S4's back to life... Options

[kapoosh]

After spending the whole night trying to get the S to run well and more or less failing. I couldn't get the car to run right with any more than 14psi going at it. But being my last night in town i decided to cut her lose anyway . I'll admit i was a little worried, making a show at the track with only 14 pounds of boost behind me could net me some pretty bad losses.....

As i pull into the lot i notice an array of mustangs and camaro's. I spend most of the night watching, debating if I should even try to run. Soon enough someone comes up and says the maroon 5.0 wants to run. I look over at it, looks decent, and sounds like it's going to rip my doors off.

Someone comes over and relays the message that car is capable of very low 12 second times. At that point i say what the hell, it might be embarrassing, but after all it IS my last night in town for a while.

We go out and line up with his passenger doing the count off. If you can call it that....it went more like 1...go. I'm in shock that these peope only count to 1 and not 3......His slick's grab hard....I launch hard knowing if i'm not ahead in 1st gear, i'll probably never be ahead. 1st gear i'm ahead a nose, I hit a perfect 2nd gear shift, look over and here a terrible noise as the mustang misses 2nd. He quickly gets it back in gear, but doesnt have enough power to close the gap...actually the exact opposite happens, i keep pulling. By about 120 i have atleast 4 cars on him.


At this point i'm happy and start to head back....but he has other ideas, he wants another try and boy does he look PO'd.

So i say my passenger will count off 1,2,3,go. He nods and gets set. After my many times here, i know to be very aware that i may get jumped off the line. So the count starts 1...2...3. and off he goes. I launch a split second after he takes off. 1st gear were dead even, shift to 2nd and his front bumper falls to my door, i shift to 3rd and pray i can hold on. 3rd gear he inches....but his front bumper is at my front fender.....hit 4th and I start to pull again and shut down a little over a 100.
So the S4 pulls through one more time.......

S4-2, 5.0- 0

I wasn't trying to imply that you lied kapoosh. Just that someone is taking this stuff way too seriously if they want to hurt someone else if they did hypothetically lie.
