yeah i had .106 he had .156 and i beat him by a tenth. it was a good race. but he was going 96 i was going 97. he shoulda beat my ***. my take is he really didnt know how to drive. or he didnt hook up. he done a burn out. when i do a burn out it adds a second to my time i dont hook up very good at all. so i cut the burn outs from now on. im running on fuzion zri w rated tires 245/50/16s brand new as well.

Doing a burnout on street tires is a waste of time. Most tracks won't even allow it. Looks like both cars make about the same power, judging by trap speed. So its is basically a drivers race and transmission tune.

yeah but he already had almost full bolt ons. chip programmer 3.73 gears that werent stock in his car. long tube headers full exhaust cold air. he still should beat me. im thinking that my car has a good gear in it. im sure its stock, but someone told me that they come with like 2.73. 3.0 something, 3.4 something and 3.73 stock. he only started catching up at the end.
