Frightning Lightning

Wink Lost.....barely

I'm coming up to a light & I see a young guy in his SS Camero with roll-cage; huge tach; & sounding like a top fuel dragster or something. I'm behind him in traffic at the light; it changes & he's busy looking at somebody going the other way. He finally looks up and sees that the other cars are already moving & hears my rev. I pull up beside him & we give each other that little smile of mischief. We get to the next light side-by-side & he says "You wanna run"? I say "Looks like you got a monster there, but why not". Light turns and we are still side-by-side for about 15 seconds & he slowly pulls just a bit ahead at his last shift. We shut down & get to the next light & he says "What the hell is that thing? You using NOS? That's the closest race I've ever been in with anything & didn't expect a challenge from a TRUCK? I had to spray the s*** out of my NOS to beat you". I tell him that I do have NX, but my 100 shot bottle is at home!!!! I tell him maybe we'll meet up again. He says NO THANKS with a smile. We exchange thumbs-up.

'01 Black; #3710
NX 100 shot
92mm Pro-M
Autotech chip
430.5 HP; 505 torque


Is that current?

You say you weren't on the juice, yet the juiced SS with a rollcage (no guarantee, but usually a good indicator that there's some serious $hit going on) barely pulls on you up to 120 or so (you said 15 sec's). Kinda hard to believe that one...

You post a lot of kill stories...

ZR1 Vette (before your juice)

You mention that you lost to a GT in this thread:
http://nloc.org/ubb/Forum4/HTML/000673.html

A GT???

Z28 (did you squeeze in this one?)
http://nloc.org/ubb/Forum4/HTML/000675.html

Cobra (juice?)
http://nloc.org/ubb/Forum4/HTML/000815.html

What day did you run the SS? What color was it? There's not too many around like you described...

No flames...just trying to understand how this race was possible if you were off the juice...

Unhappy

I started to go into the whole explination to defend each kill & give the chronology of modification vs. horsepower & torque - - then I thought about a quote I read on here once after watching some "racing" videos, "I want my 30 minutes of life back". So in other words...naw. Sorry......sniffle, sniffle. F.L. over & out.

Cool

Im with Hankd on this one too. A NOS'd LS1 would be way more than able to dust a 01 L that didnt have its NOS going. Even a LT1 with spray. I LOVE Lightnings too but this is just a bit much man. That would be like my car with NOS barely beating a new Lightning without spray. Hell, I'd murder that thing.

Yep...full cage, juice, sounded like top fuel dragster vs 01 Lightning...hmmm

I'm not asking for 30 minutes Frightning Lightning...just some detail on your SS kill...

What color was the car, what road was this one, and what time/date did it happen? I'll find out who it was and get the scoop on their ride...
