on my way home i see this black ss in my rearview so i kinda got on it to see if he would follow and sure enough he did. so we come to a light and he ends up a car behind me on my right side. so i look back and i hear him rev his exhuast up so i knew he would play for sure now. well we get a open spot and we are goin about 35 and we go i jump to a car lead but shut down due to upcomming traffic. well he is like dude that is quick and im like follow me i gotta get gas then we will run again. well we get gas and i ask whats done. he was like exhuast cams header and intake so i was a lil shocked but procedded to run again. from a 25 roll i started in 2nd and pulled to a fender lead and stayed that way thru mid 3rd to about 80 or so. i was very happy gave him thumbs up and went on my way.

I believe it! I ran an older vette at 18psi on a t-25 with similar mods, he had exhaust and thats about it I would think... He had his track numbers on the car and said he ran a 13.3. Keep in mind this is a 40-110 roll, but it was the closest race I've ever had! Neither of us could pull through second or third. Wish I had my evo3 and front mount :D

Sounds like you got the best of the driver. I don't think he was modded like he said unless the big cam install was something along the lines of a Z06 cam or so. Its been a long while since I had a DSM, and the turbos have changed quite a bit, so can you tell me what kind of power you are putting down?

Semper Fi,

i call bullshit dude.....you will beat a stock ss....but not a modded one.....

with a cam, full exhaust, lid and tune....the SS is an 11 second car....

it would be more believable if you had AWD and more mods
Actually if he isn't awd he has a bigger chance from a roll, so that doesn't make sense to me why you would say that. Also, that doesn't make the SS an 11 second car, because you have too many vague variables and using illogical thoughts by saying all SS's will run 11's with such and such done. Do all DSM's run the same with the same mods? I didn't think so, also the EvoIII is a hell of a turbo, I bet this could happen, I'm not saying either way especially since I drive many different cars, but you guys generalize too much with mods saying all cars run 11's with these mods.
