My street tune is a deep 11 sec car. I ran 11.XX with the stock bottom end, cams and smaller injectors at lower psi than im currently at. Made a good number of changes since since then. I have no dyno or current ET to support it. To answer the next question that's going to be asked, Why dont i?... because like any other guy with a new toy... i'm in no hurry to tear it up. The blitz clutch im currently using is a lot less forgiving than what i'm used to and on my budget, i cant afford to fix anything i break right now. I'f i broke an axle or my transmission... i would be down the rest of the year. With that said.... I'm perfectly happy and content out running local mustangs that i know nothing about. That puts a smile on my face. :cheers:Quote:

I'm most definately a ricer, what gave me away? the subtle appearance? the wingless trunk? the lack of stickers?Quote:

You sound like a good friend to make. I'll be sure to introduce myself to everyone on IA when i come to atlanta to race. No gaurantee on when that is gonna be though.Quote:

All the shit about the car running like crap and bogging down, not brake boosting, on 205 street tires, referring to your car as "this little Nissan," and be super hyper defensive about your car are all signs of ricerdom.
You tell me that I underestimate Columbus because of all the records that have been set there, then come back to say that a 9 or 10 second car can beat you....but you're faster than 90% of the cars in Columbus. So were these "records" that were set there, made by cars from other cities? Or is a 9 second car considered "record-breaking" in that area? heh
And while you think you have one of the fastest and cleanest cars in Columbus, everyone else is laughing at you for coming to that assumption after pulling a few 13 second Mustangs on the highway one night.
You totally just described your buddy thacker... just saying...Quote:

Obviously i'm happy to have out ran some cars... otherwise i wouldnt have taken the time to post... or wouldnt have raced to begin with. Yes, i enjoy what im doing. Racing cars is obviously a hobby that im fond of. The line between saying what happened and bragging is obviously very vague.Quote:

Then if i got out ran because i was racing with my pants down, oh well. Then someone else could "brag" about the fast Silvia they out ran.
The line about 9 second cars and records nonsense. Pointing out the prestige of the local track was for the sole purpose of stating that columbus is a racing town and has a lot of people with fast cars. The track and the street are 2 different things. I know several cars here that are WAYYYY faster than mine. Most of them are old friends of mine. The point was that my car is in the upper class of what you're gonna find in the grocery store parking lot or in a mcdonalds drive thru. The % of 9-10... even 11 second cars just cruising around town is not that high. I'm comparing my car to what i see being driven on the street... not to what i could find at the strip.
also... you're making a big deal about " the little nissan ". My car is little... little is an adjective that accurately described my car. Little car... Little engine.... Little turbo appearantely.
Get your argument together guy.... first people are mad at me for acting like my car is faster than it is... now your mad because i downplayed it. Please sir, give me an example of the propper action to take.
There are plenty of things Thacker does that I don't agree with as well.Quote:

I walk into a parking lot and ask what i believed to be the fastest car there to race. I dont know what else i can do.... Yeah... i downplayed my car.... standing in a group of supercharged mustangs that i expected to lose to.
"Proper action to take" would be to just go delete every post you've made.Quote:

Delete posts, feel sorry for yourself, don't come back to IA, race some more 13 and 14 second Mustangs, then feel like a badass again.
Oh come on man, tell us more about how the car wasn't running right!! And how you weren't brake boosting, and you used 2nd gear instead of 3rd because you were on 205 tires!!! Anything else that you may have remembered, that would have made your runs be well below what your car is capable of???? Are you sure your boost controller was working that night???Quote:

None of us knows a 100% perfect person. Even our best friends or girlfriends all have their little quirks that annoy us.
However, with Thacker....these things that annoy people are what make most people hate him. And for some odd reason, people think that anyone who is friends with him must obviously be JUST like him, and fully support EVERY thing he ever says. I feel like I have to "explain myself" anytime I mention that I get along with him....it's really kinda creepy.
I'm just reporting it back how it happened. I stalled my car out about 15 times that night..... anytime i take my foot off the gas my car dies...Quote:

I'm sure we'd get along fine in person. In fact, I'm not telling you to not come back to IA because I'm trying to look like a badass....you asked me what you should do, and I am telling you that because you've made it obvious that you can't handle what people here will say.Quote:

Don't post "kills" when you don't know anything about the cars you raced. "Supercharged Mustang" means nothing. From the sounds of it, these were stock 2v motors and probably making the same hp as you. As far as the KB DOHC car goes....I don't know what the hell was wrong with that, but it certainly didn't run like a typical DOHC KB car would.
Stop downplaying your car. You won.....there's no need to talk about how crappy your car was running, nor how bad the conditions were for you. Why would you CHOOSE to use the word "little" to describe your car? Even though it may be an accurate adjective about the car, the psychology behind actually USING that word is ricey......as if you are trying to make the car seem as underwhelming as possible, so it looks like David vs. Goliath anytime you race someone. Your car is highly modified and it's fast.....at this point, it doesn't matter what you started with, because once you're built and boosted the sky is the limit.
Also, you are on an import site. The Mustangs are the "underdogs" here, not you.
I understand the reasoning for questioning... the story sounds crazy. But the way i said it was pretty much the way it happened. Anyone there could tell you that my car died every single time it was sitting still.... I even stalled out on the highway. The tires.... im being honest. I'll show you a picture of the rubber im sitting on. Sand bagging.... I got the same accusations at the time the races happened. The mustang guys took turns riding with each other so they had the opportunity to gauge my car vs each others cars.... After seeing the differences in how my car ran each time, one of the guys was feeling around my piping looking for a nitrous line, when he didnt find one he started comparing the temps of the ICs thinking i had hidden my line somehow. I cant honestly tell you what either of these mustangs ran.... what i know i told you. Sohc with a centri blower. I didnt see it, but my friend told me it was huge. dohc with a KB screw. It is what it is... we all know what a KB is.Quote:

^^^^
Oh shit! You been called out! No backpedaling now. You gotta man up after all the bullshit in this thread. Let's see it.
Yeah come on up Sinfix. I think this thread has gotten a little out of hand. I'll run you, and buy you a beer afterwards. I'll buy a pitcher if you win :D
