I kept seeing this red Fox notch running around town tonight with Cobra R rims and some cool aftermarket hood on it, and he was doing some spirited driving. I gave him a rev one time going the other way and he immediately turned around and gave chase. We headed out to a spot to run, but a cop ended up right behind us. So, he followed me around for another 5 minutes or so, and I said screw it and took it to the highway. I turned on into the far lane and left it in 1st, and he tried a flyby. I hammered it and immediately stopped his flyby, but missed 2nd somehow. It felt like it went into to gear but just hit redline and free revved when I hit the gas. So, we kept on going. I got next to him at 55, in third gear and he wouldn't do anything. So, I tried 3 honks and apparently he has no idea of what it means. So, I took off and he didn't do anything. I stayed in 3rd and he got back next to me and hit the gas. As soon as I hit the gas, I stopped his pull immediately and put 2-3 cars on him before shifting into 4th. I let off and was cruising in 6th, when he started to come back up. I downshifted to 5th, then to 4th, and gave it a little gas to let him know I was game for another run. As soon as I do that, he drops a gear or two and just takes off. So, I dropped it into 3rd at around 55 again. He had about a car lead since he went and I had to downshift still. But, I pulled even at the top of 3rd and walked him hard in 4th. I shut down at around 90 with probably 3-4 lengths on him. He slammed on his brakes and whipped a U-turn as soon as he could and ran back to town. lol

Short story:
1. 30 roll in first. He hit it to flyby, I stopped his pull immediately and missed 2nd.
2. 55 roll in 3rd. Went on his movement. Had 2-3 cars on him by top of 3rd and let off.
3. 55 roll in 3rd. He jumped when I was in 4th. Put 3-4 cars on him by mid-high 4th.

 

nice runs... good kill... however... 3-4 lengths at the most? that's no slaughter in my book.

 

it is if he started in third and then let off in 4th lol

but seeing as his car only traps 99MPH.... that's another story...

 

Good kill. LMAO at morbid's sig.

 

It should trap a decent amount higher, but my launches were absolute crap. The 2.5 and 2.6 60' times (without wheel spin) explain it all. lol

 

3-4 length from 3rd gear to 4th gear is a anhilation lol, good kill Tspense

 

I also wasn't quite in a sweet spot for 3rd gear either. I could've dropped it to 2nd. But, I hate dropping into 2nd at a higher speed like that. I still probably would've had to shift so quick that I might as well leave it in 3rd. Redline in 2nd is 67mph.

 

Wheelspin/60 ft times will not affect your trap speed. I have a stack of timeslips here that show that. On any given day, my 60 ft can fluctuate between 2.0-2.4 but the trap doesn't move more than a half of a mph. It just means the difference between a 13.5 @ 104 or a 13.9 @ 104.

 

But bogging and lack of wheelspin will. A Gtech Pro isn't really all that far off on times and trap speed. And even with my old exhaust and street tires, I was running consistant 14.1-14.2's @ 104-105 with anywhere from a 2.4-2.7 60' time.

 

That is true, but a 2.6 time? Besides, I would think an LT1 with full exhaust, 3.73s, and whatever the LT4KM is would trap higher than 99 mph.
