    Took the Typhoon to the track

    Now that it's running right and I actually know how to drive it...... :roll: Ran a 13.6 @ ~ 99 mph and then backed that up with a 13.5 @ ~ 99 mph. Both with 1.84 60 foots on stock tires and 93 octane. Launched at 8 lbs boost. Last time I was at the track I didn't know how to launch and the...

    Spanked by 2000 LS1 Camaro

    Typhoon vs BMW X5 4.6

    Went through an intersection yesterday and saw a beautiful blue X5 sitting at the stoplight to my left. It looked like the guy was looking at my truck like he knew what a Ty was. I slowed down hoping his light would change and I could catch him at the next stoplight. He finally pulled up to my...
