SPLN SUX

im at home, some surf on thier lunch break... use your brain

Yea i had him for Public Speaking. Out of spite, i used the game on the projector for a speech on how braket racing works

518hrs OT... and those were REQUIRED!

um NWS??? toolbag

Dont bash Smokey and the Bandit, or ill have to bash you.

officaly the shortest post you've ever made, CONGRATS!

funny stuff http://www.stupidvideos.com/video/Pesky_Squirrle/?m=new&tf=all

maybe repost... im a little behind on the videos lol http://www.stupidvideos.com/video/sports/Insane_handgun/

just to see if you can... havent you ever watched Smokey and the Bandit? You kids these days... Snowman: Hey Bandit, me and Fred's got a question... why are we doin this? Bandit: Well why not? Snowman: Well they say it could'nt be done. Bandit: Well thats exactly why. Snowman: Thats good with Fred, were clear now.

Noice!

wow, its been quite a while since ive seen that vid... at least a year old.

i played nitto like 5yrs ago in college... specificaly creative writing classes lol. Mr Conkilin actully played it once or twice... then dropped me a letter grade

probably safer than the single wall thermo plastic fuel tank your GXP has

Ok, from what i understand, the Porsche transmissions are used to do the mid engine SBC swaps into all kinds of kit cars, and Fiero kit swaps. Thats only possible because the frame is either built to fit that combo, or its cut to fit that combo... i wouldnt cut up any ferrari... ever.

Pratt bought the Futurliner for 4,100,000, AND THEN DROVE IT HOME!... i saw that on TV... it was a big mess. He buys all kinds of shit for his showroom.

its never over till its over

IMPOUNDED!

I quoted myself so that i can add some visual aid to my words... watch the first pull of this video... from 15mph, from a guy making 370whp(362trq) on a 9.5:1 2.4L LD9.... then after watching that, think about what my 2.6L with 10.5:1, another 12psi, and a triple digit shot of nitrous might do (other than be the most spectacular explosion ever lol)... i hope you see my point. BTW, he made that pull on a set of 225/50R16 nitto 555Rs http://videos.streetfire.net/search/turbo+cavalier/0/e4978c39-419e-4ec4-a033-9885018b4bc6.htm

I think Linn did 11.18 on spray, im assuming Sams sig is on spray as well.

Not in all cases, but in general yes... some vehicals, just dont get off the line, are terribly slow thru the 1/8th, but gain control by the 1000, and haul the mail from the 1000 on... specificaly, cars that run the 1000meters, rather than the 400. Again, a high torque FWD that cant even make full power untill almost 4th gear... not going to trap for shit, or ET for shit, but runs the 1000 meters like a champ. I.E. EIP R32, im sure youve seen the vids.

are you the guy with the blue laser who whined about boost cut all night after losing to a mustang last summer? Then refused to run my Volvo from a roll?

what were your RPM levels though??? 7000? and probably on the surge line... im talking about pulling 25psi at 3500 and making 500lbft from 4000 on up to 6000... theres just no chance to hook that up. Id imagine that you were breaking lose on the top end, then really blowing smoke on the gear change, im talking about lighting a fire before even getting to the next gear... i dunno, maybe im thinking too pesimisticly, but i think its going to be like trying to drive a Viper down the 1/4 with 5in wide spare tires on the back.

lol, i was just guessing as to what (something) "else" might be... but im sure hes thinking of a differnent car. I wouldnt mind building a 482 though

482 SBC? :burn:

I believe i was the first to chime in about FWD's... my worry isnt that the FWDs wont be fast, my argument was with said "rules" of the ladder, specifically the starting speed. In an application such as mine, max power couldnt even be reached untill almost 80mph (well into 3rd gear). 25lbs of boost is enough to piss traction into the wind even at 40 or 50mph, let alone 20... then even after that, theres spray. My argument was that even if the car makes 600whp, it wont matter because by the time it would be able to actully make 600whp, the race is already over. Now im sure there would be a counter with, "Well so and so mkae XXXwhp and doesnt have that problem." While that may be true, its the torque that worries me. A 600whp 2 Litre is only going to make 350-400lb-ft, and thats at some high ass RPM. Im looking at 500 lb-ft @ roughly 4000rpm...not exactly good for slow rolls. Even with radials, it would lose traction, and if slicks were used, well say bye bye to the axels if not the tranny. I dont think there should be seperate classes by any means, i would just think that a higher starting roll would relieve a little bit of the handy cap of FWD traction issues.
