Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

That makes sense now :) If you would have explained it I would have understood as opposed to the other guy. The first posts made it seem as if you were at the track the last time making the 500.

And about me going up to the twin cities... I like to run at the track. Easier to see which car is faster and its legal. Id be happy to bring my crappy car back to the track... after all Hondas that trap at 125 can beat it :rolleyes:

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

And hey now, I dont need to be an idiot to find it strange.... no one ever posted the correct information on your latest runs apparently and the info that was posted made it seem much differently.

Obviously your car will run quicker, I never doubted it. Just as most every guy like us... the cars will always have problems :)

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Yeah thats what I changed that post, I am a bit cranky this morning, I went back and re-read my posts and saw how you got confused, your not an idiot.
On pump gas its manageable at the track, just had clutch issues. On race gas the tires it is on are useless and it is nearly slower because of that.
In the end i need proper tires to contain the power at the line/first 400ish feet. I also need to fix a clutch dragging issue (think its a combo of slave cylinder and shifter cable issues) so I can get gears.
Add some more boost and we are golden :). Well good enough for these smaller turbo's, I'd like to run larger next year.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Dont feel bad about more power and the same times... My pos ran an 11.10 @ 129 with 26psi and at 30psi I ran an 11.19 @ 127. I had damned problems with the EMS and ignition. Like I said before, I think everyone here has some sort of problem holding them back... it never ends.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Well, as far as I can tell, no one has beat my time of 7.39 seconds at 249mph.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

and you can legally drive this car on the street right? ha

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Swanny Swanny Swanny, come on now. Take that from roll highway bullshit to TCStangs, we all know that isn't real racing. That is like saying "My car makes a ton of power but I can't drive and the car doesn't hook so this is the only way I can make myself feel better about dumping tons of time and money into a car that isn't living up to my expectations".

Judging from your traps I would guess the car was making around 550whp at the track. Even with the weight if it was making 680whp it would have been in the 140 range spinning or no spinning.

Maybe there is a flaw in the tuning somewhere, in a controlled environment your AITs will remain relatively constant unless you are doing pull after pull. You take that same tune out where it is 30 degrees hotter and unless you have it calibrated perfectly to compensate for that you could be way down on power.

I remember Jet battling the AIT issue a lot in the past, we would street tune the car during the day, then go out at night and it would run like ass since the temp dropped a lot. It took awhile to get that figured out. Maybe thats not your problem but something is not right there if you are 100whp down on power when you are at the track.

I guess when you run the nitrous you will see if heatsoak is your problem. And by the way, all the spinning your doing is saving your car, but I am sure you knew that.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Who cares?

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Agreed. Post the slips already or stop talking excuses.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Obviously the ones who care about having the bigger epeen.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

^ Thats Hot! ^

On an other note...I just wanted to say that was hot....

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Nice.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

I also take the cake on that.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Your car goes mid 11's @ 130. Congradulations. I hope you get your car going the way you want it because mid 11's with an AWD 700WHP car sucks ass.

BTW, last weekend the Camaro went 8.80's @ 158mph using only one of the nitrous kits. It has license plates, 10" tires and gets street driven. That's how we do it in Texas.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

HAH, get 'er done! Fucking awesome....

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Nicely done Outlaw1!!! That engine is bling!

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Wow the fucking peanut gallery on this board is pathetic. I've had my fucking car to the track twice. It will run fast, anyone that actually knows me on this board realizes that we are just working out bugs. Instead of bitching about how some of the fastest cars are running 11's with major issues, get your asses to the track and run your fucking cars.
Oh and btw..
Outlaw=Great job ;). I know how texas rolls, I have a friend with a *gasp* 11 second vr4 that constantly gets paid from "8 second" domestics down there.

I have a question for all the neysayers. Who was up there on wednesday? IMHO, it was the worst track day I have ever seen regarding prep. They even announced that they don't prep on wednesdays, and if I recalled it rained the day before. I have hooked 100x better on rockfalls sport compact days. Everything up there that should have layed down traction for me was using my fucking groove.
Hell chris cut a best of a 1.6, but I think he only cut one of those...Chris I saw you cut a 1.87 against me with your slicks, what was your average? I would expect 1.5 or low 1.6 60's all day on those tires w/that light of a car.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Swanny you can't post anymore before 10am, your not a morning person are you?;)

For all you people that are getting all pissed off:

Step 1) Wash sand from vagina
Step 2) Rinse and repeat as needed

This internet shit is serious fucking buisness.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Hell no I am not a morning person, but my opinion will still stand this afternoon.
Quit yer bitching and get to the track ;).
Damm right it's serious fucking business, it's the internet!
Side note, the fact that it is 90.1 degrees and rising in my office at 10am with it being 92 degrees in the shop doesn't help my attitude for today.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Wow. This is a great thread.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

In my opinion this thread has failed to deliver.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

That is like comparing apples to steak. Let me guess the Camaro's set-up.

Powerglide w/trans-brake, 4 link rear suspension or maybe ladderbars, 90/10 shocks, Ford 9" with 4.56s, 26" DOT wrinklewalls, and a serious stall converter.

Swanny is running a stock 5sp, stock gear ratio's, stock rearend, low profile radial tires, and exept for the coilovers they are on stock suspension.


8 secinds is fast no matter what your driving but pretty much any domestic can break 10s with slicks, high stall, and the proper aftermarket suspension set-up.


That pic does look purty though ;)

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Wrong.
I have 245mm wide all season tires, coil overs and adjustable camber/toe/caster, 100%oem drivetrain minus clutch, flywheel and front diff.
oh, they are a 45 aspect ratio tall sidewall as well ;).

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

The usual internet keyboard cowboys. :rolleyes: I'll back Swanny up on this one, xyz mods list or even dyno charts does not equal xyz timeslips. These cars are hard to tune and drive consistently at the track, and unless you have nothing better to do than be at the track every weekend, you're not going to see a 10-second pass out of a 10-second car right away. I've had a low 11-second car for six years, yet due to one thing or another, I've barely got out of the 12's. And I'd rather make my car nice while doing it than slapping some big turbo on a $500 piece of shit just for the sake of getting a nice timeslip. It takes a lot of money and time, and having the two never comes at the same time.

For those that think they can all do better because they've read about someone else doing it, get out and do it yourself instead of telling someone what their car *should* do.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Well put steve. Until people are waving timeslips, I'd say an 11 is quite an accomplishment. Woulda, coulda, but didn't. People should start turning that last word into DID.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

I honestly am pretty blown away with an 11.5, I've never been in a car that fast, so it's a whole new frontier for me when i get in something with more than 400 hp.

As far as AWD goes, I was sad because i'd never experienced an AWD launcho before untill I remembered doing a burnout in a porsche 996TT at morries in the detail bay. lol. I got yelled at, but only by a minion, so it was all cool.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Fucking AMEN.
Oh and I am still trying for 10's this weekend though, we'll see what happens to prevent that.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Best of luck man.

Can I come?

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Can it turn though?? I'm not using it as an excuse to defend swanny's car, as he , and many others, already have, but I am just wondering, would you feel comfortable taking corners at speed in that thing? Comparing a car with a purpose built drag suspension to a car with a suspension more suited for road racing isn't really fair. I would be curious to see what that camaro would do on some 245 width low profile all season tires, and no purpose drag suspension, since we want to be comparing apples to apples.

Again, to clarify, not hating on the camaro, or swinging from josh's nuts, but apples to apples, please.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

^^ hey you, dont be that guy.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Steve got this one dead-on.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Not trying to single anybody out. But enough of the cattle prodding. Post something worth while or don't post at all.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Otherwise I'll get more people reporting the post due to everyone knowing everything about everything and it does nothing but clutter up my e-mail! :D

Swanny's car is nuts! Vassil and EvilEvo are currently proven faster already and consistant from what I hear. Shane's got the top number. And overall these fast cars just get ripped on for trying new stuff and posting up how they are doing. Personally if people keep bitching then all the fast cars will keep shit to themselves and we wouldn't have all sorts of combos tested out. I have people bitching who have never made a pass at the track. Shut the fuck up please :) Rant off.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

I guess I can't remember if anyone said this yet, but shouldn't this be moved to next winter?

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

I thought I was the only one who can make redneck comments? ;)

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

^I mentioned vassil earlier, with kevin b. also mentioned.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Hold the fuck on there. I didn't compare anything to anyone. This thread did not have anything to do with autocross until someone made it into a Camaro bash fest. I don't believe the car in the other lane was setup to autocross but nobody mentioned that. Let's revisit where this crap started. The title of this thread lead me to believe it was going to be about the fastest street car on this board. I honestly thought someone had ran faster than ecoli's car. It turned out to be about some mid eleven second passes. That is not the fastest street car, that is weaksauce.

I wonder why nobody mentioned anything about that statement... Let me explain where I was coming from, I wasn't complaining about a damn thing. Someone just needed to tell you to STFU already. I was in no way asking you to race. Your posts were full of excuse after excuse like a damn broken record. When you got offended by my STFU statement you decided it would be cool to tell me to "see my 'mid 11 second car' on the highway". You just happened to call out a "steak" instead of an "apple".

Like I said earlier, I hope you get your car where you want it to be and I also hope it goes around in circles like it's riding on rails and whatever goals you set it up for.

Re: Fastest Street Car On Style
 

Somebody lock this thread. It turning into a bloody bashing thread instead of what it is intended to do. If I wanted to listen to this shit I would of still be part of some of those lame ass Honda sites. We all know who has some of the fastest street cars and most of us are trying to catch up with them. Who cares if you have a Honda, Chevy, Geo, Suzuki, DSM, Ford or some other car. If it is fast it is fast. Some of you guys are beginning to sound like bunch women wining. If you have a slow ass car and be like a man and admit it. If you don't even have a car and have something to say than just state the facts. Stop this cyber racing shit. I know most of the guys who is on this web site that can back their cars up and I for sure am not going to prove them wrong. Well someday when my car gets up and running but till than we all know who has the fasted car on this site. If you believe you are faster put a time slip up and prove yourself if not shut the f up. Man I justed wasted 2 min of my time writing this shit. Like I say shut up and lets race.
