Raced what I thought was a stock 02 CL-S
I got played out big time. I was out on rt 37 with a bunch of people so my friend in his suburban could race this guy in his 94 trans am .. anyway this red 02 CL-S pulls into the parking lot we were hanging out at and his friend tells me oh he's just got a K&N drop in filter and thats it. he says he'll probably want to race you. so I figured what the hell .. hour or two later I catch a light with him thinkin it'll be just about even and I might take him because of my AEM. Well I got my ass handed to me by like 2 car lengths. Guess his buddy forgot to tell me that ALL he had was a K&N drop in filter .. and a 50 shot. stock he said he ran 15.0 and spraying he said 14.2.
he took me for a ride to show me the difference and I couldn't believe it. ever since I've been thinking about installing nitrous. my question to you guys is my car's only 6 months old, about 9K miles .. I'm worried about the tranny and engine. Do you think a 50 shot would really ruin anything if I use it conservatively?

I would never race an SUV either. Not becasue I'd loose, but because most of them are so unstable at high speeds. I'd never race in one either. Guess that's me though That is a sick truck though!
As said in another thread "spraying is cheating" I think so so anyway.

His peak tourque is at like 2200RPM, its ridiculous how fast he takes off. When I race him from a light he has like a car length or more on me right off the launch, eventually by the time I hit 70 I pull nose to nose with him but hes hard to catch. you don't expect something that big to move that fast

Don't get the NOS unles you have alot of self control. If you can use self control then get it, if you think its worth it. The ugy only took you by 2 carlengths, thats not really an ass whooping. I would think headers and exhaust would make that an even race.
P.S. I've been down 37 numerous times looking for people to play with but never have any luck.

are you serious? Saturday nights are usually good out on 37. Check by the white castle, the small wawa, or bob kislins. Monday nights have become the new night though because cops don't know about it .. usually even the old guys in their muscle cars come out to race on Dover Road.

Highway riding was always a gamble with my life .. but SNOW, I loved it in the snow. I'll have to say that was one of the best things I could've ever taken in the snow. And having it lifted 2in on 32in by 10.5in Nitto TerraGrappler's made it even more fun plowing through snow mounds in 4x4. it climbed through all sorts of shit... that truck was a beast.
