got beat by a DSM!

I was driving my friends 97 z28 the other day when one of my other friends pulls up in his mirage. I knew the little thing was quick the last time we were at the strip he ran a 13.3 in the 1/4. Well I give him the go ahead to run ( I was in a v-8, so what was the worst that can happen ) so we took off, that little thing just left me behind so quick I was in shock. I asked him what he did to it. He just up graded the turbo. Later on that nite we went to the drag strip where he ripped of a 11.8 in the 1/4!

Hes done more than just upgraded the turbo if hes running 11s. They can be fast. If in tune that is.

I outran a coworkers dsm but I think his is messed up bad.

Nic, were you really going to do a turbo setup on the Mustang? I guess maybe it's an inside joke or something?

I had a 62mm turbo that was going to go on it, but then I traded to a friend for something else for my car...rx7 knows all about it.

It refers to the Eclipse, Talon, Laser, and I guess the Mirage also!
