Kill is kind of an understatement, more like destroyed. Lol. I have a buddy with an 01 GTP two door, and his car has light mods. He has a homemade cai, plugs, t-stat, ZZP 2.5 DP, flowmaster 40's, and a 3.4" pulley. My car is a 98 GTP 4 door and is decently modded. It has a JMB FWI, plugs, t-stat, throttle body spacer, ZZP 1.0 PCM, ZZP 2.5 DP, SLP cat-back exhaust and a 3.4" pulley. So it was about 9:30 or so at night and i texted him and said wanna race? and he calls me and asks where i'm at, so we hooked up at a fireworks stand in my town and headed out.

In my town of about 2500 people there is a stretch of highway called 3 mile lane, which is basically flat for, well, 3 miles. Most of it runs through the town, but the last stretch heading out of town is about 1.5 miles long and is completely open. So we went to D highway and pulled over till no cars where visible in the 1/4 mi stretch that is visible. And we finally got rollin and did a 35 mph roll, 3 honks, and gunned, well his car didn't downshift lol, so we scratched that run.

Next run we did the same 35 mph, and we both put it in 1st, 3 honks, and gunned, as i approached 2nd i threw it in drive and let the tranny do the rest, all i saw were headlights in the mirror!!! We did that 2 more times, each time i smoked him.

Then finally we decided to go from a dig. So we stopped, 3 honks, gunned it and still he was at my rear quarter half way through 1st, and once i hit 2nd i was atleast 3-4 lengths ahead. Well, i know it's a long story, but i was pretty pumped that he had no chance, and it was a heck of a lot of fun, now i plan on racing my other friend's VW R32.

Oh and after we got done playing around he texts me and goes "Ya, your car is pretty fast..."

nice lol

Wow 3-4 car lengths? If I'm right it looks like the only difference in ur guys cars is u have a pcm tuned. I'm surprised u pulled him so hard. Must have been a sh!tty driver. If u don't know how to launch these cars ull get eatin up. All the lower end torque makes us burn tires off the line

Just wondering wtf is up with the 2.5" downpipes...weaksauce. And that probably means he is knocking like a mother fugga if you put car lengths on him with a ZZP PCM...I'd rather have a stock one.

What's up with 2.5 inch dp's? it's cheaper and it's just a temporary to get past the u-bend until i get headers. The reason i did pull so much on him was clearly due to his knock, he has an open cone intake off a POS "pipe" off the tb, and also the ZZP tune, yes isn't great by any means, but it IS better than stock. With my 98 and zzp pcm i can choose between stock and ZZP tune with the performance shift, and it is a noticable difference. You can't call weaksauce to a person explaining an effing story, again a 2.5 dp is my cheapest solution right now to no headers. When i get my headers, probably SLP's or Pacesetters, i'll have a 3" DP to mate with the rest of my SLP 3" exhaust.

The 2.5 is fine if ur just waiting on headers, I've never had personal experience with the ZZP PCM but I've seen many stories on here of them blowing engines.

Just saying, why skimp? Especially when boosted the easier power is made with better exhaust flow...
