FOX BODY,
You are right. But is it a RACE or KILL if the other aint RACIN. I only questioned that the LS-1 hit it first, and SNAKE said he jumped out so far, so quick. I can kill a Formula 1 car on my bike if I pedal fast enough and he's not on the gas. But shouldn't we try to keep these stories somehwat real? I could post a story about the time I beat an F-14 after he hit the after burner, but I believe its classified. ------------------ 347, 279/284 .493/.510, TFS TW, Stealth, 750, Flowtech hdrs, Dr. Gas X, 2 Chmbr Flowmaster, MSD 6AL-Dist.& SS coil, Art Carr C-4, Currie 9" w/3.55, alum Drv Shft, susp mods, 4 wheel power disc In a 66 coupe |

So you are saying that gears don't effect 1/4 times that much? Are you on crack, have you ever raced a car before? I have seen gears drop a FULL SECOND of the 1/4 time and they improve the acceleration across the board! But I don't know what I am talking about do I. Lets see I have only built several cars, went two years to be a mechanic, go to purdue for mechanical engineering, and worked as a engineer for a major automaker, so basically there is no way I could possibly know what the hell I am talking about.
Let me guess your background you are 12 you have read several magzines and played tons of Gran Torismo 2 right? I mean come on 301hp at the wheels thats what 345hp at the crank throught 3.73 gears in a 3500 pound car thats similar to what those Modded LS1 cars claim and they say they are in the high 12's. Bottom line is anything can happen in street racing and some cars run stronger than others it takes a lot to call BS on a guy you don't know and is not claiming anything unrealistic. |

Foxbody, you're right, I will end this crap now.

GP6T,
I respect your challenge and your comments, but I don't respect the way you challenge and comment. Are you trying to open up hostility? Seems that you are: "So your saying you made up 5 car lengths on an SS in 3rd gear. I've seen a STOCK SS run 13.1@107. So you must be in the 10's at least. That is the fastest 301 rwhp car Ive ever heard of. I think you should start your own business. You would put Saleen out of biz in a flash. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ENGINEERING AND DEVELOPMENT SKILLS enviously yours, The Beacon of Reality" A few other senior members on this board need to use a little more tact too. Who acts like this at the strip? Could it be b/c we don't see each other in person while typing that we feel it gives license to act like elementary school kids. ------------------------------- '79 Mustang Coup 4" Cowl Weld wheels (15x6;15x8) Stock 5.8L C4 w/ shift kit 1.5" MAC full length headers Holley 750 CFM Edelbrock intake 2.5" Off road H-pipe, 2-chamber Flowmasters 8.8" Rear end w/ 3.55 gears (Now that's more like it!!)

GP6T oh beacon of light, master of all masters... why in a hell do we upgrade our gears, to go slower??? Why do we get drag radial, because we love throw money out the door.
This has nothing to do with power, but YES THE ISSUE IS ABOUT WHICH CAR IS FASTER!!! You state it yourself. You are the beacon of light (turd)... please explain, I'm waiting... cuz the light ain't to bright to me right now. And for your information we are not pissed, we are amazed at how someone can be so funny. Keep it coming... ------------------ Lizard King, Bone Stock; 13.69 at 101MPH • http://members.mustangworks.com/liza...meburnout2.mpg •http://members.mustangworks.com/liza...stangVSLS1.mpg • <A HREF="http://members.mustangworks.com/lizardking/quartermile.mpg" TARGET=_blank>http://members.mustangworks.com/lizardking/q |

GP6T, shorter gears WILL keep you in your powerband dumbass why do you think most 4 cam cobras run 410's?...because when they shift they want thier rpms to stay higher. Go back to ClubSi and give them your "beacon of homosexuality" because nobody likes or wants you here Troll.

GP6T, gears DO help keep you in your powerband. Why do you think most 4 cam Cobras run 410's? They want to stay in a higher rpm when they shift. Nobody likes or wants you here so take your ignorant "beacon of reality" and your $hitty attitude somewhere else.

Whoa, this tread has gone to sh*t.
I think there are too many people here who are talking about physics and not enough that actually know what is going on. I could poke so many holes in some of these explanations it would take me an hour to sort it out. Lets all have a little more respect for each other and leave this thread drop. We obviously are not getting anywhere. |

I would have to agree with the last couple of posts. This one has served its purpose and then some.
