: New Kills
El Calor 12-10-2006, 09:51 PM So I went out and raced a couple of cool cars last night and wanted you guys to hear about it!
Race #1
SRT-4
Mopar Stage 2
3 people in my Jeep and 2 in his
I raced him from a dig and pulled him the whole race! Won by about 5-6 car lengths :)
Race #2
2007 BMW 335i Twin-Turbo i6
Got jumped on the launch and never caught back up :( Lost by several car lengths...I hate living at 7,000 ft! At sea-level this wouldn't have even been a race!
Race #3
2006 SRT8 Charger
Jumped him off the line by about a car and then pulled him by about 3 cars till about 120mph and then he walked past me. I guess there is something to be said for pushing a brick at 120mph :) Definately beat him good in the 1/4 though :D
Race #4
The Policia
This one was the one that counted!! Lucky for my V1 going off I was outta there!! Jumped him from the dig and we pulled him for about 45 miles :eek:
Luckily my Mexican race driver was driving my Jeep on a deserted road in Mexico ;)
PsychoSRT8 12-11-2006, 12:55 PM um.... 335i twin-turbo beat you? from a roll or a dead stop? cause i raced one 2 nights ago i was alone in my car and he had his gf in his, i had about 1600 miles on mine and 1/2 tank. he was at 1/4 tank and had a lil over 2000 miles, we took off from a red light,i immediately had a jump on him, by the time i hit 70-75mph his nose was next to my back door and then he hit the breaks cause there was a car in front of us. i tried to get him to race again but he wouldnt saying his gf got scared and upset at him. but they r very quick!
El Calor 12-11-2006, 01:57 PM The 335i did beat me :( But I live at 7,000 ft!!!:mad: So turbo cars have a HUGE advantage on me...sucks!
I was a sleep on the launch so he pulled out on me and I couldn't catch him and then the five-oh showed up, so we didn't get to go again.
PsychoSRT8 12-11-2006, 02:17 PM oh ok..hope you catch him next time =) btw i'm in So Cal how do i find out what elivation i'm in?
El Calor 12-11-2006, 02:42 PM I'm sure you could do a google search for your town and elevation and it should tell you. Also, if there is a near by airport they usually know the elevation. I won't think that you'd be over 1,000ft.
After my Dynamic Racing heads he won't have a chance :D
PsychoSRT8 12-11-2006, 02:50 PM haha.... i'm seriously considering that mod also, when r u planning on installing them?
barho 12-11-2006, 02:53 PM oh ok..hope you catch him next time =) btw i'm in So Cal how do i find out what elivation i'm in?
If you have the Nav, then you can find out your elevation. Just press enter when on the map screen I believe.
It will tell you your current elevation.
PsychoSRT8 12-11-2006, 02:56 PM thanx barho, i'll try that later 2night
barho 12-11-2006, 03:03 PM thanx barho, i'll try that later 2night
Actually Psycho, I just checked. You have to go into the Nav menu and enter at the following promts:
Nav Menu/Vehicle Information/GPS Information
This will display both elevation and your northing and easting location (Lat/Long)

Barho is SO right! I can't believe I forgot about that! I would already have the heads, but I had an unexpected business venture come up, so hopefully right after the new year :)

maf1960 12-29-2006, 08:50 AM I agree with the more mileage the better. I am at 5500 miles since April. Only started running it hard at around 3900 miles. Pure stock, no mods yet. However, at sea level and around 35 degrees night time temp, I have seen much more progress especially off the line. In full automatic, the 'machine' has embarrased the cobra 500 - off the line. However, he took me at the finish a quarter mile later on the street. Also, this truck handled as well as the mustang around a 90 degree turn at 120 mph. A little under steer, but it stuck. I will admit that I was a bit white knuckled on the hair pin but I wasn't gonna let the stang see that!
mike123 01-02-2007, 08:33 AM So here is my new kill I Finally met a TBSS on the highway 2 kids driving Iam in the 2nd lane going about 65 when on my left pulls up a blue ss dark tinted windows the pass rolls down the window yelling nice ride dude thumbs up for about a mile so I kick down to 4th and hit it they don't react about 2 miles later they catch up and it's on they hit it I hit 4th again by this time they went by me they had about 2 car lengths on me I hit the floor in 4th to red line hit 5th up to 145 mph they were at least 7 to 10 car lengths behind got off the next exit pulled in the gas station little bit later they pulled in and walked up to my truck shook my hand and said where can I get one of those (I replied it's only for the chosen few and pulled off) there chins were on the ground :D
kman999 01-02-2007, 12:28 PM not really a kill but perhaps an "initimidation"...
was drivin back from a friends place late on Dec 29th. At 2am, not many cars on the hwy. about 2 miles from my exit I see a silver WRX Sti coming up in the rear, looked like he wanted to take a closer look at the black beast with the twin pipes. He came up close then wanted to move into the left lane to see the 20"'s. I blipped the throttle a couple of times, trying to entice him, he kept up for a bit, then I mashed it and left him drooling in his own spit. By that time, I had to exit. he passed by and gave 3 honks... see you next time!
