Moon boost Coyotard vs stock LS1 SS
#102
He beats 2V cars...you don't. So there is that.
What's slower than monkey ****?
#103
No. He runs a shop and charges shop rate to customers. This is his main source of income.
You think other shops don't track their R&D time/parts/labor when they build a car?
Hell, he probably writes off parts/R&D/labor on his taxes for his shop racecar.
Notice that this is the 2nd time I've asked his shop rate and he refuses to state it.... 100K is waaaaay low! LOL
Exactly. All the non racers attacking real racers is funny AF.

Very good point
I have raced numerous times at Hio track. It is a dump and slow. You can't even get around the water box. I am sure Hio would go high 120s down here.
Rick's car runs good. It is heavy and some mods are not ideal but he knows.. He is happy with it. That is what counts. Looks like DB and I will have to come down and avenge you.
Good race.

Rick has heavy wheels,stereo,his suspensionis is heavy,heavy clutch,could use more gear,more intake and his car is a loaded factory car.etc.... He doesn't care about ET and he knows these things. As long as he is happy who am I to suggest what to do. His car looks good,is super clean and sounds bananas. That is what he wanted.

I never said the car couldn't be driven in the street. You've mistaken my comment. I'm sure it goes around fine. But let's not ignore the fact that it has all front suspension, K member, arms, light brake rotors with bigger heads and possibly a bigger cam and an auto with a 4400 stall. Lol it might be streetable but it's setup for the track. That's without knowing any other details of front weight reduction like battery or Hio's saw mod.

If it was set up for the track it would be caged,have more gear,race gas,aftermarket heads,drag pack,front sway bar yanked,solid roller huge cam,drag shocks,drag springs,intake, interior weight reduction with a poweradder etc. I driven it in the snow,my mom dded it for a week and even took it to the Keys. Hio,Lawhead,Fordgirlgonebad and Redbird did say the old stall was a bit loose so I changed it and did some weight reduction in the trans. Drives like stock now till you smack it. Idle is just about perfect even cold(though if I did it again I would have ran an LPE cam with stock idle to match the stock looks). If you know what you are doing and get input from people instead of calling those people names you can have a street car that can be driven anywhere in DD mode and crack out tens while averaging high 20s mpg wise without a power adder. Not for everyone and not cheap. But saying the car is set up for the track is wrong. If it was, it would be much much different.

Your approach, time spent,and parts used can all be different. I can try new parts on my car or tweak something and if it doesn't have the desired effect then I can try something else. No big deal and it's fun when it works out. A customer may not have deep enough pockets for all that if they can't wrench.
If you are having fun with your car and it's a hobby it's not really work. I have torn stuff out I put together the previous year just to try something new. I would not tell one of my customers I want to tear out something I installed to try something new

It's becoming more and more apparent that you infact didn't make it past 3rd grade. I never said the car wasn't streetable but you'd have to be a non racing old blind man to say that Mike has ET in mind way more than rick does, which you are. lol!

My brake rotors are stock replacement. I went with two piece ones to save weight. Rest is stock. I will try to lighten the brackets the calipers are on though. If I was track based I would have went with race brakes and light weight spindles. Some guys get away with them on the street but since I take the car to Md from Florida I don't think it is a good idea.
#116
Me: aftermarket 2 piece light weight brakes
Hio: they aren't race brakes!!
Mike: they are stock replacement 2 piece lightweight rotors
Hio: FML! Why does my own teammate ruin my argument!

I have the same brakes dipshit. They are stock replacement. Be lucky if the saved 6lb.
So soslo built a car with no respect to performance. Sounds about right to me
