Blackbird39 (06 STi 360whp) vs Yellowsierra (06 GTO 438 whp)
Well several of the users on here: rocksws6, Blackbird39, Yellowsierra, and brian06eleanor have been planning to get some runs in against each other for fun.
Last night me and Yellowsierra got together to scout out some roads for possible run site. I took him to a deserted area outside of town with a decent str8 with enough room to shut down before getting back into the curves.
After driving down it, and looking it over, we decided to go for a run. The temp. last night was a balmy 27 F and with Yellowsiera being on street tires a dig race for him would have been an exercise in futility. So we settled on a 40mph roll race.
First race: He honks it off and I pull for a second then each shift he pulls about a 1/4 car we shut down at around 100mph with him ahead and my front fender on his bumper.
Second race: pretty much same as first except we stay in it till around 105-110mph with me again at his rear bumper. After I get into 4th I stay in my power band longer and it seemed to me neither of us was gaining any.
Great runs and props to Yellowsierra for an awesome car Stay tuned this was just a practice session. More races coming up when we all get together and they will be on video.

One thing that seemed to hurt me is not having the flatfoot shifting software. The 06 STi pulls timing on shifts to protect the drivetrain.
I'd like to go from a couple different spots but I think the outcome will be mostly the same with him ahead by a car. I'd like to try a 4th gear roll and see how less shifting will affect the outcome.

Gator sent me a PM asking me if I wanted to run last night by the time I got to talk to him yall had already run. I work till 10:30 anyway. He said you weren't wanting to stay out that late. It sounds like yall are a whole lot closer now then what you were huh? I haven't ran Gator since I was stock but he was putting it on me pretty good then (beat the **** out of me) , and I haven't run you since the cam so I don't have much to judge it on but I was making solo runs on my way home last night 40-120 runs mostly and it feels like a monster. I can't wait to get another run. We're still on for this Sat. right?

It was definatly some good runs last night and was alot of fun. Blackbird's STI is not joke and is neck snaping quick off the go. In fact when I honked the third time and we hit it I thought I was in trouble. His car took off a couple feet ahead of me. As soon as I got up in the RPM's and the little LS2 started talking the fight had just begun! I was pulling ahead. I think there was about a car lenght between my back bumper and your front end but none the less it was some great runs. I guess we will know for sure this saturday when you bring the camera.

Oh yeah I know FI stangs are to respected. I could be mean and throw some goofy gas on it and make it closer though
Calhoun sounds nice...Just looked it up paradise huh
Sucks even though I will race cars I KNOW will destroy me I have honestly not lost a street race yet and had the car for 3 or 4 months. Of course I don't really cruise looking for them either. The fast cars are really hard to find on the street it seems.....
