[QUOTE="BadBlue98GT, post: 11103933, member: 83066"] A co-worker that I raced in his old '11 5.0 (and beat from a roll) got a new one recently that is a base model and should weigh a bit less followed me out to the "spot" on the way home today. 1st Race: Dig, he honked it off and I launched at about 2,500 rpm...instantly smoked my completely worn out 555R's and he jumped out about a car. I shifted to 2nd and smoked the tires again. This gave him another car. I pedaled it and we kept running up to about 120. I was closing the gap up until the point we had to shut down. 2nd Race: 35 mph roll, he honked it off again, both in 2nd gear. I hit it as soon as I heard the 3rd honk and jumped out a little more than half a car, he went from 2nd to 5th instead of 3rd and I obviously destroyed him. 3rd Race: 35 mph roll, his honk, both in 2nd again. I waited until I heard him hit it and nailed it. Instantly made up his quarter car lead, pulled even, Flawless shift to 3rd by both of us and I started walking away. Shifted to fourth and I was about 2 cars ahead and still pulling pretty good. Shut down close to 130 and I was ahead by 2-3. 4th Race: Botched start...I was pulling up alongside in second and thought he hit it so I punched it just as I heard him honk so I let off. About a millisecond later he quit honking and just went for it. I made up his one car lead and by 4th I was once again out front by a couple. If he gets a cold air intake, upgraded exhaust, and a tune it'll be real interesting. :beer: I think a new 5.0 is about to become my next daily driver! [/QUOTE]
