Over the weekend... a group of friends gathered together to play in the realm of high HP cars. The following was out playing:

93 300zx TT (NA swap, Stillen IC, air filter, BOV, EBC, etc; est. 400+rwhp)

95 300zx TT (injectors, stillen IC, air filter, EBC, BOV, etc; est. 400rwhp)

98 Viper GTS (stock, rental car)

99-00? ITR (JRSC, and a wealth of Jackson products; est 250fwhp)

96 Mustang GT (unknown mods; 5spd; 14.80s)

00 Camaro Z28 (Auto; intake; exhaust; 13.70s)

93 MR-2 turbo (MBC, 3" DP; 14.50s or faster)

96? 3000GT VR4 (Achohol injection, BOV, EBC, turbos, etc; ???)

and my Maxima (14.90s)

The 95 Z lines up with the other 93 Z on the freeway. 93 Z pulls on him hard...REALLY hard.

We end up getting to a back street and line up a few races, we mark off a 1/4 mile and begin racing.

93 Z vs. Viper, the Z puts a car length on the viper and keeps it that way till the end of the 1/4mi. The Viper's driver is an EXCELLENT drag racer by even degree, so, driver error isn't a factor.

LS1 vs. Viper, Viper puts 2-3 car lengths on LS1 at the end.

Ls1 vs. 93 Z, Z puts 3-4 cars on the LS1

LS1 vs. MR2, Mr2 gets hole-shot, but, LS1 pulls hard on Mr2 and ends up with 1.5-2 car lead.

Maxima vs Mustang. Side-by-side up to middle of third gear. Mustang wins by car length at the end of 1/4 mi.

MR2 vs Mustang. MR2 takes it and earns 2 cars at the end of the 1/4.

VR4 vs. LS1. VR4 has stock clutch, therefore can't launch hard. Ls1 wins by 2 cars, but, was losing lead VERY quickly. If the VR4 could launch harder... the LS1 would see taillamps.

Overall, a fun night. Everyone was friends so, it made the night full of smack talking, but no **** talking. Having the slowest car kinda sucks... but, it brought back the FUN into racing.

You had some tough company (although I would have loved to watch)....I would not even have shown up (to drive) with all that HP sitting around.

That is definitely a crazy fast list of cars you were racing with. You held up pretty well considering.
