Finally some challenges (SRT-4, SS on spray, Supercharged G35)
I got home from vacation with my best friend on saturday night, my dad surprised me by getting my new drilled/slotted rotors installed while I was away, and picked me up in my car. (after a week of enjoying the feeling of the turbo himself) So I'm coming back home on the long highway when I see a pair of lights dart into my lane behind me. I merge over a lane to let this guy pass, he seems to be in a hurry.
He pulls next to me instead, I guess he saw my gauges, or smelled the cold fuel or something. So we do the looks, etc. I look over and it just looks like a base of basic SRT-4's. I turn to my dad and ask what he wants me to do, and he says "kick his ***"
So I had left it on 8 psi, and we go, we stay even a little but a car got in our way so we didn't get a good run. My dad asks if we're on max, so I turn it all the way up and turn up the music a little. We line it up and he keeps yelling 40, but he stayed at 60 mph, so I can only assume he meant 40 psi....at least I hope he was on 40#....which got me a little excited, he honked it off, we go and I pull half a car ahead before we had to shut it down. Mind you this was with the additional weight of my dad (I'm skinny but I've got a big family), and all my luggage, so I figure 300-350 lbs. over-weight....it put a smile on our faces.
Later that night I was leaving to hang out with friends coming up the highway and I see an SS with exhaust tips ahead of me, we get even and slow down to what I think was 45-50 mph. and then he just guns it, I already had boost in kill mode, and I spun a pretty good amount before blasting past him. He said spray but I couldn't tell how big of a shot he was saying, he definitely pulled like he wasn't stock though.
Lastly, a supercharged G35 kept weaving through traffic caused by an on-ramp yesterday, once we got into a straight line, I was a good bus or two back while he was WOT, I floor it and quickly pass him in a very comical fashion.
If I don't get a set of DR's soon so I can hit the track I'm going to get in trouble
I can at least say there was plenty of room all 4 directions for all but the SRT-4 (mostly because I didn't think it was going to take that long) but it was good to FINALLY go against something that wasn't a piece of crap.

What all is done to your car? I know it's turbo, but what else? What are you putting down? You know, if you set up your garage, we won't have to ask you these questions 
. Would have thought the Camaro on spray would have put up more of a fight, same thing with the SRT although I deffinatly see you winning that one, but the G35 is a tank, even SC'd, I don't think it could hang with you.

Either way, OP, good job man, must be nice to have a nice turbo under the hood.
Red, I think his sig says in his other post 467rwhp, which should be enough to pretty much put 80% of cars on the road away.

Nice kills. Wish you knew more about the cars.

I would have thought the SRT and SS would have been a good run. I know the SS, even stock and on a 100 shot, should be making close to 400rwhp. My cam only setup made 500rwhp on a dry shot.
Maybe you just outdrove them. Either way, thanks for sharing.

Sorry I thought I had my mods set-up on MF, guess not 
On 10# of boost I make 457 rwhp and 516 rwtq. all on a completely stock block.
It was a little chilly on saturday night so I think I might've been around 11#.
I updated the garage, and I can't out-drive anyone, I'm an automatic lol.
But, yea I really doubt the SRT-4 was on 40 psi, but it was a red one that looks completely stock. But it's fun to dream that I can beat built up cars
(for the record I didn't REALLY think he was on 40#)
I don't know about the SS, maybe he was saying he was empty or something, idk
I thought he'd have had more pull in him if he was on the bottle too, but at the same time I was right in the powerband and just took off like a rocket after a little spin. He definitely had some bolt ons though.
That G35 was just funny though, I'll never understand why people bother with the VQ35DE at all, a max safe output of 400 whp, on a car as heavy as the mustang, with what I believe is an inferior drivetrain, and typically they can't pull very good torque out of their F/I setups.
Either way, finally got to face off against some modified cars instead of a couple ricer kids.
