Default Amazing/Astounding Kill!

Ok let me start by saying PLEASE NO LECTURES! Anyways my friend owns a Roush stage 3 and everyone from work has been begging us too race for centuries so finally we agreed to run three times with judges and stuff to make sure each race was fair. Well we went out to this deserted part of the boonies where we sat for an hour talking without seeing a single car ( the road is like abandoned and it's four lanes wide?!?!) Who knows? Anyways after chating i loosened up my front suspension(I love Illuminas) and removed some weight(spare tire etc) then we lined up. We launched and immediately pulled on him!!! He slowly began catching up, but by the time he got near to me the race had ended. We raced a half mile stretch roughly. His mouth and everyone elses was wide open! I had a huge grin. Then we raced from a 20 mph roll and he and i were neck and neck the entire time! Again everyone was amazed. We then raced from a stop again and this time a put a solid car and a half lenght whuppin on him! This guy was shocked, but he was a good sport and admitted to being soundly beaten. Remember this is an 03 Roush stage 3 supercharged!!!! I'm completely N/A! You gotta love suspension mods and bolt-ons! It was happy times 4 me and he bought me lunch for congrats! I think i'm one lucky **** right now.

nice kill but, could there just be the slightest chance that he wasnt running at optimum performance? You know things do happen sometimes that hinders performance. Ex: faulty MAF, vaccum leak, etc....

Default Must Be the Driver

I would say the driver lost that race. That Roush SHOULD have and I use that word loosely.... but it should have beaten you.

I say the boost was spinnin 'em man, spinnin 'em I say!!!

I also say too but maybe he should wisely invest in getting it to the ground like you have first. No matter, you put him back there, great job!

Stuff like that happens, me and one of my buddies who drives a import that is heavely modified and boosted went to the 1/8th mile dragstrip near my hometown. All I heard ll week was how bad he was going to beat me. We finally got there and he could not get the power he had to the ground. I however, had a great night and after warm ups and beating him, I won the street braket for the night.

Starting from the ground up is the only way to go!

We built up an '03 Z06 a while back for our Corvette business but are now starting work on the GT for our new venture.

Once it's done we'll take them out for a friendly race and post the video on our site.

Should be lots of fun!



Cheers
