[QUOTE="Fox Fan, post: 15748866, member: 49259"] My car is a '91 331 Turbo Fox with a T56 with 7psi. I was on 325/45/17 M&H Drag Radials. C6 LS3 T56 Corvette: On Wednesday last week, I was cruising on HWY 1 north of Monterey and headed towards San Jose, and a C6 Corvette LS3 with a 6-speed passed me. I followed for a while and after about 15 minutes, he slowed down a bit. I tried to go around him, but when I pulled up on his left, he sped up and kept his front tire at around my front bumper. I had the boost controller unplugged and was running on the 7 psi spring in the wastegate in my '91 Turbo fox. I dropped into 3rd and tried to convince him to take the hit. I even stabbed the throttle a couple times trying to get him to jump, but the guy really wanted me to go first. So, eventually I did. It was a race from just less than 60 mph. The tires stuck pretty decently, and since he gave me the hit, I jumped out on him, shifted to 4th, took it up to around 130, and he was probably 7-8 car lengths back. When we ran again, the result was pretty much the same. We took the same exit and had a quick chat before parting ways. He told me about his car and that it was stock. I thanked him for the races. '15+ Coyote On Friday night, I went out to the local street races. On the cruise out there, a '15+ Mustang pulled up beside me, and was pretty blatant in dropping gears. I played with him a little, and we got several runs in. Again it was a 50+ roll starting in 3rd gear for me. It was pretty clearly stock or close to it. After the first couple of races, when he wanted to go again, I just hung directly next to him until fourth before finally matting it and jumping out a few cars before shutting down. '14- Coyote Finally, on the way back, a '13-14-ish style coyote that made a couple passes at the races against some slower cars wanted to play. He was pretty smart in getting me to slow down for him. We dropped to around 30-35 mph and I went from 2nd gear in all but the last race. I also gave him the hit. On the first race, he hooked up pretty well, but I was all over the place in 2nd, then I shifted hard into 3rd and lost traction again. He managed to jump out around 2 cars, maybe 3.
