Was out on the town last Thursday night in the Buick, kinda cold out, but clear roads finally. Met up at the local Macs store where usually it's all ricers with big fart cans. Not tonight though. There was a twin turbo AWD Skyline, new SRT-8 Charger, SRT 4 (that I beat in my previous post) 300ZX twin turbo, rousch stage 3 mustang, GT mustang with some modds, couple other guys around.
We went for a cruise through town, all the other guys were pinning it, racing from a roll, being a little reckless. I stayed up with them, albeit hanging back a bit.
On our way back towards the Macs, I finally catch a light with the stage 3 mustang, and the SRT-8 Charger. As the other light turns yellow, I foot brake it just a little, bring the boost up to around 0.
Light turns green, and the stang and Charger get a jump on me (1/2 a length maybe), we're all spinning like mad men, but me the most. I pedal it all the way through 1st, and a little bit into 2nd trying to let the ass end catch. Finally start to get some traction and pull around both cars, to about a 1/2 a lenght in my favour. (actually, the stage 3 stang missed 2nd, he was having problems all night, he said his syncro's were almost gone) Shut it down around 80mph. All three of us are grinning ear to ear.
Cruise up the hill, about a mile later, I catch a light with 3 lanes, SRT8 on the left, a nobody in the middle and me on the right. This one's right in front of the max where everyone else is parked, hanging out.
Green light, and I show no mercy to my tires. over the whoosh of my turbo, squeeling tires, my passenger screaming, I can also hear the Charger's tires whining a little. He hooked around 30MPH and started to pull away a little. I can't see my speedo needle, it's burried. I feel 2nd hit hard, and tires starting to grab and I floor it so hard, there's a new dent in my floorboard.
Still spinning, I pull, and pull, and pull and put 2 lenghts on him before we shut er down around 120mph. Close for him, but not close enough.....
PS Any ideas to help with some traction for me? LOL I'd have decimated these guys if only I could hook...
