all the races pretty much have a little story behind them but too lazy to type all that....if you want to know them just ask......just recently I also raced
civic coupe with a h22 swap with bolt-ons.....35mph-100mph won by 4 cars and pulling from a 35mph roll and 2 cars from the dig....traction owns me....same night also raced a LT1 twice from a 35mph roll....35mph-100mph first race bet him by 3 cars til 100mph...second race gave him a car and beat him by 2.....and just this past weekend got in it with a 2000 camaro SS (mr.ls1) well this race went something like this....on the way home from cruising giving up on the night cause I could find a decent run I look in my passenger side mirror and find what appears to headlights from a lowered car...little behold he pulls up besides me and its a maro ss...went down like this....

ls1: pulling up next to me him and friends get hyphy....
me: not in to that shit so I just shake my head while my boy already knows what im going to do...
LIGHT TURNS GREEN SO I SPIN SOME TIRES ALL THE WAY TO THE NEXT LIGHT....
ls1: pulls besides me laughing him and his friends....is that all you got hahahaha...
me: shaking my head once again I begin to launch....
LIGHT TURNS GREEN WE BOTH TAKE OFF SPINNING FIRST AND SECOND IN TO THIRD I SEE THEM A CARS LENGTH BACK SLOWING TO THE NEXT LIGHT...
ls1: ay you didnt get me though, you didnt get me though....lets roll one more time then see whats up....
me: hahahahaha what ever makes you happy
LIGHTS TURNS GREEN WE BOTH HIT IT AGAIN THIS TIME MY CAR STARTS TO SPUDDER AND HESITATE....FIRST SECOND AND THIRD WE STAY EVEN....AT THE END OF THIRD I START TO PULL INTO FOURTH I HAVE A CAR....SEEING THATS THERES A BEND IN THE ROAD I HIT THE BRAKES AND HE GOES FLYING PAST ME TURNING ON HIS HAZARDS.....I THEN PULL UP NEXT TO HIM.....pretty pissed from that ricer flybye...
ls1: hahahahaha
me: lets go from a roll now
ls1: naw im coo...you cant beat me anyways so whats the point....
HE THEN DROPS BACK AND TURNS......HEAD TO MY BUDDYS HOUSE AND FIND OUT MY CAR IS IDLING HIGH AND MY BOOST GAUGE DID WORK....next day found out that I blew off a vacuum line when I took off on him the first time.....damn better luck next time....

Nice times, what happened that last one? Got the launch?

I'll have to read the rest later :D

I still won but I didnt think that race was worth my buddys and my life....so I let off early coming into a turn...

jeez those ET's and trap speeds dont match up too well. Was the track not prepped well or something?

no...actually the track wasnt a track at all...its really an air strip just borrowed and set up for the race event.....heres what it looks like...this is last years event....im in there racing a silver 281 bolt-on stang im on the left side...I think its at 6:43min into the vid....http://youtube.com/watch?v=1ksVdswSodM

nice times, to bad that LS1 owner was a douche bag

thanks....most likely 13.1 is the best im going to squeeze out of her with out any more money getting dumped into her.....and yeah about 90% of the camaros and t/as I race are....but for some reason the mustangs drivers arent that bad....huh

Man...ya got some shitty ass drivers out there.

2000 T/A WS6 manual mods: intake, , headers, exhaust 15.103 1/4 @ 105.58

:eek7: was he missing a wheel? a bone stock 6-speed 2000 ws6 is good for 13's with a bad driver.

it sucks to be fast huh?

Hey let's be nice now, Musashi pulled off a 15.4 with a LS2...sorry musashi, I just haven't busted your balls in a while. :wink:

I have actually run across that too. It seems like most of the people I have run across with LS1 maros and birds seem a little anti-everything that is not their car. On the other hand, most of the Mustang owners I have run across seem pretty humble about their car. That is just from my experience of course. Nice runs though. :thumbsup:

:eek7: was he missing a wheel? a bone stock 6-speed 2000 ws6 is good for 13's with a bad driver.

oh hes deffinately a 13s car......you can tell simply by his trap....but like I said before tires work wonders.....and when your trying to launch on a gravel filled road your 13sec car will sometimes turn into a 15sec car.....if he had an auto he would have done alot better cause most of the auto ls1s that I have raced do....BTW have you tracked your car yet....

it sucks to be fast huh?

well if I was actually fast it might....but in reality Im only a high 13s car on the streets consistantly....my best street tire e.t was 13.5 @ 105 mph and my best overall e.t running 225/55/16 BFGs DRAG RADIALS I just happen to muster a 13.1 @ 106mph....at least I know what my car is capable of just not me....

Man...ya got some shitty ass drivers out there.

anyone with street tires out there became a shitty ass driver....you have to remember this isnt a actual track....but yeah we did have alot of amature drivers out there....

wow, even i didnt do that shitty first time I took my car out.

But then again there was no gravel :D

^^^^^damn we got an OG in the house...I want proof of this now or I call BS.....hahaha....j/p

your sartie is fast in my book bro.

wow, raz kaz...that guy hasnt been on here in a looong time. OG.

get traction 209, and you will be fine. who was it with the 400+ whp srt-4 that used to post in the street racing section?

dammit ernie u stole all of my thunder. i hella posted before you did and i get no love... and i beat the h22 civic as well... (SWEET) in anycase ya kingdon back in may was alot better than the previous year, i worked the event and we did what we could to prep the track i.e. dragged the first forty or so feet with slicks and then VHT'd the crap outta the first twenty and then misted probably thirty feet after that. and the timing system might have been off set at least the trap speed sensor so the times and traps are a little off.

o and the "HYPHIE" guy in the maro was an ass, hands down. but that was one hell of a race, i did what i could to try and keep up but by the time you guys had hit that bend in the road i was only doin maybe 70ish... HELL of a race though

thanks bro......its no GTO but hey you have to work with what you got....

I have a perfect solution for that............." RWD"........lol.....oh the 400+whp srt is rj-lo and primo-bro.....but I think they have differnt set ups now and pushing alot more power....nasty cars real nasty....

hahahaha.....read the date son....me post thread before you:smokin: .....

:eek7: was he missing a wheel? a bone stock 6-speed 2000 ws6 is good for 13's with a bad driver.

you know how someone comes to this forum and says they killed a 2003 mustang cobra in a low 15 second car or in a high 14 second car?

i tell you guys all they time, 1 slight mistake can turn your 13 second car into a 15 second car

anything can happen on the street

Good runs. The guy I sold my old WS6 runs his car around your track I believe. I believe he ran a 13.2 @ close 111mph on street tires. He has yet to run with dr's.

and that just goes to show not all cars and drivers are created equal....and just because a car is rated at a certain speed....does not mean it will always happen.....if you track race alot you will understand what im talking about....you will be suprised on the times alot of these cars hit....

hahaha, kiss my ass....i just turned 21 so no im not an OG.



but yea, it's surprising to see how bad people can drive a car they arent used to or just plain simple cannot drive.

OG to this forum son....and yeah we do have some bad drivers out there....but I also have seen very good drivers having trouble getting out of the hole.....

damn your trap speeds looks extremely consistent, and your E.T. is pretty consistent too for a FWD. I'd love to run you with my nsx but you live too far. =)

Lets do it Ill meet you half ways hahahaha j/p....actually if I could I would...whats your best times in the nsx and 240....yeah that day was actually a pretty good day for me....I was pretty consistant through out....my last two passes I tried something different....I lowered my drags to about 20psi and I tried launching a little lower a boom I hit a sweet spot....I lost MPH but I also drop my E.Ts....

i haven't ran the 240 with its new setup. but with the old setup i could not go faster than 99mph which was pretty embrassing. I haven't taken the nsx to the track yet because i'm at 90K with my original clutch. it cost $2K to change the clutch.

my guessimate is probrably mid 13's at 105-107mph +/-. that is what most memebers runs on the forums in the real world, not magazine numbers. magazine numbers they run 104ish stock. similar to your stock SRT. damn i just realise that doesn't sound good for my car at all. hahah ( no offense to your car 209 ) =)

I take no offense it is what it is a neon....but that just means you need to step your game up homie...BTW I always thought the nsx's were rated low 14s cars...

I take no offense it is what it is a neon....but that just means you need to step your game up homie...BTW I always thought the nsx's were rated low 14s cars...

only in the first years. i guess they didn't know how to drive cars. as the car got tested in later years with the same setup the e.t. dropped by half a second.

after driving a quick n/a car again, the feeling is totally different from driving a boosted car. power is very progressive, and you feel the pull in your gut. a boosted car, the power comes on hard, but kind of dies down up top. I prefer the n/a powerband more. Even though ultimately I know the boosted setup is much much fast, but if i can run 110mph in the 1/4 n/a i'll be happy.

damn 110mph n/a...your going to need some mods....

damn 110mph n/a...your going to need some mods....

alot of guys gets close with intake headers, and exhaust. some guys with freaks can hit 107mph with just a intake. and this is with the slower 3.0 liter ones like mine. the freaks for the 3.2 liter ones can hit 300whp n/a with just 3 bolt ons.

I don't think I own a freak but I already have headers on the way. I already took 100 lbs off the car and still retain everything that i need. I also plan to add another lighter flywheel and have a custom crank pulley made for me at my old job at Unorthodox racing. My currents mods are weight reduction, Intake, Intake fender scoop and exhaust.

Then I think 110mph in the quarter n/a is very possible. I shift slow but I only need to shift twice. 1st gear with my gearing can take me to 53 mph, 2nd takes me 89mph and 3rd takes me 125mph. so that really helps my crappy skills.

what the hell....you have an auto....that or really loooooonnnnnnnggggg gears....

hahah its a 5 speed. I blew by my friend on the highway in 2nd. He was doing 70mph and i just kept it in second and kept on pulling.

plus auto nsx's are dirt slow. It can only rev to 7K instead of 8250, the auto has a weaker cam profile for better low end tq to make up for the power robbing torque converter, and only makes 250hp. a strong stock 5 or 6 speeds puts that that much stock to the rear wheels.

damn....those are some long ass gears....

damn....those are some long ass gears....

yeah the car is definitly a highway runner. as the car gets faster, i can feel the car get sucked down to the ground by its aero. I have yet to redline 3rd gear yet on the highway, too much traffic or not brave enough lately. I only got her to 115mph in 3rd with more revs to go but not enough road.

what does that thing top at at....

vr4's gears are also really long like that too

what does that thing top at at....

My year the car can do 168mph. The newer headlights style can do 175mph stock.

Here is what a I/H/E 3.0 nsx can do. 1st 2nd gear pull

how much does your car weight...

Stock car weights 3010.

engine cover -15lbs
spare tire -22 lbs
air compressor and tool kit -4 lbs
lightweight exhaust -26 lbs
volkracing wheels -14 lbs total

current weight is 2929 lbs.

with headers it will be another -15 lbs.

You would think the car would be lighter from the factory. But compared to everything else in its class its 3500-3700 lbs. Only the RX-7 is lighter but the NSX's structure is rock solid, and everything is held together with like 50 screws, and its as wide as Supra.

NSX: not the fastest car in the world, but definately one of the nicest,cleanest, most beautiful machines ever made. I wanna low miles bone stock red '91 when I grow up and have money to burn :)

BTW what was that STI running? It looked like AWD was owning all at that track. LOL at the Ford GT. That thing looked like it was running 16s for sure.

Good times too. you in the 12's at a real track?

damn that car is lighter than I thought....weight reduction for the win...BTW how much did that car set you back and do you still have your 240...

those STis were in the 12s....and yeah that ford GT driver wasnt doing so well....I wish I was in 12s....best so far is a 13.1 on drags....but mainly a consistant 13.8-13.5 on street tires....FWD owns me....

<puts hand on 209's shoulder>

It's alright buddy. Low 13's are still fast.


....Just not as fast as 12's

^^^lol the truth does hurt doesnt it....but my goal is to run mid 12s on street tires....when I hit that Ill pretty much be a happy camper....

Isn't that extremely difficult with FWD and street tires? You're gonna need an extremely sticky track with a little downhill start. Do you take the spoiler off just for racing? Is it that heavy?

it is...but if your pushing a decent amount of power with skill full driving then 12s should be possible.....in that vid was last years event which I was experimenting on a few visual mods....but I pretty much desided to sell all the visual stuff and go for that stock look....and no the spoiler is actually pretty light....

well from what i've seen is that since you can't traction E.T. you need to trap speed E.T. your trap speed is very good, but you would need to be atleast 110-112mph to get into the high 12's with just pure power and no grip off the line.

^^^^exactly where im headed.....should be 110mph-116mph....

Yup whenever i look at time slips, I never look at E.T. Trapspeed is what i'm interested in. E.T. just shows how good of a driver you are, but trapspeed is what determines the true speed of a car.

^^^close to what I say.....my saying is "E.Ts will show you drivers potential, but traps will show you the cars potential"...I guess great minds think alike lol.....

Well, I guess that means you will keep "trapping like a mofo"

in this case my car is better than me....and I cant drive her to its potential...

Well, some advice to you. Get to the track as frequently as you can, if you can't do that...work on your launches in the midlle of the night in a deserted industrial area (and don't tell me are none, because I was just there on the 10th of this month off of the French Camp exit and witnessed two GT 'stangs doing some runs,lol) Because, fact of the matter is...once you get that car to 300 fwhp on that stock turbo, you will have an 11 sec 1/4 capable vehicle. Just up to you to extract the best driver out of yourself :-)

Stop kicking yourself. Leave that up to us.

Actually your times aren't too bad. Based on what I saw in that vidy, you kept it together better than most on that track.

actually I used to race at the track quite often.....and french camp huh....where are you from....oh and that 300whp wont be on stock turbo:evillol: but till then I will continue to be slow.....

easy for you to say mr. AWD....hahaha j/p.....thanks I guess it wasnt too bad:banghead:
