Default drag race

So, Just for fun i took the pt to the local dragstrip tonight. Ha, Ha, Ha. Needless to say i got smoked everytime[|)], then again did i really even stand chance against a firechicken with NOS. at least the 11.7 time was consistant. hmmmm i really need to find ways to give this car some kick.

All you need to do is grab yourself a Turbo GT, add Stage 1 and the MoPar BOV and you'll be running 9.60's in the 1/8. Add the "spring-trick" and you'll be running 9.30's

oh thats all? oh wait theres that extra $10,000 i'll need too.
before the turbo i think i'll slowly work on the .30 over bore, high compression pistons, cam, drive pullys etc. Even if i put a turbo on top of the reg 2.4 i wont be able to crank the boost without shredding the bottom end anyway.

No traction? I dunno chickie, I can hardly get em to spin when i want em too. never raced on a track before so my RT was reallly bad, not that it stood a chance anyway. Punch, even if i had the $2500 to put down for the turbo, the bottom end of the engine would still need alot of upgrades, hmm maybe one day. In the meantime my baby girl gets all my $$ lol
