Default 3 kills

went to the local legal street races and had a few good runs, me and a couple of friends went to get some times but there timeing system was down so it was just heads up racing, my first race was with a stock 05 gto m6, we line up at the tree and i get him by 2 cars on the launch and continue to put one more car on him at the end of the 1/4
second was a 03 z06, we line up and both get horrible launches, i think we both let off a little due to wheel spin, am a car ahead and by the end of the 1/4 i have only 1/2 a car on him, i asked him to race again because we both got shitty launches but he refused.
3rd and last race was against my friends 91 tt stealth, his mods are exhaust, intake, ugrades turbos.
he was on low boost 7-10psi from the launch he has a car and by mid track am at his door and finaly at the end my nose is barley in front.

His car @ 21psi he ran a 12.4 at 4200ft elavation and 90degree heat,we were going to race again but this time with him a 14psi and me with my tires. but decided not to cause it was late. i had brought my et streets with me but did not bolt them up due to there being no times,
this was my first time racing since the converter and my car feels completly different, i love it.

Cogratulations on the kill but the guy in the GTO needs to learn how to drive! Stock he has less torque though. Wait until he puts the mods on you have with a tune!

Kudos!

that would definatly be a different story, i v'e only seen 2 05s in my area so i don't have any others to compare with, he raced the z06 also and lost by 3 cars, in the begining of next year i plan on geting a cam, tune and hook up my 150 shot.
