I know at least 3 bikes left without fully functioning clutches.

Mine had a small tick, so I put it on the trailer early.

Megan's CRX's battery died as she was staging, we ran back into fargo and picked up an optima yellow top.

I pulled the tranny out tonite, it's scrap.

I ran a 11.3 @ 118mph coasting after 3rd gear came apart....

whos red ride was that that ended the day a few minutes early by dropping fluids at the top end?
i think it was a VW, but not 100%.
there was a yellow 80's firebird who had to be pushed backwards as it died and could not restart it right away.

the electrode on one of the plugs on the front bank is mostly gone for some reason... the headgasket on the rear bank blew as well. I think it siezed on me too but I have not gotten around to trying to wrenching it over. Good times.

I REALLY wanted to get a run in with that SC/N2O setup though. dammit. I think I'll just have to settle for turbo/N2O next year.

I got another tranny in my car last nite. Hopefully it lasts a little longer.

[sleepermaxima]

Waaaaaait a minute...

Dave, didn't you say that 3rd broke? How in the world did you get to 118mph? :eek:

It must have broken after you were able to drive with it for a couple seconds I suppose.

I can only get to 93 in 3rd

I'm procrastinating here at work... and I shouldn't... but in the meantime I thought I would ask that q

The previous weekend I ran 11.02 @ 137mph staying in 3rd gear. I have 3.77 gears in the rear end and run the engine to 8000rpm. I think the tall 28" tires makes quite a difference.

[sleepermaxima]

holy crap! The max would hit the rev limit in 5th at about 155... with 3.73's

Let me regress in maturity by about 15 years and ask you this question: How fast do you recon that car can go? Factoring in drag and gearing... and whatever else you can think of.

Damn, I'm a lazy mofo today.

I used Cartest to run the numbers tonite, this is assuming that the engine and everything would stay together long enough to do a top speed run... It would take a little over 5 miles to get up to 215.3mph, that would be at about 7400rpm in 5th gear. The car would not pull to redline. Who wants to be the copilot running the camcorder when we do this?

[PSiedTSi]

i know an S13 that would love to take you from a roll...wait i think he makes about the same amount of power as you but weighs in at about 2300-2500lbs...his theoretical top speed is 225mph...170 in 4th gear proven
