Default got beat by a gt

down at then beach this weekend and was crusing around and a 06 gt was beside me so i revved up alittle and he hauls *** to get behind me. well long story short he wanted to race so we waited for it to get to 3 lanes and went from bout 35 roll and he pulled hard as hell on me and it really suprised me because he said it was stock but i didn't even get through 2nd and he shut down bout 2 to 3 car head. well come to find out he was using a 50 shoot right from the beginning so that why he pulled so hard but anyway he was cool so it wasn't that bad of a loss but it is my first lose to a gt

so he just pulled ahead of you and got off the gas? you didnt get a chance to catch up... and a 50 shot? would that make up for the difference between the 300hp 3valve and your ls1 making an easy 350+? it sounds fishy...

He had to have more than a 50 shot if he pulled you like that.

Good death. I wish people would just tell the truth about their mods

a 05 stang with exhaust/intake and a 75 shot ran 13.0@107. same as me at beech bend. over and over we would basically tie. i would beat him by 1-2 thousanths of a sec.

we basically have same mods. so sounds fishy to me. or maybe your car isnt running prestine.

Couldn't agree more.

If he had a 50 shot there was more done to it. Noone in there right mind would run nitrous without a tune atleast.
