Oct one is at silver dollar. May rent a room or two the night prior since the nicer hotels are only $40.00.
Topspeed took their evo to the shoot out. Just built the thing last week so it was more of a test and tune since they only got to run two times. They had a clutch problem so they only mustered up 11.7. But they got plenty of power in the motor yet and they will fix the clutch this week.
heres some of the runs run1 run2 :eek3: and i believe those are tires chirping in 2nd and 3rd on the second run. :eek3:
yes definately, heck i bet they will have some real numbers with in the next week or so I know doug lol and I know the potential of this car. 11.7 is not it
i haven't seen a stock STi run at a track personally... from what i hear, most stock STis will bearly break into the 13's at commerce (with the exception of genya of course)... i might be wrong though
the best i ran at dallas was 8.4(which it is a pretty bad track), i thought i should be under 13 in the 1/4, figured around 12.7-12.9
yeah 8.4 is 13.104. you need a stong 8.1 to get in the 12.7 range. what were your 60' @ dallas that night?
well, with a good launch u might be able to beat a faster car in the 1/8th but still loose in the 1/4th... also shouldn't gear ratios have a lot to do with it? i dont see how a simple multiplier like 1.56 will work for all cars
the 8.4 was like a 1.9 60ft time, but that track has some major uphill action going on. i did get down to a 1.7 once, but missed a gear later and ran a 8.6 i think
well damn it i guess i will just have to go to commerce and see, genya u planning on going anytime soon?
Maybe friday if the car is up and its in the 70's at night. Hmmm well the low is 63 for that day. Wouldnt be too bad. Bambooi wishes to go and i owe him one lol But thinking about it, Id rather go to silver dollar.
lol its my son.. I only have him on the weekens. Then there is being on call for work. etc etc. This weekend a wedding, next weekend going to florida for the first football game
hmm I thought we were playing nice over here. They had better go ahead and shoot for the 9s, I dont think that 11.2 is going to last long Wink Wink Matt
Oh the showdown is apparently the 9th btw all. There is a nice bed and breakfast local for the cost of a normal room, and it is 3/4mile away. Ima look into it.
thanks guys for keeping it cool here... i know these showdowns, even though a lot of fun, are tied in with bragging rights... guys, lets please try to keep these boards clean of unfriendly competition
The Shortblock for the mustang should be here in about 3-4 more weeks, I ended up going with a diffrent setup than what I had Planned. I ordered a Dart 428 shortblock, so Im going to have to switch up a few componets. I'm looking for over 1000hp on pump gas. I just want to drag the bumper a few times. wink wink The Subaru got hit the other night so its in the shop, I think were going to do a Doluck body kit and respray the car in Java Black. Right after that the big turbo goes on the suby.
Stock Block is still in the car but will be coming out as soon as the new turbo goes on. The Tranny is a Straight cut syncronized PPG gearset. We are hoping for something in the 700hp range. Matt
that will be in a couple mags when u get done with it, are u going to make it streetable or just for the track? by the way if u every need an extra hand, i'm right down the road. I'd love to see these cars
The car was actually scheduled to be shoot for a couple of small mags and for my new web page. But since it has to be painted anyway the photographer made a few phone calls and it sounds like its going to get picked up by one of the Big Mags. Ill have my 240sx out for the Mountain Run. The Mustang is still probally 2-3 Months out. The Subaru is probally 30-60 days out.
