3.5l 1 99+gt 1

i was out looking for trouble and i found some...this dark red GT ...we caught the light but this guy was driving slow no signs he wanted to go...and there was a car between us...no excuses he got me....but from 50 i gave him the jump but i pulled out alittle first anyway and kept it there ,maybe i mean maybe gained a foot to 120+ understand this is pretty open highway...(for those who know fivay north on 19) he said this things setp up for a dig so i said lets catch this light...perfect timing (little and 19) we go he gets out good no dening he gets out hard he put 1-1/2 to 2 on me and was slowly pulling away.... id say it's a low 13 car...it just goes to show how different cars from different speeds can vari....this is why it's hard to explain but why i sometimes beat cars that should be faster the LS1 should pull of 1.9 or better 60's in order to get there low 13's but if i get the hit and they dont launch well...they gave up there advantge ...low end torque....

let me try to explain what im saying in another way...to cars that were identicle in speed one leaves .5 seconds before the other...the car that left first would appear to pull away the entire track even though they're covering the same distance at the identicle time. (assuming all things equal)

if you got the jump, it may have been different.

It happens. I'll bet he was wondering what the hell you had done to your car.
Im guessing he had a very similar mod list to mine if he runs low 13's.

You went to Milan? Last time I went (2 weeks ago) there were some nasty Mustang's there... One Mach1 ran a 12.4 (on slicks) and the other one ran a 12.9.... not too shabby. Not to mention the old school 302 mustangs, one ran a 9.74... In fact, a LOT of the older Mustangs there were straight up mean... you know they're hardcore when they have another little electric cart to PUSH their car forward between races!

Check this : http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...hreadid=109309

On this run, I raced Bulldog01, He messed up his launch a bit, I ended wining the 1/4 mile by 0.5s ( or at least 5 car lengths)... few runs later he was ticking faster than my CLS!
