Yeah, sorry about that shaking.

Woulda been a lot better if I was filming, but then..

Thanks guys..

 

Nice vids Sauce!

 

Can't see the vids at work. Have to wait to get home.

Sauce, what kind of teg was it you raced?

 

that xrs got

 

It was a 2G teg. LS or something.

No challenge there, but the guy wanted to race and get me racing, so I played along.

 

dang. that was a kill and a half hahaha.

good job man sauce

 

Nice kill on the Corolla Sauceman

That's really cool how you have some video clips!

 

Damn Sauce can you come out here and take my TSX down the track....I bet you could break into 14's with it lol. Either that or teach me what you know lol..Dzuy you down to come learn from sauce?? I am lol.

 

Gee, I

I guess the werd is practice, practice, practice.

I also have the advantage that I nearly live in my car, so I know the car pretty well. I guess it might give me a break with my launches.

 

sauce, vs. CTS it seems like you won. you had a bad start but you caught up. good jobb

 

Actually, the vid is a little deceiving. I was dead even at the start with the CTS, but then he inched away at me.

We ended the race , I was at his back bumper.

I was somewhat bummed, because if I hadn't messed up the first race, I would've had him. But at least, the second race was maybe more representative of what the CTS could do, and after thinking about it, there's hardly anything wrong with losing a race against a RWD 285hp car by just a car's length.

I did however have slightly too much wheelspin. Track surface was cooling.

 

quick question, not trying to thread jack just curious about this.
earlier in the thread it says to spin the tires, i dunno if im doing anyhting wrong but i cant seem to get them to break loose other than making my self look like an ass... should i have the ebrake on? i just dont think the car has enough torque before the rev-limiter hits. i do the power braking and hit the rev limiter, and just smashing the gas doesnt do it either (all with VSA off of course) the only way i really get the tires to break loose is to cruise into a turn n just hit the gas halfway through the tires break look.
please help a noob out!
i wanna see if i can get this down so i dont look stupid at the track

 

but you kept up which is amazing, was he not that good of a driver?
you make this seem very easy and the tsx very quick

 

Yea Sauce I wanna have your driving skills...thats real

 

I don't know the guy, so it's very hard for me to judge on his driving skills. I can say this however, it's that based on his run with the Corolla XRS and then after on my two following runs, the guy was doing slightly better with each run.

See this video of the CTS vs Corolla XRS I filmed before racing them: http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=CTS-vs-Corolla-XRS

 

i see what you mean...
eh everythings with practice.

hmmm is it common for people on street tires to burn out? cuz it didnt look like either one did. how would i go about properly doing that on the TSX?

 

You shouldn't burn out your stock tires. Won't do any good. I didn't even stage them. Just lowered to 25PSI, that's all.

 

Good job!
Did I miss something?!?!?!
Where's the vid's?

 

Oops, lookup above about ten comments, forget my last comment...
Good job man...

 

ooh so just power brake until the green light comes on? (basically let off the brake quickly?)

 

Just launch your car at a higher rpm and feather the gas, if you do it right you should burn out...

 

thats the thing with your foot on the brake i think the rev limiter is at 3000 rpm, so theres little torque there. how long of a burn out are we talking too, like little churp or something more noticible

 

You want to get to the peak torque as quickly as possible, but then again, you want to be at your peak torque with full grip to the ground too, because if not, you lose power.

So basically you want your wheels to spin to 4000-4500, but not much more.

 

sounds about right, but is that possible with the brake on, i dont remmeber the rev limiter being that high. should i put the e-brake on too? (those lock up the rear wheels i beleive)

 

Nice videos sauceman.

 

Yes, it might help, but you need to drop it as soon as you launch.

But I don't know the characteristics for an AT TSX such as rev limiter, etc.

 

are scion tc's faster than corolla's?

b/c i burned one bad at a ~15 mph roll.

 

Thanks man!

 

No idea whatsoever. No Scions in

 

then you are a lucky one my freind. i feel like theres a nanny watching my transmission, hell just let me have abit of fun n keep me from blowing it up.
beh what can you do

 

hey SAUCEMAN i think i saw you last year at napierville i had the silver 3.2cls and you were with your friend that had the is300 although im not to certain it was you. i think i ran with you once or twice if it was you. anyway nice vids

 

Not by too much. I drove a Scion the other day and was not exactly impressed. It drives like a Toyota, sorry to say...

 

That wasn't me.

My buddy didn't bring his car along that night. He raced a few times with mine.

And I don't remember racing a CLS then either, although on some runs I barely noticed who I was running against, I was too concentrated!

 

what car does your Friend have?

 

A Civic EF with a B18 swap turboed at 14PSI.

 

285 hp RWD American muscle vs 200 hp FWD TSX. You just made my day.






If only you had a 5AT, you could have probably made up that car length.

 

Thats some impressive driving sauceman... You hung in with RWD pretty good. If i never saw that footage I'd say the caddy wins hands down.

 

JLavino: Thanks!

 

Its actually 255HP.

 

Just curious sauce'... what's your best e.t. to date?
