driving along i see and hear a dsm coming up behind me pretty hot, hear the turbo and bov quite aways behind me, so I got a little nervous. An old bearded guy pulls up next to me with an eagle talon awd, gutted interior. he smiles, gives me a thumbs up, and then takes off. We were going about 35 and with how fast he took off I thought he was going to smoke me. But he slows back down, even with me and motions for me to go. So I drop it into second, cutout blaring in his face, and hammer it, gettin a little bit of wheelspin. He hit it almost at the same time, so I jump a car. Raced until the very top of 2nd (6600 rpm, 80 mph?) and i maybe pulled another fenderlength on him. We got stopped at the light, where he got to hear my car idle for the first time him and his passenger got wide-eyed, and said "badass car man!" I replied with the same, he said he had like a "50-trim" turbo on it. I've never heard of that but he said he estimated 300 hp at the wheels, which I think is a little optimistic at 3000 pound weight. Anyways he pulled an AWD launch at the green light and his front end pulled up so high I said "damn!" to myself. Anyways, cool old guy driving an actually fast dsm, I'm glad he didnt' smoke me :)

whatre you driving?

what gen dsm was it 1st, 2nd,3rd?

Good kill, it's allways cool to run and tell both people driving both have decntly fast cars and both respect each other.

Get a couple more vids of your car if youy can.

well I've done a little research and a 50 trim is good for around 350 whp, so he probably wasn't pushing the turbo much at all. I'm gonna be on the lookout for him in the future because he'll probably dust me next time unless I do some more mods.

...he pulled an AWD launch at the green light and his front end pulled up so high I said "damn!"...

i am guessing that he doesn't have very modiffied suspension on it... i think that if he had better suspension he would have scooled you... but it is all paper racing for that kinda talk

we raced from a roll so suspension isn't a factor. he launched off the light but I needed to get over in his lane to merge onto the freeway so I just let him go. i know he woulda killed me off the line, i probably wouldn't catch him until like 120. On street tires I get no traction, I spin all the way through second on a good 1-2 shift. crap on the freeway today there was an SRT-4 playin with me. Too bad it was raining, because in the rain I get squirrely in 4th gear at 75, lol anything can beat a camaro in the rain :(

dude that thongs and cleavage thread is effin awesome :D

yeah it use to be a sticky but the removed it.. so i went hunting to imortalize it:D

so it sounds good, but what does it run, z? any specs?

look in my other thread for specs. Hasn't been run at the track with new mods, I'm waiting until after my heads are ported with matching custom cam and a moderate shot of juice to get it fully dynotuned and to race it regularly. I'm too busy working on my local track's race nights. Maybe if I get a thursday off soon I'll go run the 1/8 for you.

*in my best scrlett ohara voice*

for me? you shouldnt have...:)

anyways..im hoping to get my pig into the low 12s this year...went 12.60s last year with a 300 stall and 4.10s...now has 4.56s and 4000 stall..as well as some weight reduction...but it shall be interesting.

4.56 are gears for real men! lol I'm just gonna go with the 4.10 because the cam kills my torque so I can't hardly use 6th anymore with 3.42s, and 4.10s should be perfect for the revs I want to turn through the traps also. Do you plan on going into OD on top end? That thing will sixty like crazy on slicks, geez 4.56x3.06= 13.95 overall first gear...

I need weight reduction on my car, it weighs 3,68x with me and a 3/4 full tank of gas. I have to take out the spare, jack, rear seat, stereo (who needs that crap with exhaust?) which should be good for 70 pounds or so. I also need to relocate battery to trunk, and weld in my subframe connectors. Then I'll be ready for racing. Too bad my DA in the summer will be like 4000 because it'll be 85* until 9 pm :( it was 38* tonight, car felt pretty freakin strong!

I'm gonna buy a set of draglites 15x3.5 and 15x10 to cut my raceweight to below 3600, but only if I can scrounge the money for a 9". Cars are expensive for an 18 year old.

just so you know, im not talking about an f-body, and i have found contrasting reports of what the first gear ratio is in a 727...but with the QTPs/3000/4.10s i was pulling consistant 1.70 short times, with a best of 1.67...when it ran 12.60s with that stuff, it had a track weight of 3692. i do not have overdrive, but i dont think that i will need it, because with the 4.10s and 26x11.5x15s i was shifting at 6200 coming through the top end shy of that, and my engine will rev well past 6500...when they tranny broke last year, it was right after an 8200+ rpm burnout...:)
