Folllowed a mean sounding camero SS with a nitrous license plate frame onto the highway tonight. Shadowed him for a few exits and lined up on a quiet part of the road. I downshifted to 3rd and inched up on his left. He downshifted and we both decel'd. He looked over at me and I nodded for him to go. He went first and jumped at least a car ahead. We were even when I shifted to 4th and I was 1.5 cars ahead when we stopped.

We gave each other a thumbs up and it turns out he was getting off on my exit so we pulled over and talked. His car was BPU with a 100 shot of nitrous (which he used on the pull). He said he knew he was going to loose when he saw my front mount IC. I told him I had no clue what would happen but enjoyed the pull. He had dyno'd 417 rwhp recently with 100 shot.

Not a great story but it has been a while since I had lined up with anyone...

That's what we like to hear Shawn. My car should be back home in a week or two and if you're around Greenville on a Sunday night, we can go out looking for some races. There are plenty of them there. Lots of domestics with spray and basic bolt-ons.

I mean no offense to domestic guys when i say this.. but tis not often a domestic guy will be the kind of guy that will pull over and talk cars especially if he loses. Good for you man hopefully i have more of those encounters i'm not counting on it though

jonesfromindia

i saw the exact replica of the starsky and hutch torino. i reved and smiled and gave him a thumbs up, he reved the living **** out of his and smiled back with his little son in the car.

great kill. wish i could eat v8's....

Nice kill. That Camaro is a reasonably fast car without the 100 shot!!!

Ya no joke. They've got some type of power programmer that will give them some decent power and cams always help.

Nice kill

not sure why the V8 guys haven't chimed in to call BS

AALT

I just decided to take a look at the kills section and lookie at what thread I found staring me down on the top.

I read the story, so now I feel the need to play devil's advocate...
I don't know anyone who drives around with the nitrous open and ready to go on the highway. "100 shot of nitrous (which he used on the pull)"

It was dark yet he saw the FMIC "He said he knew he was going to loose when he saw my front mount IC."

yeah it adds up, nice kill!

matty

ur a clown. and your deductive reasoning is way off. didnt he say he shadowed him (whatever that means) for a few exits? thats plenty of time to hit the ******* nos button.\

Lastly u are clearly a dummy....go away.

Actually Here in california there are alot of peeps in Socal on the weekend nights ready to roll with there Shots already set up. Ive raced a few and since it is california people here are dicks so it doesnt end up like they do in this story.

I used to run a health shot of NOS many years back in my first gen which had a streetported 13b. The nitrous was ready to go in seconds.

Ah, many a car watched the rear end of that little rocket...

i agree, most domestic guys are hard enough on imports let alone one with a rotary

AALT

so it's on with the name calling. then I bet they still call you matty the fatty the real dummy who goes crying to his mommy.

and probably a lonely *** 30 year old virgin.

If you dont have anything constructive to contribute dont chime in. Get off this forum you little ******* troll. Nice run Shawn! What psi were you set at? G

shawnk

I kicked it up to 16psi for the run. I still feel like I have some more power to get but I just cant find the time to tune these days.


While the guy told me he used 100 shot on the run I cant really be sure if he did or not but since he lost I cant imagine him saying he did when he didnt. It would be much more likely for a guy who lost to say he didnt use it when he actually did.

I didnt really grill him when he mentioned the front mount although he never got out of the car so he must have seen it somewhere along the line.

He was not the typical V8 guy because he said he had been trying to buy an FD and asked me if I would sell mine...

Ever hear of an Electric Bottle Opener?

I used to take roadies all over the west half of the country with the nitrous open.
