I'm sorry I'm typing from my phone. Sammy govt comp won't let me sign in....I don't know if the guy my buddy raced happened to have heat soak or not. I know heat soak wreaks HAVOC on this modulars. He said he took him by maybe half car. Now like I said I raced his 08 and won by a solid car. I figured I could handle a 2010. Drivers race 2011+

Stop showing off. How do you like yours? The battery life on mine is a joke.

well it was quite the emotional roller coaster...

At first I was like, yeah...get some shithole!

Then he reeled me in and I was like **** this is gonna be good....

Then it went south for me as he went around me...

Lastly, I was like **** I lost to a civic and now I wanna die...

In the end, I go home in a car and he goes home in his shitbox so w/e lol

Its ok OP C5ZO^ aint a slow car man. Cheer up, cant win em all right. I lose on a regular bases in roll runs. Not because my cars slow, just because i dont feel like putting full exhaust and full bolt-ons on my daily driver. if you wanna play you gotta play, but I think you got a solid platform to rock some fools.

Love the 2012 Shelby. Op skip the cam for now and get some n2o....the tq increase in the low rpm will make ur z roll out.

If u need more then cam it....

Good respectable death though.

...You got me with that one! So true though!

OP...don't worry about getting beat...it happens to the best of us...just start modding. You are starting off with a kick-*** ride to begin with so it should be easy to get your 'C5Z' moving out in no time! Good luck, man.

lol, yeah I know you can't win them all. But I lose WAY more than I win for sure. I'm gonna get some things done this winter...radial +cam and spray...then MAYBE I can hang with some Evo's and civics I know.

lol...that's actually one of the slowest civics Iv'e seen. The others around here make 500 wheel...

I guarentee you if the OP ZO6 had 3.90 gears it would be a diffrent story. If he is running on stock 3.42 thats why. He would of been in the rpm peak quicker than that GT500.
