Before I tell this story I want to just let everyone know we didn't get this on film since it wasn't planned but I just thought I'd share my first kill. Sorry for the long story but It's the only way I could paint a picture for you guys.



So me and my buddy were coming home from Sacramento Raceway after a night of tracking our cars. We were on the free way and I think mu buddy was feeling down that he couldn't get the times he wanted in his 2007 Mustang GT 5Speed.He raced my other buddy a while ago with a M6 SS and beat him which surprised me.

So he decides to pull up on me and honk it off. We both hit it but a Old Guy in a Toyota Camry cuts us off. We wait for him to clear out and this time I honk it off. Initially he's right at my front fender. What happened next kind of surprised me since I'm pretty much stock.

I start pulling on him, and I'm pulling bad. I finally noticed he let off. He said I was atleast 3 cars ahead of him. We stopped at Denny's and he was like " Man, I just can't win tonight."

I told him should've made the switch and got an LS1 like me.

His mods are FRPP Catback, Pypes O/R H-pipe, CAI & tune. My mods are in sig.

If you beat him and the guy in the ss m6 couldnt he needs a driver mod, i went a 13.3 bone stock in my m6

Yea I know, I was like WTF? I wonder if his 19x10 Z06 rears slowed him down

I'm not a big fan of 19s on an LS1 and they don't help when racing either.
Driver mod is needed. ^
GTs usually need a little more to beat an LS1
Good Kill.

Nice kill. The LS1 mod for mod typically beats up on the new style GTs up top. From a dig, he might have hung better for a bit.

Anyways, what times did everyone run and what's the elevation on that track that you're only trapping 102?

anything bigger than 17's doesn't look right and will naturally slow you down a little in my opinion

With your mods that sounds like exactly what should have happened... with his mods he'd do well to hang with a stock A4 LS1 from a roll, and would run right around what a stock M6 LS1 runs in the 1/4. So with your choice mods it was obviously more than enough

I didn't do any burnouts, first time to the track. I'm on shitty Ventus tires, not the stock goodyears....fwiw. I was also stalling to 1100 rpm...Now looking on here I think I should have had better times. Scar Raceway isn't known for great track prep either

stalling to 1100? Im not a a4 guy but you could go higher right?

Kingc8r

iTrader: (21)

I tried 1300 but it was trying to move forward and I would just spin

The tires that came with the car when I bought it don't seem to hook as well as the goodyears...I couldn't break a 2.1 60 foot

Well you still have stock exhaust, that might be restricting you, get some and see what happens and a tune wakes up the car alot.

I have Hooker LTs, O/R Y, and a Hooker catback sitting in my room lol. I'm waiting to save up for install and a tune

Nice kill.

Everyone was running slow at the track that night. Especially your friend in the white GT! There is no way an ss should of lost to him.
