Install a purge kit with a CO2 tank attached.

Aim the purges out of your passenger front bumper to where his air intake is.

Line up to race him and make sure he takes the right lane

Hold the purge starting after the first honk and load his intake with CO2
robbing his engine of air.

Take off on the third honk.

Everytime he starts getting close, purge into his intake and stall him out again.

Win for you!

not even close. good drivers would be at least a second apart. you'll need either nitrous, or a turbo or super to beat him.

I hate people that constantly feel the need to tell anyone with a slower car that they'll win in a drag race. Plenty of cars out there that will shame an ss/sc.....

Do what you want to you're car, mod it to you're liking, and if you shut him up, good on you. A stock ss/sc is not a rocket...

dont mod your car to beat things, mod your car because its what you like doing, you have nothing to proove to anyone

and if you so happen to beat them, thats great

heres another sneaky way to beat him. next time he changes his oil offer to help. say hey i got the filter while removing the filter cap assembly junk you will see a plug right above the cap unplug that and dont plug it back in. he will get the engine power reduced and his car will run like poo. i accidently did this when i did my last one i thought id some how fucked **** up.

less without a purge kit, remote bottle opener and heater, about 650 for a nice safe kit.
