had a good night last night- driving the tta
sporting the original tires i knew id be toast for sure, but i just had to give it a try
i decided to race my buddies 99 viper from a 60 roll- it was close, but he came around once we got to 115 or so and left me sitting still. oh well, just need more mods for that kind of car... nice race though.. he also owns 2 fast gns too
we came back to the local spot and everyone was asking who won the race. obviously the viper did as expected-
now this cocky LS1 ram air trans am owner heard i lost to the viper and starts buggin me to race-- not a problem dude, i gotcha covered..
i tell him we can do a 40 punch and on the 3rd honk GO!!
well my buddy hears all this, owns a 2002 lightning, has the bigger crank pully for 15 psi of boost, cold air intake, and no muffler, more stuff i guess, it ran 12.90's at107 with 10 psi of boost.... asks if he can join in too!! hey a 3 way race-- off to the highway!!!! now it gets interesting--
we head off to the highway and the lightning gets lost in traffic getting to the highway- so the ta and i go from the 40 roll and my ta puts about 7-8 cars on him by the time we are doing 100.
now the traffic dies down and the lightning catches up-- all 3 of us are side by side. i look at my speedo and its right at 40, so i power brake it to 5psi and start honking,... at the 3rd honk i had the boost at 8 psi and let her rip and never looked back!!!
my car spun the tires from 40-60 mph and slung rocks on the lightning.. sorry bout that.. i took the car in 2nd to aboout 68 mph and 3rd to 5000, and shifted into od.. looked back and had easily 10 cars on both of them!!!!
turns out the lightning and ta were neck and neck all the way to 120 or so and the ta barely pull the truck,
anyway-- i had the tta set at 24 psi with pump gas and alky all the way up-
i talked to the ta owner after and they said i had NOS on my car!! i just laughed and said, nope, just pump gas and in street trim!!
they couldnt believe it!!
what an awesome feeling to just dust those guys!!
cant wait for the new cam, turbo and injectors
