had this really strange thought so I might as well ask it. Could a stock manual v6 silverado hang with an RSX S?

no, i raced a v8 silverado in my 02 civic si and smoked him, also i got smoked by an rsx a few times so, no

and i've seen bricks with more aerodynamics than a silverado.... :p

^ exactly lol

and i've seen bricks with more aerodynamics than a silverado.... :p


LMAO man u sound just like my dad, haha.

and i've seen bricks with more aerodynamics than a silverado.... :p

aerodynamics really don't really affect a race untill about 80 MPH or so.

Nope won't stand a chace.

What do you run, like a 16 flat? You guys are going to learn that not all trucks are slow. :evillol:

i know i was just kiddin', hehehe i couldn't resist

To answer your question, it should be no contest for a RSX S to beat a v6 silverado. Just throw some more cubes in there and it won't be a problem. :naughty:

90redgt, what kind of times are you putting down with the new project? We have several old fox bodies around, but none of them are getting very serious with them. They just put a Flowmaster on them, and think they are fast. :rolleyes:

That is very true....but most trucks with a 6 in them dont have much grunt.

You're very right about that. The 4.3L is just too small a motor to pull that much weight. My old 4.8L V8 the truck came with wasn't much to it. With the programmer and intake, it went a mind blowing 15.4@86. :rolleyes: It's come a long way since then, but I just tell people it's a 4.8L. When they don't believe me, I tell them to look at the sticker on the shroud or run the vin #. Usually the ricers go for it, but the guys that actually "know" somthing about cars can tell the truck is loping its ass off(a huge red flag that the truck isn't stock).

Dude, I think your project is awesome.. What is your car domain page? id love to check it out.

Thanks man. My cardomain is http://www.cardomain.com/id/nonpoint12

I have alot of pics to upload of the build and quite a few of it at the track. I'll try to get them up soon. You have a cardomain profile?

Whens it getting Blown? ;)

Whens it getting Blown? ;)

:naughty: If I can't get into the 11s NA, then I'm going to weigh in on my options for power adders. When I first did the cardomain site, I had totally different plans for the truck. I was going to use a charger and spray on the little 4.8L, and see if I could get 12s. Now I'm shooting for 11s on the 6.0L only. I have a few more tricks to try out, and if it isn't there, I think it's time for a nice wet shot. :grinyes:

aren't new v6's fast enough where you could just add exhust and headers or pulleys, and beat an RSX S?

why wet?!?

might need the extra boost

why wet?!?

Why not? A wet kit is going to be the best route for him, unless he is going with like a 50hp shot.

You could probably do some bolt ons a get the win. It's been a while since I've been in a truck with a v6, but I do remember they took pretty well to mods. Give it a go!

Why not? A wet kit is going to be the best route for him, unless he is going with like a 50hp shot.

He's right. The wet shot is the best way to go for me. I'm starting with a 100 and see where that gets me. I just don't trust the factory MAF sensor to adjust my fuel to nitrous ratio. I also don't have the injectors at this time to feed a dry shot of 100 or more. I'm pretty much maxing my injectors out now, so I know a dry shot wouldn't work for me. These fuel rails are damn easy to tap into for a wet shot as well. :biggrin:

I don't know...not trying to start any trouble or anything...but I don't even take a 'race truck' seriously. Trucks try to race me everyday. Hell, more so than cars. and I just ignore them. This one guy followed me around driving side by side with me for about 10 miles. Before I finally made a turn to get away from him. He just didn't get the hint that I do not race trucks. I don't know why...I mean there are some fast trucks out there, but I just don't take them seriously. but..I'd imagine the RSX would win.

what car do you have.? is it like your afraid of racing trucks b/c you might lose or something!!! Some trucks are fast, some trucks are slow, it depends on whats under the hood!!! By the way any car should beat a truck.

so is it just that your afraid to lose to a truck??? I dont get it..... a fast vehicle is a fast vehicle car, truck, whatever.

Fast trucks might be hard to find but you just got know where to find them.

is it me does everybody tries to hate trucks unless you have one. And then you have ones that do own one and hate it probably bc they can't drive it!!!

2002 GT mustang. and I don't know why I don't take race trucks seriously. Like I said...some are fast. but it's just...I don't feel like pushing myself and my car to beat a truck. It doesn't excite me. because I already assume in my mind I'm going to win because...well it's a truck. So yeah.

Fast trucks might be hard to find but you just got know where to find them.


ok..... that had nothing to do with what i said

I dont wanna race trucks becuase I just see it as stupid and dangerous. You have something that wieghs far more than a car, with the aerodynamics of a brick, not made to go fast, going fast. I was in a boddies truck doing 90, and I honestly thought we were gonna die. It was shaking, making way to much non motor noise for something doing 90, and was wobbly as hell when he tried to turn. Its stupid and not safe.

Also, everytime I race a truck, the guy trys to chase me down after I win. I raced a Suburban or something like that once, and I whuped him pretty bad (from a roll up to 90). I slowed down, and then his ass runs up on me, gets right on my bumper, then swerves (looked like it was about to roll) out and cuts me off. So when I go to pass him, he wouldn't let me. I finally used the break down lane and shot past him, and walked away like he was parked. Same thing happened when I raced a pick up truck (older Chevy POS) and another SUV, I think it was one of Ford's (navigator or something). Stuff like that has only happend once when racing against cars. I could also go into a rant on why I hate trucks in general, but I'll save that for another time.

Trucks might be sort of slow but they have better downforce than any other car. So the front is nailed to the ground. Some trucks are powerful bt those engines are just made for upgrades with as much power as they have.

Trucks have big motors for one thing, torque. Trucks have lots of torque for one reason, pullin'/haulin' shit. Not trying to race sports cars. The end.

If he's not heavily modded, my truck is faster than his GT. the end x 2 :biggrin:

My truck has over 400hp and I don't have a rear bumper or a trailor hitch, so mine was built for haulin "ass" :biggrin:

Ahh this reminds me off a Escalade that ran a low 14 at the track this past summer loaded with people, sounded nice and it goes to show that you don't have to drive a car to go fast. Now I know low 14s isn't really that fast but it's not bad at all IMO in a SUV, btw this was the one with bed type thing instead of a rear cap if that made any sense.

so you don't like racing bricks??? Wanna race my 1987 Brick. :evillol:

Just because something is not aerodynamic, does not mean that it was ment to be slow. And look at this truck, it is not an old POS.

I never said his was a POS, and I think your Buick is a bit more aerodynamic than most trucks. I know their are fast trucks out there. However, I'm going to have to disagree with you on one point.

When it comes to movement at higher speeds, Aerodynamics play a major role in stability and control. I dont mean the actual aerodynamic look, but true aerodynamics play a major role in control, stability, ease of gaining speed, and such when it comes to racing. If it didn't, then why do all the profesional race leauges out there make cars with near nil drag coifeicents, and those that dont (i.e. NASTRUCK) use aerodynamic modifications?

I know that the 1/4mile is where just about everyone runs and brags about running, and in this sense, aerodynamics dont play as large of a role becuase even if high speeds are acheived, they aren't sustained for a long enough time for aerodyanmics to come into play. For the most part, the 1/4 is more about power and gearing than aerodynamics.

Hey regular cab trucks are not really good for hauling but might be better for racing.

Hey regular cab trucks are not really good for hauling but might be better for racing.

what does the cab size have to do with hauling?? or are you thinking bed size.......

bigger the cab= heavier the truck duuuhhhh.usually bigger the cab the bigger the engine to tow and haul with

um..............sure

what happened to johnc24

you gotta be really stupid to think the mods wont realize YOU ARE JOHNC24. You got the same info in your profile and the same sig.

bye bye
