Default My SS vs. jrod's 3000 gt vr4

http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q...t=102_2432.flv

This was before I put the cam in it and had it re-tuned. 3000 gt twin turbo holding about 9-10 psi best time for him is 12.4x's. Since he's all wheel drive he kind of rapes me out of the hole from a dig but this is from a 25 mph roll. I still had a little traction problem at first and hit the rev limiter, jrod's vr4 had a small boost leak and could only hold 9-10 psi. Let me know if the link works.

Nice runs, got to love the daytime vids

Sounded like you got into the rev limiter in second gear. In a close race that could be the deciding factor in a win or loss.

Yes I did. I had it tuned before I put the new stall in and after that I would hit the limiter every now and then.

Can't say that I have. I see a pewter SS and a white WS6 all the time though. If you've ever seen a silver C6 Z06 around that's my uncles.

+1 for the pearl yellow 3S.... At 9-10psi, a VR-4 is a high 13 second car. Mid 13s if the driver is good with cooler weather. I'm guessing his car wasn't in 12.4 shape when you raced him. Here's a video of my husband's stealth TT vs our friend's 300ZX TT. The 300ZX is stage 3@14psi (approx. 320rwhp), stealth has 13g turbos and light mods@11.5psi (approx. 300awhp). The race is 10-115 or so. The 300ZX ran a best of 13.7@107 this summer with a few more mods than it had in the taped race. Our Stealth ran a 13.1@107 on the g-tech.
