bradenton (sat morn. and a new PB)
 

RT.713
60'2.068(PB street tires)
330'5.869 (PB)
1/8 8.930 (PB) @ 79.85 mph
1000' 11.583
1/4 13.794 @ 101.54

I am totaly impressed, especiallly with the 60ft on street tires. That is a better 60ft than I have ever gotten on street tires.

Nice time, BTW: I hate you cause my track is still closed;)

Re: bradenton (sat morn. and a new PB)
 

Yeah, I was there, I saw you run. I saw you talking to some oriental kids who seemed very impressed with your times, nice times! :cool:

Re: Re: bradenton (sat morn. and a new PB)
 

one guy with the maxima is a friend from the internet,the rest are his friends and family...we talk alittle and ive been telling him, i really was hoping to break 13...and i finally did, BTW how'd you do? how many runs did you get?...i left ,it just got to be too much waiting...
ill tell ya and i dont mean to come off the wrong way(bragging),but 3750lb.FWD 6 cly all engine, im impressed,it's everything i could have hoped for.a couple more mods and ill go 13.5 i hope

Here here. My track is having insurance problems. Like racetracks need insurance.:eek:

hey but the trade off is during most of the year 85*+/100% humidity

I only got in 2 runs, I never got a solid hook even on drag radials but my first was pretty good.

RT: 511
60': 1.925
1/8: 8.224
MPH: 87.46
1/4: 12.733
MPH: 109.15

I trashed the 2nd slip but it was a 12.91X with a lot of spin! I think I did pretty good for a fully loaded automatic car with NO weight reduction, my only mods are Mac equal length headers and a Whisper high flow air lid ($600 worth of mods).

Your car ran good, what exactly have you done to it? I see your sig but don't know much about the imports, my freind who was there saw you run (he was a Honda / Acura salesman) he made the comment "There's no way he's stock!" ;) what did your car run stock?

Re: Re: Re: Re: bradenton (sat morn. and a new PB)
 

lid and headers and you're 12's...damn,no gears? or torque convertor?
anyway,like you i have headers,and intake would be similar to your lid,those 2 items cut about 6/10ths off the 1/4,and a stroked short block ,from 3.2L to 3.5L along with a bump in compression from 10.5 to 10.87:1 did the rest, a stock cl probablly runs 14.7-9
unfortunatly i never ran stock...oh ya tell your friend the block is from a honda oddessey he'll get a kick out of that

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: bradenton (sat morn. and a new PB)
 

Yep, stock 3:23's and the stock 1600 converter.

I'll let him know about the engine coming from a Oddessey, thanks for the info!:cool:

join the club!
 

Nice job, Steve!

I hit a 13 finally today as well in Orlando. May have been able to back it up with another one if the waiting wasn't so long.
Again, great job & chat at ya later!

Re: Harley?
 

Haaa, good one Rev! are you refering to my slip from my old T/A from like 2 years ago?:p Here is yesterdays slip> http://hyperphoto.photoloft.com/view...438&i=10282575

Notice it says #14

http://68.56.66.243/~printerror/bmp1...s/Image27.html

And here is a pic from the track yesterday, notice the #14 on my window! ;) I have proof this time!:D the car on my slip was my friends '02 Z-28, he has a GM Hotcam, lid, Magnaflow 3" catback and tuning. He still has the stock manifolds and cats! his car is a beast to say the least, he ran a 12.40@115+ later on in the day all on the stock Good year 245's! the Cobra I ran in the pic ran a 12.5 he got me 60ft time pretty bad, but he couldn't pull me, we stayed even down the track, not sure what all he had done to it, it did have a healthy cam and skinnys, was a nice car!:cool:

Old times past
 

Just trying to kid you a little from old times past LSJ1. As low 13's seemed optimistic then, high 12's seem the same way now. But I still live back in the 60's, anywho. LOL.

Rev

Re: Old times past
 

Yeah, I remeber you ribbing me way back when, I myself find it hard to believe how fast cars have got in past few years, I look back at what all it took to get a 13.4@101+ out of my L-98 Formula and now how easy it is to run 12's with a LS1, 12 are just expected now and 11's with bolt on cars are fairly common even, heck, even the Mustangs are getting faster!:D I hear the new Mach1 will be low 13's out of the box! thats LS1 territory, the '03 Cobra's are running in the 12's out of the box and low 12 to high 11's with a just a few tweeks! things have changed huh? :cool: Heck, when I first got into fast cars back in the 80's all I wanted was to hit 15's or if lucky a high 14!:D

Re: Old times past
 

I bet you still have a carburator too!! :rolleyes: :p :D


I'm with you jay, the performance that the cars have now is sometime unbeleivable untill you see it for yourself. I rememebr the car craft and hot rod magazines and they have articles on how to get into the 12's and now there are cars right off showroom floor that drive in and with minor mods run 12's and a few that runs 12's stock!!

Re: Re: Old times past
 

Good to hear from you Mike! you should have come down yeterday with us, the weather was really good, 50's and dry air.:cool: BTW, Rev. Mike has seen my car run 12.80's in not as good air so he is my witness!:D

Take care guys!
JAY

But I can still tune mine with a screwdriver. Can you?

Rev

I'm assuming that "unbelieveable" is the key word here, LOL.

Rev

I think the key word is "unbelieveable", LOL.

Rev
