Slow Cars....
-
[QUOTE=Flowcus] That factors down to really low 13's to high 12's trapping at close to 120mph. From a dig the car is slow due to its very long 1st gear. Also I could spend another $1000 and get a quaife LSD ( limited slip differential for you gravedigger cause im sure you dont know about LSD cause your car will never see one ) And ill pull high 12's all day and night. Also with those mods I really doubt there would be many cars that would pull on me from a 40drop. And I could probably see 165+mph I love my Getrag!
Peace!
RobQUOTE]How's about everyone quits the bench racing BS and the estimated hp #'s. We can all sit here all day long and say if i had this if i had that i'dmake this much hp, and go this fast. When in all reality that is such a BS claim. You all sit on here and argue about how's car will be faster w/ these fantasy mods.
If you're running low 13's, high 12's @ 120mph you have got to be the worst drag racers known to man especially w/ the LSD and slicks you list in this fantasy build.
I can list off a dozen cars in this town that would roll you from 40 mph roll.
Everyone quit the dreaming, fantasizing, and bench racing, go out get a fucking job, get off your lazy ass and maybe buy some parts so we dont have to listen to you all talk about them all day everyday.

12 sec front wheel drive car.... not a whole lot of those rolling around fargo. I can think of one or two. It's a LOT more difficult than most people think. you can pretty much rule out any NA car and any turbo car with a stock turbo, and you can rule out most any car that is still full weight...

I cant wait until i get my Turbo/Supercharged Diesel Engine for my Eclipse ..i will be running 7's then...hows that for fantasizing:D

How about we spend assloads of money we dont have chasing dreams that will never come true then file bankruptcy and have our daddy's bail us out? I have a fucking job working harder then youll ever even think about working in your pathetic little life asshole. And im learning a trade that in the next couple of years will have me making more money than about 95% of the people I went to highschool with. There are more priorities in life then cars you know. But thats fine if you want to sit around jerking off thinking about driving your 10second car that doesnt even run anymore you do that. Ill keep working my job putting money away towards a house and more important things and slowly modify my car like im doing.
Im probably more financially balanced than youd think of a 19yr old kid. I have priorities set and im working towards them. And if you want to talk about getting off your ass and working come work with me on a job site one day and lets see how long you last doing what I do. I doubt you would make it... shit I dont remember the last 8hr day I worked... and im just waiting to get sent out of town to work nice long 12hr days. Not to mention the stress and job load you get thrown on your shoulders at the end of a job when shits not going right. I may only be an apprentice but the journeymen pass their shit down on us to lighten the load.
Now before you open your high and mighty mouth again do some research into the people your bitching out. Just because you have a 10 second car doesnt make you better then us. Jesus christ im sick of people that think their shit dont stink.
Thats for the fucktard that popped off on me and my quote... you know who you are dickhead.
Peace!

Flowcus, chill out man, it's just a forum. He expressed his opinion and you expressed yours, no need to go psycho on him cuz he doesn't agree w/ you. When did he say he was better than the rest of us? All he said was that until it becomes reality AND you put down the numbers that you claim, then all it is is speculation. I'm guilty of it too. I was CONFIDENT that I could put some mid 12's up w/ my setup, others online had gone that fast or faster. My best is 13.20 @ 101mph. I dynoed 283 whp and 296 lbs/ft on pump gas. What does that mean? X amount of whp does NOT equate to a Y time or Z trap speed. There are tons of factors at work, not the least of which is getting enough traction out of a FWD car. I'm not saying you can't/won't be able to do it, I'm just saying that it's not as easy as bolting on parts, strapping in and running 12's. I think that is what Nick was saying in his post as well. You can say what you want about him, he has put up some great numbers w/ both the DSM and the Integra. He knows what is involved in getting to the next level of speed. And, I wouldn't really be cocking off about him not working long days, the SLS guys spend an awful lot of time at the shop working (as do all the other shops in town, not trying to discredit anyone here) I have no idea what you do for a living Rob, and this is not intended to be an insult to you (or anyone else on here). I am sure your job is just as demanding as everyone else's is (maybe more so) and I do wish you luck in your project(s).

The last I heard he had sold his 10 second car and is in the process of building not one but three....so yes he is better then you. Remeber, this is a car forum. This isnt a pissing contest involving schooling, education, employment(unless you build cars) or financial wellbeing. If you drive a svt focus and you cock off to the owner of one of the more prominent "speed shops" you are probably not the level headed well balanced 19year old you claim to be.

RobAll i can do here is laugh because you have no idea....
Get your facts straight before making comments about me, the shop, or my vehicles. My "car" still runs fine. My whole setup went into another vehicle so idk where you got the comment about not running anymore. As Chuck stated, step into reality and quit making claims you read off the internet.
-Nobody ever said anything about anyone being better than anyone else.
-Nobody ever said anything about priorities.
-Nobody ever mentioned anything about being financially stable.
-Nobody ever said anything about age being a factor.But this internet drama about you people arguing over who's gonna have a faster car and all these "claims" is getting a little out of control and way to repetative. If you cant deal w/ the reality of it i guess the threads just wont exist anymore. The board was not created to be a place to cause drama which it seems yourself, Gravedigger and a few others get on here daily and love to do.
If you say your car can make these power claims, and you say your car will runs these times, lets see you do them rather than talk about them. Until then how about we quit arguing about it. And we're done.....

but the slow cars thread is so awesome....

I think it should stay open if people are still posting on it, and it is in the run your mouth section. If you don't like it, don't read it, don't post on it. Frankly I think it's kept the forums more active this last week or so since I started it. Yeah there is bashing and mouth running, but that's the point, it's a forum. It should be discarded when there's no one posting anymore, and it's been like a few days. Seriously chill rob, even I don't mouth off to the mods.... I started it as what it's called, but not even due to me, it's become a big cluster fuck. Evo, if you wan't someone for joe to race so badly, he should race turboed german pat and see what's up for cash, and lose.... ooooooohhh!!!!
-
Why dont you race me for cash and see whats up? oooooooohhhh.....?
...ill even take off the vinyl...
-
see your sending your races elseware cause you know you can't hang with him... even though you said you could beat him i know it isn't possible, he owned you from a roll and a stop... he missed 2nd gear and caught up to you and passed you... that's a CELICA GTS that you got a good look of the behind. How'd it look??
2003 Mitsubishi Evolution 8
2011 Ford F150 Ecoboost

Why race the stealth, you said you lose to him already anyway Evo. I think Joe and Pat should race, not you, and if you need rent money, you know where to go to get it. Don't take your vinyl off, it's where all of your HP comes from TT.
-
I would be more the happy to take it off..ya know.. to keep it a fair race and all.
-
god damn street racers.
BTW joe, i know a guy who could bypass your DVD player and E-brake.
i need rent money
