With your numbers, you should try to take on a stock GTI 1.8T. They are 14.6-15.2 stock. That should be a drivers race

Finally a good response! That does sound like a good race! I work w/ a kid that has a 1.8T VW but he wont race

14.7 an u think ur rollin like a god? bring ur car up to washington, an we'll show u how "quick u are." my frien in his ls/vtec h/b would love to run ur "fast cougar." first off...s2000=blow ur doors off. its a low 14's, high 13's car, so ur not even worth its time. u have a video to back urself up? big deal...i'll show u a geo metro whoopin the shit outta a supra...a video's a video, NOT IMPRESSIVE. u run 15.0 most of the time? big whoop...i'll run that with SIMPLE bolts an no backseat. run some imports that actually have something on them...beating a civic isn't impressive AT ALL. im not saying my car is fast by any means, but im not posting wut a "challenge" would be...go out, run some integras or try the new SRT-4's an have fun lookin at their tail lights.

No, im running around 14.7 on a good day w/ good hookup, probably could run 15.0 flat all day long.!! Thats without nitrous. Probably near 14.0 flat w/ nitrous! Ill be taking her to the track this summer! But....hopefully the turbo kit will be on by then.

S2000....blah...easy! Havnt seen a good driver race one. Maybe if the driver was good it would be real close!

I hope your buddy w/ the fastest import is running under 10's, theres alot out there that are boosted!

The guy that suggested you run an Integra Type R suggested a good challenge for you...make sure you spray. Quite a few of them have broken into the 13's with just bolt-ons...NO forced-induction. With that in mind, S2000s are FASTER than the ITRs.

Ask these guys for a race...I'm sure one of them lives by you. You can also ask them about their various Mustang GT kills. One of these races were between a stock S2000 and a mildly-modified 99GT (incidentally, this is also the GT owner's screenname in there). The GT owner himself said he lost. They're pretty cool guys so PLEASE don't go in there flaming, considering I linked you there.

EDIT: They have a video of the GT VS S2000 race, I believe...I know I've seen one such race there.

What were you in?

But yea, I agree. A STOCK or lightly modded Z28 would probably be a nice challenge.

My cousin owns a 2000 GS-R with the same mods as you except for the v-tech controller. Ive beat him time after time!! Who said running high 14's was impressive....i didnt, so dont put words in my mouth. Oh my best time was 14.47, but that was one hell of a lucky run and havnt been able to do it again so i dont post it often. Also asked for a good challenge BECAUSE people always make fun of me for picking on smaller cars, that has nothing to do with me thinking im all that.

You say you're from Ohio? Come up to Cleveland and hunt down a certain Prelude I saw running around. (Yep, I think I spotted you on I-480, flywsi) He's stout.

Almost as stout as my baby, Layla. She may be laid up now, but once the bottom end is back in her, lookout. 1400lbs and 170bhp at the rear wheels will destroy any non-V8 Cougar.

HMMM, NICE car you own!!!!!!!!! Ill race you in my 1961 MGA 1600 roadster that has a 1800cc engine swap w/ a high flow dohc aluminum intake! I LOVE MG's man, good choice of cars!!

[Layla's Keeper]

No kidding? Stellar choice, man! I'm jealous, though. You probably can't see the ground through your floorboards. But hey, Layla was $450 out the door. I figure a Stage II rebuild kit from The Proper MG, hardened valve seats for unleaded gas, electronic ignition, copper slimline gaskets, a full rebuild for my Weber, and a hotter cam should take me up to 180-200hp. I know I can get 240hp once I go to dual Webers and a port job.

But I've seen some good prices on Rover V-8's as well. :angel:

[CougarSVT]

Heck yeah! The main point in me swapping was dependability. That is putting in MSD ignition, coil, distributor etc.....Im a little at loss on the transmission though. Can i really use the MGB tranny with the 1800, can i get a better stronger tranny(aftermarket)? Do you still have probs with timing on the MGB GT? Oops this is way of subject, sorry!!

[Layla's Keeper]

The best Morris Garages tranny I've encountered is the one in my B. The four-speed, non-overdrive box with straight cut gears. Totally bullet proof, though you might want a stronger synchro on 2nd to 3rd. I'm not sure if you can mount them in an A, but I've seen people work them into Midget/Sprites.

Of course, I've seen Midget/Sprites with Mazda RX-7 gearboxes and 13B rotaries, too.

As for timing, she's solid with stock ignition right now. Though as often as she fouls plugs it's hard to tell (the Weber is still dumping raw fuel into the cylinders ). My plan for electronic ignition centers around getting more efficient spark to burn the whole lot of fuel and air that a Weber, or two, pumps into the cylinders.

SVT, you go to Mid-Ohio or Nelsons Ledges at anytime?

[CougarSVT]

Ive never gone to mid Ohio but have heard alot about it. Kilcare is the closest to where i live though. When the turbo is put on thats the place that ill will go to!

[EJ20]

race a wrx from 0-30. :smoker:

[CougarSVT]

My cars the fastest when going through the 0-60! Its after that is really when i should be using the nitrous!
