Full boltons 08 Mustang GT

[fiveoh]

Raced an 08 mustang gt on the way home from the meet up. Talked to him at the meet, his car has headers,xpipe,cai, tune, 4:10s(maybe another bolt on or two i forget) and its an auto. He keeps telling me he wants to run from a 35 roll(I thought). So we head out and I'm in 2nd gear thinking we're going from 35 when he slows down to 20 honks and hits it... I hit it but am still in 2nd at 2k rpms lol so he pulls from me pretty hard... at least 2-3 cars to 90ish. We slow down and I tell one more time I was in the wrong gear. So this time I'm in 1st, honks we both hit it at about 20... he pulls about a 1/2 car on me(he got a slight jump I think) then I hit 2nd and he takes it to a full car, as I look down and see the traction control assistance button light up(forgot to turn tc off for both races I realize at that point ARGH!). After that I start slowly reeling him in at around the 1/4 mile(108ish) im starting to nose ahead and we shut it down at 117 with me about half a car ahead. Pull next to him tell him good race and he said his car shifts into OD at 110 so it wont pull hard after that. I wish we could have gone from a dig(and I'd have turned TC off) I think I could have pulled him more but it was a little wet and he said he had really bald tires and just spins.

nice kill!

he would have gotten you from a dig, if he didnt have shite tires...

he would have gotten you from a dig...

You think? Because of the 4:10s? I figure he would have spun a lot more than me.

i raced one with similar mods (4.30's tho) and stickies and he clipped me by a car from a dig... but i raped him from a 40 roll...

When we get our next "track trip" together I can just about guarantee this kid will be there.

You can run him from a dig then. Hopefully he's changed tires. I would expect that have my intake and tune done by then and I want to run him too.

Was that a 40 roll?

If , so did use manual? It seems like that would be a better way to do it; you could make sure you were right in the power band but then you have that delay between shifts?

Let me know.

Thanks.
