How do "a few mods" translate into low 13s???

Hey, I may sound riled up, but I'm not. Its the internet. A friendly race is all good. Besides YOU were the one talking all that ish about handing 350Z's their asses, ripping new ones, and all that jazz. :fawk:

 

demolishin a 350z from a roll that wasnt a set-up race is alot different than a race that is actully setup.

im confused are you sayin i should be faster or slower. cause stock lt1's have ran as low 13.5-13.5 with some weight reduction on average its more like 13.8-14.0. so a few mods especailly on an engine like an lt1 it isnt hard to get low 13's.

 

I'm saying you've got some mods that you're not telling us about, or you have a looser definition of "few."

What do you have done, btw?

 

just a few little things, didnt give me much power, just loud as fawk now. r u stock?

 

I'm bone stock. There's only 6300 miles on her. She'll stay stock until I hit atleast 10K.

 

well first off, what BMW V8's are we talkin bout here
because the M3 is an inline 6

now i agree with integrity, we originally were talking stock here, not goddamn nascar or some super mustang that has a different suspension on it

why dont you just answer the question?
what mods are you running.
lid? exhaust? headers????
stop dancing around the question

I am officially backing integrity in this race :thumbup:

~boom

 

Races went well. We were about as safe as you can get on the street. Nobody got hurt, ticketed, shot, or arrested. These two cars are very evenly matched. Some races went my way, some went Diablo's way. However, I've got a whole lot of stuff to mess with him about... but I'll let him post up his side of the story before I start giving him a hard time.

Nice meeting you Diablo.

 

I didn't go down the route of mentioning the Q400 and stuff to get into another topic, I was just dismissing the statements thrown about like "the S2000 would slaughter the Mustang on a road course" and things like that. Maybe my idea of road course is different........I don't think stock vehicles in Car and Driver......I think fully prepared race vehicles. In the Targa link I gave they have to be street legal. My point there was show that a car like the S2000 has not been made competitive in that arena.....at least not as of yet.

Yes you can make any car's factory compramises better......to a point though. You won't turn a Civic into an 8 second car, and you won't turn it into a V8 class road race competitor either. That is all I'm saying. Even with street cars, there is a point where the car will get as good as it can for what it is designed for.

Don't come away thinking that just because my car has great torque, that some import that has been built can not take me out on the street because I'm not that arrogant. The stock GT is putting out a little over 260hp with the cat back.......that's not a lot of power. And having a lot of experience with friends who race, I fully realize that there are a lot of other thngs to consider. Why do you suppose my concentration is on suspsnsion mods and drivetrain mods? And to be honest, the GT isn't as bad a handle as people say.....they just don't understand how a solid axle handles.........different backgrounds maybe.

Here is the thing, you with the 350Z and myself with the GT can pass more cars than we get passed by.......and you can't say that having that kind of torque isn't a good starting place for a modified car.

 

Must be nice to live where there's no snow.

Why do I get the feeling this is thread is about to get wild? I am looking forward to the details.

 

It all started with a Civic and a minivan....haha
