Default 2 VERY RARE KILLS worth the read!

Well guys, this is one of those times where it might never happen again! This was worth driving 20 miles to gratiot to cruise. I got to race a Supra and a SRT10 at the same time Heres the story.

I'm pulling out of the gas station, and my buddy is in the car with me. Hes a big import guy because hes an engineer so he likes them because they are "Engineered better" so... This supra goes by going south on gratiot towards eastpointe. I promptly hop out and give chase. We pull up next to the guy in the supra, ask him what he has done and what not, he mentions his boost controller, stock twins, he had exhaust and an intake. So I'm like ok I'll give it a go. First race with the supra was from a 40 roll. I was at 3400 in 2nd gear 3 honk and were off. I pull 2 cars reallly quick then shift third and pull stopped. shut down at about 100 with a 1 1/2 car lead. 2nd race with the supra, from a dig. I put her up to 2500 and wait, light drops, i roll the clutch and come into the gas, good launch with a little bit of wheelspin. I pull 2nd and take it to 5750, then i pulled third and looked back. The supra was 4 cars back ! I was shitting myself. shut down at 110 with a 4 car lead!! Then the third race, we go from a 30 roll. I was in first (i know im dumb) and he honks 3 times and he just walks me, whoops me by 2 cars up to 110 from a 30 roll... I beat him at a 40 roll he beats me at 30 thats wierd. lol anyway we stop at a light and talk, we say nice cars and what not, and my buddy is nuttin in his seat. Then we go to make a michigan left, were at about 6 mile and gratiot lol cuz we went for lik 4 miles racing. We start heading up we hit 9 mile and gratiot, this nice black truck rolls up next to me and the supra, i look over.. SRT10 in chrome right there in my FACE. I **** myself how could this happen?! SRT10 and a SUPRA with my lil ol camaro in the middle! we went from a 40 roll 3 way race. 3 honks and I pulled about a nose on the truck, and about a car on the supra, shifted to third and the truck started to slow, so i had about a car on the truck all the way up to 100 and about 1 1/2 cars on the supra all the way up to 100... Then we didnt race the truck again he just kept doing the best burnouts ever lol it was just sweet. I was contemplating on selling my Ls1 for a newer car with a warranty (SRT4) but now I'll never get rid of it. Shes strong as hell and I love her. I have pictures of the supra and SRT10 that will be going on my buddys website, when they are loaded I'll throw upa link also have a cell fone vid of the supra and me which is kinda cool. But all in all that was a night to remember, and probably will never happen again!

those cars are rare cause they have never set foot in houston.

we just had a viper top out MTI's dyno at 3400 rpms

YES YOU HEARD ME RIGHT 1200 RWHP AT 3400 RPMS. viper was built motor on huge supercharger, and a ton of DOPE!!!

trust me, the guy drives it around all the time, topped the dyno out twice and got in his car and left. we have the **** in houston!
