you modded will beat him if he is turely stock.
if he has done much upgrading (mainly raising the boost) then you'll be in trouble.

I think you need to increase your driving ability based on your sig times and mods. Either way, you should take him if he's truely stock. It depends on his definition of "stock".

race him from a dig because supras arn't as fast from a dig, and from your times i'd say you'll have to practive on your shifting you should be gettin way better than that with that 100 shot, WAY BETTER. Oh by the way i'm only 17 with a 99T/A and have yet to be beaten.

its not my shiftin, i just dont have a bottle warmer yet. the 13.8 was the first time i went to the track. I raced him before out of a dig when i was stock and i burned him, so he says he has a lot better chance on the highway!

Anyone who is under 20 or so has to work their *** off to pay for one of these cars, much less insurance. Why brag about it? Or make sure people know?

yeah insurance is high as hell, but id' say a 12.8 is still slow for a 100hp shot.

I ran a 12.5 without any juice. You should be in the low 12's or high 11's with a 100 shot. Regardless you should beat him.

Who told you that load of horse manure?
Ask SW if Supras are fast from a dig or just run someone who can drive better than your grandma. I used to love people like you when I had my RX-7 cause I used to hear the same thing. People would ask me to run from a dig thinking I wouldn't want to, but when I smiled and said ok it was funny to watch them squirm.

To supra guys stock can mean dead stock or it can mean, the absolute most amount of boost the stock turbos will handle. so.....

Considering you basically have a stock LS1, it wouldn't be too difficult to beat you. Maybe I could pull a few plug wires off to make it fair.

Bwahahahaha!!!! HotPants McGants here thinks he's hot **** because he has a 99t/a at 17!!??? I got my 01 WS6 Back when I was 16. Ended up making a ton of money (Legally) and bought the car from my mom (to get away from the "she bought if for me" steriotype) and just purchased the Viper in my sig in summer of 2003. So don't get all high and mighty there "Git_Sum", cause there are plenty of kids in this country just like you or better.

And a stock T/A is nothing to boast about....they are easily beaten. The next guy w/ a lid and filter will beat you. Get some more horsepower (427ci) then come back here talkin smack......maybe then we will listen....then again, maybe not.

WTF? LS1s can't lose man, not even to other LS1s. It'll just be a draw.

I tell you this its a hell of a lot easier to get a car like that a 16 or 17 when you livin with mom and pops and thats all you have to pay for. Its more of a challenge to have one when you pay all the other bills.

You sound just like he did. Are we supposed to be impressed by a Viper?

Question

I don't know about those times- I don't have 555r's and I beat your N20 time w/ similar mods and street tires-no NAWWWSS- how are you launching the car and what rpm do you shift?

BTW git sum- that is a ballsy post not just for being 17- it is with 1/4's in the 13's. What planet are you on???? If you want to finally lose come to IL and "prepare to get your *** handed to you." Hell- I won't even take your money... Id' be doing this board a service so the 75 or so % of the people on the board that have cars faster than you or I don't have to read a cocky post like that again. Sorry for the flame, but that "I run 13.3's on a Gtech (really 13.5's-13.7's) and haven't lost yet" post set me off.
