Default My 1/8 mile drag video

I was up against Nissan 350z manual with unknown mods. His car is louder then stock. Maybe intake and exhaust. I'll post up the time slip once I can get it scan. My scanner is busted. Here is the video on YouTube enjoy.

I don't think it's a stock 400 based from his sig.

1/8th of a mile is really short. I my second turbo just kick in and I'm out of track space . But I think I was almost a car length a head of him when I crosses the finishing line. I'm almost .7 sec ahead on the time slip.
