The car making a turn or pedestrian crossing that gets hit because they didn't notice the car(s) approaching them at 100+mph might make a fuss, if they live.

You know what they say: those in glass houses .....


The way you speak are you claiming that you have never sped or raced? Of course you will say that "I have but Im always in control and in a closed environment" Well I call BS ... This is a kill story forum and let it be that- stop judging everyone on the situation that you were not privy too and only see one angle via video. Are you THAT guy that always makes a comment on every YouTube and StreetFire vid? It seems like with every vid posted there is always someone who loves to pass judgement.

And if you know so much about 65's and how to hold boost (on rolling runs ) lets see what you got.

Ill agree that racing in general is very unsafe and should be kept at the track. But then what good would the Kill Stories forum be?

If they are in the middle of the street, and your lights green (meaning their walking man is red) they should be hit!

Now whether it's by Vic's 65 or a Grandma in a Yugo really isn't the issue.

duece no need to be so harsh man, with your vast experience in running turbo cars how does one build boost if rolling?

Has your intercooler pump been changed? When I purchased my car it was actually delivered with a faulty pump, the dealership had dynoed it this way not knowing it was messed up, i changed the pump to a new stock pump under warranty and re-dynoed the car and made it made +30rwhp and +140rwtq

Same way as when at a stop. Heats up the torque converter but its all in the timing and the amount of throttle applied. Used to do it in my Supra TT.

Sorry buddy, been doing it since 1985 and I've NEVER said or wrote, "take it to the track". But I DON'T do it through an intersection on a stale green (did you see the bicyclist too?) and that is on the video. If it was simply a write-up instead of the vid, that little factoid would have been omitted, I'm sure.

I had one changed at 4k miles.... those damn Bosch pumps do suck dont they. The E55 has the CM90 Johnson and I was able to drive that car for hours on end with no heat soak.

Ill have it looked at again.

Seriously- No way that 65 is running correctly. Looks like the IC pump to me.
ED- nice run.

You mean your post #29? Are you like this all the time and others are just accepting of it? Do you know what a brake torque is? Or a torque converter? "Throttle application"? Wow.

I was diverting to the notion that perhaps the CL is running in tip-top condition and that maybe, just maybe the E is JUST THAT fast.

Why did you buy an SRT8 if you dont condone what vic and ed got into in a foreign country?

Whats so much safer about your racing preferences on the street? Just because you dont do it through an intersection? give me a break anything can happen at anytime, your tire could blow out on the highway racing or you could hit something on the freeway that you couldnt see in your lane until too late and it could cause you to crash into other vehicles. Sounds like your just trying to judge them.
