Default Your biggest kill...

We all know putting a turbo on a car that weighs half as much as most cars on the road that people try to make fast is pretty smart. Not to mention it being a car that most guys that need a big car/big engine to compensate for their small ***** would more than likely say its a car for girls and queers just makes it that much easier to get a race. I know that as soon as my car is ready to race, IT WILL BE RACED. I also know that it will be beating cars that it was never made to run with. I figured I would start a thread that people could share their most memorable kills, (on the street or on the track). Beating a car that came off the show room floor, at one time, being made to dominate most other cars, can only be a life altering experience. Tell all what it was like to beat that car to the finish line or to the next light....

It isn't much since I didn't get to run like 10 psi very long but an STI, and a G35. Looking forward to the built motor to step it up a notch.

at the track had a better mph than several STis, some modded, an srt-4 with a big IC, an SR'd 240, a Mach 1 mustang w/boltons (i believe a mach 1 is a 4.6 dohc cobra motor without the blower) and a 99 Mustang with a stroker motor. (off the bottle only, with it he trapped like 93.

yeah thats right, second only to a supra in mph, but one of the slowest E.T.s there.

Sister's BF has a Modena, maybe we'll do it one day, but he'd take me.

I love going to the road course and steam rolling turbo neons, blown cobalts, vw's and pretty much anything fwd.

However I really love running over the mustang gt's and running neck and neck with the base model boxsters. I'm going on real tires next week, so it should be cooler than last time...but the track is running in reverse.

First day with the turbo kit I ran a 99-04 Mustang GT. Got him by almost 4 cars from 45-95. He was running dumps and an intake.

Mach1 from 70-110, was right on his ***, but had to half throttle it since I was behind him and didn't want to hit him.

Got 4+ cars on a stock VR6 GTI from 45-110.

Hold stead at 2 cars behind with mostly stock (intake) STi and EVO8s from 20-110.

3-4 cars behind a 242whp 240SX and 236whp Talon from 60-110.

I am still running off the stock wastegate @ 5.5 psi.
