Default N/a Street kills SRT8 and Turbo Eclipse

Well first run of the night I want to run a guy that has a SRT8 that I definitely underestimated.

25 Roll- He got the hit, and I spun thru 1st. He put a car or so on me but I stopped his pull quickly when I gained traction. Thru 2nd gear I caught back up to his rear tire, and went by him at the top of 3rd. Shifted to fourth out a car or so and slowly creeped. The guy has killed a few local ls1 fbodies, so I guess I was lucky to come away with a W.

I also ran my buddies turbo eclipse, built oem 6 bolt motor, evo3 16g @18psi. This is my old car that I sold him not to long ago, and I was very impressed with how well it kept up once I told my friend how to properly drive it.

@40 Roll, He jumps out about a car bc I give him the hit. Reel him in by top of second and by top of third I am out a car and he gets out of it. We do this 5 times or so to the same outcome. I am going to help him get the boost up in the 24-26 psi range and remove 200 lbs or so. Maybe get him a 75-100 shot and we can get a nice bottle run in.

SRT8s are def a roll car, from a dig they are kind of a pig but they can move out from a 20-30!

Well hell, its a 4100 lb car lol. They can still hit 60mph under 5 (4.6-4.9) seconds with a little traction, you can time it with the display.
