Default supra goes down!!! again!!!

first gear roll at about 10mph. he found his rpm level i let him do it his way and once he was ready, i honked 3 times and he went down once again. i was able to stay 3/4 of a car ahead of him. we did it 3 times from a roll and i was always getting the jump on him.
this time he did move alot faster and passed me at about 113mph. i was actually holding him off for about 3 or 4 more mph. (hard to tell)
now, on the third race we did it from a 2 gear roll(not good for me) and what i did is something crazy. i pulled over and dropped my rear tire pressure to about 15 psi then we rolled at about 30mph and what i did is dumped my clutch at 5krpm rolling at 30mph. (i apologize to my rear end) i spun a little and then once my bfg dr caught i launched ahead of him about 2 1/2 cars. he was like impressed and how the hell did i do that. anyways i was ahead all the way to about 120mph.
he said that the 3rd race will come in about a month since he is gonna do something else to the car. i hope by then i have my mti heads.
the moral of all this is that you can take out a strong car by just knowing how to abuse your car a little better.

the supra has full exhaust, turbo timer and i think it has an intake. i dont know how much he was boosting, but it sure did move. i have a good deal on the heads with an ati procharger. i am waiting to see it it goes through.
