Well coming home from work I'm always looking for a run. It was nice and crisp outside. I was cruising at 40mph and see some HIDs in my mirror and then notice some halos. I thought it was a BMW but the car flew up on me and I saw the catfish headlights. OHHHH HELL, ITS ON! He got along side me and stayed there. I looked over but he wouldn't look over. Was a young kid with glasses and what looked to be a mustache that was barely coming through. (first thing that came to mind was JU1CE) He them went alittle ahead and I noticed what looked like 2.25" tips and no muffler. Well the light caught us and he finally looked over. I said "Is that a V8?" and he just said "YUP".


The the light turned green and he took off. I followed (he only had like a nose on me) but I knew it wasn't going to be good with these God awful tires!!!! He hit 2nd before me so I'm guessing he had gears. Anyways I hit 2nd and went sideways all through it He pulled a solid car on me and kept pulling.
Well I wanted 2nds and he did too. We lined up close to 40mph, me in 2nd and him in IDK. I honked it off and on the 3rd we both left at the same time, it was a perfect start. We were pretty close with him inching ahead. I hit 3rd and again went sideways while he pulled half a car. He shifted and I pulled back some but after he went into 4th (before me ) he did start a decent pull. At 110mph I would say he had a car on me. If I had traction I would say it would have been half a car.

Point was made and I tried to get his attention to pull over and chat but he didn't care to.

I will say I didn't enjoy that ****, kinda stung.

 

You need strong gear to **** with them catfish. You should know that.

 

Good loss OP, dont be disappointed loosing to a LS car is perfectly normal, JK. Close race either way im sure he had a few mods himself since you mentioned he had no muffler.

 

Hey u finally got a race! U know a man with a mustache is inevitably faster than you. I grew one and picked up 3 tenths. Nice death man. Time for some drag radials.

 

I think mine are made out of steel Do you mean I need something like Billet gears or what?

Yea drag radials are next on the list. I would have got them last week but......I got something else.

 

********, you know what I meant.

 

Is this the young kid with glasses and a mustache looked like ?

 

Order me a set as well please, thanks.

 

What mods do you think he had? Also what car were you in?

 

He's the Mach 1.

 

You could've just said the slow car.

 

Well I'm sure lid, isn't that like the first mod for LS1s? He also had black wheels with chrome lip I think. Obviously exhaust but looked like some pos back yard muffler shop job. The car was actually very quiet and car had no emblems so I thought it was a V6. It was dark and the car was black but it looked to have SS spoiler and SS hood but I can't be for sure. Also he was shifting before me, so maybe 4.10s? I honestly have no idea. I couldn't hear his car over mine though.

And yes, I was in the Mach 1. Wish I hadn't been though.

 

^ Your car must really be slow

 

Bull ****, you aren't going to mod that car!

Good loss, ls1 was probably bone stock and on its last leg!!!

 

You sneaky little bastard! I hope its in the mail to south carolina. I love when people buy me ****.

 

Good death...I thought modded mach's were faster that stock ls1's . Sounds like he was short shifting. Since you bot have 4.10's and your trans is geared a little lower...but the the mach probally turns a little more rpm, so it should have been close on shifting.

 

I was shifting right around 6,000rpms. I really wish I had better tires. That and maybe a clean filter would have made the difference. It was that close.

 

LOL I just hope it was a LS1 and not a stock 3.8!

 

Good runs either way

 

I hit 3rd and again went sideways while he pulled half a car.



Was it raining there??? lmao. . You better be careful with that 330 ft lbs and shifting like a badass into 3rd with the 225 rear tire you must have on the back.
