i got challenged...

[TatII]

well a fellow classmate with a turbo charged SC300 5 speed wanted to race me. i kinda wanted to race him too in the back of my mind, but i never bought it out. well i was driving home from class and i got a phone call for a arrangement for a race. i gladly accepted and i went home to change my oil since it was time for me to change it anyways for reliablilites sake.

so we meet at some odd place and deserted place. the cars setup is a SC300 with a 5 speed tranny with all the bolt ons and a 50-1 turbo running 10 psi. he should be making around 300whp also.

so i figured with me being alot lighter i had to get him off the line and try to hold him off on the top end since we should be similar once we both got moving.

well we both got flagged down and i got the jump on him while he was spinning his tires. i was ahead for the first two gears until all of the sudden i heard his wastegate being very very loud and heres what i was thinking

me: yeah i'm getting him

me: what da hell ( he shot past me in third gear by 2 cars lead )

me: noooooooooooo thats is a freaking strong ass third gear!!!

me: what da he stopped pulling, but i'm not gaining on him either

so in the end after that monsterous third gear pull he ended up being around 2 cars ahead of me till the end which is around 110mph.

what got me confused was how da hell did he pull that hard in 3rd but we both ended up with the same top end in 4th. i guess he has more area under the power band but we make the same peak hp and he has better gearing in 3rd.

anyways that was one of hte best races i've had in a long and everyone in the school saw it ( it was in some desserted place at night ) and it was definitly a close race.

Nice death.

What's your best E.T.?

[TatII]

haha that wasn't a kill, i got beat and unexpectly either. no E.T. yet

[98StangGT]

Doh, my bad, it's late. Fixed.

[rice(er)]

2jz p0wahh!!.....danggg...i think this is the first time i've seen you post a race since i've been here (almost 1 yr?) vroooommmmmmm psssssssssssssssss *insert bov here* vrooooooooooooooommmmmmm psssssssssssss *insert bov here* *sigh*

[98StangGT]

I don't mean to hi-jack, but how in the world do people get these random AF awards? Like the fastest N/A 8 Cylinder? And fastest Turbo'd import?

[90redgt]

dang sounds fun...nice death, even deaths can be fun if its a close race. Some of the funnest races i've been in have been me getting beat by a car or less. That's so awsome when the races are like that.

[TatII]

every year they have a thread that gets stickyed and everyone votes for all these categories and like a month later, it gets tallied and they have a new dedicated thread on it. the person who is behind all this is underground_killer. its actually quit fun and makes us work harder for somethings.

edit: yeah definitly its the close races where the results goes back and forth is the most exciting. and yeah ric(er) the 2jz definitly is a impressive engine. my friend's supra TT just dynoed today at 360whp with almost nothing done to it.

^^^ Hmmm. So it's essentially a big popularity contest?

Kinda and kinda not. It's fair in my eyes, voting is done properly through Underground_Killah, and I know he's a fair guy and seperates the voting thoroughly and properly...

It's really not to often we get a race story from ol' Tat around here. I can't even remember the last race story you posted since I've been here...jeez. Well, I'm curious to know what is up with the SC300 as well. Sound incredible...hmmm, just imagine if his car got to hook up rather than spinning the tires. Wonder what would have happened then?

Good race buddy. You should give us more stories these days...what with my ass just mobbin' around in my little pick-up, I can't get any races. Been ages since I've actually, actually raced anyone...But soon I will. Nice death buddy.

[TatII]

i just realized that his car has to be making more then 300whp. the reason for this is because my friend's supra made 304whp on 10 psi ( stock boost ) and he only has a front mount intercooler, a intake, and a B.S. axle back exhuast with both stock cats still on.

that SC300 has a bigger turbo, higher compression engine, and a full turbo back exhuast. i'm guessing he should be in the 320whp range or more.

i really gotta convince him to go the dyno to see whats up. but yeah i barely race becasue around where i live, its not safe to race becasue the roads suck and there are waaay too many cops, i had to drive 30 miles away from home just to do this one race. and all the other short races i've had was kinda bs races cause we got really raced like the time with the porsche 911 and the LS2 powered GTO. i started but they didn't follow then the gap in the traffic closed up.

[turbo2nr]

yea that was a cool race but you didnt lose by much, that sc300 sounded strong as hell... maybe he has more mods then he says? eh.. ither wat it was a fun race , the race between ben and john was pretty cool too... well beter luck next time at least your rep for the ka-t.

Sounds like a nice race. Sorry you lost

[CassiesMan]

Sorry, saw that in the smiley list, had to post it.

Anyways, nice death. Gotta love how gearing can really make a difference. Dropped my C5R 'Maro about three tenths in the 1/4...still got my shit beat by a EJ20 swapped 2.5RS Coupe that was cutting 9s all day. Meh, I put him in his place with a turboed Enzo.*

By the way, when Tat said

Again, good death, nothing wrong with loosing to a faster car.








*BTW, this was in Forza...

[TatII]

hah yeah i first though you were talkin about GT4.

but i talked to the guy some more and he definitly was underplaying his car, he told me today that he pulled on a E46 M3 pretty good on the highway. that is with a fat 3600+ car so hes definitly making a good amount more hp then he says hes making.

i got played!! and since there was side bets, my 240 friends lost and had to buy steak lunch for the guys who bet on the SC.
