I'd love to rip you out of your car for pulling **** like that, but I would just stop racing you. Your third beep isn't timed with your first and second beep. Good wins otherwise. On your mark, go. WTF?

Well next time we'll start in front of the car were racing instead of behind to make the gap bigger. When you have the power he has you'll see beeping ain't easy.

What's your point?
You don't floor it until after the third beep anyways, beep...beep...beep go not beep...beep.be'go'ep.
You want to see a fair race? Go to a drag stip that uses lights. If someone jumps it then they lose. Now granted you can't roll. I have respect for you turboing your car, not for jumping the gun when you race.

thumpin he does go to the track just not yet on the new turbo set-up. he doesn't own any slicks that is the major reason he hasn't gone.

ah, yea that would be a problem especially if Mysta is spinning all the way down the track with slicks. I can't imagine on street tires.

mysta is also making 60 more wheel hp at 17psi then he is at 20. so figure that math out also. mysta is running more then 17psi at the track but its running rich and they are fine tuning it still. but its only going to make more power. mystas turbo is larger but they are both running 9:1 compression. mysta also has a welded diff. where he doesn't.

What can I say? Nobody else beeps cause they have no horns. My horn is messed up so sometimes it does not beep right away. Makes it kinda hard to make perfect beeps, but isnt this street racing, where do rules apply here?

Then why do it in the first place, if there aren't any rules then no one wins and no one loses. There isn't a street racing section on our forum, this is under drag racing. Drag racing, which have rules.
Anyone can street race and anyone in a Mustang GT can do a burnout. I guess these videos don't impress me.

The only person with a problem with the beeps is you. Learn the rule 1,2,then push on clutch-foot to floor on gas,3 and hold on. If your doing it different your losing. When you can run 12sec cars lets see how you drive. If anything use the video as a tool on how to drive. Hell we need a white GT, why don't you sell it to us so we can put the car to good use.

It wasn't a rotory. It was a v8 on boost.

If I was to run 12's I would buy a car that already runs 12's or low 13's in RWD and V8. Even if it cost me a couple extra grand more. I am putting my car to good use. It gets me places, burns fuel, and gets me to my job.
Don't go knocking my car or what I do with it. I was not saying what you do with your car is wrong all I was saying was accelerate after the third beep. What you've done to your car is awesome.
But now if it bothers you so much that you are going to lose because you can't accelerate after the 3rd beep then you don't have a fast enough car, which I am sure you are working on.
then push on clutch-foot to floor on gas - What?

Sometimes cars are of equal power which means who ever has the better launch wins. When roll racing you want the RPMs as high as you can get to be at the strongest spool point. I'm not to big on brake boosting which is another way. Once again none of the cars we raced EVER said we jumped. The owner of the car almost fell out of the chair when he saw your first post. I grow tired of posting up on the sight to hear negative crap about our videos. We hoped it would inspire others to do what we've done.
