SVT Focus Vs. LT1 Z28

[SVTonN2O]

Last night I'm coming home from Wal-Mart and as I turn right on to the highway I see Camaro Tail lights a head of me. There are no cars around so I say what the hell right. After I speed up and catch him, it is a Z28. He looks over and laugh's. I slow down to 30 mph, so does he. I roll down the window and ask if he wants a head start. He laughs again and flips me off. I tell him to honk 3 times. He does and we both gun it. I mash the gas in 2nd gear and when my tires hook up I pull up on him quickly and by the time I hit 90+ mph and shift into 4th I have 2 car lengths on him and pulling. I have about 3 1/2 car lengths on him at 120 mph. I shut it down to wait for him because he was slowing down. He makes a u - turn instead.
Wow, flipping me off must have felt really good right about then.
Oh, one more thing I was only running a 50 shot last night due only having 93 octane in the tank.

Well. decent kill IMO.

So you have a mostly stock svt with a bit of n2o and you pulled on an LS1 by 3 lengths or so? I'm not raising the BS flag just yet, but how?

If it is in fact true then nice kill.


-Edit:Hold on here...so you slowed to 30 mph to race him on the highway? Wtf. Then he made a u-turn on the highway as well?

This is not the only Z28 I have taken out. Remember, It was from a roll on. If it was from a light I would have needed 75-100 shot to take him. Tall gearing, a flywheel 13lb.s lighter than stock, 2700 lb car and spray go well together. I have been killed by modified Z28's and SS's but not stock.

BTW, it was state highway 121 in Texas, 55mph speed limit and there were NO cars in sight. And yes, he made a u-turn. There are intersecting lights about a mile apart where we were racing.

It's that magical hobby called street racing.

I call bs. I think ls1's would walk you. In fact i think a stock l98 could walk you and i know for a fact an ss would smoke you. Im not saying you didnt beat this one but maybe he was a bad driver. Want proof?






Proof a guy with an svt focus but with a few more mods than you

hi all, i don't have a scanner but i just did my dyno yesterday on a dyno jet and temp was 73 degrees Farinheit, humidity was 29.22 ci/hg and this is what i got

max hp. = 143.97
max tq. = 127.86

and my A/F started at approx 15.3 with a linear curve going down to like 11.7 as the rpm's rose



the thing is...all i have is an AEM short ram intake and i feel my numbers are really low compared to other SVTF's this other guy with his own custom short ram and a msrp cat back showed a little higher hp/tq then me... his #'s were 148.?? and tq was 129.?? it's not that far off... but still i thought i would be hitting at least 155hp and 135tq... cause i see others on here post their dyno #'s all stock and they are reaching those #'s what could be the problem with my baby, besides needing more bolt-ons cause i will address any issue to my dealer so i can resolve these low #'s and any help would be greatly appreciated Current Implants: Grounding Wires, AEM Cold Air Intake, Ford Racing Strut Bar, Smoked Nite Shade Side Markers, Home Made Shorty Antenna, Steeda Tri-Ax Short Shifter, VF Engine Mounts, SCT Xcalibrator 1 (tune by Wayne @ Hypnotic Illusions ), Nx 50 Shot Wet Kit

Bull shit.

Wanna know why?

Becuase unless you were hella outside of city limits, except for crossovers, there is no place on 121, both going into Down Town Fort Worth or towards Dallas, to pull a u turn, unless you exit the highway. Neither are their cross lights, save for the ones next to 121 going towards 820. And the speed limit is 60. I know, when Im home, in Texas, 99.9% of my highway racing is on 121 in the Metroplex between Grapevine, Southlake, North Richland Hills, Richland Hills, Ft. Worth, Dallas, and the best God damned city in the state, Colleyville.

Oh, and if I recall correctly, the Saleen SVT Focus with nitrous ran a 15.3 pass on the spray...

That's my point.

He twitches on digital for street racing then posts a street racing story himself.

Tit for tat.

[Slowprocess]

I got a set of z28 stickers here if anybody else wants to install them on their v6 camaro. I'll sell them really cheap, but please don't race anybody, giving them false hopes and dreams.
