I can't even believe I'm bothering to post. Wonder why I left this board in the first place....
86 Grand Marqui(s) can't even spell the name of the car he has. I'm sure you're known as the "guru" because nobody else living out in the "woods" has any idea what those city rules of street racing are. Apparently, you've single handedly created a joke of street racing in your area. As for the Probe doing 140, quit bashing the quote. If you want to do a fricken comparison between the aerodynamics of that car, and a Mustang, you might find some almost merit to it. Throw in a speedo that's off a little and voila. 140mph on the speedo, assuming the speedo reads that high. I have the day off from work so I thought I'd swing through. This is the crap I find. A 34 year old ricer who doesn't know what kind of car he has, is the street racing guru for his area because he invents the rules, has been on the internet a long time so he doesn't type clearly, and a bunch of people with errors in their own typing bitching about guru boy's typing. How about some real math since I wasted so much of my time reading all this **** (admittedly, my fault). If 86 Ricer steals (takes the jump on) Sedanman out of the hole, and he's 375ft in front of him, how is the damn race flagged? As soon as Sedanman is able to hear 86 Ricer's car take off (unlikely since it's a 86 Grand Marquis, and I didn't see exhaust listed as a modification, maybe it's just all rusted away to make it loud enough to actually hear)? That would mean Sedanman's R/T + the time it would take for the sound to reach him (we're assuming the standard figure for the speed of sound, not taking into consideration outside factors such as the barometric pressure, humidity, temperature, and CO2 concentrations 331.45 m/s or about 1087 f/s) would be about .35sec + R/T of about .500 (benefit of the doubt). That's a total of .35+.50 = .85sec. How far will 86 Ricer travel in .85sec. Since he borrowed his grandfather's 86 Grand Marquis that pulls a 2.19 60ft time, he'll average about 18mph through the first 60ft. .85 x 18 x 1.5 = about 23ft. So he's really getting another car plus some, and close to a 14mph rolling start. Obviously, the car won't accelerate in a linear fashion, but it decreases the complication of the mathematics involved, and since we are dealing with rather minute time frames here considering it'll take over 16.5sec for 86 Ricer to complete the race, it should be accurate enough. It's clearly obvious 86 Ricer sticks to the back country street racing because he would get the crap beat out of him showing up with that car and trying to stage a 15 minute race. LOL. The one real question is, how do you pull a 2.19 60ft on dirt roads? Does Farmer Cletus-Bob put down traction compound on the sand? I think I've satisfied my need to check in for a while... |

Ok, 1 at a time,1..Nothing I have has an s at the end of the name,2..I live in the city,we race in the woods,3..I did not start the Probe Thread,4..No idea what"Ricer" means.5..A "Flag Man" Race is a Race with a guy in front of the 2 cars that has his arms up, then drops to start the race, in theory.6..You are correct, I need New exhaust,7..It's My Car,8..I wish I could hit 18 mph in 60'.9..Noone is going to touch me,and it doesnt take but a few minutes to set up the more difficult races,10.. @the Dirt Road thing.11..Welcome Back.

Racing Guru?
I think when they call you the 'Racing Guru' they mean, "The creepy old guy with the POS." Just a thought.

60ft. 2.19sec. 60/2.19 = 27.40ft/s. That's your average speed. 27.40ft/s = 18.7mph. Do you understand that bunch of VERY VERY simple math? That's your average speed needed to cover 60ft in 2.19sec. Average, meaning since you're accelerating you MUST go faster than 18mph by the end of 60ft, or it's impossible for you to 60ft in 2.19sec. Taking that astute observation made by me into account, and assuming a linear rate of speed increase, you'll be going 0 at 0ft, 18mph at 30ft and 36mph at 60ft. There are obvious flaws in such linear math because the car doesn't accelerate or cover ground in a linear fashion, instead it covers ground at an exponential rate. Meaning accleration would be closer to d = st^x where d = distance, s = a variable t = time and x = variable. |

Another thing. Is this your fricken car? Does it have an "s" at the end of Marqui? That's what I thought. It's Grand Marquis, not Grand Marqui. Dang it. Ricer. |

Unit, it's good to see you back around and causing trouble. This guy is Florida's biggest PITA. I think we should send Joe down there to investigate this so called racing.

Ok, 1 at a time,,1..34 is not Old 2.. It needs Paint,but flawless otherwise,3..No idea what you mean,4..I don't agree, but no biggy,5..My Car does not have an s on the end.If it should, it doesn't 6.. He's not causing trouble,I don't understand his attitude,however, and I still don't know what "Ricer" means. Noone down here seems to know.

Oh Well. And no, I don't really browse the threads.My connection is only 28.8 so I don't browse around that much.I will ask around Sat night,when many are racing, about the Ricer thing. I have looked at some threads and I now know.The "Ricers" down here as you choose to call them,VERY rarely race. They show their cars and play "that" music.We did have a 4cyl that we did race from time to time. A Dune Buggy type with a Volkswagon 2,500(I think) a Holley 850 and a Ray Jay Turbo that made 35 pounds of boost,with a 90 Horse Nitrous Kit.We never made a full pass at the track,but we did race a 10 flat car and gave him 3 and the hit,on the street.After the Malibu rolled a few cars he was right beside him and never looked back. He guesses it went High 8's. He is certain it went at least 125 in the 8th.ps: I know that motor is not a Japanese motor,just using it because it was a 4cyl and not a U.S type.

3) You have no idea what I mean? About what?
4) You disagree with what? 60 / 2.19 = 27.4 or 27.4ft/s = 18.7mph? Or maybe that if you start slower than average, you must travel faster than average to obtain the average? Or that an accelerating car covers distance at an exponential rate? Which mathematical concept do you disagree with? Perhaps you should become a math professor so you can right the wrongs of math for the past few thousand years? 5) I don't care if your car doesn't have an "s" at the end. The fact you don't know what kind of car you drive is a bit ridiculous. Yet you claim to know cars like the back of your hand, and you can even tell how fast they are by listening to them, lol. A ricer is somebody who tries to talk like they know what they're saying, but they really don't. Normally they are relegated to Honda Civics and the like with huge wings, big stereos, ground effects, slammed suspension, rims, and an exhaust they claim makes their stock 100hp 4 banger into a 250hp Mustang GT killer. The only difference in this case is you're domestic rice with a grandpa car. I congratulate 86 Grand Marqui, please accept the well deserved award pictured below. |
