This isnt really a kill story but just some fun we had last night. So if you are bored, continue to read.:idea:
Well a couple locals and i played around last night. It was definitely a reality check on my part. The sti and i started first. It had a stock turbo from an 07 STI. Previously we did some races and i beat him pretty bad from a roll. This time i was only about 1-2 cars if that from a 50 roll till about 120mph. It was very good to see how much of an improvement it made on his car. We did not get a chance to go from a dig though. He has trouble launching it. Not sure if it's lack of skill or fear of breaking something. No big deal though. The STI and GT did a roll and at 110ish the gt started to walk him pretty good. I was far back so i was just going by with they said. I could clearly see the STI loosing ground though.
After that, me and the 05 mustang gt played around. It had full exhaust and i think a cai. From a dig wasnt even a race cuz either he couldnt drive or those cars just cant hook from a stop. It did have stock tires and i was on 555r's(19psi) with traction bars
. We went from some rolls after that. We tried 30 a few times but all he did was spin. So i wanted to even it up a bit so we went from a 55-60 roll. I honked it off yet again due to being the auto. I jumped a head and held him off till i hit overdrive. I then told him to get up to 60 and just take off. After he took off i floored it. I managed to pull about 3/4 of a trunk length ahead by 123ish(when i hit 4th gear) but i could not pass him. Once i hit 4th, the gt flew by me and i gave up. We also did some 140+ runs just for giggles. The temp was in the high 60's. After all the runs i would assume my truck was pulling timing. It doesnt matter though. We all know 4th for the L just sucks. But hey, it was cool.
It was very fun and i found out my tune is very good since i didnt throw a rod haha. Nothing says security better than a sct2400 maf and a dyno tune.But this isnt the first time i went into the dreaded o/d in my L floored. It did show me that my truck can not compete with a decent car from a roll. That isnt new to me, i understand it's a heavy brick in the wind but ya gotta have fun! I really like those mustang GT's though. I did expect it to do well since they are mid 13 sec capable but not as well as it did. It seems with a little more work and some traction the gt would be done a good bit better. Hell, put some sort of forced induction on it at just 8psi and it would be game over for sure.:burnout:
