Default Ive had a few races with multiple cars. in a 2001 TA

since its been a while im just giong to post the cars ive ran against.


Turbo Civic 0-100 had about 5 cars.
Turbo Talon- 30-80 i had about 3 cars.
few LT1 camaros destroyed them all.
2or3 03/04 stangs GTs all wentl down.
05 stang GT manual 20ish-100 had about 4 cars.
slick prelude not sure of mods Demolished it. bus lenghts form different speeds.

hopefully will be going to the local track this weekend and will come across some good competition

Dude do you go around with a giant sign on your car that says "race me please" or something? I can't get any runs around here... That might change once I get my exhaust finished though.

yea 13.6 is my most recent time. had an 8.8 1/8 mile time with that run. since then i went to a 1/8 track and ran a 8.6@85 with a 2.190 something. i have new tires that grip alot better and lighter rims. switched to painted ones. hopefully will get to bowling green this friday for a new time im hoping for a 13.1-13.3 around 105 mph with a 2.0 60ft if i grip enough. the cutout should help mroe in in the 1/4 than in the 1/8 mile.


and the civic was a high 13's car and the 05 stang are mid 13's also. so be a negative dork elsewhere.

i dunno why so many people try me. i guess because im a vert and so they think im slower.. but im just as fast stock for stock as any other a4 t-top ect. i was beating out a ws6 at the 1/8 track and out trapping him by 1mph. so my vert is definately above par.

since i got the cutout the races have slowed down. my closest race was vs a 2000-2001 grand prix. not sure what all he had done but i only pulled about 3 cars from 45-100. thats quick for a GP. i know i have owned 2 GPs before.

i had one loss that i posted a while back vs a 04 stang GT we hit it at 40 mph and he just started wlaking by me. i was slowing his walk but by then he had about 2 cars on me so i just gave up.



oh and forgot to add i smoked the CRAP OUT OF A MAZADA RX-7... must have been a pose 14 second car also.. though it looked more like a 15 second car.... you car woulndt be crap without that engine so i wouldnt make to much fun of 14 second cars.

It depends where you live. When I'm home in Mass I cant find a race. I have had one race so far and it was an 80s jetta rabit... lol ok so it wasnt even a race. But down here in Miami where I go to school if you have a car thats fast you cant go anywhere without someone wanting to race you. Even the guys with the nice cars like to race. At home porsche owners are like 60yrs old but in Miami they'll run yah usually, too bad they are slow.

Since FD's run 13's sotck, must have been a bad driver. Or either it was a older gen. Mess with single turbo FD's and get your *** handed to you...

Or an RX7 with an LS1 in it. Thats what I plan to do. I'll be in the 10s for 10k while retaining all the amazing handling charachteristics of the RX7, no solid rear axle for me. If I wanted a pure drag car I'de get a FB (even older model) and replace the solid rear in that car with an 8.8 in. It only weighs a little over 2000lbs so you can imagine how insane this car is with an LS1. They have 450whp FBs in the 9s.

Thats insane.. think about if you actually built that motor up and got a little crazy with it.

Wait I actually already know someone doing that. Hes got a FB complelty stripped. The interior is a seat and a steering wheel no dash, only essential guages, everywhere you look is just bare sheet metal, he even took the sound deadining out. Its probably around 1800lbs (my buddy and I picked the back end of the car up off the ground) And he is already putting down 440whp with a ford 302 and a 175shot that he shoots off the line. He is getting a fully built 331 stroker motor that comes with a 500hp dyno sheet for the motor, and than hes spraying a 300shot on the thing. Probably around 800whp and sub 2000lbs. I dont know what the thing is going to run but he drives it on the streets. If your down in miami and see some beat up FB with an unusual sounding exhaust watch out cause you'll probably get owned.

Anyone have any idea what that car could run in the quarter mile with 800whp. He is running the stock 4.10 gears now but when he goes up in power he is probably gonna switch that to like 3.43s or something cause hes gonna have serious traction problem. Its has T5 now but I am sure he is gonna have to upgrade to a t56 or some auto. What would it run with the auto what would it run with the t56? Approximatly?
