IM raising the BS flag on this one
 
Yes i call bs here unless a power adder is now a bolt on i call bs but i could be wrong i guess anything is possible but im still not sure.

joe4speed 03-25-2002 09:19 PM

I'll have to call BS too! ;)

lx mike 03-25-2002 09:31 PM

No friggen way with just boltons. 4.56 gears? thats alot of gear to be running 120 mph in 1/4. that guy must be a 4.6 god if he got those times out of a 2v engine with no power adder. i'd be interested in know what other "tweeks" he has done and what he calls serious weight reduction.

ponyguy093 03-25-2002 09:59 PM

there is now way in hell he is running that kind of times! i think he forgot to tell everyone about the 100hp nos shot he has! and 4.56 gears, that does seem like a lot of gear for 120mph!

I think he has this quote mixed up it should be
You must b smokin this if u think I'm running 11.48!

Cause that isn't to believable. They are really ripping it to him on that board. lol

PGkelly 03-25-2002 10:46 PM

yeah, those people aren't very nice.....as for the 11.48, well, it's like holding up a big flag that says "look at me, im an idiot!". no point in arguing with him, he's just misguided.

Unit 5302 03-26-2002 12:51 AM

Maybe his user title has something to do with it?

"Pathological Liar" He's probably just trolling around. I have better stuff to do with my time.

You're kidding right? You must be new to the Mustang hobby, plus as Unit pointed out, the guy's SN is totally a troll name.

I love how he can't change the tricycle avatar LOLOLOLOL

BS on stilts
 
The link worked fine but the post was an insult to sentient intelligence.

Probably just some dork playing with people and living out his fantasy-car dreams online.

As much sad as it was silly.

7000rpmisheaven 03-26-2002 10:22 AM

For everyone's info. The ET calculator in the analyzer section of this site says that under ideal conditions it takes a 3000lb. car about 400hp to hit 11.4.

I don't know what he got his weight down to but I vote BS as well.

89LXFLEA 03-26-2002 10:30 AM

The weight reduction consisted of removing
everything but the cage, motor, trans, rear-
end, & 1 seat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4.56 gear 120 mph trap speed is possible
if he can rev that 44444444.6 to 9800rpm!
lol thet is to funny:p :p :p

PKRWUD 03-26-2002 02:52 PM

Pathetic. Both the idiot in question, and the site for encouraging him. Reminded me of Jr. High School antics. I must admit, though, the theory that installing a roll cage will make your car faster was funny. I wonder if he runs faster with a full 5 gallon water bottle strapped to his back, too.

Not my kind of website.

Mustang Works is a great site, we all agree, but after seeing that one, I'm felling that the word "great' doesn't begin to do MW justice. We really do have it good, folks. (Thanks Dan!)

Take care,

Mr 5 0 03-26-2002 04:58 PM

Appreciation
 
PKRWUD:

Now that you've mentioned it, I noticed that too. The nastiness and BS on that board was way more than we usually see - or tolerate - on MW.

Just shows you what a difference forum moderation and reasonable, intelligent members can make, and how much better the boards are for that.

Thanks for pointing it out.

PKRWUD 03-26-2002 05:14 PM

There were replies to that thread from two different moderators for that site, and they were just as bad as everyone else. What a joke. I agree that it's both the members and the moderators that make a site worthwhile. That site seemed to have jerks on all fronts. It's too bad it took something like that website for me to see just how good we have it. I mean, I know this site rocks, and it's my #1 place to be online. I probably spend 80% of my time online here. But still, seeing that kind of trash put things in an even clearer perspective for me.

Kudos.

Take care,
-Chris

Funny thing is, on that other site they just ripped on the guy, whereas our members figured out how much horsepower he would need and doesn't have and that you can't go 120 with those gears.
Ahhhh, what superior Stangers we are.

6T9PONY 03-26-2002 07:06 PM

Ahhhhhh......Ain't (sorry for the grammar) Mustang Works the *****?:D :D

well he has been making those claims for a long time. They have already all been through the calculations,and proved him wrong. Busted him for photoshopped timeslips,etc . He even posted a pic of somebody elses car claiming it was his. I just wanted to know if it was really possible if a real person tried it.


As far as that board, its a place where you can say whats on your mind, no matter what it is. It's not over moderated, and don't have software to turn profanity into stars, IMO that is childish. I mean we are suppose to be adults right ? The tech forums do stay clean, "The Pit" is anything goes,and has a disclaimer before you enter it, "Not for those who are easily offended" .

Thanks for the replies anyway.
