This guy i know from college seems very intent on racing me...since he's almost certain theres not a snowballs chance in hell that I could even keep up with him...my tiny engine and all. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif



As far as I know he's running a pretty much stock car...sounds like it might have an exhaust system on it...but the way dude talks he hasn't done anything under the hood...I don't think he knows how...seems like he pays people to change his wiper blades and bulbs https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png



THe firebird has an automatic as i mentioned in my description...and it still has a/c on the car https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png



I'm running a 12A from atkins rotary, 4bbl Nikki modified by Paul Yaw...which also has larger jets, No emissions on the engine, no cats...straight pipe from "header" back to a glass pack...i've taken out a bunch of useless crap...like the air pump...a/c....should shave some weight off



Dude is claiming he pulled an 11.8 @ 1/4 mile...but somehow i'm doubting that...and he's also supposed to have some sponsors or something...it'd really be funny if I stomped his butt in front of em :P



so u guys think i should give him a run for his money??

still havn't seen what my car can do on a track

falcoln0014 05-23-2004 09:56 PM

what what WHAT....i knew arkansas sucked...but this track isn't even a real track

its a 1/8 mile run instead of a 1/4



very strange...very strange...unless this is just something i've never heard of...

but any time I hear someone talking about racing on the track they talk about running a quarter...an eight...that doesn't even sound cool :P

if you race him, don't do it for money just for fun. either way, it'd let you know what your car stands up to.

11.8 on a stock auto v6...lol...riiiiight

BrandonDrecksage 05-23-2004 09:59 PM

maybe he meant 11.8 in the 1/8 mile

falcoln0014 05-23-2004 10:04 PM

it wasn't going to be for money...i'm all about the fun of the sport :P

just kept it on the street until now...track might be more fun

and less likely to get me pulled over



and yes... 11.8 in the 8th

which I don't know about you...but that seems freakin slow

falcoln0014 05-23-2004 10:58 PM

crap...nevermind...have to have a "legal exhuast system"



theres no way I can even remotely qualify as legal with straight exhaust and a glass pack



speaking of my exhaust system...I posted an mp3 clip of it in the downloads section...and it told me that it would have to be approved...



if anyones reading this that can ...approve it for me https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Ummm... Those trannies are meant for torque. That motor = no torque = slow.



I think it'd be a good race but I think you'll take him in the 1/8th for sure.

what kinda track doesnt allow exhaust mods?

falcoln0014 05-23-2004 11:46 PM

the crappy arkansas kind??

their page said that each car must have a "legal exhaust system"...but I guess that could mean many different things



but judging by the fact that they didn't even bother to make it a REAL 1/4 mile track...



I think i'll look for a different track https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png
