They cut most of the imports out of show. It took 3 hours to run the races and 99% of the time the import team was either crying or pissing about something or another.


Here is a Honda board thread about it http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1407298&page=1

YES! LT1! I'd really like to see that episode! Did you guys see the one with the 4th gen Nitrous'd Trans AM vs. Strip-Equipped Camaro? I won't give away the ending, but it was entertaining for the time-being.

That thread on the Honda board is great. I'm rotfl! Not only do their cars suck, but I also noticed that none of them can spell. I for one suck when it comes to spelling, so you know your spelling is bad if I have to call you out on it.

As far as the show "Pinks" goes, I saw it once and that was enough. It just so happened to be the TA vs. Camaro one that was mentioned earlier in this thread. Too much crying for me. Run what you brung.

Haha! That dude lost to an LT1 and not even the mighty "LS1 than can neva looooose!" lol.

That's hilarious... So is that episode on like right now today???? cuz i notice that import board messages are from like october 05..... DAYUM, pinks needs to come out on DVD for the whole season so i can see all the fun...

Those import guys are morons. They get 20 cars and still complain.... Too ****** bad that your car is a slow turd and can't win when you get 20 cars...

Don't bring a knife to a gunfight homey.... That's why domestics will always own your punk asses....

However does ANYONE have more info about this firebird????? cause heres my problem and it may be that the import guys don't know what they are talking about..... They said it's a 396 with a 25PSI!!!! Procharger and a 100 shot with a TH400 and a brake.... Okay I'm just gonna put this out there but my old 355 budget motor went 10.40@131 with the same tranny on a 150 shot and that's it..... No supercharger at all....

In my humble opinion and building these cars for over 10 years a 396 with a 25psi procharger plus a 100 shot with a TH400 and a brake would EASILY be a high 8 second car.... And most likely it would make over 1000RWHP setup correctly.... So somehow i'm thinking that the psi of that procharger is being grosslly overrated by the import guys.... They said best it ever ran was 10.0... with 25psi of boost and 100 shot running 10.0 they'd have to be on 5 cylinders running in reverse....

agreed, but I have to say theres a big difference between ricers and import racers, I have a lot of respect for TT Supras pushing over 1300rwhp.

The guys wearing the black shirts on the TA team were Krystos and Pual Efantis.

Here what the tall guy in the sunglasses always in the back ground posted on our local board.

Jeff’s tell us they have a couple of “import racers” coming to help us out with identifying and just helping overall. Soon a black F150 rolling on 24” rims rolls up and we get a little bit more info on the “import racers” that are on our team.
First is Paul Efantis.
http://ndra.nopi.com/2005/kd_dsp_racer.cfm?vrid=87
And his brother Krystos Efantis.
http://ndra.nopi.com/2005/kd_dsp_racer.cfm?vrid=223
They own MSP.
http://motorsportsperformanceracing....te/index1.html

So after introductions they head off to see what they can find out. Well about 20 minutes later they come back laughing, saying a lot of the guys on the other team have been customers of theirs and that one guy told they the entire setup thinking that they are import guys (the other team know they are racing a domestic). They get asked "why are you here?" They tell them they are watching the bike race (the next race after ours).

So we are called to the starting line. We all pile into the trailer with the brothers to head up. At this point Krystos gets in the car under the cover to steer it to the starting line. We get the go ahead to open up the trailers and get the cars to the starting line. Both cars are rolled to the line covers on them. At this point the other team sees that the brothers are on our team and looks were priceless. We take the covers off both cars and assemble at the “PINKS spot” which is just a place in the center of the track prior to the tree where they painted the pinks logo.

I travel ALOT for work.... I wanted to do an FI build, bought all of my ****, and decided I'd rather not wait a year or more to finish it, so I started talking to Jeff Creech at Carolina Auto Masters about throwing the stuff into the car... I'm supposed to be picking it up Friday afternoon, but that's not solid yet.....

Anyway, a few weeks back I drove down to hang out with him for a day and here is one of the pics I took. Look on the table behind the vette that sits in front of the window. Anyone who watched tonight should recognize this.... his slicks didn't fit with it on....

The race was taped back in October - today was the first airing of it.

Yep, that'd be the Honda bumper. The kid got his car back(minus the bumper), but it cost him some $$$$

The owner posted in the lounge thread. He said it already ran 9.40 at 146 or something like that and that he hopes for high 8s this year.

yup, its a badass car from what I've heard. I just wish I had cable so I could see it in action. If someone does host it, please make it available for DL and not just streaming video... I'm still stuck with 56K.

I love to see the f-bodies representin! They said the Honda had 600hp. Didnt run like it. After the first race they wanted more lengths,ricer said "i want 20 lengths",guy from TA owners team said,"we only beat you by 12 and you bogged off the line and granny shifted!" And then the ricer had the nerve to state "THATS HOW I DRIVE!"
