Title: Got Ninja'd
Post by: 5ohSHO on March 22, 2018, 10:51:30 PM
I got ninja'd by a Porsche Macan GTS at a red light today. I pulled up next to him and he started to ping the rev limiter and just as I was about to build some boost the light turned and he got the jump on me. For some reason my car always hits redline and nose dives in first when I don't build boost on a launch or I'm rolling and floor it, but I was catching him until that happened. I caught him at the next light and it turned green when we were both rolling up to it at about 30. I pulled away from him, but couldn't tell how hard he was trying either. I want a real rematch haha.

Went against one of those and if you are tuned you will take it no problem. I think they run mid 13s stock. The guy I ran definitely didn't see it coming and had that how is a Taurus beating me look on his face when I pulled him.

Yeah, I looked up the specs on them and they're really close to a stock SHO in terms of power and weight. I had my meth turned on and was catching up quick until my car bombed the 1-2 shift. Hopefully he'll be at the track this year.

Might wanna find out why your car is crapping the bed on the first to second shift? Is it hitting fuel cut off at the rev limiter?

I think it is. It's been that way since I tuned it, but I'm rarely in a situation where it happens so I haven't put much thought into it.
