Anyone with a good kill lately? I absolutely destroyed a geeser the other day, but to be fair it is only a honda. It was a red light drag and i knew i hadhim by the end of first gear. The guy followed me to a gas station( i actually only needed to fill gas) and he said all he had was intake, exhuast, andsafcand didn't expect to beat a turbo eclipse. He kinda lookedsurprised when i told him i wasn't turbo....yet. He said he's probably pushing 170hp to the wheels, and i'm probably only doingan optimistic160hp.But since teggy's only have like 12lbs of torque you can't expect much in a drag.</P>


Anyone else have a good story?</P>

 

few weeks ago, '94 mustang 5.0 got smoked by non other than me. he pulls up and revs a few times, says, hey follow me! so I do, he decides to take off at about 30mph, I drop to 2nd and by the time I hit 90 he is a full car length behind me. and he started off one in front, cause he was leading the way.. </P>


also, 2days ago, I was driving my friends VR-4 down the interstate. pulled next to a M3 and waved.. "hey nice car" he punches it and is ahead for about 3 seconds before I blow by him. 130 through traffic is a rush!!! </P>

 

You're friend let you drive his VR4? Wish he was my friend too....<IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0"></P>

 

i smoked a tempo last night............hmm....thats about it since the cobra ate me up about a month ago.....but ima going out 2night looking for some victumzz so il keep u posted

 

A cobra? You must have some ***** if you're gonna take on one of those<IMG src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0">. But relax, maybe you could take outa v6 muskrat.</P>

 

yeah, good friend. I had to let him drive my GSX though, he has nothing done to his car.</P>

That must have sucked, What were you going up against?</P>


I have a new story, earlier today i was coming home from work and the road i take is a long, flat, 4 lane highway type thing. I usually drive in the fast lane going about 70 because i have about 7 miles to go. There's this fordprobe in the right lane going about the speed limit and i pass him up thinking nothing about it. A few seconds later he blasts past me going about 85mph i'm guessing.I wouldn't normally go after him until i saw his passenger window was down and the guy in the passenger seat had his hand uppointing down atthe car like "this is where it's at". Well, i can't let some fwd domestic ruin the dsm name...so i drop it in fourth and floor it. Then i'm like "i'm not going fast enough" and drop it in third at 80.As I downshifted,I bounced off the rev limiter. Not good times. Lost a bit of accelration because of that, but after upshifting to fourth i caught up to him in no time. I was going about 110mph and feeling the mis-balance of my left rear wheel. The rear-end was shaking so bad, i could swear i have internal bleeding now. I stayed right behind the probe(turns out it was a gt) until about 125mph. The he let off the throttle and i switched lanes to get right next to him. The guy in the passenger seat looks over at me and waves. I waved back and speed back up to 70 and got back in the fastlane. Not too eventful, But i think that's the fastest my car has gone in a long time. I don't think i'll be highway racing for a while, since now the rear wheel mis-balance is more pronounced at lower speeds. </P>

 

haha...good story spyder....im srry but im not into the whole ford "sportscar?" thing...i cant stand them dam things..my buddy has a probe gt and....it sets at the local garage more than he drives it. everything seems to go wrong with them cars. i know other people that has the same opinion. yeah didnt really kno if i should have wrote the whole tempo thing because thats nothing to brag about. I am looking into buying a 1998 camero though, as of right now. it has the LT1 corvette engine in it. that way ill have something for that cobra and any other american muscle cars on these local streets. take care!!! l8er

 

ohh yeah...no good kills this weekend......maybe next weekend...i supposed to be going against the local rich boi in his acura rsx..wish me luck

 

Yeah, Probes are over-rated IMO. I guess Mazda didn't care what they made after the 3g rx7 and just threw the mx6/probe out for Ford to be happy. Aww man, a camaro....they are fast. I thought the 98's came with the LS1's? Or actually when did they switch body styles(indent headlight to "normal" type)? There's something about camaro's i don't like though, I would prefer the TransAm even though they're the same car. Have you read about that guy that*only*ported the heads on his LS1 camaro and ran low 12's? That makes me wonder sometimes about why i'm tuning my little 4 banger. Then i realize that it doesn't take me a 1/4 tank of gas to do a burnout<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">.</P>


Keep us posted and i definitely wanna hear how that race turned out. The plain rsx runs about the same 1/4 as an eclipse non-turbo, so it should be a good race. If you have any good base mods then you should be able to take him. But show the spoiled brat that he should run his car and not his mouth.(Like i can talk, my first car was a 97 talon and that was back in the day!)</P>
