So my car been off road for 2 months wit beat radials fouled plugs :( well tonight I get a text from kid from high school wit newer gt aluminum heads slicks drag suspension. Wanting to run but unfortunately I am set up for spray but bottle was empty.I took sa gamble n ran em heads up. I spun bad n got em off line unfortunately lost by car n a half. But I had a ton of fun maybe next time :punchballs:
on the street? :nono:
So I think (after translating) that you raced a school kid with a built car in your Tbird with bad tires and a rough running engine?
Please say you did this on a track...:flame:
atco and e-town are both closed for the winter.. the nearest track is at least 2 hours away from where he is and they're probably closed.. so it's safe to say, it was definitely on the street :nono:
Sorry guys I was posting from my phone. The kid I ran I used to go to high school with. N yes it was on the street n very sketchy. But we are Goin to do it again at the track come spring time
can i race the winner?! lol
Sure but take ur turbo off lmao
i'll run you with my little 4 cyl TC, i'll leave the 413w TC and capri at home lol
sounds good
which track, etown or atco? etown is almost a 4 hour haul for me, atco is only 45-50 minutes away.. i'll even be fair and leave my hoosiers at home lol
doesnt matter shadow which ever one you go to this spring/summer pm me in advance ill try n meet up there bout same distance for me, 30 min from my house. or you can come n play on the streets lol jk even tho they hook better than the track:crazy:
i only play with imports on the street.. and by play i mean rev at them when they rev at me, launch hard, then start driving like a granny lol i prefer atco, their new concrete launch pad hooks a lot better.. atco would be better, for obvious distance reasons.. i should be ready by the time atco opens
So now saftey doesn't matter around imports. Pretty funny. There's guys around here that are running 9's consistantly in civics. Good thing you don't have any of those around you.
A 9 second Civic could spank the Sport, BUT, I don't care. The Sport would STILL be way cooler.
really? i let off before it even gets 1/4 of the way through 1st, max of 15mph.. how is that unsafe? once i launch, i back off immediately and their POS little ricebox fly past me like they're accomplishing something.. i've gotten 3 of them caught by cops so far.. it's a beautiful sight to see the red and blue flashing on the black and white, as i drive by, casually doing the speed limit ;) .. they're the morons they keep going, flying on ahead like i'm still pounding the pedal to the floorboard
there are 9 second shiznitbox civics around here, too.. they're called trailer queens, in no way street legal and in no way capable of being street legal.. unless they want to kiss their 9 second rubber band passes goodbye.. i fear no car that's powered by the front wheels, no matter who's driving, especially when i'm in the capri.. last year the capri went 9.92 with a carb and 57mm garrett.. she's now running a 64mm, F.A.S.T. system and more boost, i think i have ALL of the little puppiestraps covered around here, ESPECIALLY off the line
A nine second Tbird is a HELL of a lot cheaper to build than a 9 second Civic..lol
Not much unsafe about revving an engine next to a civic...it's the idiotic blasting from a stop, driving over the speed limit in an environment where there are others, and then lastly, doing any of this in a vehicle that's only one step removed from being junkyard fodder.
Like my car, for example...
Wouldn't be much of a race against it anyway...it's main form of propulsion right now is my riding lawn mower.
agreed.. i have this argument with my buddy who loves his puppiestraps.. he wants to 1 day build a civic 'bubble' to break into the 9's.. he talked to 1 guy who has basically the same car that runs 9.50's and he's running 30psi and spray to accomplish it.. when my buddy heard the money he spent to accomplish such a feat, he realized it's more realistic to get his S10 to run 9's.. the guy has over 20k into the car and absolutely HAS to get it dynotuned before he heads to the track, because the ecu can't compensate for the weather changes, because of all the mods, boost, spray and the fact that it's a POS honda
I know a guy running 9's with a 1.5 liter civic motor running n\a. He can pop wheelies in reverse. Were also above 4500 ft elevation, and not only is it street legal, he passes emissions. He was telling me he gets 50mpg out of it. Kinda a weird guy though. He has 5 inch exhaust that he cut into the floor to fit, and lowered the drivers seat so he fit better in it. Never ridden in his car, but I watched him kill a turbo cobra that runs low 11's out here. He makes fun of civic kids that will just throw a turbo on anything.
What you drive has very little to do with what you know.
Driving my crownvic wagon, I can do 85mph in the slow lane, and someone still HAS to pass me no matter what. Doesn't mean I need to brag about not driving a civic either.
