I present to you without further a due, turbo regal vs turbo TA vid.
2nd gear start, passenger in the TA and Ju1ce was solo. Started at about 50 mph.
Just have to say, that regal is one fast SOB. In the race you can really see how my car being a T56 is holding me back. Pull in gear and then lose it on the shift. Man, I refuse to go auto, but auto turbo cars really do own the street. My logic now is just to make a lot more HP than most of the guys I run to give me an advantage lol.
Unfortunately the race was cut short at the top of my 3rd gear due to a car in ju1ce's lane, and I would have loved to run 4th out. I'm assuming I would have pulled a half car or so on him, but we'll never know now!
I also have been having a hell of a time hitting 3rd gear. I'm blaming it on my old *** hurst shifter that was taken out of a buddies car back in 05 and god knows how long it was in use before he owned it. The return springs feel weak as **** and I have gone into 5th a ton of times when trying to hit 3rd. New shifter I'm thinking will help me out big time.
Oh, and theres a 2nd vid thats sort of shitty where I couldn't hear the beeps and I end up just going in 3rd which was a garbage spot for me. I'll put it up but youtube is taking FOREVER to process it!

Bad *** guys!!!
But juice... did you have a danger to the manifold warning on your computer and ignored it?
I saw sparks flying from underneath as if the floor board was becoming unscrewed and flying off.
Good kill!
