also i will say this, he did have his girlfriend in the car and maybe she freaked out or something but regardless i whooped him and i rode out the gears in tap shift mode damn close to the red line from 2nd gear through 4th
yea it did. i was just sayin cuz i drove a gxp right when they came out and the gears were horried and you could tell. i bet its a whole new animal for ya.
for those of you from michigan you'll know the roads, i was on I-275 just south of I-696 and i came across a WS-6 TA so i kick it down to second at a 65 roll and killed him, slowed down at once i hit 100 and he got next to me again so we went again and got him again we slowed down and he was about a length ahead and rev'd it so we went at it a 3rd time giving him that head start and spanked him again. he looked so pissed, and i know he was moded, exhaust for sure and some work under the hood, had gauges up the pillar and it sounded really mean when he hit it, so far i am really impressed with the gxp's performance being bone stock cant wait to see how much better it runs with some mods when i get the$$$
lets not forget here that hp sells cars and torque wins races, my guess is that he was over cammed and had to much power drop off on the low end because he got me from the get but i pulled out ahead when the r's got higher

if you want to discount the story then have the knowledge to do so... to much cam will do exactly that--- you lose power on the top end gives you great launch and 2k-3500or so power but once you climb above that your power curve drops drastically keep in mind here i stated that we went from a 65mph start speed, i never said that if we started from a light i would still beat him, im simply telling the story of what happened and putting up thoughts as to how i beat him, and as for the year as i saw questioned by someone else it was 00 or so which stock is only about a half second faster on the 1/4 mile times so if you look at the facts its not that hard to believe, and had we been at a light and went from dead stop im sure he would have beaten me but we didnt so there ya have it... GXP win WS-6 lost
well when you look at it like this... throw a cam with a huge lift but dont change anything else on the engine itself like increasing compression or larger fuel injectors to match the increased lift on the valves you end up with the same amount of fuel going in and more air meaning you run lean and lose power at WOT, this was explained to me by my uncle who is an engineer and has designed performance engines for about 20 years now
look what i found.....
