Sti-Cobb stage 1 tune

Frs-OFH and stage 2 uel e85 tune.

We even swapped cars and had a few more goes with pretty much the same results. The fa20 did much better than I expected!

Nice
Cobb stage 1 puts them at like 250-260 at the wheels.

My first real "come race me bro" encounter, that does not entail a civic revving it's engine at me, came a couple of hours ago: I was driving down the highway on the furthest right lane (4 lane highway). A 350z spotted me and moved from the HOV lane all the way to the lane beside me. I slowed down to 50mph and he did too. He then started to pace me and I already knew what he was trying to do.

I looked his way with a smile and he rolled down his window. I then shook my head and gave a friendly wave and he returned a look of disappointment then a smile. After about 10 more seconds, he took off and shot down the highway.

At least it was a calm encounter and not one where it could've became dangerous - brake checking, continued pacing, tailgating, etc.

I always enjoy hearing when the encounter is with two reasonable people. That break checking and pacing stuff is ridiculous. It's so unnecessary.

First time at the drag strip tonight. Ran 5 times total. Very addicting to try to get the perfect launch and solid shifts. Got a few videos I'll post up later. This is my last and best run of the night. I was in the left lane. Ran against an S2K but he unfortunately really messed up right outa the gates. I was looking forward to having a solid race with him even if I lost. Tho I am pleased to have at least made it into the 14s

Racing the big v8s back in the 70s we would be overjoyed to get that time with a car that cost under $50k (adjusted for inflation). Really shows how the tech and expectations have evolved.

i used to get it a lot in the UK when I drove a highly modified st185, the car looked more or less stock from the outside but had a st205 transmission, forged block and a pile of extras pushing it to the high 500s
Despite having the power to easily beat most of the cars that would challenge me I never saw the point, now I live in japan i've not once had a challenge of anyone both in my 86 and in the R34 GTR I had drove previously.
Kind of glad too, most of the roads I drive on are barely wide enough for two way traffic let alone drag racing.

I would go as far as saying that If i had a rocketbunny v1 kit I might not actually be able to get in and out of my main access road.

I don't know how you accidentally start out in second gear. But it's too bad. S2K man said his fasted run of the night was 14.7. It could have been a good race

Nice job. Always nice to see a video of runs.

Not sure why, but my "come race me bro" encounters are about 90% pick up trucks and only 10% cars.

Same lol

Had a lifted diesel Ram tailgate me, get beside me at a stoplight, and 'roll coal' on me the other day. ayo central Minnesota. :(
