Default Me vs many

this was right before winter set in, and the "last minute race" sydrome set in.
my car only had small cam, ported heads, CAI, tune, DRs, headers, no cat/mufflers and AC delete.

first run

me vs 71 camaro, built 396, DRs
went from a dig, and i was walked up to 80mph by about five cars (he spun)

second run

me vs lightly built 396 in a 79 trans am
went from 30mph roll and dead even til 100mph

third run

me vs 79 formula , lightly built 400

went from a dig, walked him by 4 cars up to 80mph


me vs tuned and CAI RSX-s
dig, won by about 6 cars up to 100mph

Sounds fun. I bet you can't wait until winter clears up to race them with your new set up. Good kills.

thanks man, im looking at that 396 71 again, i wanna beat that car, cause everyone except me and the owner are hyping this race big time.
then my buddy with the 396 trans am has a 91 vette with a blower and meth injection, and nothing else....told him i would run him because his psi is 17...bye bye rear end, tranny or blower, but his car will break trying to keep up with me.
