I bet they're fun as hell on a road course, though!

Had an BMW M5 pass me today. Happen to catch the next light. I got off the line then floored it. Knew I had no chance. But got a car head start. Then he blew by me. LOL. It was fun tho. The M5 has a V10 500hp. So don't feel to bad.

Yea That is what I was thinking. I could spend 10 grand add take care of the M5 and most others. But it was fun to just race someone. Not as Brave as I use to be. lol
Im going to assume the LT1 and Mustang GT were stock and needed a driver mod, then this would be legit.
If you are spraying and on a roll i dont question this
You, are lying so bad its not even funny. Unless you have more that is not on your sig, you did not beat a New GT or especially a WS6. Congrats on beating the titan, you must have slept well that night...
I dont know what the point of this video was. You STILL LOST... his light came on before yours. All this tells me is that you had the launch on him and he ran you the F*CK down...
I dont believe you held close to a 02 Saleen Supercharged by 1 1/2, maybe 3 1/2... Unless you sprayed, then thats possible.
Show me your youtube page, i want to see it. Also what are your mods? Im not saying its impossible but you need to have an impressive mod list, with spray or boost...
BTW ill race anyone in houston if you want to see how bad you will lose to a 2000 Mustang GT...
Ok now to the bright side. You have an LSx motor, you have plenty of potential, unfortunatly is FWD. You need motor mounts and slicks then you can do some major damage, it would be a real sleaper, there are some people who sig backs up their kill list like Impala SS 07. I just dont believe some, well, many of your kill list sorry. I wont say its impossible because its not however be realistic, post videos with slips then more people will see the potential of your cars. Just so you know lid and exhaust is enough for Z28, SS, Firehawk, and WS6 to run mid to high 12's, for those of you who dont know.
