'01 Ram-Air TA thinks he's all that!
 
A friend of mine just bought a new '01 TA w/ ram-air. He's only got about 500 miles on it and putting around breaking it in.....and he's already shooting ooff his mouth. He's gonna this, he's gonna that, there's no N/A Stang that he can't beat......it never ends. Well, I told him that when he's good and ready, car's broken in, and he's comfortable driving it, to let me know whenever he wants a rude awakening. So, 10 car lengths? What do you think?

well if he can drive it right and when he breaks it in give him no more than 4 legnths to be on the safe side. if u run mid 12s the 2001 ram air T/As can run as good as a 12.9 if your an experienced driver. the '01s come with an ls6 intake to up the power from the 2000s.

By your times you whoop his a$$. Totally stock don't bet on him trapping more than 105. The easy mods will get him 108-109. Just don't give him 5 cars. As cocky as he sounds he probably give you the leave...

I am sorry but the LS6 intake is ONLY available on the Z06 Corvette or by Chevy parts over the counter, it was confirmed that the SS and RAM AIR won't even get the LS6 in 2002 as it was rumored. Go check camaroz28.com, it is on the front page.

SaleenGTS 05-07-2001 07:58 PM

I don't think you will beat him by ten cars...maybe 3-4, but you never know...I have sen those WS-6's run 108-109 with a good driver...so, we'll hope for the best eh?

Good Luck

Unit 5302 05-08-2001 12:32 AM

I'm betting you'll take him by 10 cars. With your new mods I'd say you should be able to run low 12's.

Stock I'd bet your buddy will run a second slower. That's about 10 cars.

90dpscoupe 05-08-2001 01:45 AM

lol, on fun ford friday this guy had the nerve to show up in his red 01 ramair, i lined up with him ready to get smoked, but i blew him away, but thats because he stalled his car?? turns out he was a 16 yr old kid who just got it, so he wanted to go again we went i had him off the line and something happened to him and he ran 15.?? my brother said the t/a's reverse lights came on while he was shifting....ouch!! he finally ran 13.6 against another car.

I'm figuring (if all goes well), I'll be able to take him by close to 10 cars, since I'm probably running 1 second faster. We'll see. As I said, it'll be a few weeks, but i'll let you all know the results.

Steve2000SS 05-08-2001 01:12 PM

With those times you should beat him by at least 3-4.. BTW all 2001 fbod v8's have the LS6 intake.. but that only adds a few hp without the LS6 heads (or ported LS1 heads).. GM likes to standardize to save $$.. By the way, not all of us LS1 guys are full of themselves http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

I agree Steve,

I shouldn't generalise like this but it seems to be a common problem.

I still think you are wrong about the intake http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif. I asked on camaroz28.com to check, if I am wrong I will gladly apologize but I read the GMHTP every second month and I am sure they would've mentioned it if it was the case.

LT1 Z28 05-09-2001 12:46 PM

Dooh! I am wrong! Sorry Steve.

I'd better stick to what I know, LT1's.

05-09-2001 01:29 PM

Steve and LT.......are you sure you guys really drive Camaros????? You two seem too cool not to drive a Stang. LOL. Kidding aside.....it's nice to see some cool/level headed Camaro owners in the mix.

Wow, the new LS-1's are now mid 12 cars from the factory. They just keep getting faster don't they? Low 13's, high 12's, **** , now they are mid 12 cars.

Anybody at all besides me notice he has mods since his 12.5?

LT1 Z28 05-10-2001 06:50 AM

Thanks for the compliment. I actually like Mustangs and like they say: "Know thy enemy".

This board is really cool. Lots of smart mature people here as opposed to the sport compact crowd I tried to hang with lately. I gave up on them. To tell you the truth, it kinda made me feel like uniting with all muscle cars to kick some *** against these guys. If they accomplished anything, it's putting Ford and Chvy guys against them and THAT's gota be bad! http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

The only reason I chose to own a Z is for purely subjective reasons, the looks. Heck, I could have a 88 5.0 and drop a stroker in it for cheaper than a 94 Z so....

Its really great to have some nice, cool Chevy people here. Wish they were all like you guys. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

To tell you the truth, I really don't have any Stag friends living locally. I hang w/ two late-80's "wicked" Chevys...a Monte SS and GTA (both worked 350's)........we live to embarrass and destroy all rice burners.

How did you guess I was talking about them?!? http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

But it's not only that, I went to an import site featuring carshows and allowing users to post comments on the rides. At first I tought it was hilarious but after a while it got really boring;

1st ricer: Yo, that ride's phat bro!
2nd ricer: Yo, it sucks, I hate it! (no reasons given)
1st ricer: Yo! I bet my car is faster than yours loser!
2nd ricer: Your mama....

Then there was a Mustang at one of the show. Everybody is burning it because it is not a sport compact. WTH?!? I find they are narrow minded and racists! Yes I said it! Racists!

Ha well, just love to hate them. There has to be a bad guy to fight right? And this time, it is not Ford! http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif

Yea definately, i only know 2 stang guys i regularly cruise with, the rest have irocs, and f-bodies, and we love bashing imports, actually there is one mustang owner i talked to on another website that just makes me sick http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/frown.gif, he has a 96 cobra, and is driving 700 miles to attend an import shootout in dallas, now of course we asked why in gods name would you do that? he said "because i like imports, and they have been into DOHC technology for a long time"... well needless to say he was flamed badly and told to buy an import and shut up blah blahh..

4V or not, no american v8 should ever be compared to a honda or toyota like that.

Kevin, I know this is off topic and I'm sorry to use your board to talk about this, but please bare with me just for this post.

The news down the pipe about those guys at CC is they are "allowing" us back in soon.

Post 1, they talk about it...

Post 2, the proof

Personally, I don't want to cut them out just because of one member, ... but do they deserve our attention after bitching us out? What do you think?

LT1 Z28, I see that you racked up about 45 posts in one month... I guess you like this place, eh.

The problem is even when you approach the imports crowd with a genuine interest in what they do, they will still shoot you out of the group.
