Awesome night!
So I'm driving around tonight relaxing in the IROC. There were tons of cars out, I seen like four races just cruising around.
Anyway, two newer silver mustang gt's fly by me. And I catch one of them at a light
I didn't talk to the kid but it definitely had exhaust.
Light turns green, we both spin (Errrr I usually never spin as bad as I did
). So we both get traction and we are dead even, at the top of first he pulled a tiny bit on me, then when he shifted into second (5 speed) I caught back up with him and we were close again. But then through the beginning of second I was at his door and we shutdown.
I am still kind of pissed, I spun more then him. If I would have gotten a normal launch I think it would have been closer.

Sounds about right. Both lost traction and stayed even, but I think he might have pulled in the high RPMs, because the TPIs dont really like the RPM!

With TPI you gotta get that good launch and take advantage of the low-mid RPM power to get ahead and try to stay that way. High RPM and TPI just don't exist unless its modified.

I could have raped him outta the hole if I got traction
