L99 vs my 06 GT

[ibznu2010]

He was in the right gear 2nd that is at 45 kick. I have L-99 and mine is a terror at that kick. Just the lighter stang prevailed. I pulled 360 on dyno with cai & headers. Adding diablo sport this week. I also say let the auto do its thing because the computer is faster and more precise. Thats my opinion.

Rolling aint Racing !!!

That said good kill.

(And no its not because its a stang or whatever, I always grats a "good kill" to the winner

BUUUUT ROLLING AINT RACING !!

Tapshift is something to make an automatic a little more fun... or supposed to however its not like driving a manual. I probably will never use my tapshift.

yeah you can shift when you want with tapshift but with the delay a guy/woman with a manual can engaged quicker.

I have to agree for the most part with the tap shift comments.

With the tap shifts (on the A6 SS) you have to anticipate the shift. The RMP's fly up the tach so fast you have to hit the tap shift at 5300 rpms to make it shift at 5700 rpm. I've hit the rev limter on numerous occasions trying to run wide open using the tap shifts.
You have to work the tap shift perfectly to match the computer. I personally don't ever use the tap shift if I'm racing.

Now just playing around the tap shifts can be fun. But if a fast car pulls along side of me, I'm going to make sure the computer does the shifting.

All of our patrol cars are older than 04 except the late model Impalas. I wouldn't even run them against my Jeep.

hahaha i agree rolling aint racing but i gave him the race he wanted and that was a 45 or 50 roll....i have been looking to run a new SS for so long i didnt care if it was from a dig or a roll but i will say this if we went from a dig you could add another car length to my margin of victory cuz i would murder that thing out of the hole with my gearing

We've got a couple 06 Vic's as well, still don't think I'd run anyone, lol. Right after I started at my current department the nightshift had a pursuit involving a v6 Chally. They say the Chally walked them until ISP showed up from the north end and boxed dude in. A v6 Chally? Okay.



On with the thread.

Well here in Panhandle of Florida the FHP still has the Camaro Z/28 that thing is scary fast. And they aren't scared of catching ANYONE. I heard a roded out Saleen Mustage tried to get away...ya well that didn't work out to well.

[grocerygetter]

my buddy has a sn197 car...I've hurt feelings on a few GT's around here for sure. My car, tuned, and that's it...pulled him hard above 60mph. From a dead stop the mustang was .15-.2 quicker at the track. After the TM tuning, I put .2-.3 on his best track time.

Dang you could die watching TV - You could die and/or kill someone at the track.

I dont agree with street racing but lets keep it real here guys we are not children. We are responsible and accountable for everything we do.. Leave the lectures for your kids...

[0-60n4.6]

im not just some S197 i mean pretty modified everything you can bolt on to add power and a 12.8 1/4 on street tires.....the kid just got a CAI and Tuner so we are going to run again this weekend but i just had LT headers put on so it may even out again

If you drive that amazingly, you should go autocrossing or circuit racing and post some videos for us.

Jesus, don't get your panties in a wad...He has a lighter car and a 3.90 gear. It isn't that hard to believe. He also told his friend with the camaro to join this forum....

Wow...you're one hell of a fanboy. BigHemiSRT said it very well:

Its not always about who has the most power in racing ya know. I have a Charger that would smack around 75% of the Camaros on this site, but that doesnt mean I cant go out tomorrow and get my a$$ handed to me by some Civic. Your cars are very beautiful and fast but just because someone posts on here that he beat a 2010 Camaro dont think that hes talking trash and trying to start a pissing contest. The guy was very respecful in his post IMO.

This is a public forum where ANYONE can join and discuss.

Also, you must be retarded because you have your VIN posted as well as the city you live in. It's not hard to get a copy of your key and steal your car. All you have to do is know the right people....You should do something about that...

oh, and as far as the roll vs dig racing, roll racing compares cars, dig racing compares drivers...
