Beat a 12s Cobra !!
 
Hot-Diggidy-Dog!!! I finally have a rough estimate of what I might run. I gathered this guestimate from the 6 cars I raced tonight. (I know it's bad. If you don't like it DON'T REPLY)

Every single car I raced tonight were in 13s or lower.

I'll start with my highlight race. A Mustang Cobra. Looked like he just came from the track. We started from a roll of around 60. I down shifted to 4th. We took of side by side. We went to about 110. By that time, I was 1/2 car lenght ahead. It was a really good race. So I asked him what he runs and he told me 12.90 :eek:. My buddy was in the car, we looked at each other, smiled and said "Oh Sh!t!!" I pulled a 12 second car.:D Gave props..blah blah.

Second race was a highly modded WRX. I've seen it before and he told me run VERY low 13s. Rolled from 60. He had the jump cause he shifted before me, but when I shifted, I just cruised past him. Heck, I think I was about 2 car lenghts in front of him before I hit 100. (Dam, I should bought the camera).

My only loss was against an Impala SS, but it wasn't bad. This was another high 12s-very low 13s car. We started from 0 and I had an awful launch. I peeled out...heck, I burnt out through all of 1st and 2nd gear. He got about 3 car lenghts ahead, then I started SLOWLY walking him down. The strip is just over a 1/4 mile long. By the time we reached the end the strip, I was only about 1-1.5 car lenghts behind. I asked for a rematch, but he refused.:mad: He started talking trash and I told him to put up some money. He said okay, left and I didn't see him the rest of the night.:mad:

One draw. It was this LS/V-tech turbocharged Integra GSR. That thing was QUICK. From about 50mph. We both down shifted at the same exact time. We stayed neck and neck the entire race. It was unbelieveable. We went to about 115-120, then we both gave thumbs up and called quits...lol This race was AWESOME also. I think if I was by myself, I would have edged it out. He was alone. I think his buddy told me he runs VERY low 13s also.


So this is how I have my guestimate...:) Low 13s. Fun azz night too.

The only race from 0mph was against the Impala SS. The rest were from a roll.

I'm have a SR20 BlueBird running stock boost with a few bolt-ons.

BTW, stock boost is 7psi.

I don't know... we put air through the line and we could hear it open. What are the possibilities?
