    But still its sad that my 30 year-old daily driver that was produced during the height of the 80's gas crisis and was loaded down with almost 500lbs of additional safety, emissions, and superfluous 80's crap when compared to the s30, can come very close to out running a "racecar" and a million dollar ricer with a magical engine that was tuned by Merlin using alchemy.

    LOLOL

    So race cars can only be 200mph supercars now? Unless you have a clue what you're talking about, pay attention. We know you're in class right now.

    My daily driver is faster than the ACR in a straight line. lol

    You forget your car is fwd? Perhaps you should upgrade and stop using that as an excuse when a 240z passes you by.

    What does FWD have anything to do with it? I actually passed a 240Z quite badly at Road Atlanta a few weeks ago and my car had a blown cat and a cutting in/out issue.

    You really shouldn't talk crap about stuff if you know nothing about it. Especially since I've had more RWD cars than FWD and regularly drive RWD cars as well.

    And mines still a daily driver with AC, power windows, cruise and interior pieces.


    Daily driving a slow 280zx > being embarrassed at the track in a neon that looks like it belongs in the 24 hours de Lemons race.

    I'd be pretty embarrassed to drive your car honestly speaking. It makes me nauseous but that may be because the color resembles my vomit.

    As for being embarrassed at the track, that just shows your lack of knowledge.

    Its well known that a stock s130 can do 130mph, and do it at a little under 5k rpm.

    In 4th, you have a 1:1 transmission ratio. If you have 5th, that is OD gearing. OD is either 0.864 or 0.773. We will assume it is 0.773 to give you the benefit of the doubt. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt thinking that you have the 1980 transmission and rear end, rather than the 79, which is worse.
    Stock tire size was 195/70 VR14.
    If we calculate based upon that, we find that you would be running 113.7 mph at 5K rpm - and that is if you have zero wind resistance, and no coefficient of drag. You would have to do 5700 rpm to reach 130mph utilizing your OD. Your 4th gear couldn't reach 130mph at even 7K rpm.
    Do you have any idea how long it would take you to reach 130mph in OD?

    Actually, you aren't even close to keeping up with a stock Neon in a drag race. BTW - I thought you had the "sports car"....
