We had a gathering in Lafayette, Indiana.
About 6 cars showed up and 20 people were watching.
98 M3(240HP), 2001 Eclipse V6(200), 2001 TransAm V-8(305HP), 2001 Audi S4(250HP), and 97 Camaro Z28(285HP)
I ran with 97 Camaro Z28 and Audi S4. I beat both of them with 6000rpm launch. I felt soo good about beating them. It turned out that I got the first place.
2. Audi S4 (my friend)
3. TransAm V8--->This guy was spinning his wheels for a second.
4. Camaro Z28---> could not even control wheel spinning.
5. Eclipse V6
6. M3

I did not run with TransAm cuz my friend S4 beat him.
I thought that TransAm was faster than S4, but in reality, it depended on who launched first. His TransAm had less than 300 miles.
Also, S4 had 1000 miles. They were just too excited to think about what they were doing to their cars.

Wow, I'm surprised the Eclipse was able to beat the M3.

I was surprised to see that, too.
That 98 M3 had 18 inch wheel. I think that was why he lost to everyone. Also, he had no modifications on his engine.
Just huge wheels and tires.
We all became friends after racing.

My only modifications were Injen Intake and Mufflers.


Watch out when you race with Z28 or TransAm. They can't control the power. They might hit your car from very bad launching.
