Ok so I am down here in South Fl. for the weekend and possibly next week. My town is not known for any fast imports. Except for a handful, they are 16 sec ricers. Well I pull up to the red light and there is this 240. I look over and he asks what I run. I told him my last known number and that I had added another 30hp since then. He said that he runs 13.2's all day. Well the light turns green and he doesnt burnout or anything so I figured that he was just asking about my car. He revs and then floors it. Since I had just switched to second I was only going 10-15mph. (35mph is right at the bottom end of my powerband) About 3/4 of the way through 2nd I catch up to him, we both hit third and I am right next to him when his blowoff valve goes off. When I switched to fourth I was 1-2 cars ahead. :beer: He said that there was a carshow tomm night with a group of cars that run 11-13sec 1/4's, so I think I will go check that out tomm. He also said that there is a 03' mustang with a navi motor that shows up.:heather20
So what is a good est of a 1/4 mile is 1-2 cars ahead of a 13.2?

Where in So Fla and which meet?? I know of one here that they used to have on Fridays, but I think it went the way of the Great Wall meet. There are some ridiculously fast cars here.

One of the ricer meets in Cocoa beach. I use to go to it and thought they didnt go anymore, I guess they still do. It's just like TI meets in tally except a lot bigger, with 4 times as many biker guys with extended swingarm busa's. Most of those guys come from Orlando though.

12.0's at least.
Good rule of thumb. If more people speak spanish than english around you, then you are in south florida. :t:
