Two Worthy Kills..

[CamaroSSBoy346]

I got a DAMN good R/T which game me almost 2 car length jump.... and heres the kicker.. he DID NOT Catch up. I kept pulling. I had two lengths on him by the end. Past the 1/8 he started to gain some ground, but not fast enough. BTW, It was a 96-98 GT, had exhaust, and a BBK Fenderwell Intake. I would have like to seen his face when the all might stallion got smoked by a bird..

...with a .5748 win margin...

Heres what I heard someone say in the crowd while I drove up the return road "THAT THUNDERBIRD JUST BEAT THAT MUSTANG"

The Tbird SC Arch Nemisis. a NEW Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. This was the top of the line version. Custom chin spoiler. custom hood, I was expecting a royal beat down..but was quite the oposite..I'm guessing he missed a shift after the 1/8. But even so, before he screwed up, I started to walk him..

GTP---------------TBird

.5624-----R/T-----.1508
2.5697---60FT---2.4359
6.9445--330FT--6.9149

77.51---1/4MPH---84.79
...with a .9848 win margin

Okay, maybe both guys had a problem (I doubt it with the Mustang though).. but.... "winnings winng.. it doesnt matter if.." okay..im done.

gohesd snd finish the statement.........."you win by a.."
ok I'm done with that.

He probably missed and shift..then again he may not have....overall, good going.

[CamaroSSBoy346]

I'm pretty sure the GTP missed a shift, judging by the trap speed. (But I wasnt sure if these cars came with a Manual?)

I'm pretty sure the GT was giving it his best...

[King Of Crunk]

yeah the GTP might've had those paddle shifters but i don't think you can really miss a shift with those....good kill...

[illegal_eagle187]

good races!

[speedthrill]

two very nice kills.

So what if they misshifted or not a win is a win.

[90redgt]

Do you live at a high altitude? good kills

[CamaroSSBoy346]

i dunno. I know I'm above sea level, but I dunno how much. From what I've heard, the track is unlevel (They built the track back in the early 60's). They say if you point your car towards the center, you can cut .5 off your e/t. I didnt try.

Also, the temp was killing everyone. The LS1 cars were having trouble breaking the 13's.

[BlackGT2000]

Man that must be a tough track. Good races.

[Habibus]

GTPs are all Automatic. Dunno why he ran such a crappy time though. My Bonneville when it was mostly stock ran a 15.2 with a 2.4 60', and it weighs alot more than a GTP. And the newer GTPs have 260HP instead of 240. The Mustang had some obvious traction issues.. Your T-Bird isn't SC is it? Good kills regardless.. A win is a win!

[korupt3d]

"...inch or a mile"
nice kills

[2000LS1Z28]

I'm kinda lost here. I mean do you own the SS Camaro??? If so, why are you racing the T-Bird???

Nice kills btw.

[Ghost96Gt]

the 60 foot time on that mustang blows pretty bad seems like he couldnt drive it very well. good kills though man. no matter what they did u won no matter there exuses.

I think it is possible to miss a shift w/ the paddle shifters, i remember someone talkin about it... but, my 99 GP GT (stock) has a faster 1/4 mile than that, so he either missed a shift or had some major mechanical problem.

try not to bring up threads that are too old man...this one is okay but some have already been addressed and are ready to die....i'm not trying to bitch you out or anything but if there's anything older than a month try not to bring it up.....thanks! welcome to AF,
