took out a kid at my shcool

LOL. yeah gotta have a catch can. and like i said you only need the helmet if you hit 13.99. and to get donations, you should do what one of my friends did back in highschool. you go around at lunch or any time when you can and just ask anyone and everyone for some change. he would get like 20 bucks in a week or so.

nice kill for the detroit muscle, why did you shift so soon the first time? thats probably why you didn't beat him as bad as you should have

[landyacht]

Save your money and hit the track, you'll be happy you did! I haven't done that with my own car, i should!

Gas isn't too bad there is it? I was on 'E' the other day and filled it at 88 cents a litre....cost me 83 bucks to fill the car. Considering i'm only getting about 16 miles to the gallon around the city, i'm probably worse off then you are jonnyboy!

[street_racer_00]

gahh....last night I paid $2.69 for chevron premium gas, it was crazy...put 5 bucks in and didn't even get 2 gallons out of it. California sucks!

[68chevelle]

im with him ^. cali sucks. a couple days ago i had to fill up. 43 dollars for 18 and a half gallons. on and i get like 12 miles to the gallon. i think somone need to get rid of the damn law saying no impoting of gasoling from other states and go over to AZ or navada and truck some gas over. i mean damn it too fricken expesive here. and i have to run 89 or higher cuz of my compression. even with 89 octane it runns a little runny on hot days.

See my motor's got 385 both hp and tq so thats probobaly why he is able to tail me and i shifted so soon cause i thought i had him and wanted to take it easy on the motor and for the last posts i also hate the gas prices i run medium grade but im thinking of going low grade and put up with the knocking melody that is going to be under my hood.

[68chevelle]

well you have aluminum heads right? you should be able to run low grade and not have to worry. if it does knock then just retard the timing a little and you should be fine. but if it does knock then dont just put up with it, you are talking about short shifting so you take it easy yet youll put up with knocking... umm yeah. i dont get that but whatever. knocking is no good.

Sorry to say but the eclipse was probably still slow...

your 14.3 wouldnt beat him

[civicHBsi91]

umm yea he raced an all motor eclipse with a smoll shot....he was lucky if he broke into the 14's at all

My 14.3 was done with a good 7+ year old tires and low bottle pressure.

maybe his car would be my car statistically, but put drivers behind it and see what would happen...

What kind of times should his car run stock? I know alot of old muscle makes alot of noise but half the time goes no where....

[TatII]

but the difference is you got a B18A in a old CRX so your making atleast 175 ( stock engine ) in a 2100 lb car. with your bolt ons and that shot of nitrous you should be making like 210 crank hp in a 2100lb car. that is a big difference from a eclipse which weights close to 3000lbs and coming with only 140hp. can't compare the two. your car without the nitrous should be faster then the GST's which have 220hp. so you have a 140hp car with bolts ons and a small 50shot of nitrous your still only goin to get around 220-230hp give or take. still no where near enough to get you in the 13's. or even the low 14's.

stock i would say his car probably ran 16's maybe, but thats just a guess. i honetly dont know what the used to run. but that 30 years ago. besides his car is not stock. he droped in a crate engine thats making 385HP. he may not be the best driver but that race would probably be pretty close.

[RACER D12]

Nova's are pretty light though right? I think Red said his is 2400lbs. So if thats the case he "could" be deep in 13s easy... if he can get traction. I mean when he raced the STI he said he stayed with it and then caught it and passed it later. So that would lead me to think hes in the mid to high 13s.

[flylwsi]

385 hp in that car will have it in the 13's, or 12's.
easily.

[209 neon]

the hatch and nova should race to find out if its the first lost by an import or another win for the nova
