Default Sarge vs Stopsign32v....wasn't pretty.

Well Sarge had been talking alittle smack about running me at the drag strip. We had been going back and forth talking junk for a few days. Finally we managed to get together at a TNT night. I was in my Viper that I had just put the snigle turbo kit on. Him in his Ford GT. Now let me remind you that I had never ran the Viper at the track since getting the turbo put on. My car was dynoed at 1,059rwhp. I think he said his car was around 680rwhp (probably was sandbagging me).

Well we line up and the lights drop. Neither of us had traction and with this being my first time I was spinning hard but couldn't reel past him. We were neck and neck spinning and I believe he ran 11.0 to my 11.1.

I told him the next run was going to be ugly for him. So he decided he wanted to do a mile run and that he would blister me. So I changed my gearing alittle to shift faster since it seemed like I was granny shifting. Lights drop and he is about a carlength ahead until I hit 2nd gear. Man did I start pulling on him HARD! I hit 3rd and there he went. Probably put 3 lengths on him. Hit 4th and I believe he gave up. Well I was geared out at 208mph and at the finish line I think he was a solid apartment building back.

Me 1

What did I tell you man!? Don't bring a plastic knife to a sword fight!

I think we are going to do it again tonight, I will post up the results and I'll try to get it on video.

Haha, that's awesome! I've been messing around with the game since my brother got it. Once his Xbox is fixed I'm buying his second one off him just to play that game.

I gotta figure out how to hold the video camera, keep the car straight, use the clutch, and shift at the same time. Maybe I will wear a baseball hat and tape the camera to my head.

I can't believe Sarge hasn't seen this yet.

How'd you do? Definately wish I coulda gone. I was at Pro-dyno in Charlotte the day before. Had you not made them change the days we would be there right now!

My car still isn't running though. Maybe tomorrow if I'm not lazy. I did get my tires mounted on my new 18"s though.

not bad..track was better than expected but still spun about 15 feet. Its cool...they should have more tnt dates next year..just hope they don't change them up like they did this time. Hey..my friend has a fox 5.0 with some kind of unorthodox cam and a speed density tune. He says it runs great in the winter but like sh*t in the summer. Do you think Pro Dyno could get him tuned better on a mass air tune? I know they work on stangs but I didn't know if it was just newer stuff or not

Well obviously they work on 5.0s lol (see sig) hint hint

I'm sure they could help him out. Bunch of great guys there. Just tell them the guy with the white 95 GT with the 331 sent you. They will know who you are talking about.

RWD? I race no assists and use the clutch. No AWD crap either.
