Hell my wife traps higher speeds than that in the 1/8th on radial tires..Originally Posted by slowhawk01
Everyone on here needs to go to one of the private track rentals so you can race the way you want to (except roll racing) with flagger, etc.
Good for you and your wife. I'm glad she has a fast car.Originally Posted by BUGMAN
Wasn't trying to brag thats just what it runs. Also I call bullshit on the trap of 123 in 1/8th but hell I guess she is doing bottom 9's to high 8's in the 1/4 on tires

Maybe most but I wouldn't say all.... I know it was hot this weekend at the track, but it doesn't affect the nitrous cars like it does the blower cars. I'll try to post a video when I get home.Originally Posted by 198plus
I didn't really think he could outrun everybody I meant that they really have some pretty quick cars for those who don't know them and they are good people to.Originally Posted by FAHHQUE700

oh, I understand... I was in Aiken this past weekend seen him make a few passes...Originally Posted by 198plus
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.Originally Posted by FAHHQUE700
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.
Like I said good for him. I drive a street car not a race car. All I said is there mustangs are not trapping 123 or faster in the 1/8th. Mustngs don't MPH for shit. I don't need some stupid video of a drag car that someone will go and post either of one car that will prove me wrong. I beleive his last video he posted his son trapped 110 or so in the 1/4Originally Posted by 198plus

123 mph ain't shit son. Hmmm my coupe makes 548 rwhp/640 rwtq on low boost and with 3.27 gears and a 3200 lb raceweight i would say it would easily trap over 130 in the 1/4 mile. 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.
We can always count on you to do some theoretical calculator racingOriginally Posted by WINDSOR
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.
didnt matt's make alittle over 600 and it went 132+ at commerece last weekend?Originally Posted by WINDSOR

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 skinniesOriginally Posted by Incontt
