he modded his car and it blew up, no big deal.........

Yup, that it does. However the term "ricer" still applies and as I stated earlier it matters not if they're driving an import or domestic.

Yes they were made in general, and I never said you used the term "ricer".

The M3 was racing. If you watch the vid you can see that the M3 does nail it off the line. If you think that M3 even stood a chance you need to look up how fast AWD turbo Eclipses and Talons are.
As far as launching, that's the way you do it with those cars. If you want a good hole shot, you've gotta do that. Either way, the launch had nothing to do with the motor going, that would just blow the tranny(which he had done 2 weeks earlier. That's why he said "Here's my tranny test") That car is modded pretty good, he pushing about 400hp. The bottom ends are notorusly weak, so it's not that's surprizing that he blew the bottom end, even he admits it was just a matter of time. As far as him not knowing jack about his car.....er......he's the one that's got it torn down in his driveway. Looks like he knows his stuff. And I don't know about you, but if I blew the motor in my GT my parents would be mad, would I still pay for it, oh hell yes. but they'd still be pissed. So get off the kids back, he blew his car. BFD, lots of people on this board have broken their car. He'd probably have no problem dispatching lots of mustangs on this board.

It was Obvious to me when he brought his car up to 1,000+ RPM the first time and Held that it hit a Flat spot happened it did the same on the second he shouldnt have launched. Live and Learn.......

Why is it so doubtful a well built AWD would'nt beat a mustang? I always bealive the driver is the Octane of the fuel not the car.

Besides, a Tubo AWD vs. a RWD N/A M3, why would you need to rev the living piss out of it? Grant him he is young, but deserves what he got. James

The guy is using a two step revlimiter to launch. Thats it. He is not bouncing the "real" rev limiter.

Those of you that have never raced an AWD DSM need a reality check.
It is not uncommon at all for them to pull low 1.6 60ft's on street tires. The M3 was racing if he wasnt he wouldnt have even been in the picture. There was nothing wrong with his car when he launched it. The motor didnt blow till the boost built up. I raced one with mild mods and he very nearly handed me my *** and my car isnt slow. He had me by 2 1/2 cars right from the jump and I was most definitely racing.

Everybody makes mistakes, but to show your stupidity over the net is asking for it. Its one thing if he posted about it, but the kid tried to show off and made himself look like an ***. If he knew anything, he wouldnt be racing that Bimmer in the first place. Why would you have to use a 2 step(It didnt sound like one to me)on the street with AWD against a BMW? The kid was being a kid and deserved to get his balls busted. Oh by the way, 20lbs is cocky, but at least he has something to back it up with. Your Stang cant Hang with that Buick V6. Quote:

SRV1: How is he any different than heads/cam/intake/bolt on/blower 5.0? That's too much power for the stock block. But lots of people do it.
Why did he launch it so high? 1) those cars make tiny amounts of torque, you have to launch them high to get them off the line quick. 2) He had just gotten a new tranny and limited slips installed. If you watch the video you can hear him say "Well, here's my tranny test." So he posted a vid, big whoop. He showed what happened to his car. How is that any different than Pokey 5.0 posting pics of his block split down the middle? My stang can't take one of 20lbs turbo V-6's? HA!!!! I need to change it, but all mods in sig are now installed. I could take the GN N/A and more than likey edge out the TTA when I open the giggle gas (but that's cheating )

a common swap, however, is to replace the 2nd generation motor (7 bolt) that is known to "crankwalk" with a 6 bolt motor from the first generation DSM's. most people don't do this swap until they blow the 7 bolt motor. some may consider it dumb to build the 7 bolt, without upgrading to the 6 bolt. personally, i'd consider it a waste of resources to swap out a perfectly fine 7 bolt just because it might crankwalk in the future.
