American Muscle

it's been a while since i've posted, but this one i just gotta post it, well anyways, i dont race a lot of american muscle cars nor do i come across them very often, so i wasn't sure how this american muscle would act upon my slow import, anyways, the story, i came across this muscle car that looked very strange, it had two mufflers, yes, those mufflers you see on stock cars, not the fancy dual muffers you see on sportier cars but mufflers, not muffler tips, so i was thinking "wtf", it passed me pretty quick on the right side, his window was a little down and i saw an LCD screen of some sort and some gauges, i heard no turbo or a supercharge whine, so i'm thinking it must be some other sort of pressure or oil gauge, anyways, he looked pretty young with a bandana, so i'm like :) mind you, i dont mess with old folks, right away, i followed his tail, we came to a stop light and he reved at me, yep, definitely no t/c or s/c, so he must have some vacuum gauges or something, anyways, i revved back, letting him know i'm gonna go when the light turns green, well, light turns green and i punch it, my car gets off the line pretty quick (2300 lbs.) i get a couple car lengths ahead of him and wasn't sure if he took off or not, so i slowed down and see whatsup, i let him get a couple lengths ahead of me and slowly crept on him, when i got to his bumper he took off, ok, now he wants to race but didn't want to at the line? hmmm...anyways, i gave him a thumps up when i left the main street and he did a little rev back

so, my main concern about american muscle cars, they dont like racing at the line or something? only highway racing? hmmmm...

Don't make assumptions based on one persons actions it will get you no where in life.

Most american cars do better from a stop.

But, depends on what type of car it was... did you see what brand of 'american muscle' it was?

oh shit haha

I want my 2 minutes back...

You make it sound like you have to have forced induction to go fast..

most american muscle cars are built naturally aspirated with v8's.

Even so, you wont always hear a turbo or a supercharger.. especially over the roar of something like a v8..

yay another thread about random rubbish - this place never changes :grinyes:

You dont?

:1: :mad:

It was probably a dodge caravan or something.

Well i don't know what the guys problem was.. Maybe he didn't launch good..

BUT, just cause it's an American Muscle car..don't mean it's fast as sh*t. Hell you can have a NA big block chevy nova w/slicks get beat buy a smaller engined car with more HP..

Sometimes it sound dumb.."American Muscle".. I use to get so many customers at autozone that thought just cause they dropped a worked 350 into there monte..it would eat everything. I love american cars, #1 for me...but you get sick of them after a while.

BTW, if your car is 2300lbs...and a FWD, i seriously think youd have some bad wheelspin.

give the guy a break, he may sound childish at times but hes just learning. if i read back at my threads from over 3 years ago, i would want to punch myself in the face too.

If all you do to him is criticize and give him shit, all his posts will look like that. Help him out, and everyone benefits.

:biggrin:


and i want to :thefinger :icon16:

beating a nova big block with slicks would be pretty damn hard dude. Especially if it was a 4-spd car with with 4.11 posi.

What is this "American Muscle" you speak of???

^ don't play coy you fast bastard!

What is this "American Muscle" you speak of???


I'm still wondering that too...

He never gave a discription of the damn thing. Just that it was American.


Wow, gee... that really narrows it down.

and i want to :thefinger :icon16:

My thoughts exactly... Glad you said it first though. :p

damn so my secret has been exposed. hmmmmmmm so how about it guys? :naughty:

I'll take a rain check...hemroids.

you guys are sick

how do you make an eggroll?

you push it.
ahahahaha

I must be delirious from lack of sleep because I actually laughed out loud at that joke.

i have no idea what the intentions of that joke was, but i must admit it is kinda funny.

:rofl: It's too damn early. I lost some of my pancakes out of the side of my mouth laughing at that one...

Tat...:disappoin

You guys suck...making me laugh here at work..

WOW seriously that was SO uncalled for... Ricer If you are still alive...What "american muscle" was it?

Rice(r) seems to be a pretty good member. He's just falling into he habit of making assumptions based on one event.

I had a friend with a semi built 350 cubic inch "american muscle" powerplant in his 72 skylark run slower times then my pretty much stock sentra (15.8 @89mph), and similiar 60ft times. A change in gears however netted him a 14.2 @ 98mph.

There are several factors in off the line acceleration one of which is very important, and thats gearing. It doesnt matter wether if it has a v8 or a 4 cylinder, gearing will change any cars accelertion characteristics. Of course traction is important too, but the guy you raced could have lacked either one... resulting in him not wanting to race from a stop.

I come back from my 5 month hybernation and run into this shit? :mad: I'm going back to my cave, see you guys next year.

Rice(r) seems to be a pretty good member.

...most of his posts that I read leave me wondering :wtf: !?!?!?!? He jumps to some ridiculous assumptions based on things he imagined...

honestly, once I read a post by him that I can make sense out of I'll be his biggest fan. Yah we were all new at one point or another but we also learned to form coherent sentences at one point or another.

waht you sed???/??

i seem to remember a post by him that was so eloquent, so refined, so generally non confusing that even some mods congratulated him

You actually took the time to post something as dumb as Rice(er) did? CB, you just sunk to the bottom of my crap list. Congrats. :biggrin:

:lol: Only kidding.

actually that was alot of copying and pasteing...lol. im sitting at home coughing my lungs out... they need to make antibiotics work faster :(

Or you could just choke and die. I'll let you decide what your outcome should be...:evillol:

:chair:

and the antihistamien (big sp)
:sleep:
i dont know what it is but it makes me go loopy, and not in a bad way, or maybe the Antibiotics, Antihistamien, and Pain killer with a dash of nicotien and daquil is whats causing it.

Yeah... we're done here.
