^^^ Didnt your Mayor just shoot himself in the head?
Either way, with my childish jokes put aside, Warner Robins is a hell of a drive. Thing is my parents just bought a beach house in Florida so going to the house I went through Warner Robins. As it is now, you have very respectable time for what you got in your camaro. What Im getting at, is when I go to the beach house next, I’ll pm you, and we will link up while Im nearby. Hopefully by then you will still be low 13’s rather than the 12’s you are aiming for.
What do you know about walka.....lolQuote:

But I'm down. Unless my Prelude sells between now and then, nothing will be different on the Camaro. Just hope it's one of the "on" days for the camaro... lol

Lankhoss and most other people on here think my car is some 12 second car I sandbag all the time. This exact vette ran 13.8 all night at commerce and I LOST. Vids speak for tjemselves
this thread sucks, i was expecting some good vids.
Damn it Mike quit downplaying your car. I am tired of all this shit about how slow your car is. I will post the dyno graphs soon that show the real power of the mighty ITR. Lets just say its 400+whp at 17,000rpm (since that is where he really shifts it) and 138ft/lbs tq (still a honda). O and tell them about all the carbon and titanium doors and floor pans so the car only weighs about 1100grams.
And as far as all the times in the 1/4mile compared to a street race from a roll. That is a stupid arguement. For example, Spoolin ran a 11.0 this weekend but trapped 141mph. A V8 rwd car may also run a 11.0 but at only 125mph. Now go do a 60 or 80 roll and will it be just as even as on the track.........
But when its all said and done no one gives two shits about roll racing!Quote:

yes roll racing FTL.
Mikes car is an easy 11 sec crx. Im just going to admit it cause im tired of reading this shit.
Well damn! Put it out there why don't you lolQuote:

Sorry about the confusion, i was saying my car in street trim is a high 13 second car, plain and simple. I dont know where all these guys are getting the LOW 12s shit from
Mike you need to come to jersey this weekend, see some 10 sec all motor hatches. I think Madrid is going be there with a west coast eg monster.Quote:

Heres what i think, and this is my last post on the matter
1) What SHOULD a car run vs what a Car actually runs is a very huge misconception. Too many variables. I always say what my car has RUN, not what it SHOULD run. To date its run 14.1@98mph (i think on one run i trapped 99 but had a slower ET). My old 190whp CRX trapped 103mph and ran 13.8. Weird.
2) I really dont know what it SHOULD run, because ive never really pushed it to the limits. When it ran 14.1 i didnt have the cams,valvetrain, etc. Now i only gained 5-6whp, but i also gained a lot more RPM. So in theory it should be faster but ive never gone back to the track to find out.
3) I BELIEVE that Commerce is a good .5 second SLOWER than ANY OTHER TRACK IN GA. Guys that are posting these fast times generally arent running at commerce. So either Commerce is SLOW or the other tracks are FAST (ie not accurate). I tend to believe that Commerce is just slow. So my 14.1 at Commerce, is prob a 13.5-13.6 at Steele, Reynolds, SDR, whatever. But thats bench racing and i dont like doing that. I can only form this opinion based on other cars with similar power racing at different tracks.
4) My old 240whp CRX SHOULD have run 11.7-11.9 all day, but i never tracked it. That car was MUCH faster than the car i own now. Not even close to the same power. I believe in all reality if i give the car to a great driver with 22in slicks and a perfect track that isnt commerce, its a LOW 13 car at best. Im talking 13.2-13.3.
I just dont see the 12s in it at all, i know how fast a 12 second car is, i would have RAPED that C5 vette. I would have RAPED Chunky and Voya, im not, im hanging with cars that make similar power. Cars that run in the 14s.
The vette consistently runs 13.8s. I think he ran 20 times that night an it was 13.8-13.9. You telling me he puts Drag Radials on and it runs high 12s? gimme a break. Its an Auto vette with exhaust, how is that possible?
FYI My 60Fts were 2.2. SHITTY i know, but no one was hooking that night.
this thread is still a failure, why dont you goto the track put some slicks on it and drive it like you wanna break something and see what it will do.
Exactly. But this dumb shit just makes crap up and posts whatever. Just like earlier when he kept crying about having to run to 160mph against Desi, when he was never asked to go above 140.Quote:

Now, Vteckidd....you just admitted your 14.1 was before you did the new valve train. I understand how you don't want to just throw numbers out as a guess as to what it "should" run, and that's cool and all. I actually don't have a problem with you not wanting to do that.....but you sit here and claim that you only have a 14 second car. So after making a change to your car that added horsepower as well as more revving for the motor, you don't think you'd be AT LEAST a tenth of a second or more?? You don't want to speculate that after modding your car it's any faster, but you WILL speculate that it's exactly as fast as it was before the mods??
In case you missed itQuote:

More power doesnt =faster, and i only made 6whp more than before. i went from 196whp to 202whp. Every other part of the graph was pretty much identical in power. Instead of revving to 8200 i can rev to 9000 if i wish thats all the valvetrain did for me. Its yet to be see if i would be faster with more rpms because i dont know if im faster by staying in gear and not shifting, or if i would benefit from shifting like i was before.
Im running collins tomorrow night, that will put the issue to rest IMO. He makes 400whp IIRC or upper 300s. He should put the hurt on me. He should be a good 3-5 cars ahead of me IMO. Guess we will find out
Moving to off-topic because thats what this thread has become.
Don't say that because you know it ain't true!Quote:

If your car is only in the 13's, I would think the c5 would do a little better. I am not too far from kennesaw, maybe we can do some friendly runs with my c5..:cheers:
whats up dude, havent seen you post in a whileQuote:

Commerce is only slower on friday nights when the staff could care less.
I don't have a problem with that.Quote:

Like I've been saying, come out to SDR one night and run it. I think it'll impress you if you'll get some slicks and drive the shit out of it.Quote:

Your car with slicks WILL launch HARD. It's light, great gearing, strong motor. You keep telling me how bad everyones cars were spinning, but you keep saying cars are slow at commerce. No wonder. A honda spinning/bogging and a honda launching hard are two different animals... running a high 12 NA honda from a ROLL is like running a 13 second anything else. 1.8 60' and 2.2 60' can be around .8th of a second difference in 1/4 time ;) Add in spinning 2nd and 3rd gear, and you have your 12.Quote:

Power : weight
My friends STOCK LS1 auto camaro CONVERTIBLE, so it was heavy, ran a 13.4. Corvette is lighter than just a regular camaro, then you add in it was a convertible camaro and the corvette had exhaust. With traction that's possibly a high 12.
True :( I ran a 14.1 w/ 240 whp, and I ran a 14.2 w/ 310 doh! but i did have 2.7 60fts lol!
