Drag racing a 3/S is the fatest way to break it. So foregoing the drags isn't always an issue of fear, unless of course you mean fear of a repair bill.Quote:

Kevin you should come to NG13, I'm sure you could find some whipper-snapper to go toe to toe with you in all the events. And I think there will be a good NA car to compete with Don if the guy signs up to race. I can't speak for his racing experience but I would be interested to see how his car compares on power.
Levi, I thank God that you continually show up to tell me how little I know about, well...everything.Quote:

I do suck at drag racing. But we do it just to take the trophies home, Someone has to run that class. Of course we took first place. WE were the only NA that ran. WTF. No fun in that.
Anyways we will be ready this year to hit each and every event. I hope my son Ryan will be there to drive the auto cross event as I just can't seem to find my way around the cones. LOL.
AS far as road course, no issues there for me. Ryan and I drive the same there. The importent thing though is our car. It has taken me a while to realize that there is not much action going on in the NA world.
Nothing to compete with, and for sure No respect. LOL. So we now set our sights on TT cars. Hell, no fun beating mustangs. LOL. So we are going after ANY AWD TT (Our plateform) car supporting less than 16 lbs boost. (10 lbs boost FWD)
WE are Still at 10 to 1 slugs, so that's about our limit. Maybe eating a couple of TT cars will get some respect. LOL
Our TX gathering last week ended up with only 1/8 mile drags and NO Dyno. Shit happens. We will Dyno Dec 8TH and post results. 1/4 mile tracks are closed for the season. Had to drive the car to Austin and back for the TXG, so did not race hard.
God I hate braking a trans every time we drag. Anyways, did a nice easy run, a little wheel hop, had to get out of it twice. But ended up running a 9.549@ 75.76 mph. I had just put a few new item on the car and only finished the car a few hours earlier. So this is with no tune as well. Hows that for pre 2013 NG hype. :)

Cue facepalm. You made a generality and I offered up some perspective, don't cry about it. Not everything posted, even if you are quoted, is expressly meant for just your information only.Quote:

Don I wasn't referring to your car or you racing, I know you will race. Been there, seen that. There is a local STL guy with an 3.5L mtx car that I would like to see run. I'm failry certain he will attend the NG, I just don't know if he will do any racing. I would be interested to see how his setup compares.Quote:

Don, I have respect for the builds you create, but I see you post constantly about beating stock TTs and I just can't let it keep getting said without some comparing data.Quote:

I am sure your car is fast for a non turbo, but I think you tend to underestimate what a TT running correctly, even on low boost, can do.
Are you a director now - curious way to post.Quote:

As to the other, yes - I heartily agree to the competitive benefits of friendly competition.
Also please note my reticence to abuse my car for the first time while 800 miles from home.

Show me examples of where I post to tell you that you don't know anything about everything. The only condition is that you can't pull from the political section. I bet you can't find 3 instances of said behavior. If you do I will gladly start a thread just to appologize for doing so. However I am quite confident that of the two of us, I am not the one with empathy or perspective problems.
Interesting that you are more than happy to call someone else out about doing something you yourself are too fearful to do, but hey it is the internets and the internets is big business.
If it means anything my roomate can detest that his lightly modded VR4 on 7 PSI vs MY SL is only about a car length Faster then me...... Now that VR4 on 13 psi commits several counts of rape against cars that r suppose to be faster then a vr4.
However, all a Turbo car has to do is make a DIY MBC for 5$ and it makes all the difference.
But again how ever, a bone stock used VR4 is in the 230-250whp range is it not... And has a significant amount of weight extra....
But again again again... i would RATHER have a Turbo car.
the track doesn't lieQuote:

Wtf has happened in here. This is a picture thread not a argue back and forth thread. Make one about this shit or GTFO.
hey thanks boomer, I'll let Don to continue to post about how he rapes stock vr4s everywhere if that makes you happy.
Sorry Chris. But when I go to my subscribed thread list and click in here looking to see the latest post of a good looking 3s (like your white stealth) I am highly disappointed. I understand where you are coming from with the Don thing. So make a thread asking for proof. I come in here for cars not people's person BS. Not saying that its all bs just meaning stuff that belongs in its own thread.Quote:

Greenlantern,
Like I tryed to say about the1/8 mile post. I was not trying hard. Only had the car running a few hours.
That and had to drive it dack to Dallas. The only reason I ran at all, because I was asked to so there would not be a plaque they
would have to through in the trash. So I ran to take the plaque, not to see what the car was capable of.
WE will Dyno Dec 8th, than as soon as tracks open again in Feb, we will run the 1\4 and see just how we fair.
And hell, Ram air system doesn't produce anything under 85 MPH. Not even going to beat my car for a silly ass 1/8 mile. LOL.
When road course NG 2011 was taking place, I was pssing and did pass Ray P on the straite. He was not driving his car of course. He was driving for someone else.
But he can up to me later and asked for me to pop the hood. I said sure and did so. Think he was looking for NOs or something I guess.
He said "I knew your car was fast, but can't be this fast". That was when he told me it was he I passed when on the straite and he was 15 lbs boost and looking for a scamble buttom in attempts to stop the pass.
He said when I passed him he was at 15 lbs boost, and could do nothing to stop me. The funny thing is, my car would not rev above 5800 that year.
So when does it matter or count. When I beat a TT car with 6 lbs boost? 10lbs Boost, 15 lbs boost, or 18 lbs boost. That and front wheel drive cars will never launch like all wheel drive. Never tried to imply you could not out dig me. That is a given.
That is also why this is NOT a drag car. It is a road race car. Hell, I don't even like drag racing. If I did. the car would be rear drive, and motor turned 90 degrees. but then it would not be a real FWD NA. So again wouldn't count.
Next time we road course at the same track, I will go out on the track behind you and you try to get away. If I can't get by you, I'll by lunch. But if I get by and you can't keep up, You by.
Back on topic, detailed for a meet tomorrow...
