So get this im coning back from this place i do volentary work at called "Spooky house" its a haunted attraction during month of october, to make a long story short im sitting at light and a mustang i see pulls up on side of me starts reving at the light so i go for it problem i lost cause i had not even a hope for traction with my set-up you can see on my sig ANYONE!?!?!? I NEED STREET TIRES THAT HOOK!!!!! SOMONE HELP! at the moment i have some nice bridestones on front i have 16 inch rims..

 

WTF SOMONE HELP A GUY OUT! LOL

 

yeah those stock b16's really throw down the thunder....[&:]

 

Ok well first off, i hate to tell you, but you're acting like you are puttin some crazy horse power down with "i had not even a hope for traction with my set-up" Second of all, street racing is stupid, save it for the track. you shouldnt need really good perfomance tires for racing on the street. so stop being a newb a race where it's legal. you are gonna injure yourself or someone else street racing. its stupid. period

 

......dont drop the clutch............its not the tires fault, its all about timing.............

 

There is a tire review thread at the top of this forum

 

Yea man, racing a mustang in a170hp civic, your problem must have been traction, I mean come on, the civic is clearly the winner in that race on a normal day... LMAO!

Take it to the track and learn how to launch, Then, KEEP IT AT THE TRACK!

 

ur gena lose traction unless ur on likeslicks...i do with a stock motor, Azenis and hardly droping the clutch at ~2500...theres a bunch of other factors thatcome into play.weather, pavement, tire specs, pressures, etc..

 

why does everyone laugh when a b16a2 goes againsed a mustang i mean come on i weight like 2300 pounds and the mustang weighs like 3500??? i mean come on if anyone here knows it about power-to-weight ratio. and who says the motors is stock? and im on a good tune. i mean lets be real here a bone stock mustang, the guy worked with me

 

you want a good power/weight ratio? Buy a sportbike. My CBR600 throws down close to 100hp at the rear wheel and it weighs under 400lbs. You might weigh half a ton less than the Mustang (drag racer's rule of thumb: for every 100lbs you lose off the car, your 1/4 mile time will drop by 1/10 a second. So pretty much, if your cars produced the same amount of power, your car would be 1 second faster than the mustang), but the Mustang still has a fairly large power advantage to even things up.

And everyone's laughing because you were acting like you had the most badass car ever built. Throw a built K20/K24 frankenstien swap in and turbo it, and then you'll have "not even a hope for traction". My friend's p.o.s. '98 cavi (stock motor) can spin the tires through 1st gear if he drops the clutch.
