    figured i'll post a few random races i had in the past few weeks.
    2010 porsche panamera
    out doing errands on the freeway and from a far up i noticed a blue car turning onto the freeway rather aggressively. so i caught up to the car and as i was approaching it looked like a chrysler crossfire. i was hoping it would be the srt-6 model but then as i was a car length behind it was instead a porsche panamera s(not to be mistaken with the s turbo). when traffic was clear up ahead i was waiting if he was going to gun it as i had my headlights turned off but fog lights on .

    he bit and i noticed puff of smoke and drips of water emerge and he was off. we kinda started at ~70mph and oddly enough i was only applying like 80% throttle as i was walking by him. he had a surprised smirk while i had a huge smile back at him . past him at ~115mph and by ~125mph i was a car length to 1.5 and let off as we were approaching traffic. it still had dealer tags and papers on the windshield.

    cobalt ss/sc
    was cruising around and saw a woman in a black cobalt ss/sc in the right lane and as i went past her i quickly increased the throttle just enough to make 1psi of boost and let off for her to hear my BOV . traffic was clear behind and plenty of room ahead of us if she bit, which she did. she was coming up to me at ~75mph just at my rear door and i applied throttle just enough to unlock the TC and i imagine the exhaust tone changing she heard it and got on it. she went as far as just barely near my front driver side door and it went all downhill for her afterwards. by ~115mph i prolly had 3+ bus lengths on her . slowed down and waited for her. as she was coming up i rolled the window down and gave her a thumbs up and she returned with a friendly wave. didnt really get a good glimpse of the driver since it was dark but i rarely get run-in races as much.

    97-01 audi s4
    was cruising on the freeway and saw the s4 with HIDs. exhaust looked stock from the exterior so i imagine it was just stock. as i went past him doing the speed limit i goosed it a bit to emit my BOV. he bit, and paced me at ~75mph. we gradually gotten on the throttle, not hammering it though, i think he wasnt sure if i was planning on stomping it down but he decided to do it first then i did. i instantly pulled and continued to pull and by 115mph i prolly had a few bus lengths on him.


    well thats it for the time being

    sorta, i increase/decrease the boost a while ago. i now marked my MBC so i kinda know where and how much its turned. but a few months ago before i marked my MBC, i ran a 12.4 at 117mph with a 2.25 sixty on stock stall. since then i lowered the boost so i imagine it'll trap like 110-113 MAYBE lol. when i trapped the 117mph, i was over 14.7psi which i maxed my 2 bar map sensor. now im only boosting just shy of 14psi.

    well like i mentioned, i already had ;-)....but im not planning onto again until i beef my 3EP trans even more especially the 3rd gear clutch packs. anything over like 16psi and my 2nd to 3rd gear bounces off the rev limiter :-( because the trans cant shift as quick as the motor.

    Turbo really does translate into dollar signs.

    i looked into a 3bar map and no one has been able to set the pcm to read a 3bar.

    Really? You'd think there'd be just an easy setting to change in the PCM...oh wellz.
