Just saying hello. I am Cliff-1972s younger brother. I used to run around on the streets and Cooper River/Dorchester dragway with a red 69 Nova which has unfortunately been wrecked for awhile Kind of got into BMWs since then!

Oh, if anyone was running on highway 52 heading towards Moncks Corner in a good sounding black Trailblazer SS this Saturday night around 12-1am, I was in that little silver BMW steadily pulling away from you

Starting 11' they did switch to the N55 single turbo except in the 335is like I have still uses the TT N54 engine albeit with different factory tune/exhaust. No issues with mine so far.

'Twas me, the car sounded good man and I know cliff well. He's done some welding for me in the past and is the man. My truck isn't much from the higher speeds like we were doing, not making excuses just saying. The converter and weight don't help it from 60. Your car is sweet none the less!

That's cool! I wasn't even sure that was your truck that sounded good when I saw that older BMW beside you with the big muffler sticking out back. Then I was like wow, its the truck, lol. 60-150 where my car really shines though I was having some issues that night with timing get retarded. Cliff is a great welder and mechanic and did most of the work and tuning on my Nova along with my dad. Now all I need to tune is a laptop

I remember you, Daryl. I remember at one you had that little black turbo'd car though I can't remember what it was for the life of me. Haven't seen Bobby since Cooper River days or any of those guys like Jeff, Harry, Marcus with all the Mustangs. At one time any Friday or Saturday night you could go down Rivers Ave and see a red Nova chasing down a bunch of mustangs, lol

Old video running against Daryl back at Cooper River. I am sure we were a lot slower back then, lol.

The black car was a Dodge Omni GLH Turbo. Harry and Bobby are still on here occasionally, Marcus got married and disapperared, although he still has the hatchback be bought in Florida sitting covered up in the garage. You can tell the older videos, I had a 306 on a 125hp plate running 7.50's back then..

single turbo motor is just as horrible... actually sucks worse since its already strung out from the factory...

N54's would be great if they were reliable... no way i'd own one after talking to a few owners.
