Sweet

If thats not another example of AWD superiority (on the street), I don't know what is. Almost gives me enough motivation to go out in the sub zero temps and work on the car... Almost.

HAHA... Time for a heater! All last week it was between 0 and -10. Cold as hell but atleast my shop was 70.

That video is cool... I just want my spyder done now. Time to build the block~

The guy with the Talon posts on NABR.

Here is the story behind it:

"I thought you all might enjoy a racing video.

Background: A joke started about a week ago from a comment made on a local board by someone that DSM's were 'king of the streets' because with how cold the weather is nothing can beat them. Apparently this didn't go down too well with a couple local racers who actually want to be the king of the streets.

I could have cared less about king of anything, but somehow I got dragged into the whole ordeal because I have a pretty quick street car. There were a couple people who were saying I would race anything they could put up... without me even knowing about it. I didn't see most of this footage until now. I thought it was just a simple race, but apparently it was so much more to other people.

I got lined up in a $100 race against a 700+ HP Supra. I don't race for money, so the bet was between a local dsm supporter and a guy who calls himself "CobramanofUtah". I guess from hearing what other people have told me, he was pretty pissed about dsm's thinking they were in any way better than Ford/Supra's... I dunno.

I was running street tires and 91 octane gas. The supra is on race fuel and slicks. I believe he is running a T88H. Whatever it is, it sounds like a jet instead of a car. On the way to the race I did a practice run and slipped off a new alternator/waterpump belt and you can see the comments when they thought I wasn't going to show up.

Enjoy!"

And then the rematch...

"This time I came out on race fuel, open exhaust, and my headlight out. It was much warmer this time and just about dusk. Just some fun racing, thought I'd share. More of just racing this time. Not because I give a shit what charcoal sausage thinks, but because there was alot less shitttalking going on this time around.

First pass was a clean run, second pass I had a hard time with 2nd gear. I feel really bad because I told those guys that spot was recently repaved, so it was a little rocky for my taste, but the supra ended up getting a rock to the windshield which put a nice crack in it. Later that night we found his intake filter also broke a chunk of plastic/rubber off it that went through his T51R-Kai, taking off a couple of the fins...

Bad night for the supra... but a good sport none the less."

and this is what the supra people think about it http://www.supraforums.com/forum/sho...hreadid=254088

Do you guys think the supra could have taken him from a roll? God man that video makes me wanna go AWD and sell my stupid FWD....It just looks like it was a piece of cake to get traction on the ground for the dsm awd...

Urban_Squrill · #7 01-21-2005, 01:01 PM

GOd dam, that is so cool, I want a AWD, how much did that guy sink into his car?

I do have a 80,000 BTU kerosene heater. But because the ceilings in my garage are so high (~12 feet), and its big enough for 2 UPS trucks, it takes a lot of fuel to heat the place. The top 6 feet gets warmed up, while the bottom 6 feet gets all the fumes

Klene-heat works, but its expensive. I hate DSMs, epsecially in the winter.

Thats what i thought also, but hey i can do an awd swap

. Maybe ill buy jakes AWD spyder when he gets bored with it. lol Man that talon was awesome.

GotGrip666 · #10 01-21-2005, 01:27 PM

its not working for me

kjewer1 · #11 01-21-2005, 02:36 PM

You need Quicktime to play them, FYI. (.mov)

wuman82 · #12 01-21-2005, 03:38 PM

Man nice videos. Its things like this that makes me want a turbo DSM realllllllll bad!!! Our cars are just so badass. I promised myself that I'm one day going to own a turbo AWD DSM.

By the way, I realy don't like guys like "CobramanofUtah" , I just don't like cocky people like that, thinking they are the shit and everything must go through them and they know everything. Ford Racing #1, WTF is that??? People like that really just need to grow up.

Legionofone · #13 01-21-2005, 07:47 PM

ya that supra got some whorid launches... seemed like he was REALY slow in the beginning and well u couldent see him in the end... god that was a nice TSi

joemathews · #14 01-21-2005, 09:52 PM

Anyone have a mod list for that talon? In the Tuners thread it said it was a low 11 second car (just like Kevin's

).

I'd be interested to see what turbo, fmic, and tuning setup the dude is running though....

>>Edit: just listened to it with audio and heard the stutterbox

You made yourself sound just like that guy. Saying, "our cars are just so badass". Obviously a guy is going to like his "brand" of car over another brand. That guy should just feel that much better that he beat him. Everyone can be cocky at one time or another. Thats life.
