Default Raced my buddys 3V tonight.

Only performance stuff his 08 GT has that I'm aware of is a pypes catback.

I've got catback, handheld tuner and drag radials.

Was gonna get vids but night race vids suck anyways.

We raced from all sorts of rolls from 25 all the way to 80 or so. I put some good distance between us on all runs, Looked to be at least 2 cars or so. Got one good dig run in at a light, that was brutal. His street tires and 5 speed don't hold well against drag radials and an auto.

Good job beating up on that s197. I'm sure with some practice that 3v could keep it a little closer though.

It needs some serious driver mod.... badly. I'd go to honk 3 times and he'd take off on the first honk and I could still shut down his pull and pass him.

Many of tonights runs were this lol. I just told him to go and I'd take off when he did. I'd reel him in whenever he got ahead of me. And like I said, the dig was ugly.

Oh ya, I had a passenger as well.

Good runs, Explosive. I have several racing vids back when I had both a 3V and a Mach. The Mach had 4.10s, ORX, Cat-back, and a tune The 3V had 4.10s, intake/tune, pulleys, shifter, and axle back mufflers. The Mach would always pull away from the 3V from a roll.

Here's a quick one of both going from 65ish in 3rd gear up to 100 or so.

As of this morning he claims traction control messed up the run from a dig and wants a rematch as he thinks he has me from a dig. He's just gonna blow his tires off

Well, with my first time out to the track, my best time with TC on was 14.3 @99 lol. With that being said it wont help him much unless he practices
