Almost

I almost went against a 04 ? 05 760 bimmer.. but.... some ass in an econoline messed that up.. Steve88 , the intersection where ec row narrows to one lane after manning.. you know the one.
The cards did not fall in place though, maybe next time.. I just checked the performance #'s on the 760 , it would be neck in neck perhaps.. he was driving like a jackass too, no signaling whatsoever
Otherwise , I have still NOT gone toe to toe with anyone and its been almost 5 weeks...

Me either. I had an Acura TL with it's nose up my A?? and I was getting ready to give em a go when we approached heavy construction and I took a detour with the help of my GPS. I think I was being challenged from behind.

There was a guy in a new mustang gt last week , but the expressway was packed friday.. Also had family in car so i would have not done anything ....but I always see him driving around. He got the "pull me over" yellow with the stripe..
In my neighborhood there are a ton of infinities , bimmers and lexus' . My motto is " Demoralize thy neighbor" can't wait ..

Most of those guys have no clue vv Like the 99 Cobra I embarrased yesterday, some folks focus narrowly on thier particular flavor and ignore what the rest of the auto world is doing.

Of course, with no Stage 3 badging, my car looks like a stock SRT-4, so he can be excused for thinking it would be an easy kill But the way he hung back afterwards, instead of giving credit was poor

But don't worry guys, your time will come

Ha ha. I wish I could have been in the SRT-4 when you spanked that Cobra. My cousin has a (non-riced out) 91 GSX with all sorts of upgrades. He took the "X" sticker off and it's hilarious to see the face on the guy behind you when you get a jump.

Right after I installed Stage 2, on the shakedown cruise, I went up against a 94 convertible Vette, maybe an auto, I'm not sure. Started normally, then about 5mph, I hear his engine roar and his ass end squat down. Through second, I started gaining til we were even. Then I hit third, boost rose to 18psi, and he fell way back Even though that road is posted for 55, he stayed three car lengths back, even when I slowed to 45

If your willing to run, be willing to ackowledge it

Nice kill. But even if it was a manual you probably would have taken him. At 265HP (pump gas) the power numbers are similar but with such a flat torque curve it shouldn't be difficult.

Any plans for the Stage III? With race gas it's something like 350HP
