I Got Smoked!!!

I just got back from work tonight. (HOME DEPOT) Well one of the guys thier saw my 3000GT SL and asked me if i wanted to race. So i said ok ( my first race). There is about a 1/8 mile strip in front of the store we raced on. O by the way he has a Eclispe GSX standard. And well he had me off the line and i could not catch up. It sucks!!!! And plus i think the manager saw us racing. SO lets hope i dont get fired.

I'd guess that you won't get canned. Sorry about the loss, you were walking into a tough race.

I agree. :)

is your sl stock

Ouch! your probbably running stock and he is probbably mad modded right? if so then thats not freaking fair. but I have a few mods and I've spanked alot of bone stock GSXs. which also is not fair! still nice run and as long as you didnt race on Home Depot property your manager cant do squat!

Stock vs. stock he would have lost. The turbo DSMs run right at a 15 flat in the 1/4 and an SL is said to run mid 16s based on a couple of sites I just checked out.

Edit: this is assuming competent drivers

Lando, I dont want to question your knowldge in any way, I know you know more but are you for sure SLs run mid 16s? cause my car stock ran a 15.8. and I know that many other SL s run mid 15s. again I am not questioning you, i just wish there was a deffinate relliable source to see true stock SL times!

My information was based on R&T numbers form a 91. You have a 94, so there may be differences (as I know there were in VR4s) that I am not aware of.

Even at a 15.8, a 15 flat car should walk away nicely (again, assuming equal driving skill)...that is all I'm saying. :)

Typically SLs are said to run mid 15s, there are a few members on this board that have run 14.9s, but that is not typical. Mid 16s does sound a bit high to me as well, just like 14.9 sounds extremely damn fast. But between them, mid 15s is usually the average that people go with. I don't know about the GSXs at all though, so that 1/2 second difference is still an obstacle to overcome.

I agree with Lando about the GSX winning over a SL if both stock. the 15.8 is not very respectable but I've invested alittle over 4 grand since then and that is why I can beat some stock GSXs (again, not trully fair) but I dont know what my time would be now since i havent been back to the track for a while.

He said he was stock but he was fast. I started to catch up with him but i couldnot. A had a 150 pound wieght reduction and a air intake.

stock for stock a gsx is little faster than a sl by probably .3 seconds. the awd is fairly easy to work with off the line so, nothing to be shocked or down about, our little brothers the dsm's are quick little sons of.........

basically us GSXrs own you :bananasmi

own who?

15.8? stock sounds a little high. you got an automatic? SLs usually average out a 15.3. yeah and the gsx are a little faster than the 3000gts bases and SLs. man if we only had awd. also with a few minor mods it shouldnt be very hard for an SL to beat a GSX.

own who? GSX's own all... we just strap a 16g and some 660s, plus other simple mods and we own all vr4's.. what yall need is this.....

ya the thing is we dont dont have to strap on shit an we own u stock - tt's n vr4's totally own the step child car gsx - if we add shit like your talking we will just own you more so dont act like ya have over 300-320 hp stock - its not happening - ya gsx's are pretty quick but not as quick as our 183 twin turbo engines... i you can be a twin turbo with a gsx outa the box then the twin turbo must be having probs. lol cause it dont happen kid

:loser:

yea well it surely can beat your gsxs ass. so please be a little more respectful towards 3000gt vr4. 320 hp vs 210. no comparison there.

i'm surprised only one person commented on the race from OFF THE LINE. Yea, first off, those cars are close enough to where its a driver's race, and even then, your looking at an AWD launch from a stop, the AWD will tear up a FWD on the street every time unless dude just really sucks at driving. GSX's are close to the same speed as an SL, but GSX's are much easier to upgrade and mod then any 3/S, plus AWD, and a race from a stop. Now, go out and race a GS-T from a stop and then you'll be able to have a better comparison.

3800 lbs vs 3000 you fucking boat

who are you, and why are you talking crap. are those all your cars in your sig? what do you do for a living?

oh, and if we had as much aftermarket as the eclipse, we'd dominate you upgrade for upgrade

Please excuse 98gsx...he just gets a little passionate about his ride ;)

However you all have to admit that with $10,000 you can build a faster dsm than vr-4. I agree that the vr-4 is an amazing car...and upgrade for upgrade we have no chance. Why? Because you START with more hp, so how does anyone figure we would ever catch up?

You all can't deny that your car is more expensive to maintain and upgrade though. Two turbos to upgrade or replace, less developed aftermarket, etc. I love vr-4's, and looked into buying one before I got my talon, but they are more expensive to buy, more expensive to maintain, and more expensive to upgrade!

3kgts are a very classy and fast ride, but DSMs can always be made faster ;)...just ask Shep :iceslolan:!

thank you joemathews, that guy is pretty dang annoying. your right the dsm's get farther on the strip then us 3kgt's. if a 3kgt owner ever comes down to the eclipse forum talking crap, just pm me :wink:

thank you joemathews, that guy is pretty dang annoying.
Out of line as well. He doesn't reflect the intelligence present in the community, but he seems to reflect the average stereotype of the "new breed" DSMers.

hehe i am sorry.... i was just bored... my apoligies

no need to start shit... just causes a big mess and no one wants to read it when they want to learn about cars or figure out a problem they have!!! so if you're bored ever again... take it to Off Topic!

... :sorry: :banghead: :smokin: <-better now

DSM's can have all the quickness they want, ill take speed, their cheep turbos (14b's @ 150 each) and their girls. :smokin:

oh god, why start it up again

lock this fucking thread

I had to, I havent argued with anyone in a long time.

:shakeheadyeah i just thought it was disrespectful to come here an talk shit like gsx's are owning vr4s n tts - he knows hes just a :bs: artist who was trying to start shit in a forum that he doesnt even own a car in - we all know our twin turbo's own outa the box an gsx's cant touch us with out serious upgrades an evidentually :gives: about him - VR4's/R/T TT's are beautiful/amazing an thats all that matters - cause its a 3kgt forum so acually u are the loser so :flipa: fuck you and you've just been :owned: in the 3kgt forum - an it would happen on the street :nutkick: so please dont come in an start shit with us - we are here for fun an a good time an to discuss problems an help people out...
