I didnt mean that as a flame if it came out that way. It just sounded like you were talking your car up to more than it is and thats one of my biggest pet peeves.

I think everyone on this board has the speed virus

Now go whoop that 10psi1g's ass, which you should do no prob.

Umm, unless he's stock, it will be a good race.

Nick?? what are you doing on this site?

yeah im still in kato til may 7th. 2 weeks, then im done for a few months.

no i dont like to talk my car up. sorry if it looked like that. like i said, i look at things how they are, not how i want them to be. i like it when people talk thier car up, then lose or i keep up with them. makes them feel stupid.

im confused. i would beat a stock 1G DSM, they only run low 15's. but i have seen someone run a 14.65 with a 94 talon AWD. he wasnt totally stock, had few free mods, but nothing new for the engine. i'd actually really like to race one someday.

[npaulseth]

Yea, stock 1G awd DSM run high 14s actually stock. With MBC, exhaust, K&N, and a hard intercooler pipe, they can go mid 13's. Low 13's on race gas.

[93LT1]

with MBC, catback, downpipe, testpipe, airbox!, K&N, intercooler pipe, and free mods i've heard they are about 300 flywheel hp, and run about low to mid 13's.

Hey 93LT1...I think I seen you roll by the auto lab a while ago.

I'm at msu too.

With those exact mods I just said, a member of a local car club went 13.6 spinning off the line because he was on snow tires.

I thought so. in gage A correct? yeah ive been in the auto lab a few times. im trying to get on the dyno, but mead and jones wont let me without a 364 student.

there was another red TA cruising around yesterday with it's t-tops off. looked purdy.



and i believe that the DSM could spin if it had snow tires on. those things are really soft. not made for drag racing. i bet they were Q rated (99 mph) also

with a 13.6 he most likely trapped over 100... probably a high 12 second trap. good thing he didnt blow the tires...

i thought bfg's were better than ET streets?

Actually, the softer the tire the better when it comes to drag racing.

As far as me being on here, I have been the lone Firebird representative on this board for quite some time. (Except for I forgot his name with the beautiful white 3rd gen TA) You on my stomping grounds boy


Edit: I forgot about Matt. Sorry Newman

ET Streets are gonna be about the stickiest street legal tire you could run. But you arent gonna be able to corner too well.

I might have my car on the dyno on Monday or Tuesday of finals week...there's really no point in doing it, but I would like to crack 300hp on the Mustang Dyno. So far I am at 295/295, but I think the converter will rob some of that...

you thought wrong boy

Oh, npaulseth, dsms do have a ton of potential. But whens the last time you saw a dsm on 10psi run 13's? hmmm?

I raced redstal95 on 94 last friday with my red civic hatch and i thoght it would give me a better run then it did but hopefully he will race again with the bottle this time!
