Default Showdown, me vs 04 cobra happened tonight.

3 races from a dig, 1 from about 20ish.
He has a 04 cobra with stage 2 clutch, diablo tune and cutback borola exhaust
vs me

First race I got him by it seemed a car and a half
second same as first
third I got 3 to 4 cars on him
Roll race I hit it a spun for a few, tc on still, then pulled hard and had a car on him and pulling hard before I had to stop, a hill was coming up.

Now I found I need better tires I had tc ON and still spun an fish tail all over the place but he never got past me, I also hit the rev liliter twice the first race and 1 time the second And I spun bad in first and second in all races. He said he missed a shift each race and his clutch did something weird.
I figure if I can fix the spinning and hitting the rev limiter I would get at least 5 cars on him.
Videos coming, waiting for him to send them

Thanks guys it was awesome. I know we both prolly need driver mod and everything and i need better tires bad, but it's pretty cool that I spun so bad and he still didn't get past me. His car looks so sick it's a black termy with chrome cobra rims and he keeps it CLEAN the car just looks menacing.

Awesome runs man! Vortech FTMFW bitches!

On the dig, though: what gear were you in starting around 20? 1st or 2nd?

The video: is it youtube, or from your PC?

To help your traction issue, you could also look into a set of drag shocks/struts or some adjustables. With the adjustables, just set them to a soft setting. This will allow some weight transfer to the rear and help you plant more. I have some cheap-o tires (and 3.55s, where you have some 4.10s), so if I want some more grip on the street, I set my Tokicos to 5 front/6-6.5 rear. Doesn't solve ALL of my traction issues, but helps a lot.

Upload the video to youtube. Click the share button, this will bring up the URL. Copy and paste in anywhere in your original post and the forum will convert it. Simple as that.
