Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Well, my car should be running by this weekend. Swifty, head to Tristate with us on the 12th. We'll teach some muscle car guys what's up!

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Damn! I am going to the shootout though. And, as of yet, my car isn't tuned. But, once i get the oil filter situation figured out, the tuning will shortly follow, assuming there are no more stupid things that pop up.

Bah, 93 octane is for suckers when you can have some tasty 100 octane unleaded for a buck more. That's the only "pump" I run.

BTW, 422 awhp with a failing fuel pump. :D

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

535.5awhp on 93 octane, 500ish at the track.
Well my shifter cables will be the death of me. I am wasting .2 tenths of a second grabbing 3rd (.2 1-2 shifts always, .4-1.0 3rd gear shifts) and best pass was a 11.540@131.56 with a 1.849 60' I gained 38.3mph on that pass between the 1/8 and the 1/4...and it still took 1.5 seconds according to the aem log to respool ;).
I raced chris as well, 11.846@125.47 I had him the entire way..I think he lifted around the 1000'.
I need to do 2 things.
1)Get my nitrous hooked up to keep the intercoolers cold, I was running 27.5-28psi MAX, 28 against carey.
2)Get in gear. I am wasting precious time not in gear. The difference between total time in/out of gear between my 11.5 and my 11.8 pass? .1 seconds. This isn't factory the fact that I am dropping down to 7psi in 3rd due to the long/shitty shift.
I need to get the new shifter cables in and the nitrous to cool down the intake temps, then she'll be flying.
Oh, and ask anyone at the track, I was spinning the first 100' easy.

Maybe one of your next mods should be slicks.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

I hopped into Chris's car for a few runs so see if i could shift it any better. And yes I did but I botched the launch and still made it to a 12.xx@131.9. the car never made it into the 11's today. We have a few minor issues to work out with it in the next few days and we are planning on having it out this weekend if all goes well.

Naw, I love laying patches for 100+'.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

If jake montgomery can run 10's on street tires and heavy ass wheels, then swanny can do it with street tires and light wheels.

kevin, are you not going to the shootout then?

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

So shane remains the King of style...

Great runs guys, 11s are a great start.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

I make 172hp on a DD dyno on 92 octane, what can i play with?
IMO both Chris's and Josh's cars are awesome, but Josh's car has everything a reg. 3/S would have, but a cage and a racing seat w/harness.
Chris's car has 2 seats, and a gauge cluster, you can see into the car from the engine bay. Both cars are sweet, but i think it is easy which one is a street car and which one is a "race" car. This is my Opinion, so don't hate.
Also both cars rip like crazy!! Would definitely been a close/good race if the track was good and both cars could clear up their issues.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

As for times, let's not forget vassil, and his 10 sec pass, or kevin, and his recent 10 second pass. Until either of these two hit a 10, They are still slower then the above mentioned on this board.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Yeah I'll be bringing my car to the shootout. My bad. Some otherday?

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

speaking of street cars, that rich kid needs to get his poopra out for these freeway throwdowns.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

nevermind the 1000lb weight difference

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Its been shown numerous times on this board and many others that you can make all the power you want and have dreams and predictions of running good times. But putting it all together at the track is a different story. Unless you are running and auto its totally up in the air what you are going to run or if you are even make one clean pass.

Especially with DSMs, you can make 700whp and think "man there is no way I won't run a 10", then you get to the track and run 12s all day and wonder what the fuck went wrong.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Even if ET isn't there, MPH should be... no excuses behind that.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

You can play with me :) Winner buys next week's Applebees?

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Crazy, my car has a better time than either of them also! I ran a 11.53@123 last year. I am sure that will change soon though. What is Carey's best time?
