I ran that guy three times. I beat him once though, by a fender. He had a better e/t, but I got him so bad on reaction time it was rediculous.

Vic
he was prob letting the turbo spool...

A turbo wont spool unless its under load, and revving your engine is not putting a load on it.

It's bone stock. The emissions crap was already removed when I bought the car. I bet with some drag radials, I'll be into the 14's.

ellavation of the track... what the condition of his tune up was.... there are alot of factors to determine why he couldnt get into the 14's. i ran pretty much the same times with my car when i went to the track and all my car had was a american thunder cat-back a home made CAI(kinda a warm air intake actually lol) and autozone special valuecraft wires and cap and rotor. also i had a 10 inch sub in the back and a 800 watt amp and a tool box for a just in case and a cooler. pluss i am 6'4, almost 300lbs so i was weighing the car down a little.lol
