Yeah, I wondered that too. You were FINALLY catching up when I heard what sounded like a waste gate blowoff. 'Game over' and you had a 'ah well' look. You should be kicking butt with the S/c. Then again, maybe it wasn't tuned yet?
Do tell.

In that video Matt Galusha left really hard and I left from idle. (mainly to prove a point) As you could see from the video it didn't take much to run with him and then catch up once the gas was all the way to the floor. At the end of that vid the sound you hear is 4th grinding away... F/N syncros. And my expression wasn't "Ah well" it simply was "F**K!" because it refused to go into gear.
Listen real close to the video just before I pull on him real hard you can hear very distinct whistle coem from nowhere... thats when I floored it.

Something that shows the Vortech? There is a reason why no Vortech stickers are on the car.

i hear what you're saying but you went on for damn near 5 posts before you even hinted that you were playing around! that ain't no candid camera stunt. so calm down and don't get all hurt if everyone didn't get your sarcastic sense of humor. he's already said he let it go anyway...

It sounded like 2 crossing guards trying to stop traffic Hey Slim, honestly who won that race? I have talked to the guy a couple times since then and neither one of us really know who won. -Mark

Ah...that's what happened in the SZ video. Thanks!
Like I said before, I like the lower key look Mark's got going on now.
What kind of wheels are you going for? 17's I hope. 18's are too big IMHO for all practicality reasons. BTW, I liked your response to the KKM/snake comment.

I don't really think that was a race since it was kind of wet and since it lasted about a block but FWIW from my point of view which was about 4 cars back and falling fast  it sure looked like mark jumped him but then again theres nothing wrong with getting the jump after all he was running 17lbs of BOOST!! and mark was at 10?? I think from a dead stop he would have taken you off the line but then again what you had then and now are two different storys or should i say cars I would love to see a round two, and i remember him being very impressed with what you had.
