Default Turbo Cavalier

Ok heres the story I raced this kid in his cavalier that has 20,000 invested into it. So I raced him one and beat him by half a car, and he said he was pushing 400 and not hitting his NOS. So i see him last weekend and he says that my car isnt stock and if it is im one hell of a driver cause my car held up more than a 05 GTO that was supercharged, and I was like yeah ok this kid is dumb. So I told him lets race again but legit at the track and we exchanged numbers and he called and ask wat i ran and i said 14.4 best and he said welll my runs 12's on street tires with the govenor set on 110.??? Im hoping I smoke him friday and he said he doesnt know if he can make it but he will try, so hopefully I will have a video if he shows

he won't show. 12's on street tires governed at 110. If hes going 12s on a FWD street tired car then I bet his trap would be in the 140mph.

Yeah because when I told him I ran 14's he was like oh heck yeah ill be there and I wanted to see if it would change if I said I was getting LT's and a new mid-pipe and a tune and after I said I was doing that before the race, he was like oh wait some stuff might come up so I may not come but ill try to.

He said he whipped a 650hp GTO (6.0ltr) on a roll by 5 or 6 lengths?

Why would it be 140? I think that's a bit high...

I understand that 110 is not accurate...but still...

This kid sounds like he has some kind of Pinnochio nose.

Well he could have to have any amazing trap to hit 12's on street tires because he would never hook those front tires and his 60' would be poo with all that so called power without being able to get traction.

Lol its funny cause we asked how much he had in his car and he said 20K, and only about5K was motor. He is running a "400 hp" cavalier with 100 shot of nos on a stock block, nothing forged lol.
This kid made me laugh so hard when he ran 12's on street tires and a few mins later it changed to 13 flat
