Plus, I tend to agree with unit ... maybe your 150 shot hooks so well on street tires because something is wrong. 150 shot kicking in is a HUGE deal. Is your car tuned for the juice? I would say you might possibly be running rich, which would soften the "hit".
Also, I would give you a close race ... but an outcome of 10+ cars by 90mph .... no way.

My favorite part is still the COCKY driver that could not drive!
I had a 03 Cobra come into the Ford dealership i worked at witha plate that reads "ITFLYS". i asked about the car and was shown a dyno sheet that read 470 HP i forget the torque,so i asked about times at the track and with drag radials his best was 12.8's @ 118. I tried really hard not to laugh at the guy.
I just gave him props on his Sonic blue Cobra and left it alone.
Not the same thing as this A-hole making himself look bad,but in a (small) way it was close because he was real confident about him taking my SS.
Even after i told him about the convertor/Headers?nitto's and Nitrous.
Maybe i should have raced him
The big difference being he was NOT running a KB.

But the street is the great equalizer, and anything can happen.
Good kill.

i would be worried about a car on ET streets running on the street. LOL
a KB car can be 600-650rwhp. its gonna take a well driven 500-550rwhp Ls1 to beat one.

I enjoyed the story man. Made me laugh in fact. Great kill! People can 'if this, if that' all day long. You still won. Congrats on shutting the guy up!
