A friend of mine bought a new ZLfail (slush box lol) a little over month ago and the shit talking started before he even got it home.
About 2 weeks ago we met at the drag strip... not my thing but I wanted to beat him at his game. He showed up with Hoosier DR's and skinnys the rest was stock. I only have a few power upgrades (2.76 pulley, tune, JLT CAI, Accufab TB, catted x and SLP) some of my suspension and braking probably hurt straight line performance (Eibach swaybars and a 14" Baer brakes) I had ET streets on the rear and full size fronts.
I don't drag race often and I drive my car as opposed to the point and go slush box. 1st two races we were lined up side by side, I lost the 1st by .03 and was the closest race I ever had
The trap was closer than what the slip says... when I was in the right lane I trapped 118-120. I wasn't expecting his fail to be so quick with just tires.
2nd race I beat him 11.69 to his 11.77 and the heat soak continued to eat away his times the rest of the night. I ended up having the best ET and MPH between us for the night, my 11.54 to his 11.59 and my 120.22 to his 118.98.
My runs for the night were very close while the auto failed him lol
11.62
11.62
11.69
11.54
11.61
Round 2 will be when the cars look like this and will be on some twisty back roads ... I expect to beat him there too.
