Saturday night I went out with a bunch of my friends for the first time since having my motor built. It was freaking cold outside. Probably in the high 30s low 40s. I ran my buddies 500 hp family sedan G8 and it was pretty fun. We done three races. One race was from 55, one was from 65, and the last run was from a 35 roll.
1st race: We started off at 55mph with me in mid 3rd gear. I honked it off and ended up getting the jump because he said he didnt hear me honk. I jumped out about a 1 1/2 cars until the top of third where he passed me and proceeded putting about 5 cars on me.
2nd race: We started at 35 with me in 2nd at 4800rpms. Again I honked it off and got the hit. This time I jumped out about 2 1/2 cars due to him spinning pretty bad. I held him off until about 95 (top of third) where it looked like I hit a wall because of how hard he passed me.
3rd race: We started at 65 with me getting a length and the hit. I don't know how I kept doing it but again I jumped another 1 1/2 cars out on him on the hit but that lead was again short lived because he passed me up by the end of third and put another 4-5 cars on me.
For a family ride his car runs very strong. I knew what the outcome was going to be but I love racing to much to turn down the opportunity to run my car for the first time. For a little 2v gt I feel it held its own very well. And no I did not spray. Have not hooked it up yet.
My mods consist of stage2 ported heads, crower stage 2 blower cams, built aluminum block, tko 500 trans, cfx clutch, aluminum driveshaft, 4.10 gears
