Okay, so here's some photos from tonight at the crummy dragstrip we race at. I was testing different launch methods, etc. My friend took some photos! Also, my comments.

Things to note:

1.) This is an 1/8th mile. Yes, I know it's L-A-M-E that I am not racing on a longer strip. However, there is no conveniently located quarter in Savannah. Sorry folks. Additionally, it is the lowest quality strip I have ever been to in my life. Very redneck. But, I wanted to share photos. So

2.) I consider myself an "intermediate" drag driver. I am certainly not up to running the 8.8 that people seem to think a 350 can run in the 1/8th. I was running 9.1 and 9.2 tonight. Then again (my psuedo-excuse), I have a loaded Touring 6MT. And I don't remove the tire or any of that ricer nonsense. I'm really not very hardcore about this, I have a really good time doing it though That having been said, here are the pictures:


Me and my friend Dan in his 3000GT VR4 TT. He just had an engine swap and it's running wonderfully. He beat me this once when I had VDC on. He is a so-so driver compared to me, I usually beat him because he sits there spinning wheel for a while.


Me and Dan again, we made quite a few runs testing out launch methods and such.


This IS300 had a bit of stuff done to it and some bling rims, apparent in the photo.


Stop laughing. Yes, I am aware of what this looks like. Rest assured it didn't happen. This was 10 feet from the starting mark, and I was admittedly sleeping on the line. I ran past him in second gear and ended up with 3 carlengths on him. And this is just the 1/8th I thought it was a good photo though, even though it doesn't do me much credit.


Me and my friend Andy in an LS6. I do not know much about American cars or this one in particular but I know it's an LS6. Not sure what the difference is, I know there's like...LS6, WS6, etc. It is pretty fast. I pulled him a little off the line, and ended up about a car behind him in what he called "A shitty run."


Andy and me. As you can see I was a bit ahead off the line, as I usually was with him. The thing with the light in between us is the starting block deal.


Me, gunning it off the line


Me and another guy with an LS6. This guy had EVERYTHING under his car that he could without moving out of bolt-ons. He was running about 8.3 in the 1/8th as he told me.


This was a dragster that was there for Test&Tune. It was originally a 5.0, and let me tell you...it f*cking hauled ***. I thought it was mighty "Fast-And-The-Furious"-esque with the wheels off the ground like that so I took a shot.

 

WOW, those pictures are AWESOME!!!

look at the Z and its lines closely, this thing is a piece of art and at night with the lights it is even more noticable. This car is beautiful and only has a few rival as far as looks. I would LOVE to see it next to a silver 911 C4S at the light, that would be hot.

nice pics!!!!

 

Those two Trans Ams are not LS6 cars, unless the owners did an engine swap. They are Trans Ams with the WS6/ram-air package . They have the LS1 engine.

 

Could be, as I said....no knowledge of this stuff. I know Andy (whote one) did an engine swap but maybe it was another WS6?

 

DID YOU POST ANY TIMES? ONLY REASON I ASK IS THAT I RAN THERE IN SAVANNAH FOR THE FIRST TIME ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. AND ONLY HAD ONE CAR TO JUDGE AGAINST.

Nice pictures.

 

GREAT Pics! Good job!

 

Hey guys ... I'm from Savannah also. I don't see to many Z's running around here. We need to get together sometime and talk cars !

I have seen a DB in Georgetown a few times. Would that be you?

 

Savannah Z brothas,

I am leaving town for the summer next Wednesday. Please contact me if you wanna get together this weekend!!!

 

It's just a new engine of what he used to have. So, stock. His old engine magically epxloded a few weeks ago.

 

Yep, thats me .... DB in Georgetown. I'm out of town all weekend (leaving in an hour or so.) Maybe we can get together early next week !

are those the stock xenons ? because mine arent that blue like that . what type are they and where can i get them if there not stock.
o and the pics are great love the one with the is300 the best

 

Me and mpowered are meeting up tonight. Any other Savannah goons?

 

Mine are pretty blue. A little of that blue is due to the color correction I did (the pictures were yellowed out because of bad lighting, so I added some cyan), but I have noticed that mine are fairly blue in relation to other Z33 cars. Probably placebo.

 

Nice pics!

 

Where Lemans Sunset looks best under bright lights, I've always thought the Silverstone really shines under the lights at night!

You Savannah guys wanna come up to atlanta on the 31st for our group meet/bbq/tech day?

 

Sorry, I will not be back in the states until early November.

 

Thanks for taking credit for my pictures Syf0n :P. Anywho it certainly was a fun time at the ol' savannah drag way. I would like to see it when its imports vs domesticts sometime next year.

As for the shot of that camero, it was running against a 'cuda which alost run smack into the wall about halfway down the 1/8th.
