(all speeds simulated)

Motorsports Forum is a dead area so I thought I would post this here...



Ok, so we went from a dig and I knew he would have the advantage, and he did...

This guy can launch pretty damn good too... So we had a chase car do the 3 honk right behind us...

1st run he jumps the start and took me by a car length.

2nd run, he takes me off the line pretty good and had a 1 1/2 car jump on me by the middle of 2nd, by 3rd I started to reel him in and in 4th I was right at his back 1/4 panel and he shuts it down at 120 ish... I was like WTF you shut her down as I was pullin you in, he said he was gettn sketchy at that speed... I told him on the next run not to shut her down until at least 140ish and he agrees...

3rd run, I get a frickn good start right at the 3rd honk and he boggs it missn a shift and shuts it down so I slow up and we line up again...

Ok, so now we both get a great start and he has me off the line (of course). This time he has me just by about a car and I stay right on his ****... I hit the rev limiter from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd which gave me a hick up... I do not shift in MM as I have found the Auto to work well... (I need to get the VB upgrade now)... Ok so he picks up 1/4 more on me cuz of that and in the middle of 3rd I start to pull him in again... As I hit 4th I am on his back 1/4 panel again and pass him right at about 125 at 140 when we shut it down I had 2 to 3 cars on him at the end (not sure when he shut her down tho)... When I reeled him in and finally passed him I went by him pretty quickly. Got a Video floating around somewhere I will try and track down.

Was a frickn GOOOOD match up and we had a great time... I hit 9.2 PSI and he was hittn 14.5 with his new boost controller and TT... He also has down pipes and an intake which I found out tonight...

Time for me to get a 2.8 pulley and see what happens (I am running a 3.12 now)

Went the track after that and ran a 13.395 @ 105 w/ a 2.1 60...

I got to get to the track more, it was my 1st time out there so my reaction time sucks.... LOL.... I ran against a fully built Talon which ran a 12.283 @ 113... He was fast and had a reaction time of .010 to my .3

My best reaction time of the night was .185 but ran a 13.598 on that run do to spinning pretty good on my launch.

P.S. the 3000GT VR4 ran a 12.8 last night at the track so yeah, he is pretty darn quick



I do not know to much about the 1/4 as it was my 1st time.... Is a 13.3 a decent time???

Thanks, I am happy overall

 

that's awsome art, i'd love to see that vid if you can find it ... once you have that 2.8 pulley in there and have more track experience you should be in the high 12's

 

Nice run, you also have weight on your side. I never managed to get 12.8 in my VR4 with just a boost controller and a few intake mods

 

actually weight was about even he is around 3800, and I am about 3500 and with my 2 10w6's and 2 JL amps w/ 21" monitor and a trunklid full of crap I would add around 300 to my weight...

 

Thanks

I was hoping to hit 12's last night but hittn the rev limiter slowed me down a tad, I need that VB from Sharif soon to quickn my shifts... That with the "non-slip" 2.8 pulley should help alot..... Hmmmmmmmmm 100 wet shot off the line maybe as well???

 

He must have also been on his stock mini 9b turbos. When I had my Vortech I still could not keep up with my VR4 (too much lag), one reason why I went TT on my G also.
Keep up the good work.

 

i would hope that with pulling over 400rwhp.. 12's should be easily attainable especially w/ a 2.1 60ft..

 

Me too... but I think my weight w/ my stereo set up in the trunk might hold me up a bit... Not sure since it was my 1st time ever at the track.

I had a 2.147, 2.315 and a 2.375 60 ft last night I did 3 runs... I also ran a 13.5 and a um... crappy one due to too much spinning in 1st gear, that was fun tho

 

Yeah, that was a good race Art . I have the video on my camera but I am still trying to figure out how to get it online. Can someone lead my to a video hosting site so I can post it for you guys?

By the way, 13.3 is pretty good but all of the weight you have is really holding you back. If you put on the stock wheels, take out your stereo, and get the VB upgrade I can guarantee that you will get into the 12's . Just my 2 cents...

 

Alright guys, here is the infamous video of the race:

Sweet Vid man, thanks for posting it up!!

Ohh, he's coming.... Oh, he's not coming, Oh he's coming!! had me cracking up

That VR4 is quick of that line!

 

His gearing is not the best for the 120+ speeds where you caught him. those were 5 speed manuals right?

Cool runs. It would take a lot for you to catch him at the track with the Vortech, especially if he's just starting his mods on that thing.

 

Actually mine is an Auto his was a MT.... On the 1st launch you can actually hear me bounce off the rev limiter for a sec.

 

whoa nice vids! looks like fun
