VIDEOS: FD vs. Trans Am 30th Anniversary Ed.
Met up with some friends last night. A friend of a friend had a very nice white Trans Am with racing stripes. I'm told that the car has intake and exhaust. I didn't know this til the end of the night, but apparantly all 30th anniversary editions were automatic 
We all played around during the night til the end of the night, when we decided to run my FD vs. His car. He wanted to go from a roll (this is a tough choice, he could beat me with the Torque on the launch, butttt he is automatic).
1st Race:
We jump on the highway and line up doing about 60. I've got it in third prob around 4k maybe? I beep 3 times...waaaaaaAAAAAHHHHHHH! I leave him behind maybe 3-4 cars in third, and I run it in 4th to about 100. I slow down and he goe says, "Again! But slow down some man!"
2nd Race:
So the second race we slow down to about 40-45mph. I have it in second just above 5k on the tach. Beep Beep Beep, RROOaaarrrwwwwaaaaAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PSHHH! I'm told this race was a little closer, but I ran it to 120 just to put the exclamation point on it. We were all on the way home so I just gave him the thumbs up and said "Nice Run!"
This is the second time in which someone who's car is probably quicker than mine out the hole has decided they'd rather race from a dig.
Anyhow, really nice guy and it's one of the nicest looking T/As I've ever seen.

Jesus christ, I'm never posting in this section again. Too much effort uploading videos when nobody cares. I love how the 7 vs. Supra thread up there is 5 pages long without a video or anything but this one is like, Trans Am...*yawn*.

Nice kill,
Just remember in the supra threads there are always a bunch of people talking about how "fat" supras are and how they "can't handle for their lives." BTW have you ever heard what a "400hp, 600hp, and 1000hp supra have in common?"

Just because your thread isn't 20 pages long does not mean no one appreciates u man, I ask simple questions all the time and people just breeze along and dont care, dont worry about it BTW, great kill, of all cars on the street, big V8's i would have to say are the most intimidating

Was that 30th anniversary TA, the one with the 3.8ltr Turbo??
The Old Grand National Motor???
If so, with a little tweaking, it can be made into a 10second car
rather easily...
Good kill
