It was late saturday night and a few buddies and I decided to take a cruise out to the local hangout. I had just gotten my car out of storage and swapped out a TFS intake and a 65 TB for a Edlebrock RPM and an 75mm TB. I thought I had lost tons of torque and it was slower than before!! But wait, one of my buddies had a 2001 TA with a flowmaster, WS-6 Ram air, chip,shift kit, and 3.73 gears. Supposedly he runs 13.1-13.0, so I figured what the heck, might as well find out how fast my car is now--last yr it ran a 12.9 at 107.5 on street tires. We got down to about 50 mph( i think), dropped into 3rd gear and waited until I heard his car rev up. We were off...after well into 4th gear, I looked back and he was about-honestly 7-8 cars back.....I was like holy $hit, I couldn't believe it...espically on the e-way...oh well...just another LS1...it was exiciting to get my first race of the yr in. Now on to those cocky guys with their Z06's!!!
