My car's the red one on the right.

Black one has catback and shortthrow shifter
Mine has catted X-pipe, shiftkit, Diablo tuner

Chase/camera car was a 430hp ls1 trans am. :D

Looks like the car on the left didn't even move. Nice.

YAH you destroyed him.... the LS1 Chase car didnt look like it was catching you TOOOO easily...

lol, thanks. I saw the T/A headlights in my rearview, all of a sudden start to get closer, so i punched it again. I thought he mighta been goin for a flyby or something? :D

ahahaha lol.

I need to learn how to drive ASAP.

:D:D:D:D

Good kills Georgey.

Dude, the REAL race will be when you get ur X on and tune. then it will just be straightmanual vs auto.

Oh ****, you have a 2000? :D Oops.

AUTO@!!@

yeah its an auto. [>:] [8D] With a shiftkit, and soon a stall.

What do you run at the track?

Heh ya we'll see, although Brenspeed is waiting on sleeves for my x pipe, so it might take till next week. The tuner will be here tomorrow, I'll play around with it on sunday, when I do my brakes and stuff.

I think it was just funny everyone was saying you were gonna lose, and then that happened :D.

And just to clarify, I had the INTENTION of racing, although my shifter didn't. By the time I panicked, I didn't realize I wasn't fully in gear, dropped it and hammered, only just to spin my flywheel.

And to 99, his 1/8 stock time is in his sig, I don't think hes made it to the track yet, although tonight I know they're heading down. Damn rain.

Actually, i just got home from the track. :D

Took some practice gettin used to launchin on the nittos, wound up runnin a 9.47 at worst. [:'(] Then i kinda got the hang of it and hit a new best of 9.28 @ 77.07mph, but the tires were still squealing through first and some of second. I guess i didnt heat em enough? Anyway, then i started gettin my **** together and having good launches, but was hot lapping the car hardcore, and wound up getting faster little by little as the night went on, but then they had to close. [&:] Also, my reaction times werent too consistent, getting used to the different tree and all i guess. 60 foots were all in the 2.1-2.2 range.

Was something like:

9.35
9.47
9.28
9.44
9.37
9.35
9.34
9.32
9.31

But i had more runs than that. :D

jim and i are considering messing with the tuner a bit to see if it helps.

nice kill

he doesnt need the tuner and X pipe IMO... a kid i know went 9.0 at the same 1/8th track that the OP races at with a manual 03' vert with only a shifter and borla catback on a 75 degree day. Same track where the OP ran the 9.2 on a 50 degree night. The Manual GT's should whoop on an auto GT given a good driver based on what i have seen (and having owned an auto GT for 3 years i can attest to :() So granted with the OP's mods vs a catback shifter GT, it should be a close race with the edge still in favor of the manual. If the Manual gets an x pipe and tuner, its going to get ugly real quick.

this is all assuming that scotty boy gets in some practice :D

**** that, im gonna start whoring myself out for modmoney. :D

there are been plenty of Auto stangs to run a 14.0 -13.9 stock on here. The first day i had my stang my Friends auto 98 gt beat me lol...... yeah we all know how that ended up the next few days lol..

fact remains that the 4r70W is a powersucker. The manual is always going to dyno a bit higher.I would expect the average stock auto 2v to be in the 215-220 rwhp range stock. So given the OP's mods he should be about on par with a stock manual power wise. I still give the edge to the Manual given the OP is roll racing. At the track many more factors come into play.

On sat ill be doing my brake stuff, and I got my tuner today. I'll turn off my rev and speed limiter and egr stuff, but im gonna leave my timing alone for the moment. I'll probably wait until I have my x pipe on until I tune it.

Going to family gathering on sunday afternoon out in east bum****.

I'm bringing a full tank of gas, because theres this really nice mile-long straight stretch thats pretty wide....

I hope to get a whole lotta practice in then.

BTW, might be getting a 1k bonus in from my job (the school not Sears). Gears and clutch anyone? :D

advance the timing, its not going to matter if the x pipe is on or not for that. As long as you run at least 91 octane (thats what my old GT was actually tuned for with the timing advanced + 10) you will be fine. It would be foolish not to take advantage of the extra power.

You guys were telling George is A/F ratio is off, what else does the canned predator tune do besides advancing timing and such? I plan on spending an entire day at the garage with the predator and a laptop. Just to see what I can mess with, learn a bunch of stuff too.

Its f'ing pouring downtown, *sigh*.

nice run!!! i have a built Auto and love it man it does wonders. i havent come across a 5speed that can hang with close to the same mods YET. As for roll racing i drop it into second and go from 40 to 45 rolland havent had any probs. been doing it for a long time.

the tune that comes with the predator is designed around a stock car. From the factory, the cars run rich. The Diablo leans it out a bit, as well as adjusting timing i believe. But this is on a stock GT.Once you start adding mods, the canned tune goes out the window. As i said, speaking from experience, my car was balls slow with the canned tune on it.

:Dgood races guys, he george u got pwned in the video against Jim. Was that an LS1 cuz it sounded like so sweet lol

Yeah, it was a 430hp ls1... big surprise that it beat me eh? :eek:

I DID have a good jump on him tho. :D

what ru talking about? when did i race u?

im confuzzled

i think they are looking at the one of your GT vs G's GT when he first got it
