Nice race for the 3000gt

Well I got bored and we had nothing to do today so I decided to try and take on my roomates 2002 Mustang GT. His is manual with a CAI. I am atx and have just an intake. We start on my grounds around 27 mph where I am in the sweet spot of my first gear........high enough rpm's yet plenty of room to go. I honk 3 times for the first race and we go from about 25 mph- 67 or so. When we first punch it I gain about 4 feet on him (which I thought was hilarious) and then when I started to reach the very top of first gear and beggining of second he passed me with my front bumper at the rear of his door. Second race.....EXACT same results. I was surprised at the outcome though to say the least. We are going to try it agian some other day but for now this is it.

Nice race. You did way better than i thought you would. If you had a shift kit or transmission boost controller it would have prolly been closer even, cause our 1-2 shift seems kinda slow. Did you have it in first or did it have to drop? cause that screwes me over sometimes when i have to let it drop from 3rd or even 2nd. Well nice race and just make sure he remembers who owns him in the parking lot (lol you know what i mean:lol:)

Haha, yeah. I just held it in first and when we both started like I said I immediately gained about 3 or 4 feet on him and then I held that all the way till I shifted into second and then he passed me and we shut down a little before 70 and I my front bumper was at the rear of his door. I am looking for a digi camera that we can record it next time we race so maybe I'll get a vid in here.

LOL.. way to go! Thats too funny with an Atx... You now have official bragging rights over your roomate ahah, and when he says that he won in the end, ask him how much he paid for his car. haha noice:popcorn:

Glad to see someone around here appreciates a good race :p .

j/k

Like I said if we can get our hands on a digi camera I'll get it on video for sure. And if I do not get my 3/s racing him I could at least try and give you guys a vid of a GTP vs him.

against a modded gtp? who won?

Haha no, as of right now it looks like there is a very good chance I am going to be buying a Grand Prix GTP in the near future. I said if/when I race him with that I would try and get some vids.

oh, i gotcha...stock gtp's arent bad at all, plus there easily modded

:( you're not selling the 3000 are you?

The way it looks now I probably am. It has broken down far too many times. It is on it's 3rd motor 2nd tranny, 2nd ecu along with various other things that have gone wrong so I think I am going to sell it for now.

Well i hate to say it, but its prob. a good idea. I mean, if you put too much money into a base or sl then you could have just bought a vr4!

but I dont want to see my crew member disappear!:grinyes:

You have my word I will not disappear from the 3/s section. I pretty much know most everyone who posts in here. And with the money I have spent on my SL I could have easily bought a VR4. I just added ya to my AIM to liquid.
