Okay, okay,

Mantis now has the "offical" fastest time in the group and possibly the DFW area.

But only because I wasn't there. :P And as soon as Inferno gets those hot wheels he'll be whipping up on me for a change. :P

And yes yes yes . . . the sound of the Icebox is sweet.

Well, I didn't get to the track, but I did get out and play a little bit.

On the menu Saturday night was a Lexus SC430.

We went at it 4 times and I took all 4 without any problems. Other than I hit the rev-limiter 3 of the times. :rolleys: I must have been too excited to finally catch up with a top end Lexus I just couldn't control my self.

Anyway, I took him twice from 50MPH, once from a dead stop and once from 30MPH. The ones from 50MPH were the closest with me pulling just about a car length to 90MPH.

As you guys would have guess, I ate his lunch off the line. I pulled him a car length by time I hit 40MPH and by 70MPH I had him by almost 1 1/2+ car lengths.

On the menu for Sunday afternoon was a 3.5 V6 Altima. The dude didn't know who he was jackin with. Since he started it, I finished it .

The guy wouldn't play from a start or from 30, so I settled for 3 runs around 45-50MPH. Well, he was quick, but not quick enough. Seemed easier than the SC430, but because of a slightly twisty road I had to watch the road more and could look back in my mirror long enough to see how I was pulling away.

So while this wasn't the drag strip, it was good fun as 2 of the competitions fastest cars went down.

BluesMan . . . That is RED HOT

Thanks Ruf. I hope to get a CAI inthere before we go back to the dyno. Are we shooting for any certain date?

 

 

nice kills RUF, I never find anyone willing to race.

 

what did 360 and Hanzie run Fri.? and anyone else that went...

 

Yeah she does have a thing for black guys, hehe. Yeah she is a cutie

 

my fastest was a 14.568

 

i was goin faster each time down the track. My first run, i smoked the clutch BAD!!! hahaha and ran a 18.11

But i let her cool off and started up and started kickin. Emily said she would go again when it got warmer. The only good thing about that is she wont be wearin soo much clothes haha. She was the Big Marshmellow!

 

Good kills, Ruf. I've read about CL-S's going against the SC430's and doing pretty well. I can't believe how heavy those beauties are for their size. Must be the convertible and loaded-up features.

Only cars I ever see wanting to play seem to be 1999+ Mustangs. I typically leave them alone.

 

Thanks, and yes, they are heavy, but they have lots more HP/tq than we do.

As for the 99 and newer Stangs, go ahead and play. With your mods you should be able to hang with the stock ones. Especially if the driver is slow. I've played with several and most were close races. I even managed to beat a couple who could launch their manuals.

Remember what you learned at the track, specs mean nothing in a real world race. It all comes down to the driver.

360, you wouldn't happen to have been in town because of a pool tournament would you.....?

I saw a silver CL (didn't stare long enough to see if it was type S or not) with reflective tint and it looked dropped at the North American Challenge Billiards Tournament. I'm just curious because most of the true mod crazy ppl in dallas that own Acura TL/CL's have at least once posted here.

Oh well, I did crappy in the tourney as expected, but that's what I get for not playing for a number of months.

 

I'm down for Friday boys. I've got a lot of frustration from this weekend built up and speed usually can calm me down .

On top of playin bad in the tourney, my car got towed from Lower Greenville Saturday night! I must say that walking out to your car and having it not be there is a very scary feeling.....

But needless to say a couple of hours and $186.06 later, I had my car back in my possession.

In short, let's go racin on Friday!

 

count me out ladies

FYI(mantis): Emily has a boyfriend, hehe (sorry dude)

 

Looks like I've been outrun. Nice time Mantis.

 

That sux Casper! What the hell did you get towed for?

 

I was parked in the Taco Cabana parking lot.... apparently there is an undercover cop that sits in the adjacent parking lot and watches for cars and then reports them and THEN gets a cut back. Oh well.... fuckers!

 

What was the temp/humidity like last Friday night?

 

Casper, that fuckin sux man. Sorry to hear about that.

 

hi

 

The temp was way too cold to do this or this and the humidity was i guess almost nothing so your hair didnt do this

hahahahaha

Don't knock the french. They gave us cheez-whiz.

 

Sorry about the tow Casper. I hate those guys, its a real racket. They make big money doin that. Last time I got hit in Houston. Parked in a restraunt that was closed and they still towed me. Fuckers. Call the towing company every day around 5pm and tell um your broke down on 75 north untill you feel satisfied. Call from a pay phone.

 

I like the idea.

 

That does bite the big one! Especially knowing how hard it is to save up for mods.

Ruf

 

I hate those towing bastards!

Those idiots towed my car from my apts and I didnt' realize it until a month later. Needless to say, I let them keep the car because they wanted $745 fuckin' dollars to get my car back. Man, I'm still pissed about that one.

 

you aren't talkin about the protege are you..?!?!?!

 

Well, they took my protege(91) which I owned. Then I bought my sister's protege(94) when she got a new car.

 

got my headers today. Now I get to do more waiting. I'm sitting here watching my neighbors house, I'm gonna jump him when he gets home.

 

So, what's the count for Friday night so far?
Casper
Inferno
DeezNutz
???????

 

I'm working on a kitchen pass, but I need more details as to what time.

Also, Bluesman, do you think the guy with the SC430 will come out and play with the little guys?

Ruf

 

I wanna go, but i dont wanna drive an hour and a half..

 

It's only about 40 mins longer than me and about 30 or less than Inferno's drive.

The only down side is if only a few of us show up. So check back and then decided.

Ruf

 

I can't make it, gotta spend time with a lady friend before she goes outta town.

 

haha trust me, its an hour and a half, i drive through Ennis all the time on my way home... Its ALMOST a halfway point for me.

 

I think perhaps you misunderstood.

It takes me 45-50 mins with no traffic and longer with.

Inferno is 10-15 minutes further north than I am, so it would tak him 55 mins to an hour.

Note: I live in Plano and Inferno lives in McKinney. Not Dallas. Dallas is 20 miles from where I live.

Ruf

 

Come on DeezNutz, I saw you prowling the board. Get in here and push it over 4000!
