scottyMIz Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 i had to get some money and saw that same ss sitting talking to some of my friends.My one friend raced the ss and got smoked bad so they decided to line me up with him.So my friend hops in with me and we drive out to the road cuz we didn't want any traffic or cops buggin us.I told my friend to stay in the car(might as well)So we line up and he says one, two ,three and we went but then i blew an ic hose and stopped So i fixed the hose and we tried again my friend starts us again and he gets the jump with no wheel spin(auto trans) i spin like crazy and my front is at his door as soon as i got traction i start reeling him in.I hit second and he's about one length behind then third he stays the same loosing a bit fourth much of the same then fifth i maxxed out the rpm and he hit over drive and went on by.I was excited to beat him with a person in the car!That thing hooked like crazy i was impressed very impressed We decided to run again the other run was the same thing him getting the jump and me whoopin him till i max out on rpm in 5th gear.That thing has a whole lot of gear I wanna run him with no one in the car once he is suppose to come to the track someimt and run so i'll have to do it there.One time is enuf for me i had enuf adrenilin flowing to run a city Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR8ED Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 Very reminisent of me pounding on a 99-2002 Firebird firehawk. He had me off the line every time, but I was sqwaking the tires as I shifted into second RIGHT BESIDE HIS WINDOW, as I blew by. He never new what hit him. They do hook VERY well, as he could get half a car length in front of me as we launched through the intersection. It was all over after that, and that is all that matters to me. BTW now I run an LSD and wide sticky autoX tires out back. hehehe And an IC, And more boost, AND, AND, AHhhh will it ever end? Nice kill. Heard about the first time you met the SS. You needed to run him fair and square.. now its legal..uh er.. or is that illegal? Never mind... you beat him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 We have a guy down in Au with an Auto SS that runs 12.07's, and it just has some bolt ons and 3.23 gears. He runs like mid 7's in the 1/8th mile. Those cars are wicked. Good kill Scotty. Maybe you need to see about getting a little more overdrive or a taller rear gear.

scottyMIz Posted August 22, 2002 Author Share Posted August 22, 2002 i do need a bigger gear it kinda pissed me off when he went by till i saw how fast i was going I also looked to see where my rpm was and it indicated i had no more to give unless i wanted the rods on the road But i'm very happy with the outcome.I just want to race him at the track hopefully he comes out this weekend so i can really show him what the car will do.
