Well I was out at the street races as usual and looking to kick some ass after a disappointing outing last time when I blew a heater hose. I just got my new clutch and flywheel installed a little while ago and I'm still learning how to launch it so I'm not up to par yet.
Opponent: 02 GT w/ 2xxhp??
I know it had at least an exhaust.
My car: 92 lx 5 speed
CAI, pacesetter headers, custom 2.5" exhaust with bombz "high flo cat", nology ignition wires, bosch +4 spark plugs, clutchmasters 9lb flywheel and stage II clutch, gude cam
So anyways I'm getting some practice on the street before I head out to the track on Friday and I figured I would see how I would do against a Mustang. I can't launch at full throttle because I spin horribly if I do so I got a decent launch and took him off the line then I really got on it and shifted to second and lost all traction and of course the Mustang started to walk on me. After I got traction back I actually started to slowly catch back up to him. He cut it off somewhere between an eighth and a quarter of a mile and I was about 2 cars behind him but I was gaining on him.
I also got in a couple other good races. One was against a modded rsx type s. The race had very similar results ... I lost traction for a while but started gaining ground and the bastard let off really early so I wouldn't pass him and I ended up about 2 car lengths behind. I also raced a friend with a Trans Am that runs a 7.9 in the eighth. I don't know why he had to pick on me!! I kept up with him till about 40 then I heard this loud vroom and he got traction and proceeded to leave me like I was standing still. One of these days... one of these days... I didn't lose all my races though. I picked on some older (second to newest gen) v6 mustang with a girl driving it. I gave her about 1-2 car head start and ended up pulling her 7-10 car lengths by the time I let off ... it was a slaughter to say the least. I'm interested to see how I perform at the track. I should be pulling somewhere around a mid 9 in the eighth I think. I'm going to try my best to get a video of my car at the track... I'll at least get some pictures.
