Default My first race w/ my new Turbo IS300 is scheduled....

I have been arranging a race w/ this guy who has an Impalla SS (sp) with a 125 shot of N20 and a supercharger. he said he was getting around 400 to the wheels, I don't know if that is w/ the N2O though.

What do u guys think will this be a good race or have I got my self in some trouble.

Down here in Cali, I've seen 2 Impalla's run High 12's in the quarter with just superchargers and a few bolt on's...Once those car get movin, they are hella fast. However, if you get a good launch, you might be able to pull it out. Should be exciting. Would like to see video...

Thanks for the prayers, I think i might need it...

I will be there for sure on Fir. after seeing your brakes, I came to the conclusion that I need something to stop all that HP, so I should be getting in my slotted rotters and pads tomorrow. And I will have to go that way anyways. so between 1 and 2 i will see u there.
