A loss :(

I decided to race my friends modded S2k which runs about a 13.7-13.9 and haven't had a chance to hook up my boost controller, so it was on my low boost setting (8psi-posted 260rwhp) I raced him from a stop...yeah he knows how to drag race a LOT better than me. He had his tires deflated to 20-25psi and I think mine were at 35 or so haha.. Well yeah I dunno how to launch my car since I'm more into racing at a track taking corners and all. SO at the launch he destroyed me and towards the end of second gear I was about 1/2 a car behind him catching up when my dumbass misshifted into 3rd gear...yeah awesome **** right there...He didn't wanna rematch This really pisses me off since I was neck and neck with a Modded Mustang Mach 1 that runs mid to low 13s..I raced that mach 1 on low boost as well, but this was from a 2nd gear roll to about 120-130 mph. Bah I hate drag racing ;[ Once I hook the boost controller up again I will have 300 rwhp @ 11 psi...then fix a few things and run 17psi..who knows what hp I'll have then?

Meh, nice death. Can't win 'em all man. Good luck next time. S2000's can be made beasts rather easily.

It kinda sucks when the guy won't go for a rematch. People really only do that when they don't want to risk losing the second time.

cmon nick we both know you will beat eddie you just need to practice more with your car
and get that stuff fixed but when you do i know i can talk him into racing you again
and sorry but the end of second is not the end of the quarter mile so technically you did not lose cause he is in the middle of fourth or maybe at the earlier part of it when he finishes the 1/4 either why that was not a race so fix your car and you can do it again i promise
cause mikes mach one will kill eddies s2000 and you were side by side with the mustang

i wouldn't even call it a death, your car is faster than both mike's and eddies. just learn how to drive it now, noob.

eddie also launches his car damn hard. i don't think you would like my estimate to rebuild your differential.

eddie doesnt launch his car that hard its only a 90 second 6,500rpm and drop of the clutch i mean he had to replace his rear end in that thing once and he only had it for a year or less lol and yes nick needs practice lol
