The sad part is that I DID "lose" to this car :-(
(It was late on a 2 lane freeway on ramp, so flooring it to 60+ is the only way to go, so this is not street racing - errr really it isn't. You merge quickly, or you get run over.)
I started easily, and then put it to the floor at like 5 mph. She stomped it from the start so I did start off behind, but I never started to catch up either. If anything she was edging on me slowly :-( Now I'm all paranoid there's something wrong with the car.
Time to pull out the scan tool and capture some second gear runs (large abandoned industrial park driveway) to see if my 4000 to 6900 rpm times get better with the secondaries pinned open. There was one time about two weeks ago where it felt like they totally died out on me (car fell flat above 5k with no IMRC bump, sounded a little strangled) so maybe I could have a weak IMRC motor???? Or maybe I missed her second tail pipe and it was really a V8 that I was almost keeping up with :rolleyes: (yeah right)
