So me and my buddy who posts on this forum (02_T/A_SOMetallica) are in debate about our cars. Of course we could settle this soon but he wants to get a new cluth before hand so I'm wondering if I should do anything else to secure a win. My car is in sig and his is 2002 SOM T/A M6. SLP H.O. HOOD, SLP LEV. 2 SUSPENSION KIT, SLP DYNOMOUTH EXHAUST, FIREHAWK RIMS+TIRES, MTI LID, MAS, SMOOTH BELLOW, SKIPSHIFT ELIMINATOR 315. We raced before my converter from a dig to about 65-70 and I won by a car or so but he had 4 people in his car and I only had 2. I will be on toyo proxes 4s to save the 10 bolt and I'll work on my launches, we'll probably go from both a dig and roll. What do you guys think?

 

No one. Come on guys I need to know if I have to scrounge up some money to mod before then.

 

So it is basically a '98 A4 with a converter, lid, and cat-back vs. a '02 M6 with a lid, LS6 intake (stock on '01+, right?) , and cat-back? You may need to get something else done to secure a win but I think it will be a hell of a race if both cars race as they are now. How is he with the stick?

 

It sounds like it will be a close race, but get your self some Long Tubes and take your bragging rights. Just my $.02.

From a stop you *should* win assuming you get full traction, you won't destroy him or anything unless he sucks as a driver, but you should edge him out. From a roll it's anyone's guess depending on what speed and, again, how good of a driver he is.

PS. Get yourself some DRs before the race. Don't worry about your 10 bolt so much. You have an auto, we don't break rears nearly as easy as the M6 guys do. My 10 bolt had no problem with 1.6 60 foots on BFG drag radials. Just make sure you're not getting any major wheel hop, because that will greatly increase your chance of a broken rear. When my '00 WS6 was at your mod level I was running 12.6x @106+ with a 1.6-1.7 short time.

 

Thanks for the info. Well depending on how soon he gets his clutch I may have several more mods if its next season. I have HPT on the way now and if my rear end breaking isn't slated to happen with a set or DRs then here I come Nittos. 12.6 sounds really good to me but I won't be able to hit the track until next season, but I was hoping for 12s on a good tire. As far as his driving skills, well I highly doubt he'll be powershifting and hes gotta be a decent driver since he has driven stick ever since he got his license. Man I just want to run him and get it over with.

 

sounds like a drivers race i see your local have you checked us out at www.sembmusclecarclub.com

 

Yes I have and I am a member as well. I just don't post there as often.

 

So if I get some headers with true duals and some DRs you guys think I'll have it for sure? Lookin at getting some headers very soon and gonna hook up true duals as well.

 

Yeah, from a stop anyway, assuming you launch well (full traction) and he doesn't get any new mods.

 

Thanks for the unput, we'll definatly have it on tape so I'll keep you all updated.

 

Its on. haha. i wish i had more money for more mods. hopefully with my car off the road this winter ill be able to save some $$.

 

You know a little hidden bottle of the ol Nitrodeon Oxidimous goes along way.

 

Well I really never plan to hook a bottle up to my car to be honest. I'd probably only do it if some money were on the line.

 

when you guys do it give kevin and giovanni a call they'll come

 

Who the hell is that? What do they drive.

 

giovanni has a 98 formula and kevin has a 94 camaro me n kevin meet you a while back at roy's house when he was tinting his windows

 

Get some LT headers, SFC's and an underdrive pulley and you should be set. It would be a good race as it is.

 

Yeah now I remember you guys just didn't remember your names. What are you guys doing tomorrow. Would like to get together to have a little fun, I haven't had much action in a while and we could get some good footage if your up for it. (Weather permitting)

 

what time and were at
