2 runs with a bolt on S197

Morbid Intentions · 05-10-2008, 09:14 PM

I was out cruising tonight just listening to the wings game because my comcast went out and I came across this torch red S197 GT with both his windows down and performance shop stickers on the rear quarter windows

so we line up.... this time not really certain what he is gonna do so I just sit there, as the light turns green I hear tires break loose and a bad ass sounding exhaust... I give it a snap of 1/2 throttle with no slipping at all and then ease into WOT, I get a half a car through first and then his car hops through the gear and pulls even going into second... then through second I put ahalf a caron him and we shut down

at the next light he is sitting there with a thumbs up and I do the same...I talk to him and we quickly find out we are both auto's... only his has a CAI, tune, corsa catback and LCA's on stock rubber... and I say "wanna try again?" and he obliges... this time I rev it up to 1K and try for a launch... bad idea. on green my rear tires hop up and down halfway through 1st and he gets a car on me through first and then into second I stop the pull and make up a few inches through 2nd and then we both shut it down with him about a car ahead

I get up next to him and say "nice car!" with my thumb up and he says "likewise!" and we go our seperate ways

tonight I think I just found out the best way to launch my car.... all this time I have been revving it up to 1000-1500RPM and then flooring it on green[&:]

1-1 not bad especially since u just got the car. Ur first mod should drag bags and better tires (if u drive stockish one) and tune and u are in the 12s for sure.

close, I'm waiting on the tune because I want everything to go on and then tune it then

I have a HPE S cam and drag bagsin the mail now, that's just going to sit in the garage untill I get a set of LT's anda catback

then after it's all sitting next to each other and a set of DR's are on the GTO, I'll take it to livernois performance and tune in the whole package professionally on the dyno, but I will probably be waiting untill september the way things are going, I have the money to do it all now but I'm a neat freak when it comes to having everything payed off and will inch into it part by part

Good races man, nice choice on the cam to, just make sure you get that stall.

Morbid Intentions · 05-10-2008, 11:54 PM

I'm thinking between 3200-3400 vigilante, I will have to ask around... hopefully it doens't sacrifice dravability THAT much

I'm sure this cam is going to tax me at the pump enough as it is lol

With drag bags, headers, exhaust, cam and a dyno tune, I'd expect around 450rwhp and 11's in the 1/4 mile.
