Nice run buddy. In one clip, looked like you missed a gear. IN teh next clip running the NX, when you hit the red button, your ride took off like a rape ape.... How does it feel now? Better than your 03 KB?

car has LOADS of potential, but I think the driver needs better tires or needs better shifting techniques. He is losing time off the line as well as in between shifts. He has all the power to break 10s, just needs to put it to the ground.
Remember, two cheeseburgers in your belly = 1/10th. So, if he didnt eat at the snack bar, he woul dhave broke 10s. Hahahahaha.....

What a BLAST!!! Nice video! The first part was filmed at HockenheimRing. I am here in Germany as well and I been to 4 Race Wars so far! That video was good, but didn't capture the complete madness of Race Wars in summer time. It is out of control!!! I seen that same Pontiac Firehawk get smoked by a VW Polo. Here is the link to that video:

http://media.putfile.com/Corvette-vs-Skyli... times....And one thing I learned at Race Wars is......
"Sleep is over-rated"
Hope to see you all again at next Race Wars!!!

All, I am the owner of the Corvette. The driver/owner of the Opel Speedster stated he had a larger turbo and would surprise me. So, we took it to the Autobahn. I will admit, for a small car, his car is pretty fast. But the video don't lie. And, it was all in fun. For all the stats on weight, my race weight is 3,584 as weighed in Tucson SRP. The forged block is an Iron block LS1, not aluminum LS2 like in the lighter Z06. Mine is a 2000 FRC model. It is heavier. Besides, my race weight is with a stereo system seated right behind the rear seats adding slightly over 100 pounds, and with another passenger my race weight was most likely 3750 that day. Believe me, I have had my share of losses....so this is not a "bragging" video. It was all fun. I am out here in Germany, and have ran down the new BMW M6 as well. Took him at 187 miles an hour. Have not lost to any Porsche that has stepped up, but have not encountered a GT2, GT3, 997, or Carrera GT. YET!!! I also ran down the new Ferrari F430 for 12 minutes and when we pulled over...His words verbatim were "That is a very fast car"...I said "Its my Porsche Killer...But today.....Ferrari!" We laughed....The whole time he trid to pull me, but i was right on his ass....At some points, I had to let off because he was holding me up and I was not about to try and pass on a single lane road at 130 - 160 mph.....I did however, run into a very energetic Lamborghini Murcialago in Frankfurt and I believe if I had drag radials, i would have handed his ass to him off the line. That was fun! Too bad I had less than seconds at any given light we got stoppe dat to turn and turn my camera on. We actually made every light! Hahahahaha.....Any other questions?
Yes, I think I have lost HP somewhere in my set up. But I am only running on 91 Octane at 10.89 compression. LG Motorsports did my install and tune, and.....I am still running a stock throttle body and intake manifold. Slap on a 90/90 and there is another 35 - 50 right there. My cam is small for my block as well. I am running a G5X3. The tuner suggested a G5X4 for my block but I didn't want spring issues overseas so I lost HP to make up for spring longevity.
Hope this helps.....

1. I did not beat the Skyline. He ran an 11.6 to my 12.2.
2. Track prep out in Eisenach is concrete.
3. The Skyline sure did have 850 AWD HP.
The race was staged because I knew he would win by a long shot, but the people were eye balling our cars all day, so we made it look "good", for "The people". he woul dhav ebeta me hands down.
The driver of the Skyline, Freedy out of Switzerland, lowered his boost and said "I'll make it look good....." So, we both know when we starte dit wasn't really a race per say, but more a fun run. The best I ran stateside was 11.9 on street tires so I wasn't even close to keping up with this professional street racer from Switzerland.
Peace to you Freddy! Hope we meet again!
My next mods are new heads/cam, lowered compression and the new APS Twin Turbo System. Looking at a possible 750 rwhp.
