Default My 1st Death!!

My 1st death, which just happened to be about 2 hour's ago....Came to a WS6 T/A (M6).

I was cruising around on lunch break, and came up to a silver T/A. After awhile, we came upto a red light. I got right behind him, and that's when i noticed it was a WS6. We then cruised for awhile, and he finally roll's his window down. So i did to, and he's like "u wanna run on a light??" so i was like, yeaa why tha hell not. I hardly ever get many chance's to go against anotha LS1.

I ran him twice, on 1st run. We took off on the light, he spun his tire's some and i guess that helped me alot. I didnt really spin mine, and i stepped on it and i would say i got my nose of the car right upto his front tire, and he must have missed timed his shift point becuz i then passed by him. So i was able to take the 1st run......

2nd run, we finally pulled upto another red light. This is where he flat out just spank's my *** lol Light hit green, we both stepped on it and he got his take off down perfect cuz gotdamn he pulled ahead quickly. I dont think i heard him spin his tire's, or if so. He didnt spin em as much as the 1st run. I would say around 2 car length's he pulled ahead and never looked back.

Im sure i wouldve lost either way, but i did spin my tire's alot on the 2nd run. So i think if i wouldnt have, he wouldnt have spanked me so bad.

Idk if it was a stock WS6 but i know he had an exhaust system & seemed to have some rim's. Question, should i have losted that bad to a WS6 if it was stock???

lol Nahh, couldnt really tell if he had any mod's. I only noticed his aftermarket rim's and a nice sounding exhaust system. He may have some mod's possibly, i mean if he's got rim's. Im sure he's atleast done stuff to the engine too.

Yeaa i plan on getting rid of the Flowmaster, hopefully sometime soon and redo the exhaust with an SLP LoudMouth II.

Yeaa, im pretty happy it was an LS1 that killed me. Im also happy that i finally got a good run against an LS1. I got to see just what my car has at the moment before i begin with the mod's.

Loudmouth is a good choice. If he had exhaust and was a good driver it's believable...especially if you spun and he didn't. If neither of you had spun it would have been close because you have the same goods (again assuming he's a decent driver)

Sounds like it came down to the driving in both races. But let's face it, a Light Pewter Metallic 2002 Z28 doesn't ever REALLY lose...

Yeaa, that's what im thinking because i know i spun my tire's way to much and he launched very good. Idk if i wouldve beat him, but im sure i shouldve atleast been either somewhere next to him or atleast right behind him.
