Gone hunting...

[meanchicken]

Went for a good stress relieving drive in the Grand National today. Still working some little stuff out related to it sitting for a year, but it's running pretty strong now on a conservative tune....need to change my driver side motor mount...waiting for my engine lift to come back so I can do it.

Came across an new M4....killed it....took about 5 seconds for him to give up...
Came across a Mustang GT....killed it...took about 3 seconds for him to give up.
Came across a new ZL1 Camaro...scared it into submission....and let it live...

We were lined up with a clear road...neither of us left hard, but both kinda let the gears wind up (I was manually shifting so as to prevent kickdown lag, etc.). It sounded like he started to lean in and he started to jump, so I nailed it in 2nd the my Precision 6265 DBB spooled like lightening, stuck and scooted. Looked in the mirror and he was waaaaaaaaay the bejebus back there....must have caught him on a gear change so once he saw me take off like a 10 second GN should....he didn't bother.
Next light he comes along side and looked scared to death.
He and I both knew his ZL1 was outmatched....no need to waste any more gas or methanol....

Oh....killed a Prius too......gave me some attitude so I slapped it around...

Nice. F' that Prius! The hybrid guys always mess with me too. They are torquey, but I'm always like, "seriously?"

It's great to have you back! Great Kills!

Welcome back. Looks like you have the Chicken back in shape and ready for battle.

Running better every day.... feels good to be back ;-)

An STi tried it's luck today. It was over pretty quick. He comes alongside the next light and he and his girlfriend were cracking up. He says, "I can respect that!"

Nice kills! Welcome back!

Reread your build. Yours is about as stock as mine; almost every part on both cars was stock on somebody's shelf at one time or another.

Hope your transmission doesn't develop a taste for tranny parts. Mine sure has and I'm going to a 2004 specialist this time. Sure hope he can get the tranny to take some punishment and run well for a decent amount of time. This will be the 4th teardown in a little over 2 years.

Trans is now billet in all the right places. ;-)

Mines been all billet for over 10 years. Big thing in last build was to replace the pump which had grenaded, the planetary gears were shot and the clutches were all steels. Not sure what went out this last time but I'm positive that Vince will figure it out.

The chicken is back! Glad to see you back in action!

Not going to lie, reading about your kills makes me warm and fuzzy in all the right places.

Great kills, Tim, welcome back to the mean streets of SoCal.
