Yeah, he was super smug afterwards too. REALLY complimenting my car, "man you had me worried for a second", normal conversation for normal folks, but to me I feel he was trying to be sly. He's quicker on his street tire than I am for sure, but dont see a 8.19 on the same tire he ran on Saturday. But no worries on my end, he got me that time.

Makes me wonder what that 2v had done? He's running 4 tenths quicker than me? Maybe with my new tires I can cut something similar to that? I hate smug, I'm confident and all but smugness bugs me. I wish you had treed him lol

Over the past 2 years hes gotten a pretty good driver mod and learning to get cars out tge hole on street tires when at the track but its a 98gt with an 02 pi swapped motor and full bolt on's minus udp's and lt's. Has 3.73's and the spare tire removed put down 261whp 303wtq and ill admit its a pretty strong 2v car for sure.

I think with a bit more track practice and learning your car from a stop along with another bolt on or 2 you can get to those times crash

Sick car 97! I'm curious what kind of times your brother would pull off in your car....8.1? 8.0?

OP,

LOVED that video. You definately have an impressive ride. Nice times!! If it were me, I might be tempted to hide a small shot of nitrous on it, and go run some 7.80-7.90s and watch peoples jaws drop

Damn impressive times as usual. You make me want to do a CAI/Tune/Gear swap so bad.

Lol go on and keep your 100 bux bc I highly doubt I could drop the et's on that car 2 tenths. But it would be fun as hell making a few passes in the 6er for sure! !
