well i got a 5.0 early..and beat him bad a 9.2 to something that looked like it approached a 10...then i approached several 99+GT's to get them to run me...appearently they didnt seem to want any the track was not hooking well at all but i still managed a 9.204...the GT guys were saying they were spining even in third...the best i ahd heard from him was a 9.5 but the best i saw posted while watching them run was a 9.7...so finally i got this one guy that I/ve seen out there acouple times before he had come up earlier and asked how i was doing and that the last time he had seen me run(old setup) i was doing 9.4...i told him i just ran a 9.3 and that a couple weeks back a 9.1...now he's a 99+GT with H pipe or X cant remember which chip ,K&N,flowmasters,tires,headers,everything but engine,work.oh yea gears...
so we line up didnt get my best light .640 he gets the advantage...shifts into second and here i come ..its about dead even 3/4's down the trac,,k im about 500 rpms away from my shift and he just dissapears...he says he was spinning in third...i thought he missed third...he says he's gone 8.90 before ,and that it was a bad night...last race for me, i raced a guy thats there every week him and his wife usually, he had a passenger, a 99+GT auto K&N and flowmasters thats it....he gave me the best run 9.234 but i did redlight .498 damn close he ran a 9.4 we were beside eachother halfway down then i just started pullin...

 

later that night on the way home i met the guy that drove a bone stock looking SUPRA in the outlaw division he ran a 7.47...him and his friend were very impressed with my car ,the one guys dad has one,they though i was spraying...they shit when i told them of the short block swap...imagine two guys driving a 760hp supra asking me about my car...they may stop by and post..p.s the supra guy says on better days he can go 6.9

 

You really need to take your car to a 1/4 track

 

not yet..that's only gonna get me a low14...i wanna wait untill im sure im in the 13's like if i go 8.99 then ill go down there again

 

you might as well go and give it a shot....by the way FASTVTECCL and I appreciate you coming over to the stang forum....we really need to all get together and mess up stangs

 

Funny, I have a slip right here of me driving a bone stock 00 GT to an 8.8/13.9.

 

funny i cant seem to find anyone else that can do the same...

 

That 99 GT driver needs some work......He had tons of mods and could barely pull on you. Then later in the night you ran a Vert Auto and he gave you a good run.

 

not a vert ...but a 9.2 to 9.4 well close enough

 

im just saying...ive only been draggin for less than a year in a car not made to drag, and what am i the best driver in the world? there's no dening these cars should beat me sometimes,but it for the most part it isnt happening...i did loose that night to a really bad bronco or something close to that...it had slicks and went 8 something

 

What track?

 

sunshine drag strip

 

apart of the bradenton motor sports complex

 

Friday here in NJ...

.502 light, 9.0 660'

.523 light, 9.0 660'

.6something ( I don't commit bad lights to memory), 9.0 660'

.7something light, 9.1 660'

.9ROFL light, spun and missed 2nd, 9.3 660'

and i found that all of my rear control arm bushings are shot...I'm thinking that's why my car slowed down..

14.1 - 14.2 1/4s all night, yuk

just wanted to share

 

sounds like we'd run neck and neck

 

Same here!!!!

 

Um, maybe that's cuz you're on an Acura board.

 

Yeah, I agree. There are plenty of lightly modded stangs on stangnet running in the 13's. My first time to the track I ran a 14 flat at 99.5mph (stock except for catback exhaust which is basically a sound mod).

But I can understand how you beat most stangs...cause, I beat most I come across too! Many people aren't driving to the car's potential.

This is why I love my stang...its definitely not the fastest but...its the benchmark of having a fast car..."I beat a stang!" everybody wants to beat one...lol I love beating cocky entry level luxury guys who want to have it all but...aren't quite there yet. (330ci,s4,e36m3,xk8,cls:P ,a4,i30,sts,dts,e430,clk430 and more to come... everybody wants some!...I respect the guys who know they have a "nicer" car and leave the drag racing to the boys with the toys...otherwise, I'm happy to show them their cars' limitations)

 

you're not understanding what im saying...i go to the track every week and there are plenty of mustangs ...except for the guys with helmets i cant seem to find any of these 8.8 1/8th mile guys they have excuses but no slips.
2k1 true blue if all you have is that borla exhaust id smoke ya...limit that

 

typeR what car do you have if you don't mind I ask

 

'01 acura cl type S with a stroked short block to 3.5 litres from 3.2 raised compression,long throw crank shorter rods doomed piston,headers,intake and most importantly tires toyo T1-S235/45 for now on stock wheels but shortly SSR comps (14.4lbs compared to 26)

 

If you're running a 13.9x you'll tie me. 13.8x or less you'll beat me... and yes borla exhaust and good tires are ALL I need for a 13.9.

Not sure how you'd "smoke me" unless you're 1/8 mile times translate to low-mid 13's in the quarter. Oh well, I don't want to argue it. Good job and nice mods.

 

no you're right im probablly right there with you..im just in a much hotter more humid environment...i should go 8.9** by next month...

here's and old time slip. It looks like you would beat me in the 1/8 if you're running less than 9sec. But thats before I got better tires. I'm pretty sure I can launch better now. Anyway, this discussion is rather pointless. Try and find a stock stang who has $$$ invested in rear tires (drag radials) and see how he runs. Tires are very important...I'm sure you know this.

 

looks like i would have beat you by about .400 somebody was sleepy that day

 

here's mine

 

Ha...It was my first time at the track...I didn't know that you left the line BEFORE you saw green.LOL!

 

lol...hard to convince yourself thats what you have to do...

 

I'm gonna break 13s Friday...wish me luck!

 

LOL....you talk a lot of smack for not having an 8 second slip, ;et alone a full 13 sec pass.

Hell, you picked a bad slip for him and he still has your 1/8 topped. RT means nothing to me unless you are bracket racing. alomst all mine are 1.000ish as that gives me the best rhythm for cutting a good 60.

 

apperantly you didnt look good...as of 11/7 i went 8.969 @ 79.35...2.089 on street tires

 

and that's the only slip he gave me access to ....now does 8.969 give me 13 in your eyes?...it's close for sure...but i looked at doug's slips from running another 3.5 and he went 9.19* to a 14.1

 

8.9 is a 13.9

 

it's all speculation until you make the 100 mi. journey

 

thing is matt it just doesnt matter to me...it'll be for you guys when i go...ill wait untill i get my SSR's and the weather will be consistantly cooler...i enjoy the hell out of my local 1/8th mile and really it's probablly more the equivalant of a street race...but ill give you guys a 13 .7-8 or so to hang your hats on
