Cool Lastnight Race 2 LS1 Trans AM in the 1/8th.

The first Trans Am I race had a 125shot of NOS and nothing else. I was consistent with my 60ft at 2.1. I beat the Trans Am off the line, at the top of 2nd gear he caught me and in 3rd he was pulling like there was no tomorrow. I ask him what that shot gives him and he stated 500hp. I don't know wheather to believe that or not. His 1/8th was 8.6 and I pull was pulling 8.9-9.1 consistent. We went again and this time he didn't catch me til 3rd gear.

The Second Trans Am I race probably had an exhaust from what I can hear. My homeboy was like race that Trans Am and I was like what the hell. I know she doesn't have NOS. Yeah it was a girl this time and from my previous race with a Trans Am with out NOS I stayed right at the door in 3rd gear. Me and this chick line up. I was nervous as hell and I kept telling myself she is a girl. I can get this LS1 at least to the 1/8th if she slips up a little bit. I always get my jump on most car with my R/T always being .5xx. I was offline the line and went into 2nd gear. I had my eyes on my rear view and this chick was gaining. I was like ohhh shi* and then I shifted into 3rd. I had the pedal to the metal and I was like come on you damn Z get to the finish line. In 3rd she was coming like a bat out of hell and when I cross the line she was right at my drive side mirror. I finally beat an LS1 motor. Now that I think about it, she could've had some more mod's done to her car. She was gaining on me harder than the other Trans Am's I stayed with at the door of.

Another car I beat was an E36 M3 which was no competition. I straight murder this dude and I mean murder.

I also race a G35C and murder him too. This dude tried me twice. I was like dude, you have 298hp stock and I have 287hp. The only performance mod I have is the popcharger. After the second run this dude he seem to be mad because he left straight out of the track with no word. Poor sport

Damn yall I need more power in my Z...grr

Time for FI then. I tried going to the track last night but got rained out. You should be able to get your 60ft down if the track is prepped decently(i don't know your track conditions). Bone stock my G was pulling 2.0 60 ft's. I never did get down to 1.9. But now with my DR's watch out. Glad you showed those V8 guys what's up. I've been having some fun with those guys down here. From the back with the Borla TD it looks pretty stock. Even on the throttle the exhaust is pretty quiet and deep but in boost it's a different story. 1 LS1 down 245,454,390,183 to go! LOL.

Hey southern what track do you race at? Im kinda close to where you guys are, and my friends and I go to Dorchester drag way. Good times. The best I got was 9.1. Some old guy said put the stock wheels on and it will set your gear ratios back to normal.

You gotta remember how much that car is spinning vs. your little bit of spin. His 1/4 to your 1/4 would probably be a slaughter.

I go to the savannah dragway. It's not the best track in the world but it's the the closest track for me to have some fun on and check out other rides. The track your talking about Dorchester is in charleston right? I never been there you have an address on that track and how is the track conditions? What days are the track open for import vs domestic?

Your right she probably would've beat me to the 1/4 or probably would've been really close.
