I got the new turbo slapped on friday. Tuned the car for 16psi, and went out cruising saturday night. I saw a blue nova and a newer black viper in the opposite lane. I whipped around and followed them out to the highway.
We came up to the Monona Terrace tunnel, and they punched it a bit at 40mph. I stayed with the viper and caught the nova a bit.
I follwed them out to the highway. I knew the viper was faster than me, but damn.. I had to try. They raced a couple times, same results as in the tunnel. I came up next to the Viper on hwy 18/151 and we slowed to 50mph. I punched it, the auto downshifted right into my powerband.
The Viper nails it next to me...and to my amazement isn't pulling as hard as I expected. We went from 50mph to 110, and he pulled 2 cars on me.
I got a thumbs up from a f*ckin Viper!
We went out to some twisties, and the Nova tried baiting me into racing. Of course, I accepted his challenge. We came to a light right on the outskirts of Madison, and I brake boosted 6psi. I had a car out of the hole, and pulled 3 more by 80mph. I decided I had enough, and went into the exit lane.
I got a thumbs up from a f*ckin Nova!
I headed back to the cruising spot...and what comes up next to me? a white c5 corvette vert with an exhaust.
We lined up at 40mph. He got the hit and jumped a little bit while I spooled, but I quickly made up that difference and pulled a car by 65mph.
One VERY noble loss, 2 sweet kills. I'm a 60-1 compressor wheel away from being a Viper Killer! Definitely glad I didn't go drinking with the Madison Muscle Mustang guys.
