Fine, Mantis, but stay away from my car, she's only 3,500 miles old...

Oh Ya. I was up at Imsport last night and the Tiburan Hyuda(sp) group that hangs up there is goin to the track tomorrow also.
My Korean is really bad. Pat had just finished a Alpine supercharger install on on of those Korean Cars. $2700 for the supercharger + install. About a 45hp gain.

FI on a Korean engine makes me go "Hmmm..." I wonder how long that'll last. I also wonder what an S/C on a Tiburon GT will do in the 1/4. 15.0s maybe?

Well I see all you lazy bastards are still asleep. I am off to the track. I will have my cell on 972-743-0674. I better see you guys out there. At least we will have a 35mph tail wind. That means I should do about 125mph in the 1/4 RIGHT?

I went to the Stars game last night with my girlfriend. We had tickets in a upper box and a gold parking pass. Great game, wonderful food, easy in, easy out, blah blah blah. To be honest, I am happy I got to enjoy the box, but I have a lot more fun in the seats. I lived in Finland for a year and watched a lot of hockey, and also have seen a lot of minor league hockey in Spokane when I lived there. Gotta be in the roudy section...

people are pussies at the stars games. There are no fans there, it's now just something to take your girlfriend to on a date. Last time I was there my drunk buddies and I tried to get a "Wild Sucks!" chant going (they were playing minnesota). But everyone there just looked at us like we were stupid. The cowboys game is a different story, people come to play there. At the eagles game we had the whole section chanting "eagles suck! eagles suck!" it was great!

Well what a bunch of no show pussys.:ghey: You fags missed a really good day at the track. You could run as much as you like the lines where really short and I knocked another .2 off my best time and added 2 mph to my best speed. Lots of Nissan guys there and the Hyundi guys showed up about 3:pm. There was even a Full out Dragster that shut off 3/4 down the track and ran a low 6. The worst part was the wind but it was still all good.

I guesss I am the track King.

R/T....704 No Tree just stage and Go.
They did turn on the Speeds and Times after 3pm. I don't know why they waited till the end of the day.

1/8....9.996@72.42
1/4....15.459@91.09

Good job, Bluesman. I wish I was there to work on my launch, but I was spending money at North Park Mall instead...

Nice runs Bluesman! What were your times when you first hit Ennis? You've taken a full second off, haven't you?

I think the lower humidity made the diff. It was about 58% when I made my best run.

Yea DeezNutz, from stock 1 second and only $1K. Man HP and Mhp are expensive!

Sure is fun though!

Sounds like you had a good time Bluesman...

Sorry I couldn't go... I was busy studyin
My 4th gen buddies put our car to shame runnin high 15s
but one of our guys ran a 14.9 with a simple pop charger and he's the guy I run neck and neck with
one of our 5th gen guys ran a 14.2 spinning with a trap of 99mph
if he had hooked up he would have been in the 13s... NA baby!

that night I played with some of my specV buddies and got my a$$ handed to me... my car has been runnin horribly slow lately. looks like my cat is clogged up

oh well... time to get that bastard fixed and get into the 14s!

so did I which made me laugh even harder at it... but then i went on chevy's site this morn to verify and the Monte Carlo SS and the Supercharged SS are two different trims

oh well... I didn't get a good look at it, but i'd figure it was the SS. The NA is 200hp, so it kinda figures...
