foggy wet night but luckily the roads dry quick in mexico

first race was about the same with the 5.0 getn a lil better jump(no video)

2nd race I got a slight jump on the 3rd honk only to have him creep around me..we went from 45 to 110 or so. I brake boosted in 3rd hence the small jump, stayed pretty close thru 4th and as soon as he got by me I went to 5th and let out which is why it looks like he hit the gas(which he didnt)..chase car is a new v6 stang(not sure on mods).

Overall two good runs w a good friend and only got beat by about a car. The 5.0 is well known in this part of mexico mainly for dig races maybe we'll get some of them of video if I decide to run him in my H/C 98z28

cliff notes: mustang 5.0 2 wins neon 0 wins=fail but Ill take being beaten by a car length in my dd any day..fun race

1st video is chase view



2nd video is from neon view just after the honks

thnx..its on low boost for now..thinking about a snow kit and/or more fuel/boost..but it runs great as is..cant seem to get the mileage I was hoping for though..might help if I could keep my foot out of it

What is the point of the rear race view?

speedshifterNC

iTrader: (1)

just another angle..the race was closer than it looked..in both races he was still in gear pulling when I had to go to 5th(which slows down dramatically)..curse those high winding 5.0s..and now that I think about it..the v6 stang seemed to hang pretty good w a nice anticipating jump(again not sure on the mods)

audacious nick

An angle where you can't see anything but some tail lights.

Too much **** in your car to be honest. I knew you were losing by looking at the numbers and race weight. If you didn't have the 200lbs passenger and the x amount of groceries in there, you would have done better. Weight was your main ally, and you killed it with a heavy passenger. LOL Good deaths.

Knight-Z06

do you ever have anything positive to say ?

why dont you try being cool

audacious nick

Z06s are cool.
But seriously, the rear view is useless. I don't even understand it.

Is that the same 2.4 block that would have been in my old DD 2.4 3G Eclipse?

I've heard a few guys will run that block with different heads for boost applications

mine was a stratus block..Ive heard they were similar but idk..Im sure someone else will chime in

nick I wanted to make sure my muffler belt didnt fly off..theres another great reason..seriously who gives a f*ck?! its another angle big deal

Heater

Good death!

Sounds like you've got a nasty combo for a DD.

Nice little sleeper. I like it.

There was a stratus block that was the same as the 3g eclipse and 8g galants. It was in the stratus coupe. I think it's easier to use the dodge 2.4 though due to mounting, accessories and everything else, so I would guess that is it.

Good runs! Seems like a good setup but you need e85 !

Why do I know this stuff. ::facepalm:: I'm literally typing this with my head down. The accessories on the eclipse are different. i.e the alternator bracket setup is different. However, it's swappable. It's easier to use the 2.4 from the stratus/pt cruiser since it's a direct swap. Most people use the heads off the 2.4 since its basically the same but use the 2.0 DOHC cams. The 2.0 cams or some lightly modified crane cams like 14's, 16's, or 18's are perfect for the turbo applications. I wanted to run 24's for some of my old builds but never finished any of them. There were 9 total.

^^This. You will easily be able to make 300whp and around 400wtq on that stock turbo setup. You need to be able to support a good amount of fuel though and a way to tune.

yea I wasnt worried about the weight..this is really the first street race in the car since I played camera car to a boss/evo race about a year ago..I just wanted to see where I was at. I even called the outcome..but my friend in the 5.0 was pretty surprised how well I kept up

a friend pointed out another reason the chase view was worthy of posting..the view from the neon was just after the start of the race..the chase view catches the whole race and u see how close it is
