He talks soooo much **** and wants to run my car head up on spray. I told him fine but only for money (last time I saw him out there, his car wasn't running yet) and he said he was down

To jose, yeah your burnouts were a little much for a nitto, that and the high launch no wonder you couldn't hook. BTW a 9.0 at perris IS NOT a 9.0 at irwindale, the timers and distance at perris is all fucked up.

Nittos, hate prepped tracks, they are the worst tire I have seen at a track. Everyone that runs them says they always feel like they hook a lot better on the street. Its a decent street DR but not track for some reason. And perris is just all around fucked up. I ran a 9.0@98 mph there with no stall or tires, went to irwindale and ran 8.0@87

lol.. my bro ran a 9.1 and beat a C5 Z06 with a 3-4 mph higher trap speed

and also lost by less than .1 (9.18 to his 9.09)to a full bolt-on (turbo upgrade )WRX that claimed to run 12.9 in the 1/4.... We just thought everyone lied and no one could drive, including my bro..

Yeah I was used to running at irwindale so my first pass I thought I just fucked up the 60' but then I saw the MPH and my 60' was still around a 2.0 I was like WTF! Well 9 runs later in 30 minutes and I realized that the traps and distance must just be all fucked up Its nice for trying to get your car set up to hook though, cheap and you get lots and lots of runs.

Thanks! I talked to the owner of that car for awhile. It is a dodge omni. Has a 2.5 bottom end out of the turbo minivan, ported head with a cam, 50 trim turbo, full exhaust, intercooler, and 22psi. 24.5 inch slicks. He said that he ran 11.9 in the quarter before some of these other mods.

Thanks! He wanted to race me? I love to run win or lose, I'll do it next time for sure.

The NBM SS is wayyyy fast. He just can't hook on the nittos. His name is Fifedogg on here. He is in this thread.

The worst part is we were making fun of the car and some guy that was there on a stretched zx14 with nitrous said that the car is fast that he used to street race with him. we laughed until we saw him run. Man did that car move

I've seen him run out at Fontana a few years back, loaded up the family that thing and drove home on et streets.
