|  Results from Race with Supercharged Trans Am. Well we raced this weekend. He had just put 4.30's in it. We line up the guy flagging us points at me then points at him he takes off (I'm like what the ****) well I chase him in first catch him second start to go to third he pulls a car on me. Then he couldn't pull me no more. Oh Well!! Went to talk to him tell him it was a good race. I say to him "Pretty close race tell 3rd". He says "Yeah well I spun alot". Forget the fact he left early. Well anyways I'm a little pissed at his attitude, but I didn't let him get the best of me. I know if he wouldn't have jumped it would have been close, but maybe next time. I did race a bunch of other cars, but I tell about those in another thread. Wished I would have beat him, but you can't win them all. Just most of them!! Right!

| Good race....for some reason 99.4% or the GM boys out there (.6% for the cool ones here  ) are arseholes when they don't like the outcome....or if they see a oval with a smile. Good job again |

| That's street racing. You chase, you race. You should have sat still and let him come back to line up again. It is very common for people to leave early on purpose. It takes an awful lot of power to take back 2 cars out of the hole.

| I agree with exgmguy. If the guy leaves early, just sit & wait for him to come back. Then he looks a little foolish. The guy flagging you (if he's a neutral party) should agree with you that he left early. See if he wants to line them up again!

| I hate excuses such as "I was spinning alot."..."I missed a gear"....."I Launched bad". When one street races, it isnt just Machine Vs. Machine, its Driver Vs Driver. Granted we all get bad launches every now and then, and we do miss a gear here and there. But to use the excuse and drive badly on a regular basis...Geshh.. One of those people that think racing is just Stomping the gas to the floor and holding it there. It sounds like your the better driver, and he's just some Dumb A$$ with a fast car, that thinks the car makes him a good driver. I'd rather brag about my ability to drive, than my cars ability to be fast. Well  I like to brag about both when possible.... When someone looses a race to me and throws me one of those excuses I usually just say. "Ya know, that sounds like a personal problem, ya still lost." "It aint my fault ya dont know how to drive."

| Well I'm not to worried about it. I started to race him again, but the cops came. That was the last time I saw him that night. The reason that was the last time I saw is because his car messed up. I don't know how, but I know it did. I saw him last night riding around in his big bad V6 firebird. ROFLMAO Some friends told that it messed up when we were leaving. Well he might of beat me, but my FORD is still running, and I went on to race (2) 96 Cobras one was built bored .20 over with every bolt on you could imagine, 95 Z28, 94 GT, 2001 SS, 2000 Z28, and an S2000. Which I won all of those so I was still pretty happy with the weekend. FORD RULES!!!

| Nice Kill. His car must be seriously screwed up. To be supercharged, have a 350, ported everything and 4.30 gears and not to be pulling on you with traction! Damn! I bet he did screw up his car, cuz something is seriously wrong! Nice running cobra you got though. Skyler

| What year trans-am was this? If it was an LS1 that car would probably be making well over 400hp to the tires. Even a blown Lt1 'should' have completely destroyed you, spinning or not. not calling B.S or anything, just want more details about what kind of car is was, or what year. later Dan 95 rio red cobra #2021

| sounds like a messed up race, with him leaving early. could you tell if he was spinning bad? something doesn't sound right, either with his car or his driving, it would be really hard to chase down a sc'd ta that you admit left the line early. most street races are won on the launch, but since he jumped the launch and techmically should have the faster car (sc'd lt1 or ls1, can't remember your origanal post) it seems wierd that you caught then stayed with him. i would take him to the track and see what he can do.
