Official 2005 Challenge Thread

TheBlizzard · 01-27-2005

Here is a special thread for all of you that want to call somebody out next year. Think your cars fast? Think somebody elses car is a POS, this is the place to post it.

This should take care of some of the off topic posting in the other threads.

I'll take them both on! Ask CopperGST (Curtis) what happened when I raced him!

I hope the track isn't more than 71.7 miles away!

I know what happened when you raced me (16PSI Launch) But after I got traction (with my wonderful Kumho Ecsta supra 712's) you didn't really pull too much. I'm down to race you again this year!! A rematch is in order. And just because it's AWD doesn't mean that it will be faster. I'm working with what I have and trying something different. So we'll see exactly how it goes. All that I know is that Jet's gonna get a rematch that will be a bit closer than last time.

Hey Curtis! The only reason you thought I wasn't pulling away any more was because I was slowing down already once you got traction.

I am definately up for a rematch with you. There won't be an 8200 rpm launch this time though.

I will let you know when I am ready jet. All I have to do is sand my block and I will be ready to put the stuff back together. BTW, the copper GST will be slower than the awd. How many miles or should I say passes or pulls were on your car before the problem?

I had 300 miles and 4 dyno pulls on my car before it was eaten by a computer glitch. I was trying to hurry too much to get ready for the shootout and put in someone else's AEM program. The settings in the different ECU's must have been different and I ended up getting WAY too much timing. The year before it made 11k miles and 120+ passes at the track. The weekend of the SO I made 38 passes (20 gallons of race gas!). I broke into the 11's and ran 30+ passes between 12.0 and 12.3.

Hell, I ran a 13.6 in my winter beater (on snow tires and 16 psi, the only time it was at the track), and that is faster than you have ever ran!

I along with him have never ran at the track. We can set up some street race which is not as far away or something. I have had problems getting weekends off.

I will try and take on the honda, I will take (yes, take) Peter, and I am willing to race anyone when my car is ready (probly later spring). I am not afraid of losing. It is all in fun. There is always someone faster. I will run against a QPR car if Mike ever gets one running

I might just have to get that laser fixed and beat you with that hahahaha. I have someone that wants to buy the blue shell, if he doesn't I am going to keep it and just push a little harder to get that car done. Depending on how much time I have, it could be done this year otherwise most likely next year. Now that I am the only one here, I have to put most all my time into customers work.

I was planning on doing a winter beater race thread on here a while ago. I would have liked to race craig and jet to see what the cars can/cannot do.

Jet: I am sure someone on here has time to look up the old thread with your claims. I however do not. I do not know about you but I race for fun. It is not a business.

I got an idea. I will race you. You will beat me and I will keep saying one more until your motor goes. Then I will have beaten you! (j/k)

Raptor · 01-27-2005

Oh my, this thread is going to get nutty hahaha. There is going to be a lot of serious cars coming out this year, should be entertaining as they all start voicing their opinions.

A//// Guy · 01-27-2005

All Im looking for this year is a car that pulls nicely and a 12 sec time slip would satisfy that.

AJ · 01-28-2005

ahhhh..... Bench racing has began. It's in the air! Can Ya smell it? WooT!

slowHonduh · 01-28-2005

Anyone making 400whp range, preferebly AWD wanna get owned by a honda?? I would also prefer to go from a dig. No i didn't miss type anything. Can't wait to play catch up with some slow AWD's.

Any takers??
