CSR DOESNT EXIST SHHHHH loco

haha 300 people... now we just need a ranking system and no dumbass looptards!!!

i think the 72 SS would be the king, or maybe even LSttype (uber low 10's maybe 9's this season)

justcuz i kno lane-change has nothing on them right now...

I love when i post changes and we all learn about what cars people in our area drive. I wouldnt have a shot in hell at most of the cars listed. But it would be fun just to give it a try just for the rush.

Guy in GTP is an Idiot. There is NO need at all to keep GP in neutral during the launches, car has enough low end torque to spin tires without it. GTP had traction control system, so either that fool turned it down or his car's electronics is messed up. GTP has 280 lb-ft of torgue...

It is true that there isn't a great need to launch with higher RPMs, especially from a neutral drop, but powerbraking can help, you just have to do it intelligently. Even a GT can spin the tires from a launch, but a proper powerbrake from either wont spin the tires but will get you a better launch than just mashing the gas pedal. Even if the guy in the GP had a N/A GT, he shoulda been able to keep up (and probably win) if he weren't an idiot and had even a decent launch. He may have still had TC on, you can spin the tires with it on, but the TC will stop it pretty quick.

nikita, you have any mods on your car? Just curious since i have pretty much the same car, and wondered what those of us with lowly GT's do.

im a little late on this one... but the reason they dont have a manual v6 is because they couldnt figure out a way to make it fit. it wasnt possible, i believe there is a swap available now, but it is probably expensive, and knowing dsm's its probably not very reliable.

Hey
Why do you get the credit?
cant we share it?
Afterall Wingmen was the first crew to get organized thanks to automotiveforums.
Drifty and Musashi first met eachother here then they met in person and the crew was formed which now consists of Musashi, Drifty, Gotian, Drifty's Girl and me!

We are automotiveforum's #1 crew

Gotian and Musashi have even started Autocrossing under the Wingmen club name and they are planning on getting automotiveforums decals for when they compete, in show of appreciation to this site.

well it is alittle different then you guys because we were friends for 8 years so that was waaay before AF and half of them don't even go on AF. but yeah you guys are the first to become a crew from AF. the only person that i've met on AF that i see on a regular basis is Turbo2nr.

My GP is bone stock with 76k miles...only mod is a bra.

Yah well...me and Red are a team!
