Default sweet races!

So last night me and some buddies schedule a race that we have wanted to see for some time. Cars that were included were a sts rear mounted turbo z28 on 10lbs, a 03 cobra with a 2.8 pulley exhaust and intake and a 2000 camaro ss with heads cam fast 90/90 and cutouts. So as the day progresses, the turbo z28 pussies out due to “a lot of homework”, so we get a little discouraged. So I call some of my buddies to come and race. So first race: cobra vs camaro ss- from a dig the cobra grabbed traction immediately while the camaro proceeded to leave tire marks at the starting line. Race was close with the camaro inching out the win. So now we head to the highways of Arizona for a little highway run. This is a 2nd gear run at 40mph. The cobra vs ss vs my buddies 1le (382 stroker fully built 12:1 compression with heads cams etc…). So off they go and the 1le misses 3rd so the cobra and ss take off with the cobra ahead by one car. Next they go again with the 1le pulling a few cars on the cobra, when all of a sudden we see 4 cops merge onto the highways, knowing that they heard the cars screaming, we all kept going for a while then got off and hid at a gas station. On the way home from racing me and the 1le come up on a stock looking lt1 so we decide to hit it, as did the other. To our surprise that lt1 was really fast but we edged out the win by 2-3 cars.
Nice racing but got home at 2 am, not my usual day! lol

Why didnt the 1le rape everyone? 12:1 382 should be an easy 500+whp. Good runs though!!

funny story lol. he put 420 rwhp but on a break in tune. he didn't have the money to bring it back so it could easily be over 500 on a good tune lol.
and the cobra did put down 460rwhp that day!

There you have it.

It's so annoying when people assume every car is running to it's combos full potential.

Good races!

hearing the cops always tenses things up a bit, good run man, how are the roads out there? Around here nothing but traffic so I get to scare the late night commuters.
