blown 4cyl takes blown 8cyl

You're right, you can say whatever you want, ain't a damn thing anyone can do about it. You can post about your abilities, your mods, your prowess behind the wheel. Your boys can vouch for you all they want. Still doesn't mean that it feasible...

Maybe it is, just not in my experience...

depending on the altitude his time was at, I do believe he has the trap speed to beat an sc'd s281 from a roll, and maybe with a good launch and some error by the mustang guy

[carrrnuttt]

Let's put this in perspective.

FWD cars usually trap at speeds where, if it was a RWD car, it'd be running a second faster. Hence, a 12 second Camaro will trap around the hundreds while an Integra with the same trap will only be in the thirteens. Just like the man said, if he had slicks, he'd probably be in the 12's or so.

Also, FWD cars usually have the advantage in rolling starts, since it doesn't have to worry about balancing between bogging the engine or spinning the rear at speed(scary).

My point: He might/might not be lying...but he does have something to go on.

you dont have to believe me it doesnt really matter to me i know what happend and so do my witnesses. the only reason i posted this thread was because i saw it sayed beat a mustang? so i wanted to say my racing experience with a mustang you may think i am one of those people who gets online and starts shooting off all this bullshit like i have a civic with30psi and nos that runs 9.2@140. im not personally i hate those people. I just wanted to give inspiration to fellow 4 cyl that you win against the odds. any way if it may float your boat when i raced the saleen w/ nos we both had detonation problems maybe his were worse than mine. Plus by know means i mean to sound cocky by saying this but i know i am a very good driver (in a straight line) hehe i know about feathering double clutching, powershifting and shifting in my power band. maybe the should have destroyed me and i just out drove him maybe not. this brings me to quote one of the most un realistic movies i have ever seen and i quote "It doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning" not to say i have any thing against mustangs personally i have more fun driving them because their torque and it is fun to slam 2nd and kick the ass end out. so pretty much if you dont believe me i dont care but i know what happened and no niether were v-6's my moms mini van could pull those sorry excuse for a car. well any ways have fun telling me i am full of shit and to those who read it for what it is and congradualate me "this is for my boys in da drop top":smoker2:

I don't know what you raced, but it most likely was a Saleen...Rather it was supercharged or not is left to be disputed, probably not SC'ed though only because you said you missed a shift and were still able to catch and pass him. If you hadn't missed a shift though, it would still have been a close race, like I said they have horrible curves and are beatable cars, usually running right about a 13.4 My friend has smoked a SC'ed Saleen in his Ws6 with exhaust with me as the passenger. Good kill either way though.

Obviously, you dont know as much as you think if your double clutching in a race. And how are you double cluching and power shifting at the same time?

He just said he knew about them...he never he said he did them at the same time.

Is it your internet life goal to try to tell me everything i say is b/s sorry i have better things to do thatn to sit here and argue with you. By the way double clutching can help you win a race

Only if everyone else's experience has made us conclude that it's BS, some have stated that it may be possible. I state that it probably is the truth, but it's stretched a little thin...

I believe your story...Just curious, how can double clutching help you win a race??

Fast and Furious says it does, so it does, especially when drag racing on the street.

Double clutching would just slow you down, its an extra wasted movement.

And all this time I though double clutching would just cost time. Damn, I forgot if its in a move, on tv or on the internet it must be true.

I have raced a car before to 140mph, we were dead even, but when i double cluched i pulled him a half a car. If you dont believe this i have it on tape so tell me how to convert it to the internet and i will show you how double cluthing helps.

STOP please...You may very well have a tape of you using some sort of technique that helped you win a race at 140mph, but that technique WAS MOST CERTAINLY NOT DOUBLE-CLUTCHING!!...Let me quote my other post here for you about what double clutching is...Then you will hopefully understand that you did not do it...

Actually, double-clutching is the proper technique you use to downshift the car at speed...Example...
You're in fourth gear and want to downshift into second gear. You press the clutch in and shift into neutral, at which point you let off of the clutch. You then use the accelerator to bring the engine speed up to where it needs to be for the lower gear. The clutch is then reengaged and you shift into the lower gear. What this does is reduce excessive wear on the transmissions synchronizers and also allows you to downshift without the car "jumping" like I'm sure most of you are used to.

See there, THAT is what double clutching is...There is no way it would help you win anything except a durability contest.
