So how fast is your car?

Well, just wondering what kind of cars we have here and how fast they are. Also post up your mods.

The Vehicle- 1993 F-150 Lightning.

Mods a CAI and an e-fan.

Though Ive never gone to a track to find out, my truck should go-

0-60 in 7-7.2 seconds.
1/4mi anywhere from 15.0-15.4 at around 88-89mph.

This is based on what other Gen 1 Lightnings times are with mods.

Hopefully Ill have new mufflers some time soon. And future planned mods are Underdrive pulleys, a shift kit, and a timing advance.

My goals are to go to a track and break the 14second and 90mph barrier. Which I should do with the above mods.

Car-E46 325i with a CAI

Times: Never run, but somewhere around the 15.4

However, right now I'm going for the gold, a pegged speedo needle. I've hit 150, it stops at 155.

2002 GT mustang 5 speed. Pics in my signature. I run low 14s..the track 'opened' the first sunday this month..but has been closed everyday due to 'inclement' weather that never came. My mod plans are as follows, in no order: exhaust/x pipe, 31 spline moser axles, 31 spline eaton posi, vortech s-trim, short throw shifter, deep dish bullits (17X10.5) in the rear..stock size up front. 275 (maybe smaller) nitto 555s up front, 315 nitto 555 drag radials outback, anddd it needs lowered too.

1987 Buick Grand National


Old engine

11.12@122 MPH with race fuel

11.78@114 MPH on pump gas.

New engine goals.

9.5something@ 145+ MPH

shooting for 800+ HP to the wheels.

Car weighs 3,145 LBS (YAY glass bumpers,fenders,hood, trunk deck!!!)

Hopefully I will have update pics soon

Hmmm, it's been awhile since we've had one of these:
2000 nissan maxima SE, automatic, comfort&convienence package
Performance Mods:
self-fabricated WAI
custommaxima.com Y-pipe

NGK Iridium spark plugs
Non-performance Mods:
Street Scene 2-piece grille insert set
Body color painted front side markers
Debadged rear decklid
tons of scratches and door dings
cute little red nissan seatbelt pads
severely cracked windshield
Via G-tech, my best run is 15.23...could be faster or slower than that, depending on what track I run at, if I ever decide to track it...fastest I've hit on the speedo is an indicated 131, it maybe could go a little faster than that, but yeah, that about sums it up.

1972 Chevrolet Vega

Mods:

Engine/Trans:
406 cubic inch small block Chevy
flat top forged pistons

5.7 inch forged steel rods
400 steel crank
roller cam (probably .600 lift, don't actually know)
Pro 1 cast-iron heads--fully ported, shaved, chambers filled in, 2.08 intake, 1.60 exhaust valves
Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake

Chassis/suspension:
tube frame

Other:

It's a bracket/ET car. As it sets, it'll pull 1.4x 60s at a good track (1.5xs at where I normally race), with new slicks, it'll go probably very low 1.4xs at a good track and high 1.4xs at where I normally race. Will run between 6.60-6.70 in the 1/8th mile, and if it had the gear, probably 10.30 or something in the 1/4.

I race at a 330 ft. drag strip (all they have room for) and it runs 4.4x now (will go 4.3x with new slicks) at around 84-85 mph. While I dont know 0-60 times, it goes 0-about 85 mph in 4.3-4.4 seconds.

My everyday vehicle is a 1992 Chevrolet K1500, 4WD, regular cab, 350 TBI, 4-spd auto (700R-4) with 3.42 gears. I have an Airaid intake, Poweraid throttle body spacer, and Flowmaster exhaust. I have no idea what it will run (never raced it--thats why I have the car), but if I were guessing, i'd say somewhere in the 16 second range, lol.

96 3000gt vr4, mods in sig, ran a 13.59 @10_ with just the intake. Hoping/aiming for high 12s this Friday.

The car ran a 14.053 at 102.52 quarter mile. Bandimere Raceway (5860 feet)
That was early last season. I have not ran since installing the cam and adding the Nitto DR's. Probably won't get a chance either.
Last dyno was 376.8 RWHP/370 ft/pounds. This was on January 30th.
I don't have accurate 0-60 times.

My truck's details are in my signature. My 0-60 time is about 10 seconds (counted in my head while watching that semi get closer and closer). 1/4 mile could be as low as 9 seconds... if you start counting once I reach full speed. It's not that fast or quick (would do good with new carb, this one's junk), but I'll pull against any street racer :)

Oh? You'll pull against any street racer? Well uh..I'm a street racer. Do you think you'd pull against me?

Luos, get your ass down to sea level, I wanna see what that thing will run down here!

Lous, get your ass down to sea level, I wanna see what that thing will run down here!
Shooting for mid 12's here on the stock rear end and drag radials.

I wanna get kicked off a track in September for no cage. Gonna be visiting family in Iowa, and hopefully I can take the car with me and run it at 600 feet instead of this 5860 shit.

Can your stock rear end handle the LQ4 with all those goodies?

crunch. bye bye gm 10 bolt.

that's what I was thinking....500 whp+drag radials+stock rear end=not so good.

2004 Electric Blue Srt-4

1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4...unfortunately stock. But I have a manual boost controller in my room, which will take boost from 9psi to 14.5psi. Then I'm getting an OBX EL Glow guage and selling the car.

Oh yeah, the Mustang...really my "dad's" now, coming out in a couple of weeks. '89 Notch: K&N, headers, X-pipe (no cats), exhaust, engine rebuilt and bored. 3.55's in the garage and $2200 waiting for 2 weeks. Either a 347 stroker or H/I/C...and the car does high 13's/low 14's as it sits.

1987 Mazda RX-7 base.

mods: bootleg free cone filter, mazdent fender mod.

plans: swap in turbo engine (streetport, ported wastegate), run high 13s.

the mods are in my sig. I ran a 15.6@91mph the last time I tested her...................mid 15s................oh well it could be worst! :uhoh:

Lol, how mout..."how slow" is your car.. In my case, my gal is probably a late 15's car, 0-60 in maybe just under 8 seconds.. I got a 95 4.6L tbird that once...ONLY once i did a nuetral drop from 4K and i swear it the car felt like a mustang.. If i can do that on the 1/4, i'd probably hit mid 14's.

*Will never do that again*...no damage, i think..lol..

not fast enough,

id like low 12's or high 11's

right now probaly low 13's, maybe 12's on drag radials

i run high 14's @ 94-95 mph. my mods are an intake, springs and struts.

Off topic a little but is it true all Mustangs made from 1995 and up are limited to a top speed of 110MPh????

Teh Civ iz 2 Fast 2 Furious!!!

Really, I don't know. The one thing I am sure of is that I can keep up with an H22 Accord with IHE :dunno:. But from what I understand, that is a good for a low 15 High 14 sec car. So maybe that's where I'm at. L8...

We have yet to race still. I'm dying to find out how well I do. I'm still pretty sure he can take me. But it will be a very close race. L8...

that's what I was thinking....500 whp+drag radials+stock rear end=not so good.
I wouldn't be trying to launch it hard. I know that is going to be a weak point in the car once it is done, and I will be addressing that next spring.
But right now, it has to hold until then. :lol:

All on a STOCK block with 136K miles.

no, 95+ mustangs do not top out at 110mph. who told you such a thing? i've gone every bit of my speedometer.

Don't forget that he has a V6 Mustang. It CAN'T go above 110 period. No limitor needed.

Lol, it's speed limiter is the fact that it has 145 hp stock :D

I wouldn't be trying to launch it hard. I know that is going to be a weak point in the car once it is done, and I will be addressing that next spring.
But right now, it has to hold until then. :lol:

Don't count on that. I had the same exact plan with the slightly over 500 hp big block in my 71 Nova. Taking it easy and making the rearend last. The 10 bolt rear end lasted all of 700 miles (that's being generous), and I did not really launch the car one time. Thats stomping the gas from 25MPH + rolls and it's still tore up.

As far as mods/what my cars run.

The Nova has had EVERYTHING from the engine, transmission, cooling system, (and soon to be rear-end) modified. It has this under the hood of the car (BBC 454):

And this on the side of the car:
http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/119468000_0544.JPG

So not like it needs it, but it tends to surprise just about everyone.

The Corvette is a 69, also with a BBC 454 in it. It is also pretty heavily modified:

And the 454:
http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/119468000_0550.JPG

And I wont go into detail about the Ws-6 because its 100% stock, and everyone knows what those cars are capable of.

As far as 1/4 mile times, I have no idea. The Vette is worth too much money to risk bringing it to the drag strip and tearing something up, and the Nova keeps breaking stuff on the street, to a trip to the drag strip is out of the question right now.

Here is to hoping that my altitude will hold it together as well. :icon16:
I am hoping for 500 RWHP corrected. Actual will be around 425. Damn this mile high shit.....
I don't plan on running it too hard until everything is in order. A high 12 second pass at Bandimere is more than enough for me this season.

2000 ford mustang, bone frickin stock... i dont exactly have a lot of money to spend on mods right now, i probably wont ever do anything to it... just wait till i graduate college and get a new 07 cobra or something like that. i havent actually run mine in a 1/4 but it runs a low to mid 15 stock. dont have any pics up... but its amazon green, thats a darker green than most mustangs u see.

no, 95+ mustangs do not top out at 110mph. who told you such a thing? i've gone every bit of my speedometer.


I don't have a definative answer...but my friend had a 97 or 98 GT and it sure seemed limited around that area. I never drove it, so I don't know for sure, but I recall being his passenger on the highway once, and he couldn't get it above 110 or so...and with a v8, that shouldn't have been a problem...so perhaps some years did have it???

2000 doesnt... my governor stops it at 118.

Maybe just the 94-98 mustangs...

I seriously had a dream about posting stuff online and all i remember was that someone said that all Mustangs made from 1995 and above were limited to 110 because of emmisions....Iam just confused if i was really dreaming or if someone actually said that...???.....By the way what is the top speed for a 99+Mustang GT..I would estimate at about 140-150MPH
