Ok this took place at the track in the UK.
Unlike you guys this is the first time I have raced another 4th gen f/body in the 3 years I've owned them and I go racing 3 or 4 times a year. Cause there's only about 400 or so 4th gen cars over here they don't all drag race.
The car I raced featured in an American Car World magazine so I have all the spec on it. A Vortech V2 surpercharger, Edelbrock T/body, SLP headers, transpac, 3.23's 50 shot nitrous kit( not working)
I get to the front of the staging lane and Ducan who drives the 94 Black Trans Am is in front of me waiting to go, so I motion to the girl sending the cars to the line that we would like to race each other after I tapped on Duncans window to see if he was up for it.
So we go to the line both do good burnouts and we stage. I hit it on the Amber and holeshot Ducan off the line and the whole race I can't see where he is I know he's not in front so he must be just in the blind spot over my left shoulder.
I thinking any second now he's gonna come by me but know I get to the line first. I get the timing ticket and it was a close race my 13.37@100.83mph to his 13.45@103.29 but reaction time did it my .275 to his .421 and winner by .223 seconds. About a cars length I suppose.
Now in the magazine artical thay are claiming 420hp for the V2 setup plus he has a 50 shot of Nitrous claiming a total of 480hp which I think must a bit optomistic as I am stock with a TCI3000 and 2.73's. He has run a 12.9 with the nitrous working, but we both had trouble with our Nitrous set ups so this was on motor.
Not a bad kill I would say! :wall:
