Default Turbo SS vs Crotch Rocket and Vette

First I ran into the bike It had no markings at all so I had no idea what kind it was. Anyway I gave him a little show to get him interested.

He catches up revs and I downshift into 2nd going about 35. (i know too slow for 2nd) He is about 1/2 a car in front of me and as soon as I downshift he immediately takes off. Well I decide to chase for fun even though I didnt get the chance to brake boost, he got the hit and a half a car head start. Well he jumped out two car lengths because of turbo lag but I stopped the pull quickly. Then once I got full boost I started catching him fast. At the top of 2nd I was halfway up his front tire. then he immediately let off I didnt even get to third where I was going to walk past him. After that he wouldnt get next to me to race again Frustrating but as the saying goes "if you chase its a race."

Also some C5 Vette with two guys in it comes up from behind on me and revs at me. Well I give in let them have the hit and I take off and pull a couple cars instantly in 2nd gear before he let off. He wants to go again. This time I give him a full car length head start, I start in 2nd gear at 30 (I wanted some traction) and I give him the hit. He takes it and by the top of that gear I have 1 full car length on him before he let off. I tried to get him to follow me to the highway but he didnt want anymore.

Lol, had that happen to me too while racing a bike in the Cobra. Sounds like you have a strong car, as mentioned any #'s?

That must be a great feeling to run off a bike. Everyone that rides a bike can't believe that they can be beat by a car. Well yet another example. Too bad you couldn't line up with the new Busa Killer. The Kawasaki K-14, should be called the widow maker. Stock she is a monster. You would probably still win with all that torque, but it would be close.

The only left from that kit is the intake tubing, the intercooler and the BOV. Everything else is changed. the turbo I have now is a Turbonetics 76mm.

Ive made 579whp and 605tq on crappy CA 91, but I started having probs with that tune. I was supposed to get a new dyno tune tomorrow but the guy tuning it couldnt make it. Nice #'s btw, what tires you run around on? If I want any traction I have to run around on MT ET Streets.

I am still on street tires because of that stock rear end. And yes my car spins ALOT at any speed.
