I was heading to my Wifes work today and a sweet black 01 or 02 SS pulled up next to me at the light (its a H/C car w/ 12 bolt/ 3.73s on chrome C6 Zo6s). Ive been wanting to run this car for a little while now BUT i really did not want to do it then (atleast not from a dig). I just put the 19" wheels back on the rear of the car (still sportin draglites on the front) and it has TERRIBLE wheel hop on the 1-2 shift with these wheels. I just picked up a set of MT DRs for my extra set of draglites to put on the car. Thats tomorrow and not today, so **** it, Ill give it a shot.
The light changes and we both come out as hard as we can on 19" and 18" street tires, he spins some, I spin a bit more and he gets out on me by about a a car and a half to two cars. It hops a only little in second and I drive through it. I start pulling on him as I shift into third, by the top of third I was able to get side by side and pull about a fender as I hit fourth. We both hit the brakes hard coming up to the next light. 1 win for me:banana:
The next light I was in the right lane that ends quickly after the light, he was in the far left with an accord or somthing like that between us.
Light changes and we're off, he spins some, I spin a little more this time and when I nailed second, I thought my teeth were going to rattle out it wheel hopped so bad! I had to let out for a split second and get back on it. All this was going on during my sideways lane change to the middle lane By now he has atleast three to three and a half on me. By the top of third I'm closing the gap. I hit fourth and I'm at his rear bumper, but we have been upproching traffic and he hits the brakes and I fly by him (he may have ran out of gear, or it was due to the car he was coming up on).
I was catching him, but did not get by. ls1 wins. :nonono:
Tomorrow I'll have the MTs on the car and would like to run it again from a dig. Then do a second gear roll. I cant wait to put a rear end under this car with a set of 4.10's or 4.30s (it still has stock 3.42s.)
BTW this was in my Wifes LT1 Camaro:dw:
lt1: 1
ls1: 1
If him and I dont race again anytime soon, I'm sure the tie breaker will happen eventually
