Kill of the Day: Ecoboost vs. the World

[markssho]

Going to work this morning, (in Mexico)... Look up and and see a new Lexus RCF on my bumper. Light turns green, headed down a four lane, no traffic.
He slowly came around me and I dropped in behind him on his bumper until we had to slow.
We wasn't very happy that he couldn't walk off and leave me in his $65k Lexus. Best part, I didn't have any tune loaded.

People are feisty today! Just went out to get dog food which is 10 minutes up the street...

On the way back, hit a red light, apparently (I didn't know) that the 3.7 Infinity next to me thought it was go time... he kept staring me down at the light...

He punches it off the line.. I was like helllll no, punched it... passed him... he seemed very preoccupied with driving in a straight line when I slowed down to look over at him...

NEXT...

Couple lights later a black SS Camaro(newer gen)flys up next to me at a red light... he makes no bones about it... give the gas a little touch to see if I am interested.. he must have seen me roll the infinity from behind somewhere...

So he had at least an exhaust system cause it sounds like crap... I look over and nod... he start power breaking when the other light turns yellow... I do the same... light turns green, I launch at around 2K and smoked him by a couple car lengths up to around 65 or so...

I slow down and look over.. he just gives me the thumbs up and shakes his head...

Must be the warmer weather...cause I normally drive like an old man...

While waiting at a light today a newer G37 pulls up next to me. The driver was trying to get a good look at the SHO, hiding behind his door pillar. We both met at the next light. I could tell he wanted to go by the way he lined up next to me. Didn’t brake boost at all. Just mashed the pedal to the floor. He did the same. It wasn’t even close. I left him like he was standing still. Can’t wait to get rid of these SHO badges. Gonna be ultimate sleeper kill story time.

Yesterday brand new STI from a roll and a dig. No match at all. He knew what he was getting into and gave thumbs up he said the SHO is a beast to fear.

Tonight BMW not sure which one as it was debadge and blacked out at night hard to tell it apart but you could hear it was boosted. No match again from a roll or a dig. He did roll he window to say his CEL sometimes turns on so if the Gap is very big it's because of the CEL. Just making excuses for when he would get his ass kicked.

Took out a new 350z that had at a minimum exhaust.  At the light he looked over and kind of laughed..... Light turned green and bang put 2 on him and he was stuck there!!! Lol Then I let off and he flew by lmao.....

Leaving work today, an STS-V flew past me while I was cruising along in the slow lane.  He changed lanes to be directly in front of me at the next traffic light, and left the light aggressively when it changed, just to catch the next one turning red.  I took the fast lane, pulled up beside him, shot him a "Let's Dance" expression, and waited for the green.  Light changes, he rolls into the throttle pretty hard, I let her eat, and he sees nothing but my peeling taillight chrome up til the next light.  He didn't even crack a smile at the next red light.  ;D

AJP has got my tune to perfection.

That is not bad considering it is a tad lighter than us and makes 470hp/440lb-ft.  Gotta love that AWD launch!

Nope, I was quite happy with it!  Granted at a track he would have probably reeled me in up top.  Down low though, our little snails make so much beautiful torque.  :icon_horns2:

A mature AJP 93 tune is in the neighborhood of 400hp/500lb-ft at the wheels if quality gas is available.

Hmmm.  Mature.  AJP.  Hmmm.

I sold and STSV (actually traded in) to get my SHO.  Super comfortable and sexy cars, but they cannot hang with a tuned Sho, maybe from a roll, but they just cannot put the power they have down that well.  Plus then AJP. game, set, match..

Not a big deal. My Flex is still stock until I figure out the warranty risk. Came across this jackass in a new Arcadia Denali who pulled out in front of me close enough that I chose to change lanes instead of braking. There was a popular left turn 1/2 mile ahead and he thought he was gonna block anyone from getting in front of him. I plan on going straight, but I know he was trying to stay in front, because he was flooring it if he saw me gain just a little. Now my new government job requires me to not draw attention to myself, so no more reckless speeding or it's my job. I love my job. But I can race to the speed limit all I want haha. We stop at the last light before his turn comes up, I plan to go straight. He thinks I want in the left lane to get on the interstate. He's watching me, brake boosting. I just stare ahead... green, no contest I was already 7 car lengths ahead before we hit 50, 5 over the limit. I let off the gas and cruise. He's still flooring it to catch me  just to have to slam on the brakes to make his left turn from the incorrect lane. Now I know that SUV is only 300HP. Those new Arcadia Denali's look sharp and expensive and he was being a cocky a-hole. So I felt good that a still stock 14 Flex hurt his ego hehe.

There's nothing like knowing the 1% rain forecast on parade day will come true.

Quinid, there isn't much of a warranty risk running tune only. Keep 2 bar and tuner in car. If anything happens put on the two bar and reflash to stock. If they ask about a p1000 code tell them you pulled the batt cable to see if it cleared the condition.

I did that with the 2010 SHO and they never caught on. But isn't the 13+ ecu's different or easier to track past tunes?

I got to do some highway pulls against a 6.4L 300C SRT8 in the 2.7TT Fusion last night. We were not able to get side by side unfortunately, he was in front and got the hit, though it had an aftermarket exhaust that let me know when to go. We did this about 4 times and each time he held the gap for about 2 seconds and then I ran up on his butt like he was standing still. I'm happy with that, the 6.4 in the 300 is a 12.7-12.6 car and I would have expected it to pull up top and instead I was the one reeling in up top. Now I just need to get lined up with one of these 6.4's and try one from a dig.
