I was hanging out with some friends and this T/A comes cruising thruogh looking for a race. Idon't normally play with V8's but I said screw it because I was board. We chase him down and get him to race. 1st race I launch at 3300, spin a little but still manage to stay ahead by about 3/4 of a car, shift to 2nd and we stay the same, hit 3rd (hear aloud pop, threw a flame) and pul like a mother fucker on him. I pulled about 4-5 cars on him. By the time we finished I had him by about 6 cars. Second race was me, him, and my friend in his Sentra SER. We all launched and they both took me out of the hole because I spun like I was on ice. Hit second still spinning but amnage to get about even with them. Hit third and realled them in and past them. Hit 4th and finished with about 1/2 a car on the T/A and 1 car on the Sentra. I know the second race makes the 1st look like a bullshit story, but it's true. The second race I spun alot(lot of gravel on the road). BTW Vosko the Kumho 712s really do hook up well for my second gen. :bigthumg:

Forgot to mention that the T/A was an automatic, totally stock, and I think the driver was drunk. Also I was running 10psi and the Sentra was decently moded.

cool, i was thinking about using those tires too, they're inexpensive. I wanna try atleast 255s though https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png o ya good kill, what was done to this sentra, aren't those slow ass cars????

elliot, let me know if u need tires, ill get wholesale prices. just have to pay the shipping to u

You didnt mention what year Trans Am, only the newest ones are marginally fast.

i forget what year it ws, either 85-87, but still do date, fastest trans am ever made. The one with the stock GNX motor in it. 0-60 in like 4.3 stock. i met a guy with one of those, so sweet.

It was a newer T/A. Without the WS6 package or ram air. I think it was like a 99, but I'm not sure.

Thats the 1989 20th Anniversary edition Trans Am, I think if you raced a SLP Firehawk against one the newer one would win, the SLP Firehawk has almost a 100hp advantage over the 1989.

the firehawk has around 340 hp depending on what options it has. its problyalmost as fast as a c5 vette... just wont handle as well

i have the toyo t1s's and they stick real well but they are expensive but my mom got me 50% off https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

yeah i think that SLP series or model was like the t2 of rx7s. bigger brakes more power and what not

Just wanted to say that I lined them up and when the hands came down and I looked back the rx7 was kicking ass. :bigthumg:

AHHHHH that's so sweet.........https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Anybody that i might know? How are you liking the Kumho's. It's such a good feeling isn't it. well i guess your cherry has been offiicially popped.

Nice kill man! I lost to my friends 89 camaro RS V8 in my 86 N/A , I wish I was turbo charged, but he didn't beat me by much, just two cars length. But my 3rd gen kicked his ass allright.

what? how the hell did that happen? don't the rs's have 6 cylinders and the 80's have like under 200 hp at 3600lbs? did he transplant or have any mods?

In thelate 80's and early 90's you could order them with the 305ci v8.

I took out a WS-6 the other night. Makes it the 3rd one on my kill list. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

That's not to hard for a 3rd gen depending on the T/A's mods. Try doing it with a 2nd gen. Good kill though.

I would have never gotten close in my '86 GXL. I want a S5 TII soooo badly. :redface:

the guy i bought my gtu from said he beat the occasional new v8 camaro and mustang... some of them cant drive for ****. the guy i got the car from is an exceptional driver... he ony sold the rx cuz he bought some kind of topline sport bike... i guess a 15000 redline beats 8000... oh well

Those 80's camaros are slow as ****. the 305 v8s had 170-190hp with 3400-3600lbs. 0-60s in those have to be in the 9-10s, stock. an n/a rx7 should be able to beat one, if it has good compression.

yeah in the 80's the mustang was faster consistently... although it all reversed in the 90's
