Back in black! 96-98(?) Z28 bites the big one!

Snakeman · 03-15-2001, 04:49 PM

I LOVE my car!

I saw him ahead, classic race! white Z28 vs. Black Mustang! i caught up and got alongside. a couple of revs, and it was clear it was ON! i only dropped to 4th, and it took a bit to get to optimum rpms, but I caught and passed him!

the second time, we caught a light. I took him easily as I spun through first and second...

third time. got a light, but I was still rolling a little. caught first with some spin, not caring, I dumped 2nd! spun a little, hooked and took OFF!, by the top of third, i was 3 to 4 cars ahead!

I flashed my hedlights and he waved as we went our separate ways.

Ford 1
Chevy 0

No Nitrous. no offroad pipe (4 cats! :eek

just my rebuilt motor.
Glad to be back!

That's a good way to break in a new motor! Good kill!

I put 3-4 tanks of gas through it before last night. I think its broken in pretty well. I hit a flat spot up top, not sure if it was the limiter or too much timing. going to back it down to 10* and work from there.

nice to show the chevy boys my taillights!
he had someone riding shotgun, couldn't tell if it was his girlfriend who watched his humilitation...

L8!

Glad to hear you got that beast back together. Are you still gonna squeeze or are you finished with the NOS?
