Yeah, I figured things would pick up once it started getting warm outside, but apparently not. It's been nothing but callouts that don't come to pass. Slow cars bragging about how they beat other slow cars.
My car won't be fast by any standards, but I'll definitely be making a lot of call outs in the weeks to come.

I'm waiting for my car to get shipped here. Once it's tuned I'll also make some call outs.
So what is the standard for being fast again?
12.651 @ 105?
Just curious.

No, that is what the guy that made the first post of this thread last ran.
I am new here, so I am just curious what they consider fast here. In Colorado Springs and Denver, 12s is fast. But that is at altitude and would be much faster at sea level.
isnt that faster then your 13.1? :lmfao:
When you catch up on things after a long time away, you should read who is being quoted. That quote was from onebadbird96. He said he ran that, among other times.
Also, you didn't answer the question.

03-27-2007, 04:39 PM
ok well i say this befor lt1ultraz says it what do you run and then you can talk and im not trying to be a dick b/c thats what my lt1 runs right now
Quoted from my callout thread to onebadbird96:
Catch up a little fast than I guess.
1. I never said I had a "pos mustang".
2. I was calling out a guy who came on talking shit about being fast.
3. Not once did I say I was fast.
4. Last time I was on a track was back in 2002. Same car; less mods, running nitrous, and no traction at 6000 ft above sea level. 13.6 @106. Spun all the way through 3rd gear, but obveously had the power to run a high 12.
5. I have no idea what my car will run now.
6. I am closing on my house, so I doubt I will make it to a track soon.
7. I will be out at Varsity (hopefully) on the 5th. If you would like to meet up, be my guest.
*notice*
No where in this post have I said I have a fast car, bad ass car, or that I am faster than anyone. There is always someone faster, expecially in a big city like Atlanta.

BTW, those two TT GT's already raced at least once...I saw the video. Joe won. Hes got a lot more power.

No races happen because nobody really enjoys racing anymore. It all has to be about money$$$$ and its just a comp out if you ask me. When someone says they will run you for $500.00 and you except and then they come up with a excuse why they can't run all the sudden than thats just straight up bitch. One person on here that is always making call outs did that to me not mentioning any names but is all just a comp out.:goodjob:

We can always count on you to do some theoretical calculator racing :goodjob: I guess by your bench-racing theory, it would take 1225 whp in a 3500# car to outrun a bike like a gsxr-1000. In reality, we all know it really only takes around 750.
I realize Im not talking apples to apples with that, but the point is that theory doesnt always hold true on the street.

Also it doesn't take a mustang that much power to run 123 mph in the 1/8. Maybe i will actually take it to the track sometime and really see what it can do but i just like cruising and messing around with it now.
this got started when Slowhawk posted his mph on real street tires...not drs..et streets etc. Aint NO mustang trapping 120+ in the 1/8 on a real street tire.
Conrad, when you gonna take that thing to the track? I will be there on my 3rd combo before you go once with yours....we need to hit steele soon

Is it built for speed or comfort?

Jerry you were there when I ran 123 on real street tires. I don't think people undertsand how fast 123MPH is in the 1/8th is when they claim it. Everyone just throws these track times out there like its nothing. If I'm not mistaken everyone says how fast your car is ,but I know your car was not anywhere near 123MPH in the 1/8th and you were still running 9's with slicks and skinnies:yes:

123 in the 1/8th is insane for any street car. Thats a mid 5 sec 1/8th mile pass and a mid-high 8 sec 1/4 mile at 170-ish mph. No one on the board runs that most likely, except maybe "Joe..." And thats probably a stretch.
And NO ONE is doing that on street tires. Period.

Umm, are we talking race cars or street cars?

so high-mid 5's is about right for 1/8th. Cars will vary some obviously.
Anything else enlightening?

It's amazing how quickly you can find some sources. You on any other web sites by chance? I may have heard it somewhere else.

Chris DOES know how fast 123 in the 1/8 is....I think he is just having fun unles his wife really stepped it up.....which is possible but on a tire.
Matt, best the Incons ever did was 112 in the 1/8. This one may do 112.5 :)

123 in the 1/8th on street tires would be... dangerous.
I do know someone selling a car that can go 123mph on slicks locally tho ;) Hit me up if anybody is interested.
Peace,

oh, I understand... I was in Aiken this past weekend seen him make a few passes...
You didn't see my car run this weekend but you did see the wife make a few passes. Our 17 yr old daughter made 2 passes in the Gray coupe before blowing a tranny line, her best to date on a 75 shot is a 10.61 and our son ran the wife's car on motor 2 passes just so he could go down the track (no times mentioned). We are holding the kid's in the 10's until they get a little more seat time but both of their cars are easily capable of 9's.
If you saw the only nitrous pass that my wife made I would prefer you not to post that video since everyone thinks a street car can't trap 123 in the 1/8th and again I specified radial tires before someone tries to change my words around like usual.
Oh and F.Y.I. that was only the first kit with a lil 100 shot. :) My car is
a good bit faster with radial tires with tag, insurance and I can drive it anywhere just as well.
Why the hell didn't you come up and say hey? I don't think we have ever been on bad terms have we?
I wasn't trying to be a dick about it I was only commenting but SlowHawk has always been an azz to me on here for some reason. Anyone that knows us knows that we are not really competitive but just like to have fun and will help anyone that we can.
We do not run a shop but own an Exterminating Company and that's where the nick "BUGMAN" comes from. However we have a fairly adequate hobby shop out here that we play in with the cars.

Your right man, I have never been to a track before but one day I will go and see how fast that really is. :D

Bugman - I didn't come up and say hey because mainly I had to attend to my pregnant wife. I also hurt my leg pretty bad and my leg was getting pretty sore after walking around. I have a nasty bruise on it now, no exaggeration... it's the size of a football!
I'll be up there again, I liked the track a lot. It was my first time there.
Why not post the video? It was decent runs? I have some of the blue car. They annouced "Bugman" when the car was in the burn out box?? I assumed it was you...

Sorry to hear about your leg man I didn't know or we would have come over to where you guys were.
Carolina is our favorite track hands down.
The announcer is pretty cool and just about always has something to say when our cars are in the box but is was either my wife or my son in the car just not sure which one. He usually says Bugmans wife, son or daughter or he may have just been ragging on me.
The passes were great to be honest and I have an awesome video of the only nitrous pass that she ran from the launch pad if you care to see it. Just don't care to hear people on here ragging my wife or kid's and I know that's what will happen no matter how good the pass is someone will have something rude or stupid to say about it.
Maybe next time we can hang out a bit and congrats on the new baby!

Thanks, I can't wait 'til he gets here. Not to long, maybe a month? I wish my wife would race! I think it's cool that your family races and all... My dad is looking for coupe ready to roll... he's a BB Chevy guy looking to step over to the dark side. I'd like to see the video, if you want you can just PM me the link. We were at the very end of the pits, closest to the slip booth.

Thanks man we have a ton of fun and I am also very thankful that my wife and kid's are into it as much as they are, makes it really easy for me to get permission to go to the track. :)
We mostly run the 275/50/15 MT/Street Radial and I have had a best 60ft of a 1.31 on 11 lbs. of tire pressure before the burnout. That's on a 8 inch rim and stock suspension. The wife's car is a little too much for a 26 inch tire so we are stepping it up to the 275/60/15 which is a 28 inch tire and still on a 15x8 wheel.
You have a PM.
