Default First kill on the new setup

I was on the hwy when a scat pack pulled up on me and gave me a bump/rev. He definitely had exhaust. So game on since we do not have any traffic in front of us for about a mile. We're doing 60mph. He honked it off and instantly I just walked away steady. So then he asked me to drop to about 40mph. It was worse for him from there. I'm really happy with my set up hope to run into a 5.0 soon.

94MPH Congrats You should be eating 5.0's for breakfast and in the 7's easy. I, raced an Srt challenger the other day he ran 89.22 MPH.

Strange thing is that most 5.0s I my area when they hear the cam won't race and just give me thumbs up. Then you have the ones that are FI and just destroy you.
