No I have heard of those, but look at FR cars in their cost range...
compare performance....
Their 1/4 mile times are nothing to be impressed by.

[semvhu]

Look at my previous post and you'll see that I agreed with you.

Although the heavyweights aren't that impressive in the 1/4 mile category, I've seen videos of Civics running 10's and 9's. Somehow I doubt any Civic in GT4 can run 9's.

While my 1984 Oldsmobile Toronado probably ran 17's at 80 mph, it was a dang comfortable car that would knock any little Civic out of its way.

GTrackd02, sorry for the off topic, but your car sounds fantastic. Being stuck here in england, i don't get to see any kind of muscle very often, and my god, what a noise.
as a question, i noticed your 8 is a 281 cu in? whats that in good old litres?

Thanks for the compliment, as semvhu stated its 4.6l of fury!!!!

I love the sound, but also hate it.....
On the road at about 70mph you cannot hardly talk to someone next to you..
But at the same time, when i am by myself, i love to just hear it!....

Oh and GImme a TVR over the stang anyday.....

Finally i hav done it my suby can run consistant high nines. My fastest to date is a 9.941 with nos and a 2nd gear launch

[oil_injected]

boomboy....... that is a great time for your first run.

but my calculations show that you have a grand total of $ 30,072? also did you change the oil in the car? it only cost $50 to do it and it usually gives your car an extra 10 and 50hp.

Oh my bad. i must hav added it up wrong or something.

[boomboy]

Is anyone going to make up a table for the times

[Eveek]

Did some minor tuning and also finally had chance to buy an DFP
Now my TVR Griffith runs 1/4 @ 11.922 without NOS

[semvhu]

Nooooooooooo!!!!! Dang your TVR and its performance!!!! LOL Excellent time! I don't think I can beat that. At least my American muscle held its own, though. Maybe I need to be on the lookout for one of them thar TVR's....

boomboy, check out the very first post. There's a link at the bottom where he's keeping up with the times.

Why? Well, gee... you are carrying an _explosive device_ at very high speeds. It's amazing to me that these things are legal to carry on the street.

- Skant

Um, nitrous isn't even flammable, much less explosive.

It's extremely flammable. How do you think it would have been any use in the engine if it ain't doing anything else than lower the explosion pressure.

I have filled enough nitrous bottles to know it has a non-flammable sticker right on it.

It lowers the intake mixture temperture to create a more dense air fuel mixture. Hense more air/fuel in the same space=bigger bang.

Mazda RX-7 Type RS (FD) '96 (black) - FR class

Ran a 13.661 without NOS

I finally broke into the 11's! 11.598 with the RX-7 with nos (hooray for weight ballast!)

[boomboy]

I thought i would try something a bit diiferent:

Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon GTB 94
Price ; $9265 - 75935km

Oil - 50
Sport Exhaust - 1550
Computer chip - 1250
Nos - 5000

Turbo stage 1 - 4600
Weight reduction 1 - 1100
Weight reduction 2 - 5300

Total = $29115

Fastest Run to date - 10.965 with NOS

I believe that it is the quickest AWD wagon so far.

[boomboy]

I moving on to the ff cars. does any one hav any good settings for a 95 eclipes.

[semvhu]

I have some good settings (so far) for the Eclipse. It took me awhile to get those times, so I ain't telling what I did.
