99 3.0CL vs 84 Corvette
ok, so a buddy of mine just got an 84 'vette a few days ago , and we got a chance to race.
First race was off the line, we only went up to 40 or so MPH, but by then he already had like 2 carlengths on me. No surprise here, those V8's certainly have some low end tq.
second race: from a 50 roll, honked three times then took off. We were about even till about 75 or 80, but then I started slowly pulling on him. by the time we hit about 115 I had about 1.5 carlengths on him.
I was pretty happy that I kept up with him, let alone pulled on him up high like that, but I still gotta do some work on my low end (pully's, VAFC, nitrous
)

You pass the majority of the people you race in your '99 3.0CL? You should stop racing cars built in the 80's...
