monterrey, mexico i get a call about an hr ago. "hey you wanna race a transam tonight"
i was just lying around the house any how so "sure" i replied.
15 minutes later we met up at the local gas station/taco stand/ donkey show
and headed north
1st run 40ish punch i break the tires completely loose and get a little squirely. so i let out. went to normal acceleration and the car wouldnt budge. we both pulled over and i was thinkin "oh shit the motor wrapped up pretty fast and maybe i over revved the motor and it was hurt. after better investigating on the side of the highway i notice i blew a hose off so we got it all buttoned again in about 5 minutes and off we were again.
2nd run 60ish punch we gun it and my car again wants to break loose so i let out a bit and he jumps out in front immediately and as my car starts to pull so does his so i dont make up any ground on him.
3rd and 4th run were the same
left at about 65 or 70 .
on 3 we both leave and his car immediately jumps out at least a car length.
and then on both runs, once that ground was gained by the t.a. not another inch was gained or loss. dead even.
i guess you cant win em all. true story
my car is 400 rwhp vortech 2v 5 spd
his was "380 rwhp cammed ta auto.
he said he has ran 7.9 in eighth and i run 7.7 so i dont know what gives.
maybe sometime we'll hit the track and i can hopefully come out on top??
none the less. nice car. sucks to lose but props must be made. kudos to the ta
