Like i said I ran 12s in full street trim and on 17s and it was also my first time drag racing with at a real track. With a little practice and some extensive weight reduction and maybe get some slicks i really dont have any idea what i could run. I bet low 12s maybe high 11s.

Repeat...What was your 60' like when you ran 12s?

my 60 ft time was about 1.8 but i think it was the turbo lag. But who knows. My car pulls really hard in the upper rpms.

A 1.8?? That's DAMN GOOD! But that's not adding up then...Not saying you're lying, I'm suggesting the Gtech is lying to you

What was your mph like? With that good of a 60', and 400+ whp, you should have been getting down there quite a bit quicker than 12.5ish...But what's the mph like??

ZildjianRocker · 09-25-2002, 10:37 PM

12.7@114mph.

Yea, about what I expected...You're making more like 300 whp, if that. Your mph is WAY too low for 400 whp...Get to a dyno and get some graphs.

well, i , for one, give you props. thats gotta be a fun-ass car to drive. but the mint-green neon color is nasty as shit! get a paint job fool! hehe j/k.

ZildjianRocker · 09-26-2002, 10:24 AM

Actually i got the car painted mint green because i liked it so much.
I had it painted orange but the bumper was flaking off so i just got it painted mint green. Sorry about the 400 hp. But i will take the 300. Nothing like 300 hp in a 98 dodge neon. Thanks

Hehe, no prob...I'm still just guessing here though...I say do whatever it takes to get to a dyno. Not only to find out how much peak hp you're making, but more importantly to get your A/F ratios tuned just right, and find out what your curves are like. They're probably horrible since you've never had a dyno tune before, and have all of those mods.

chad174 · 09-26-2002, 08:06 PM

you actually like that mint green color for your car? its so 50's! i think you have good taste as far as engine mods, but your car must be butt-ugly.

FREED0MFiST · 09-26-2002, 08:45 PM

I dont think the mint green is too bad. Not a big fan of the taillights though.

FREED0MFiST · 09-26-2002, 08:48 PM

I couldn't agree more. I am not a big fan of neon colored cars, but thats a badass color

No wway would my car ever have a wing like hers that wing sucks. I have WW touring wing which is very nice and not too big. Sorry if you dont like the color of my car but i think its awesome and its fast as shit. I am looking into finding a dyno close to my home but no luck whatsoever. Has everybody seen my engine? Here is a link..

I might be getting a digital camera tomorrow so i am going to try to take pics of my car as soon as possible. If you look at the engine pic you can kind of see the color of the car by the bumper. But if you like the engine let me know what you think.

yah, don't take it the wrong way at all. i bet your car fuckin flies. i think its pretty tight. im just saying the mint green isn't my taste, sorry if i come off a little blunt sometimes. its the way i was raised. i do think your car is tight tho

ZildjianRocker · 09-27-2002, 10:30 AM

Just wait until i get pics of my car. Ever heard the saying 'never judge a book by its cover'? They should be up today or tomorrow.
