TY #447 vs Lamborghini Diablo

So I'm rolling home from court on I-25, from CastleRock where I was dealing with my "aggressive unsignaled lane change" and "no proof of insurance" ticket...

Low and behold what merges onto the highway?
A Black Diablo! (Don't know which one, there are several right?)

Anyways I let him get along side me and I punch it and power merge to the left with him on the right with the AC on.

Hmmm 4/3 downshift generating mucho detonation...
Black smoke out the back and the dreaded "coathanger rattling in a coffee can" sound from under the hood.
Not to mention probably about E*2^10 degrees of knock retard.
Can you say a whole lotta turbo noise and not alot of go?
BURN FUEL BURN DAMMIT!
Too late, no recovery from f'n knock retard...
He proceeds to go steadily by me by like 10mph.
Hmmm, I would consider that a loss.
He was into it too, downshift and all.
Wailing like a crotch rocket. (sounded good)

I stayed in it though.
Screw the knock retard, Long live GMPP Warranty!
I bow to no one.

Anyways, after we both let off at like 110, he is probably a solid 5-6 car lengths on me.
Brilliant idea having just got out of the DA's office for previous infractions.

I roll up along side him and we do it again, now from like an 80 punch.
Sweet no downshift!
Just boost...
MMMmmm, way more controlled this time.
K&N wailing inside the cabin from hanging on the fenderwell.
Hmm, do I sense a plugged factory 70k mile cat restricting my boost?

The big surprise?
He still pulled on me.
Not by much though, that fucker!
Wait 'til I get my ATR catback and you Mr. Supercarlonghairedfreakmofo will be bowing down to the turbo grocery getter.
GRRRRR!

Diablo 2
Stocker Ty 0
Boy do I wish I had the catback on already!!!
Still sitting in the damn living room!!!!!

Even still, with 118 and the boost turned up, I know I could have pasted him.
It's not like I am going to daily drive it with 118 in it though.
Well I'm sure some of you do...
Sick fucks!
:)

I thought that thing would have been more impressive.
Guess I can't be too disappointed as he did pound me.

Oh, one ticket got dropped and the other reduced to defective taillight.
Gotta save those points for later!
Only 8 left!

Hey, still workin' on the Dish photos.
Her words "You are going to wait, those photos were supposed to last at least a month"
whoops.

I have a GMPP warranty, so, no, no GMPP motor yet...

Please tell me your kidding. He could not have been trying. If you honestly think you can keep up with a diablo on the top end...well then it dosnt really matter what I say.

Friend of mine once said, "Go big or go home!" :lol: Sound's like you got that covered Will. Hope you can get the jump on them fancy cars sooner rather than later. At least you're trying to boost. :( Still haven't gotten back to boostin yet. Man I miss the whistle. :lol: Soon. It will be back soon.

Nope it sure doesn't matter what you say because I'd lay odds that it's a "stock" supercar and that

1) Driver doesn't know how to drive it
2) It's still a fucking $200,000 12 second car.

Also, it sounds like you (jeckle):
a. Don't trust my ability to determine if he is "in it".
b. Think my truck is slow

I ran a 13.6 up here at Bandimere, which, at this altitude is a good run.
I called NHRA on what that number is for the books (since Bandi is OFF the charts) and they gave me back 12.6@106.

Not bad for a stocker, and at this altitude, definitely in supercar territory.
I KNEW someone would call shit on this, I looked for the Goddamn digicam while I was calling Hartman about the lambo (While I was racing, god I love autos) and it was at my desk cuz I was unloading all of our pics out of it from the prev. night of trans hacking...

Do I think I am keeping up with a lambo on the big end?
If 110 is the big end for a lambo, then I truly am disappointed.
I, on the other hand, was a few mph from the top of the stock chip.
So no, I don't think that I am taking it on the top.
At least not factory.
If I would have had the Kaboom chip in and race gas though, I SWEAR TO GOD I WOULD HAVE HELD HIM TO WHATEVER THE FUCKER WOULD DO.

Bold statement?
Maybe.
Truth?
Nope, just my opinion/perception with no sugar coating or fluff on it.

If you question my creds, then say that.
If you question the truck, then say that.

I'm not pissed, just be clear about what you are calling me on,
I told it like I saw it.

He even slingshotted me the first time...
Bastard.

Well, I wouldn't call it a "Ricer Fly By"...
I dunno.

He didn't exactly pull up along side me and let us go from a punch.
He matted it about 5 car lengths behind me.
I heard him get on it, and 5 wasn't enough to get up to speed to match him.
He was already movin' by the time I got my foot in it.

I am not questioning that you kept up with him. I could keep up with anything if the driver cant drive. What I laugh at is the comparison of your truck vs. the diablo. I just laugh when people see or race exotic cars with bad drivers and come on boards and say Vipers, lamborgini's etc, are slow. Did you race in denver? If so you ran a 13.6 up their and you kept up with a lamborgini. They must run like 14's or something. Not trying to be an ass. Just playing devils advocate. :D

Why would you laugh?
Were you there?

You know what...
Go ahead and buy a Lambo.
In fact FIND ANYONE WITH ONE IN TOWN!
I WILL RACE THEM FOR 500 DOLLARS AT BANDIMERE.
How's that for backing up what I saw?
Got enough energy to put your ass on the line on this bet for 5 bills?
Find one then.
If not, keep it shut man.
I'm tired of theory.

And yes, vipers run 14's here.
Some run in the 13's.
Is that surprising to you?
Come watch them.

I don't talk shit.
Do you even own a Sy/Ty?
Ever even been in one?

Damn get your panties out of your ass. Yes I owned a ty and have 3 friends with sy's and that is how I know the suck ass on the top. You have a very fast truck. :D

Ah the beautiful effects of altitude on n/a engines. :D Will, ever run an NSX? No match I'm sure, but I've seen one around town here in FC running against a turbo Lumina. Never seen a Lambo close up :(. Would like to see one in my rearview someday though. :lol:

Basically dude, you were saying I'm full of shit.
I lost.
Twice.
I'm not kidding, I lost.
2 for 2 to a lambo.
I didn't get PASTED though.
That was surprising.
That is what I said.

My truck is fast because I know how the fuck to tune it by participating in the community.
There are plenty of slow trucks to go around.
I've had my fair share of problems.

It would be nice if you wouldn't assume I was full of shit.
I think that is reasonable.
My Syclone only sucked on top with a plugged cat and the stock intake crossover tube.

After those were Un-GM'ed, it was very strong on the top, I feel.
I had good mph compared to the cars that were supposedly "Stronger on the top than out of the hole" like the Supras.

My panties aren't in a wad, all is good.
I just don't like being implied as a liar.
Cool?
