Default First Race with 4:10s

Hello all.

Well I had my first race today!!! Some 98 Camaro pulled up beside me at a light, and I looked over and he had his race face on!! Well I staged it at 1600 RPM and Gunned it at Green and spun the tires all through First and hooked in Second and the race was over!!!! He never stood a chance I had him by about 3 cars from the Dig!!!! I love these new gears!!!!!!

You have a auto...what driving skills could you possibly have other than nailing the gas at the light.........keeping the wheel straight!

Most likely was a V6 or still had the Lt1 motor in it

Don't you have an Auto also????? So I guess anyone can hop in your car and run what you run huh??? Another question I have for you Ice how in the hell are some of these people running 2.2, 2.3, and 2.1 60ft and getting 13.7 or better????????? That makes no sense to me. The first 60ft is the 1/4 mile, the less the better you run. I don't understand how they are making it into the 13's with those type of 60ft times. What is your 60ft times?????

2.0 and dont expect to go much faster than that with stock suspension and tires......And no not every person can jump into my car....I have a 125 shot of nitrous that runs a 12.5 with a 2.1 60 ft....I have to spray at the right moment or I might as well not race at all. I've accpeted the fact that my 60 ft. times will suck so what I lack at launches I make up in mid range and finishing power.

Some people with newer motors actually run better i've noticed. And i'm not surprised because wear and tear does take its toll on the motor and times.

No I am running a WOT setup....but I dont have a window switch so I can choose when I spray and at what RPM.....spray to low you go boom spray to late get a crappy time

Usually at 3000 but I have been known to go a bit lower than that
