I post when I win so... only fair to post when I lose. Lost for the first time in the TA today, and I knew I'd lose before the race even begain. Stoplight run against an evo, on cold pavement. I knew I wouldn't have traction, but I underestimated just how little I'd have. Launched at like 1/4 throttle and stepped on it too soon. Opps there goes the rear end sideways... and by the time I got hooked up he was at least 4 or 5 car lengths ahead.
************ wouldn't run me from a roll though, big suprise.

yeah and most people dont know how to lauch those things either it is a tough one to get back on top of when the driver knows how to launch and when people have RW drive cars we all know launching is our bane so like unit said no biggie go bust his *** when it warms up again or from a roll

. Nice death. He'll prolly think you modded next time you run him if you hook. Raced annother TA today. a 96/97 WS6 (those were the years they made em, right?). it was a complete dead heat up till we let off at 140. I call it a tie. I was suprised, I thought the ls1 had better top end than even the ram air LT1, but I didn't get a chance to talk to the guy so who knows.
140 is the fastest I've ever gone, all I have to say about it is brake fade is a bitch.

Brake fade is a bitch, nice death though, it's hard to race anything awd from a stop. Wait til summer, get some nitto's and bust his ***

Nice! Well I spanked one bad on the track the other night granted it was his first time tho so I felt bad. But here is what I found on a local board he posted....I give him credit to publicly state he got beat by a Chick which was me. I did correct him on the other forum that my car is a T/A 
My time
60' 1.816
330 5.166
1/8 7.989
MPH 89.57
1000 10.386
12.380 @ 114.43
I checked out even though he got to go out first on a 13.50 dial to my 12.50 which I broke out
Here is his post on the Evo forum with his listed mods. Check around you can see what they do run.

I didn't want to launch the car very hard so I slipped it at about 3-4k and I shifted easy because hell this was my 1st time so I wanted to take it easy lol. Also on this 1st run I went up aganist a chick in a camero who ran a 12.3@114. Here are the results for my 2nd run:
