what do you race

Im just getting into racing. Im interested in what cars you all drive and what mods you did (times as well). Also input on a first car/setup

1999 Sunfire reportin. No mods, but I'll be throwin in a new Cold Air Intake (anyone know a good brand?) soon.

What kinda car do you drive around in?

1989 Honda CRX Si, the usual intake header exhaust right now, but I just ordered a new engine (b18a1) and a custom turbo (should get around 10psi). This setup should be good for around mid 13's in the 1/4mile. :devil:

Well, on this board, you're going to get 3 kinds of responses... guys telling you get an import, guys telling you to get a domestic, and guys telling you to get a honda :p

The important thing to do is figure out how much you want to spend at once, and how much you can spend later. Also, figure out what sort of car you are looking for. If you're after a 1/4 mile dragger, your best bet is a lightweight chassis(there are many out there) with a domestic V8 and auto tranny.

If you want a pure sports car, there are many great choices out there, and it comes down to personal preference.

If you want a car that handles like a sports car, but goes like a drag racer, your best bet is to pick up a good sports car, and swap in a new engine.

How much do you want to spend?

1996 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS25t. Only mods so far are 3" catless exhaust and Trust Airinx pod filter. I've only had her since March this year. :D

Heheh, 86 Aerostar, 2.8 liter V6, 3300lbs... relocated the battery to the jack location(left rear wheel tub)... Removed 3rd row seat, moved 2nd row to 3rd row location, resulting in what I like to call, the Pimp-O-Star :)

Future mods call for an engine swap with a performance built 4.0 liter V6 with 5 speed auto tranny... I'm looking for around 270hp...

I don't have the 931 yet, so no racing :(

Oh yeah, forgot the Aerostars mission statement...

It's my shop van until I build a lowrider flareside/stepside! My goal is, a 14 second Aerostar, just to go humiliate kids in the newest rice rockets :)

I just want to see the look on their faces when their little RSX or SiR get's burned by a minivan! :spit:

93 t-bird, runs...well...who knows..

anywhere from high 14 to mid 15....I beat low 15 sec cars, and on the freeway I'm king with 3.08's but on the quarter I -could- be better.

So yah, stuff....

WHAT YOU WISH TO DO WITH CAR?

1994 cobra with mods in the sig. Going to dragstrip on friday for some times. Thats if it doesnt rain, its rained about every friday that I have been free to go.

right now im driving around an Escape but i hope to get a new cars soon, when my lease is over. I know im going to buy this time cause i have big plans for a racer.

i race my s2000 now and again .. only freeway stuff nothing crazy.. straight line stuff.. never timed it.. and i don't bother racing my si since it's just my box .. not a lot of mods so why race when ya can't win by as much as you want to ..

i race my 95 maxima that has a k&n cat back plan on adding sc and a better clutch next year
also plan on racing my 72 chevy truck which has vortec heads, msd ignition,edlbrock intake&carb,back up by a muncie m22 rock crusher i will take that to the track as soon as i get new carb and clutch its also duelled out with headers

I race my S2000. It's stock at the moment.

I have put a best time of 13.795 down so far in the 1/4... but I'm going to the track this Friday and plan on hopefully breaking that personal record. (i have a matchup with a 99 GT at the track this saturday)

lmao, im going to get you one right now.

me so happy:D

A stock GT and an S2k should be able to put down high 13's for both. (properly driven and good track conditions) It's definitely an even match and driver's race.

(though the S2k will trap higher, as it pulls on a GT from about 50mph on up)
