Who's trying to race you?

I was really wondering about this... lol. I stopped caring about radar detectors decades ago when lasers/lidar came out. They're a narrow beam and generally undetectable until you've been gunned, and of course it's too late by then.

Jammers are the answer to Lidar. It's funny as hell when the cop keeps getting ERR on his display and can't work it out.
Then the buggers made them illegal here.

this guy... I knew it was going to be trouble as I rolled past him in the fast lane. he had you know the whole back window vinyl advertising his Diesel performance traction bars. to be fair, he had an empty trailer. but, I had four heavy gauge 20 by 30 tarps, a bearing separator puller kit, and three cases of liquid pool chlorine in the trunk. we were doing somewhere around the speed limit. as I came up beside him I knew he was watching the rear view. I heard his turbos spooling up, so I dropped to third when I heard him go. there was blood, guts, smoke all over the place. I got to my home exit for groceries so he pulled up again when I was in the easy Lane, had his whole family in the truck. sorry Dad.

I'm trying to get anyone to race me. Finally got the stage 2 Whipple installed now along with the other mods I've had done and new drag radials. The car made 736 on the dyno on pump gas and it feels faster since learning and using octane booster. The only joy I get is when someone tailgates me and I leave them so quick, when I look back and hit the brakes I see a distant image that I can barely make out to be a front end.

If you don't mind , Could you give me a "BALLPARK $$$" on what the stage 2 Whip cost ?? If you would rather keep it private I certainly understand . junqdawg

WOW!! That might be a "NEW DRAG RACE CATEGORY" Racing while pulling trailers !! They race everything else on Earth { Lawnmowers , Snowmobiles , tractors, 18 Wheelers , Even Wienie Dogs !!! I kinda got the opinion your opponent was a bit dumb , racing with HIS KIDS in the vehicle !! NOT COOL ! just my opinion .....junqdawg

My kit cost me $9,999 from Whipple, which was over 11k with tax by the time I was done. I didn't want to install a kit like this for the first time myself on a brand new car, so I payed for that, too. That cost me another 3k.

3k for 10 hours of labor? Man I need to become a whipple installer. $300/ hr.

There's always a downside to a Whipple. But I don't want to rain on someone's parade.
