4th Gen Lt1....
So im driving along a few days ago and I hear a rumble on my side. I look over and its an early 4th gen trans am. I don't make much of it. Until I look over and see a blonde in the passenger seat looking over smiling along with the driver looking at me. Then he started pacing me around 45mph. So I put it in D instead of OD and my exhaust was lets just say a "tad" bit louder-lol.
So this goes on for a while until both cars in our lanes turned off, leaving us with a nice stretch of road. Both cars slowed down to turn off so we both slowed down to about 15-20 mph. As soon as they turned we both dropped the hammer (I was mad, wanted him at a light) show him some 350 TPI tOrQuE
Anyway I pull about a half car on him right away (Boy did I get excited
). Then he slowly started catching up to me. By about 70-80 (I think, I wasnt watchin the speedo, but it was around there) we were neck and neck and shutdown because of traffic ahead stopped at a red light. Even though I would have stopped anyway because I usually dont go higher then 65-70 if I race.
So Im pretty proud of the IROC :hail: If we would have kept going past 70-80 he would have won because he was slowly pulling on me. He had an A4 also. When I go WOT, I always watch my tac and not my speedo. I dunno why though

Yup, the L98 has the TQ advantage.
Good that you are racing in Drive now.

Pffft what do you not remember??
Nintendo Wires = Horsepower!
I asked this before and kinda didnt understand.
IROCZTWENTYGR8 tried to explain but I still dont get it.
We raced through first and second. OD = 4th. So what would it matter if I was in D and he was In OD anyways.......? Because everyone says "Race in D not OD".
****, you're right. But you need Nintendo STICKERS to get the full advantage of the wires. I bet you forgot that part! Never worry about losing to an LT1 once you use the wires and stickers. If you could find a huge nintendo sticker to put on your windshield that would be ph4t y0. g90dgf98g9d80gd!

Doh, I don't got any stickers
I did find this in my basement though:
You know where I could plug that puppy in for some horsepower?
Hmm....Or I can have the trigger be a Nawwwwwwwwwwwws Switch!
