    God really? A T-66 4g63 Mirage with nitrous, cams and drag radials will beat a gutted factory K with street tires and a 75 shot. Dude you are so fly for being able to set this up again, you need to open a casino, you'd be taking everyone's money with your swag and exceptional wagering knowledge

Anyone who has rode in my car knows I have ZERO traction in third, WITHOUT nitrous. I am not going to race a car from a 60mph roll in third gear, that dead hooks from a 40mph roll. I had no choice but to run in 4th. When I get better tires, I will be more than happy to race again, and I will be in third gear and I will spray. There are many factors involved in this race, not just a 415whp car racing a 300whp car. You notice the first race I beat the civic, this race was from a 70mph roll. The other two runs were from 60mph. I was alot closer to hitting full boost in 4th from the 70 roll, and I had a stronger run, as seen in the video. From 60mph in 4th, I am at a huge handicap. I don't get full boost until 4800rpm without the nitrous. At 60mph and in 4th, I am at 3600rpm. I have to go 1200rpm before I even hit FULL boost, then I start pulling. That civic is at 6500rpm in third gear from a 60mph. A prime spot for his car to get a strong pull from the start of the race, and while spraying a 75 shot. The advantage he had was very evident in the race. I wanted to be fair and not spray on him, but from 60mph without the spray, I was outperformed, due to turbo lag. Also, the civic was a gear lower from the start, and I had a person with me... he didn't. We can run again when I get better tires and when I spray, I promise you the outcome will be much different. I admit I lost the last two races, we didn't get to a high enough speed for me to pull pass. If we would of, I would of passed him. And many cars race from a 70mph roll. It's all about what type of powerband certain cars have. I have ran many cars who agreed to race from 70mph - 150+mph, even 500whp hatchback civics. These races against the K20 civic, I was at 415whp, due to not spraying. Also, my car is sketchy at high speeds. Any car that weighs 2200lbs and has close to 500whp is going to be a little sketchy at that high speed. I am just glad you didn't shit all over my seat during the pull. The guy in the civic was cool, and his car is very well built. I enjoyed the races, and I appreciate him running me.
    Awesome!

    To clear a little up, the civic was running drag radials and I was on street tires.

    Congrat to the owner of the Civic. Turbomirage did not know what he was up against. He thought the Civic was an easy kill so he did not turn on his nitrous. That is why is got owned 3 times. I told him many times not to mess around with a EG civic or a fox body Mustang. I told him that 4th gear crap is going to get him chopped up one day.

    A lot of guys on here wishes Turbomirage has suspension or stickier tires but the game is already over. He got butt raped 3 times in the video. No matter what you guys say, the anal probing already happened. No body told him to show up to a race with bull crap all season radials and do a 4th gear pull at a low speed with a laggy ass turbo.

    Turbomirage! You have shamed the CSM community. Please don't race if you are not ready to win.
    ultimate sleeper.
