A buddy I work with has a 5th gen lude, all stock..... For awhile now hes been asking me lets race on our way home, he actually lives in the same community as me too, kinda weird....
So we head off home, and we end up at these set a lights together lined up.... hah of course, we roll down the windows...
He says "So wanna do this finally?"
"Sure might as well"
So its set, we wait for the light.... I drop from about 4500, perfect launch no wheel hop, quite impressed with that...
Going through first gear neck and neck.... 2nd my nose edges out...
3rd a car length...
Shift into 4th and shut it down, cause i was a car and a half ahead, and no point in taking up beyond that.....
Needless to say, I only have a short ram intake, full 2.25 exhaust, mild mild port and polish, and .25 over stock pistons.... (from my rebuild)
Still impressed with my car, as I was not sure on the actual performance, considering our rebuild was slightly sketchy, but im going 10 000km on it now and its still running strong.... Takes tons of oil but runs good.
Did a leak down test and compression test last week and everything is top notch.
His car has about 17 000km on it. Its an SH btw
