Reviving an old thread.
If anyone is still wondering I just finished racing one.
I got SRI on 18psi.
From a 80ish-90ish I downshifted to 5th, and we went at the same time. dead even the whole freaking time till 130mph that we hit a nascar curve in the highway and he had to let off. tee hee.
Next was a roll around 50ish, all I know is I was in 4K rpms in 3rd gear. I honked and were off. I was at his rear bumper, wasnt falling back, if anything I was reeling him in but I doubt that as well. I think his AWD NA freakin SRT8 (V8) engine has immediate power while I took a bit to catch boost, once I did he stop the small pull.
Then I wanted to go by a 40mph or 35mph, thats my favorite roll to my advantage. He said that he rather do a dig. I thought he was heavy, had more power, both AWD cars, should be fun. WRONG! I out launched him, shifted to 2nd and he reeled me in, and pulled me nasty style. 3 cars by 110mph or so. Those things MOVE! I dont know if it was because I sat on the light and then aside on the road talking to the dude a bit that created heatsoak, or that I dont have much tire tread left, but he beat me good.
The guy told me he used to own a MazdaSpeed6 as well with fujita, testpipe and 18psi with fuel cut def. and traded in 2 weeks ago for the jeep. thought that was interesting.
