Default Killed trash talkin 97 Trans Am

Killed a 97 Trans Am last week, I dont usually street race but this kid had it comming. Hes been talking trash about my car & called me out for $500 ... rejecting his outrageous bet I decided to race him anyways. His A4 Trans Am has a shiftkit, 4.11s , CAI, Straight pipes, Thottle Body Bypass, Ported MAF & Throttle Body.

First Race - Had him by several car lengths ....
Second Race - 2 car lengths
Third Race (20 mph roll) ... he got a 3/4 car lead on me then I pulled it out to a car legnth.

went out again

did a coast up around 5mph (his genious idea) to a certain line then punched it ... had to shut it down due to a oncoming car

did anothe coast up ... he got a car length ahead but had to shut it down around 75-80 due to running out of road. But was pullin on him good.

After the race I heard nothing but excuses come their side about traction & their 2-3 shift ... and things got really sour for them afterwards making threats left and right.

Good thing for them I didnt take them up on their bet

Check out http://www.killertransam.com or what i like to say killeDtransam.com

theres a vid on that kids site ... first race on the vid is me getting him by 2 cars.... second vid was the very last race i mentioned above.



edit : heres the thread of the dayof heres another thread about it the day that it happened .....

You should have taken his $500. How did he figure he was going to beat you?

probably his 4.11s & figuring he would get traction with his 295s that stick out a couple inches from the body ... he said he G-tech'd a 12.8 ... obviously it was way off..... I only ran a 13.8@101 (<-- my first time at the track)

I'm sure he overlaid 2 images in photoshop:

1 image - hood up
1 image - hood down

He then probably lowered the opacity of the hood down pic, and spliced out the hood on the hood up pic.

Wow, that is unbelievably lame.

Tell him that his real problem was that he drives the slower car. And that he is a complete moron if he can't figure out why a faster car beat him.

You may also want to let him know that G-techs are full of more bullshit than the Iraqi Foreign Information Minister. But that is only if you want to be nice... otherwise let him continue to live in his killertransam.com fantasy world thinking he drives the sweetest car around, while he becomes poor one lost $500 bet at a time.

Why the Fudg does he have a big A$$ sticker that says TRANS AM???
No $H!T i though it was a Ferrari.

I hate it when people do that to good cars....thats something a ricer would do.....no?

I think he though he could beat you b/c he had a big a$$ TRANS AM sticker on his windshield, Not b/c of his 4.11s nor his 295s. I mean come on, the sticker adds like 50HP right? Look how big it is.!
