It all depends on an almost infinite amount of factors.

You can make generalizations, but they are only generaly correct at very best.

Generally, my conquest would whip anyone on here's car's ass.

Since I know not you or your setup, you just MIGHT be correct!


Then again, do you know mine?



Wait I don't even know mine YET............CRAP.....


That has ALWAYS been the poker playing game of racing......


Except if you have a big wing or a yellow and purple color combo, then you KNOW they are fast!

I'll doubt that. I will try you in my new $2500 beater when I figure out the shift linkage issue.

Re: GSX vs. T/A

I took a LT1 before in my old car with a slipping clutch. The random person flagging asked if I wanted a head a few lengths. I didn't need that...

Re: GSX vs. T/A

I have plenty of story's "racing" misc cars in your car. It pulls strong, Shifts unlike any other DSM I have driven. Could use a little bit of a stronger clutch IMO. Throw a FMIC on there and see what she can do. Have you shortened the shifter yet? Previous owner didn't mind the huge dildo shifter.

Re: GSX vs. T/A

These "recaps" should really be in the "other" part of the site But then I guess if you can't see that "other" part, you wouldn't know about it huh?

Re: GSX vs. T/A

You should literally blow the doors off the T/A with your GSX. You must be pretty stock though. Anytime I raced last year with my GSX I couldn't even run in the Street Eliminator class where the Trans Ams, Camaro's & Mustangs genearally run. I had to run in King of the Hill. I don't know where the cut off is, 12.99 or 12.50. I was dialed in at 12.00.

Re: GSX vs. T/A

Cool site! Nice to get at least a base to shoot for?

Hmmmm....

Looks like I could hope to be close to the 11 second club, if I get setup right and could ever learn how to drive right?

Don't know if that will ever happen as I'll have a vert, and I seriously doubt I'll ever be putting in a rollbar.

Re: GSX vs. T/A

hey brian, lets try to meet down on uni one night..I MIGHT be able to make you a bracket for the safc or something..I also know of places you can get it, so it's not just "thrown" or stuck to the dash, or something.

I usd to just wire the safc into the glove box and mount it in there as people wouldn't be able to see it and you can lock it between tunes. It didn't look too bad having the Safc and AVC-R mounted in there before.
