Battle of the Superchargers! Lightning,GTP,Z24

[-Jayson-]

this was one of those races that will be almost impossible to ever come by again. I was driving to my house with my GF on a freeway, when i see this GTP next to me, i try to get him to race a few times but nothing really happens. So were just driving side by side, me in the middle him in the left, and we slowly get up to an SVT lighting. I get next to the lightning and let the SC whine. He instantly hits it as well. So at about 60 MPH we go, he instantly pulls 1-2 cars on me, like im standing still, he had a bit of a head start on me, since he went after i passed him and was slowing down. At about 70MPH i look in my left mirror and i see the GTP hanging back their as well. So the lightning is in front, followed by me by about a car length, and the GTP about another car length behind me. At about 90MPH i actually pull on the lightning a little bit, not sure if he was slowing down for traffic ahead of us, but between 80-105MPH my car pulls really strong in 4th. It was a really close race, each car staying about 1-2 car lengths ahead of the other. Lightning, Z24 SC, then GTP in that order. I said 105MPH cause at that point it hits the governor, and really hard. It scared me the first time. But it was just a really cool race, to have 3 supercharger cars all racing. One race ill prolly never get to do again.

Good race but I think the lightning could have done a little better, I mean its a full second if not more in the 1/4 mile then you.

that may be, but that has nothing to do with it when it starts from a roll

Nice race. Wish you could of had that one taped. What can you do. Great story. Late...

[i3o2Matt]

damn...i wish i could have seen that one...that sounds like a nice race...

Nice race but be careful threeway races don't seem all that safe.

Now to defend my car:

You know stock GTPs are dogs after 85mph right?

[pnoiSR20]

Nice race, that must've been cool.

woot woot lol

It seems weird that the Lightning got the jump and you pulled on him, but I'm not really sure how fast the Lightning is on the highway, and I'm sure the S/C Z24 pulls like crazy at higher speeds. Great race. Those GTP's aren't pushovers either.

Soudnsl ike fun, wish I had a lightning, but now that the SRT-10 is out it's a toss up, but otherwise you technically did get 1 kill out of it, right?lol

[TypeS]

If you only trap 91mph, then the lightning should have killed you.

^^ thats why you read the post, this wasnt a drag, this was a roll from about 60 MPH. . . and if you also read, my car pulls a ton stronger after 90 MPH than it does before. Thats because at 80MPH it pops into 4th, that means im really low in the RPMS and with a supercharger, RPMS=Boost. . .

I would have never thought that one of those cavaliers would be that fast. I guess those automatics give them such a bad name.

[Boosted1]

I think his is an automatic and it's fast.

once the lightning hits the higher numbers, like driving a brick in the wind still a damn fast truck.
