Default Beat a Lightning

I just got back from the street races and im pretty exited, I beat an 03 Lightning

He kinda got about a half car jump in me because he left early, but as soon as i took off i got a car ahead of him. I ended up about a car and a half ahead of him by the time we shut down. If my tuning was a little better I think i would have really killed him, im having a few little tuning issues that need to be resolved. . .

On another note, about 10 minutes later, the cops broke up the races and they ended up impounding his truck sucks to be him I guess. Oh well, now I can say Ive got a lightning killer

Nice kill.
You're over in OC, are the rules on street racing the same as L.A. County? You get your car taken away and its auctioned off or something, fees up the *** and your license revoked for a year...I think it's something like that for us.

According to Car and Driver, 14.8. I have never seen them run anything faster than a low 15 stock.

I havent run the truck at the track with the blower yet. The best run i got before the blower was a 14.8 with the UPD and TT3000.

Yeah I definately suprised him. He was acting pretty cocky, he aired down and did burnouts and all kinds of crap, which doesnt even help on the stock tires. . . So after he finally pulled up and he took off, I definately suprised him. He wasnt too happy with the outcome. The only response I could get out of him was that if he got a smaller pulley that he would be killing me. But he didnt have one on that run. There were a lot of suprised people at the corner.


I havent been out there in a while until last week when i took the truck out for the first time with the blower. I may go again next week but im not sure
