Stratton, I'm taking over for you...
Ok, I've driven a turbo stealth, and a VR-4 3kGT [Q]i can vouch that they will handle a 100 degree switch back s-turn at 120mph in damp conditions with out even squeeling the tires - i run bridge stone potenza directionals bout 265 a tire .... an if u took a 240 an do that stock you would end up in the woods about 200 feet if ur lucky enough not to hit the trees on your way in[/Q] Haha, a 100 degree switch turn over two miles. Seriously, you think because you've taken an on/offramp fast that your car is the shit? You argue that RWD loosens your rear end? Well AWD pushes through a turn like hell. 3kGt's and stealths are heavy cars. Wait wait wait, this part gets me too, DAMP conditions, and tires DON'T squeal. Wow, impressive, I mean, I leave a white cloud of rubber from my fiero when I get on it in damp (aka rainy) conditions. I would seriously like to see you run an auto-x event and watch your ass get handed to you. www.scca.org Better yet, *News Flash* Mclaren, Ferrari, and BMW announced that their new breed of cars will be either FWD or AWD due to RWD being horrible for handling... Come on man You can set up ANY car to handle, they just have different characteristics when you start hitting that threshold... FWD, Will push, but (if you have the power) you can get on the gas and the back end will follow out AWD, Pushes, always has, the harder you get on it, the harder it pushes, it just has more grip out of the hole RWD, Back end will want tend to walk out BTW that turbo you showed: Its just the HOUSING, you still have to get the spline shaft etc. waste gate etc. The reason you get NAMEBRAND turbos is for the fact of reliability/research and support. A namebrand is less likely to take a shit on you and destroying your motor... My friend has a shelby daytona (turbo). Dyno'd it out to 179Hp, 201 ft/lb torque. Thats a T3 turbo www.turbonetics.com This thought that a turbo is the answer for all horsepower needs its stupid. Spit all these 1/4 times off your head that you want, hell even all these turbo specs. But if you have a motor that can't handle it. (Throwing a turbo on stock motor does havok on the piston skirts) I'm not saying turbocharging is bad, far from it. Just this notion that you should just slap a turbo onto it is becoming sickening. My Fiero will blast any of those cars up there and I only have $6k into it (11.98ET) Now I realize his maturity level, listing the 'burnout' factor of a car all while undermining himself. [Q]then i slam second an they continue to spin[/Q] So, now you're saying you can't get your front wheel drive car to hook? or you can't drive, either or... Oh wait, hes also doing a 4krpm clutch dump, thats the smartest thing ever. I personally OWN a 91 Eclipse GSX (Turbo All Wheel Drive) just dropped the motor into the machine shop to get some work done (punching it .040 over, shaving head, decking the block, balanced, taking out the balancing wheels, etc) I'm building for 350-375 HP. As of before, the thing pushed hard as hell through turns, I would imagine with the more HP its goign to amplify that problem. Hence why the car is only going to see the strip. I would take a clean 240 over my eclipse or a 3kgt. Last edited by RandomTask; 10-08-2004 at 02:12 PM. |

2) Youre saving up for a supra?? Not trying to be offensive but you have to lose the Fast and Furious mentality...supras dont perform well considering their cost and also,well, cost a fortune for a decent one. 3) Take driving lessons and please dont just get a car and start ripping up and down the roads just because you have a car, the more I read about young drivers gonna race, the more I get scared of driving on my own highways (take it to the track!), and im only 23! |

Re: Bout to turn 16 and needs help
ya the skyline gtr is a tight ride - now that would a be a awsome race against a 3k vr4 or a r/t tt - i was gonna import one of those 5 years ago - it was gonna cost 85k to get one shipped to the usa an make it street legal - they have to down tune them to allow them into the usa....after that they push 365 hp ..... i didnt think it was all worth it to buy something that was down tuned - it would be nice to own one though - sharp lookin whip

Stop talking out of your ass stealth. You have no idea what you are saying.
