Scotty Dont Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) Better tires and race better cars, we have a few super charged c6 vettes, supercharger lt1 260z, twin turbo vipers and a 600hp vr6 awd golf that run around this area that would be great races.

Corey Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 why would any of those be good races for him? AFAIK, isnt his car a N/A ls1? You just threw out a bunch of 170mph capable cars....like, huh? how is that in his league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komeuppance Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 LOL... so much haterade. I'll be the first to say: Good job John!! P.S. I put the hammer down tonight. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 u need better tires I lowered the car too much last night, threw the cambur all the way in on the rears, still rubbed too much, and traction suffered. I got 275 potenza's... Just got no weight in the rear. Better tires and race better cars, we have a few super charged c6 vettes, supercharger lt1 260z, twin turbo vipers and a 600hp vr6 awd golf that run around this area that would be great races. CTS-V makes 555hp and is supercharged....Not a slow car, the Shelby's not a slow car either, its just that mine is faster...lol There are cars with parachutes on the streets here, I can easily get my tail beat if i want to...lol.

Greeny Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Who races to Lose! Those cars are all known fast cars. Great kills!

Convette Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 So, went out tonight shopping, figured id hit the strip on the way home... Ran into a new m5. Exhaust,intake, prolly a tune.. 1st race, from a 2nd gear roll, spun again he pulled half a car...couldn't find third, over. Car was stupid fast.Next run, 2nd again, less wheel spin this time dead even, hit third, he got a little jump and slowly started to walk, top of third my bumper was at his rear tire... I lost to a car 16 times the price of mine..lol I need 100 more hp... Was pacing with a 2011 z06 vette...procharged,cam,exhaust..700 at the wheels.... Lol it wasnt worth either one of us wasting gas, or trying to get arrested...lol Its going to be a great summer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Sounds fun! Frumrolls are a true show of horsepower. Digs are for solid axle N/A cars with super low rear gears and small turbo AWD cars. You need 100 more hp like I need 100 more hp. Good stories for sure!

polarisman14 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I ran one on my Focus for a while...you need a LOT of exhaust gases to spool a turbo that far away from the manifold. It's tough to keep the temp high to aid the turbo in spooling but ceramic coating and heat wrapping the exhaust leading to the turbo and using a turbo blanket helps significantly, as does using a BB turbo. FWIW even if it doesn't make as much power as a traditional turbo system, it's something that would make your unique build even more unique and the exhaust note with these things is to die for. Not to mention the slower spooling makes it awesome for daily driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Yeah I'm not a huge fan of the rear mount setup. If I do anything, it'll be a procharger. I can get where I want with a tune and a cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convette Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm shooting for PF. The spring meet is out for me, too much going on. I'm still trying to work out the details... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Cam and tune is maybe 50hp? Excellent..... That'll put you right where I want you. In my rear view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Lol. The thing of it is, I could give a flying faq about drag racing... Its cool, don't get me wrong. The car is built to turn, not to just go sraight. Ill kill much more on a road / auto cross course than a red neck drag strip. Its not by any means crazy fast, but its a reliable 12 sec car.And I can def get more than 50hp out of a tune and a cam. Don't be so sure of yourself. Power to weight fool.

Technology Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I got ya. Add all the power you want, I still got ya. Racing in a straight line may be for rednecks, but where are you beating all these cars in your kill list? OHHHhhhh, that's right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
