Default Duramax!


fun none the less. Paced me when the light greened, I let him step fully into it and then wasted him. I let out at 60mph and was a good 100 yards ahead when he caught me at the next light he asked if I was 'chipped'


On a side note, screwing around with a beat old Celica I hit the rev limiter or I don't know what...seemed like I was bouncing but I wasn't able to repeat it.

i dont think so, it didnt sound like the rpms came up to high... I might have the ETC limiter set too low, need to check.

I had a newer accord with a horrifficly loud fart cannon fly past me so i wanted to see how fast he was goin.. got up to 90 when i got beside him and he mashed on it..

after i got thru laughin i eased on the gas and went passed him at about 110.. i slowed back down to 70 and put the cruise on. he revved at me when he went by so i let him do his lil ricer fly by. i went ahead and hit the boost controller and got beside him, i waved and hammered on it. 140 or so i decided to let out.. i see blue lights wayy back there so i hit the next exit and went home the back roads

Im back to doin the speed limit and not playin on the interstate anymore.

well you guys had me worried so i made a couple back to back WOT runs, one from a dig in 4wd the other I feathered into it. Scans show no slipping....well other than the rear tires.
