The Neverending Probelem UPDATED: drag racing stuff from wed

What did you run with that got a 11.xxx??

[hockeystyx16]

first run was against the red camaro in the 2nd picture. he ran a 13 something but i think he was off of it by 1/8 mile because his speed barely changed between 1/8 and quarter.
2nd pass was against an old malibu. the guy said it ran mid 12s, but timeslip doesnt like. 120 trap vs a 96 trap is quite a significant difference, he was gone so fast i didnt even catch up to him til the timeslip booth.

im on the right on both slips, car 263. 15.7 at 92 and 15.1 at 96

there were a lot of ridiculous fast cars there. probably half the cars there were 10 seconds and faster. some cobra ran a 8.9 pass, that was amazing. i was about 20 feet from it when it was doing the burnout, and exhaust was so loud all i heard was my ears ringing. most of those cars were running open headers, youd stand next to it idling and you could feel it like someone was punching you in the chest. its definitely a good time, gave me a new appreciation for drag racing. i thought i was gonna make an idiot out of myself with a 15 second car and 10 second cars everywhere around me, but most people i talked to were cool and gave pointers and stuff, talked about their cars, etc. it was a good time, highly recommended

Nice times for your first time to the strip! wow the second reaction time was mint, hope to see a high 14 next time

Probe looks nice without a parkbench. Thats all I see around here.

I think its one of the cooler looking cars from the era. Just the one with the worst name.

[Bawked]

Yea the probe does look good, I was going to get an kl-ze mx6 its sibling tho but wrong wheel drive stopped me. My mates probe just blew the head gasket....

I wonder how fast my pug would be. This 2.0 hdi runs 13:69 secs:

With 175 hp. Mine is completely stock, 90 hp 4 door, so just a tad slower probably.

[hockeystyx16]

damn that hdi moved out

[Leedeth]

Holy shit that 206 is really small.

Dude with 90 hp you're going to be running 17s. My MX-3 is about the same weight as the 206, 88 hp as well, and it runs 17.6.

me and a friend went and snapped some pics of my car the other day because we were bored. not really a project update but i might as well keep all my shit in my thread

lowered and still rocking the 4x4 status. it looked an inch lower with 30psi in the tires in race mode. fail




see thru hood, i like this one

[Leedeth]

I see you're rockin a Toledotuners badge.

Is that guy a pro photographer, because I see a custom signature on the pics.

[permabanned]

yup, repping the TT, sticker over the vin

as far as the professional photographer, do the pics look professional and does the logo look professional? there you go thats your answer right there. heres a more professional photographer, also a TT guy. this dude is cool as hell and amazing photographer too

this is also in the misc thread but to keep my crap in one thread for whoever cares and wants to see something in the future, im also posting it in here

i raced a cobalt SS/SC, the superchared one on sunday and won. we did 2 40 rolls, had him by a car both times, we ran til about 115-120

vids are up

damn 3rd gear jump, he had me by a fender at the top of 2nd, then i took off. shifting into the torque peak rpm ftw, literally


second race. i was poweshifting and you can hear my clutch hating me and hating life. doesnt grab hard enough to blow up transes, this is the tradeoff. ill take the not blowing up transes i like how i keep gaining on him while im shifting, powershifting tends to do that lol


and heres a random 3rd gear 60 roll against a natural aspirated cobalt. he got the jump on me but i came back and got him halfway thru 4th before we were coming up on the traffic ahead and had to cut it off

[Leedeth]

Awesome I can't think of anything more to say.
