yes the firehawks do suck. the are the most over priced tire that has ever existed. i just ruined one of mine and i am going to replace it with another firehawk b/c i can only afford one tire right now. but luckily it has gotten nice enough i was able to put my 18" VX-K's on.

but acctually when you start making more power you will find that you will have horrible wheel hop on the track due to the traction compound layed on the track. but on the street wheel hop should not be a prob at all if you launch correctly.

and to KrNxRaCer00: the way it is phrased now i can agree with. it would take a lot of work and cash to hit what he is claiming. QUIFE LSD would be a must.

NO, what he would really need is 100 more horsepower:rolleyes: This is a joke...What's the guy's number you said to call? I'm going to call him...


Also, from a moderator standpoint...Condense your posts, there's no need to make 4 different posts in a row, 2 minutes after each other. Just split them up if you have different arguments to address, especially since you're not quoting anyways, thanks:)

I have z rated tires, 235/45's kinda helps. I didnt call anyone a kackass or a newb so screw off bud. Pick a little bitch fight somewhere else. Or get a faster car...then maybe id hear what you had to say!

IF your car can run in the mid-14's, you should try running a stock MR2 Turbo (US SPEC). It would give u the opportunity to see how good your launch really is. And if you plan on using your nitrous, try running a slightly modded MR2 Turbo (with maybe exhaust, FCD, BOV & MBC). But honestly, I don't think you'll be able to get anywhere near a turbo deuce without nitrous.

Given the mods that u have, I think you'll probably be a good match for my FTO GPX (filter, extractors, exhaust & Unichip). Pity you'll never even be able to race one.

Self...now your acting retarded to be a moderator!! What do you think my turbo would do?? It will give me 100 hp, by then ill be running high 12's. Really, this arguing is just for your guys and my amusement since in a month ill have nearly 300HP's. His number is (937) 533-1730!! Give him a call, hope you dont hit a brick wall...wait a minute YOU WILL!!! He will do nothing but throw facts at you!! Give him a call and let me know what was said..no nevermind ill ask since im sure you will add your own little comments to it. Later!:smoker2:

I'll call in a little bit. I WANT him to throw facts at me, so I can relay them to the board. Since you have yet to give us ONE fact even:rolleyes: We're not talking about next year or whenever you'll have your turbo. We're talking about RIGHT NOW. You would need 100 more horsepower than you have NOW to run the times you run NOW(0-60 I mean, quarter isn't impressive at all).

Not impressive?? Dude get your head out, its getting dark isnt it! Ill be THE fastest Cat on the road, and im talking about the new edge cats by the way. The Cougar will beat any out there even w/ out using Nitrous with the turbo(which will be installed in the air to air intercooler). Whats NOT impressive is getting an already 12 sec car to a 11 sec car (you)!! And by the way its going on before May 9 th because thats when the Cruisefest is going on and ill be there showing off the boosted cat. Granted ill have serious traction problems, but it shouldnt be to bad because the Neon Carson did ran a 12.9 w/ STREET tires. Hopefully a sponser will step up with some posi and other goodies. Called him yet????

Correction...Low 14 stock...Low 10s now(expected...I HAVE NOT been to the track with the current setup, as school and the bad weather have prevented it, and this is just an estimate judging by the power and weight of the vehicle. I have no problem admitting that, unlike yourself).
And once again, I'm not talking about the future, or what will be, or might be...I'm talking about RIGHT THIS SECOND. And right this second your quarter isn't impressive...Upper 14s if I'm not mistaken? Your 0-60 though is EXTREMELY impressive as you can manage to hang with cars that have 6 more cylinders, 300 more horsepower and weight the exact same if not less...THAT is extremely impressive, if you could even begin to prove it, or give one fact that would back it up, or even try to tell us how it was done. You still haven't...No I haven't called yet, btw. I'll let you know when I do.

cougarSVT you talk abotu nitrous but how are you going to install it if you sell it. remember when posting here i read the NECO boards and yes i do read the for sale section. yes everyone he is selling his nitrous kit on the NECO boards. either he isn't going to install it, he has a diferent kit in mind, or he is going to screw someone over on the NECO boards(not a good idea).


"Ill be THE fastest Cat on the road, and im talking about the new edge cats by the way." WRONG
i know of one cat in Iowa that soon will have a running supercharged 3.0 in his car right now it is getting dyno tuned.

also James howards cougar will be way faster than anything you could do. he is getting a completely built engine w/ turbo and a nitrous set up. yes i know his isn't an everyday driver type of car. but i can tell you the one in Iowa is.

also how fast do you think you are going to be able to go. what drive train mods do you have planned to get that power to the ground i hope some tranny udgrading and of course a LSD are in the works. if you want this kind of work done talk to Terry Haines of Haines motor sports he is the cougar/contour master. you can read about him at fordcontour.org.

Seriously, drop it. This topic was pretty stupid to begin with, it doesn't need to go on any further. Whether the guy is lying or not, what does it matter to us? We're not ever going to race him.

I must admit. I have enjoyed the comments made by CougarSVT throughout this thread. By the way...my bro says he'll let me bring the Turbo'd Si if I ever come that way...I'll let you play then

:D guy is full of ish...simple as that...i didn't know that z rated tires an a coil-over kit was considered "set-up for drag." I ASKED wut all u have done to ur suspension, an u sidestep EVERYTHING. psh...ur a waste of our bandwidth...get off the board.

i would just like to point out that not all new cougar owners are like cougarSVT.


please dont group us all as being like this guy.

well as the senior cougar owner on this board hopefully people would know that i never bs so hopefully that would refelect good on cougar owners.

In my opinion this thread is a flaming pile of dog shit. SVT you post and you post but you fail to post one shred of evidence that you can pull those times. Also, you think you will be getting 100+ more HP just because you install a turbo and an air to air intercooler. You might, and you might not and like self said, that is the future, not now. I don't give a crap what you are going to do; I want to know what it runs now, and the truth. Sure my GTC project will be running 11s or 10s in the 1/4 when I am done with it, but right now it can't muster under its own power, hell, it doesn't even run!

I even wonder if you know what you are doing, and if you plan on installing this turbo right. If you were really looking for power then you would be installing an air to water intercooler. What about a fuel regulator? What about all of the other things required installing a turbo? What are you doing to build up the engine? What about the exhaust?

I am closing this due to length and the sheer fact that it has drawn on with no intent to show any proof what so ever. I can only see this elevating even further than it already has.

If you can be more civil about this and show us some proof, than open another thread, otherwise they will be closed as well.

As for you Neutrino, I am calling BS! You BS all the damn time!!! :p

Yea ok, this is done for...Interesting debate while it lasted:)
