Ive been wanting to do some track racing but the closest place around here is willow springs raceway and its way to much money to go run on it. Kinda sucks but anyways, Ive ran against straight six's and only lost to a 3000gt TT. I think thats pretty good for a car everyone says is slow in a straight line...

I live within 30min of a track, I’ve only taken my 8 once the best I ran was a 14.8 the slowest run was a 15.2 with a passenger.

My second run I beat a fox body mustang he ran a 14.9, I easily got the hole shot but the mustang started to run me down, I watched him run a few times that night he did get the car into the mid 14’s. There also was a late 80’s iroc there and i was beating him all night the best he ran was a 15.3.

Those are the only v8 cars I’ve beaten, a 14.8 isn’t that fast for a 8
