Ninety3Z 08-15-2003, 03:18 AM so today i was drivin home after goin out with this one girl...i dropped her off, cought some food with some friends, then proceeded to drive home. as im driving i see an explorer drive up and flash his highbeams at me, and im thinkin "holy sh!t, is he serious" so i happen to catch him at the next signal and i look over at him with a "you cant be serious" kinda look. the light turns green, he takes off...i laugh..then go for it and totally own the explorer. i slow down, do the ricer hazard thing...and then he comes right up on my a$s, and wants MORE...we go from at about a 40 mph roll and once again, i hit the hazards. i let him pass with my hazards still on and just looked down when he passed me. i was amazed that he actually wanted to race...
i KNOW their are more wierd race stories out their...
HardcoreRM125 08-15-2003, 02:16 PM 92 3.1 Camaro VS a 92-95 ??? Saturn SL2 ( Is that the 4 door model ? ) At anyrate, these kids im friends with decided to race and suprisingly the Saturn beat the Camaro, however i dont know how many ppl were in the cars at the time or anything like that i wasnt there, i jsut heard that the kid got OWNED ... lol
Then the Camaro raced a 93 or 94 Cutless Supreme with the 3.4 DOHC , like 210 hp i think ? And he totally got toasted ... By 65 he had at least 4 car lengths on the camaro if not more ...
Cutlass Supreme VS. 2K2 LS1 Ram Air Trans Am ... Cutlass rolls up next to trans am ( A guy he works with, actually his manager at McDonalds lol ) throws him a few revs ( Only to 3000 cause in nuetral it has a 300 Rev Limiter ) the Trans Am guy looks over and luaghs , doesnt take him serious at all , Light turns green and the Cutlass floors it, the Trans Am guy is like WTF i guess lol , so he nails it and TOTALLY DECIMATES us in the Cutlass, it was fun though...
O and I raced the Cutlass Supreme kid, he was driving his moms Cutlass Sierra ( Cause his was in the shop, timing belt took a ****, so they burned him like clsoe to 1000$ to fix it ) and i was in my moms Shadow cause my Camaro STILL isnt done lol ... But thats just cause i had a major eye injury (Lacrosse ball launched from a Lax Team kid at full blast from like 5 feet away ... Lucky to still have that eye actually ) and couldnt work on it for like a month and a half ... So at anyrate, in a straight line he destroyed me haha , but then he came around a bend jsut about lsot it and i passed him and he couldnt take the turns as fas
KeVMaN 08-15-2003, 02:33 PM I've raced ford broncos and HUGE lifted chevys. I don't know why they even try. We both have 350s... my car weighs 3400 pounds. your truck weighs 6000. Doesn't take a genius to figure out the outcome. Some guy in a big dodge 4x4 was revving. I wasn't gonna think anything of it, but when the light turned green he lit up the tires and took off. I take off normally like... okay.... so we get to the next light, and I see he's got his girl in the truck (automatically have to race at this point).So he yells out "lets see what that little Z28 can do" kinda laughin.. so I say i'll race you to 60 but I don't want to get a ticket. I stall up to the best of my abilities, and take off. Perfect traction. I've never launched that hard in my life. When I hit 60 i'm a good 10 cars ahead. I slow back down and the guy drives by w/ this stupid look on his face
PoloGreen 3.4 08-15-2003, 02:41 PM if a POS cutlass around the same year as my 3.4 camaro has 210 HP, and stock my 95 3.4 is pushing 160....how did the cutlass end up with 210??? its a grandma car!
91_z28_4me 08-15-2003, 03:10 PM the 3.4 in a Cutlass is a DOHC or TDC 3.4 and they can be really fast. Your Camaro 3.4 is the pushrod version.
amean94ta 08-15-2003, 10:20 PM my little bro has a 91 cutlass ciera with a 200 hp series 2 3800 and runs 14.5's in the 1/4 i love seeing him smoke people in that thing it was my winter beater before the escort gt
HardcoreRM125 08-16-2003, 09:33 PM Yea , GrandMa's car got some major nuts too it lol ... its a 3.4 DOHC ... 24 Valve, its pretty weak down low but around 4K it starts pullin good. Its actually a kinda fun car to bum aorund in. Rides nice and smooth, really roomy, and got some balls too it.

Yeah, I don't know what it is with these morons, especially with the huge lifed Chevys. They think they are so fast and bada**! I used to beat most of them in my '90 Toyota 4x4, extracab, V6 5-speed! That supid Toyota was slow as ba**s.

yea I guess the 500 pounds of rotating mass their tires add slow them down a bit

i agree, those supercharged 3800 gtp's dont even run a 14.5
HardcoreRM125 08-18-2003, 11:24 PM Cutlass Sumpremes with the 3.4 are like 200 or 215 HP and weigh about the same, theyre like a low 16 sec car ...
amean94ta 08-20-2003, 05:28 PM does not matter. bs flag me all you want. its in the driveway right now
PoloGreen 3.4 08-20-2003, 05:46 PM its not the fact that you own it or not, its the fact that it runs 14.5...i for one will give you a few :bs::bs::bs::bs:

Bone stock it runs 14.5, NOT!!!!! :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs:
HardcoreRM125 08-20-2003, 11:56 PM Could you even get a Cutlass Sierra in 91 with that engine stock? I thought you could only get the 3.1 and 3.4 not the 3800 series ... And the 3.4 is about the same horsepower as what you stated the 3800 in that is. The 3.4 is 210 HP, and the car is like 3800Lbs? I think, at anyrate, A Cutlass with 200ish horsepower will run low 16's
HardcoreRM125 08-20-2003, 11:59 PM O and actually put in the Cutlass Supreme's, but at anyrate inless your brother has like !600-800lbs , it wont run those times with a stock 3800 series engine. A 3800 in a Camaro(Which is lighter then a Cutlass Sumpreme not sure about the Sierra though) wont even run 14.5 they get like low 16's i think i could be wrong though as I never checked out the 6's much ...
amean94ta 08-21-2003, 12:31 AM i dont own it my little brother does and it does run 14.5's never underestimate www.eriespeed.com

We are not going to search your website for specifics. What mods are done to the car? Where did you guys run this time?

I'd have to see that to believe it.
94NDTA 08-25-2003, 12:22 AM My dad has a 95 Cutlass supreme 3.4L rated at 220 hp. I have beat V6 mustangs with it. There is no way it would ever hit 14.5 and it is the highest output 3.4L available. It's faster than most. It feels more like low to mid 15's though.

Are you bragging about beating a Mustang:p
You know mustangs kinda remind me of tampons...every p*ssy's got one:bow:
Weird race? My stock 96 Z vs modded 02 Z06:D AND I WON:eek:
Heh, not really. I don't even know why he raced me.....:confused:
:metal:
94NDTA 08-25-2003, 01:15 PM I'm just trying to say roughly how fast it is. It's not even my car.
HardcoreRM125 08-25-2003, 03:50 PM They do about 16 seconds flat( Due to lack of lowend power for good launching), from a roll they do better though. Its twin DOHC, and its bottom end pulls like ****, once they hit about 4k though they tend to perk up. From a roll they go pretty good.
Slayer 08-29-2003, 08:32 AM Here's a weird race. I was stuck behind a slow-moving moped a while back. I changed lanes to pass him and as I did, he hunched down and gunned it. He was actually trying to race my Z with his moped. I laughed and floored it just to prove a point to him. A couple miles down the road, I pulled in a gas station to fill up and a couple minutes later, he turns in to fill up. He wouldn't even look at me.

and Grand prix GTP is 15sec car , I have raced one bone stock 15.5
LandryP 11-30-2003, 12:29 AM I raced a late eighties crown vic with my 91 3.1 celebrity wagon, won and the guy got very pissed at me even though he started it
I raced my buddy's 90 ford taurus with my 12 horse bar frame mini bike and it was surprisingly close, but he beat me later in our lawn tractor demo. I out ran a new crown vic with my yamaha dt 250 (they get pissed when you ride dirtbikes on the streets around here) and i lose to about every thing that messes with my camaro. It looks awsome with it's brand new black paint job and skunk stripes but the tired 2.8 and smoked clutch dosn't do much and every kid with a fart can tries to race me, but as soon as I finish painting my TA it's going in the garage and the 350 in my basement is going in.

WOW , Im glad Im not the only one that goes thrue this , I couldnt count on both hands the amount of times A big chevy has tryed to race me .....Big Dodges are just as bad . There was this one guy in a 72 chevy truck , he ran a 14.0 at the track that night . When we left he kept hopping at my best friend in his 98 LS1 , wich BTW ran an easy 13.0 that night ...This guy really thought he was going to win . He had this serious look in his face . Drives me nuts , Eddie broke down and raced him , blew his doors off . I wont waste my time trying to race one of those big beeeeesterd trucks .
Then there is something about those guys in the v8 explorer's , they think they have a 4x4 lambo or something ...
Old bronco's , 92 626's , aries ....LOL humorous I tell ya

Wannna bet? My freinds runs 13.92 in the 1/4 with a smaller pully and a thermostat.
Anyway I raced my friend. He was in his 87 cutlass saloon and I was in my mothers 00 camry. He pulled wicked hard and it took me almost the whole 1/4 mile to pass him, He mifht have even beat me. I was sh!ttin my pants laughin at how slow a friggin camry is. THEY SUCK!
rjarrardZ28 12-02-2003, 01:16 PM Worst race ever: I was stopped at a light, and a kid (probably 16) pulls up next to me in a beat up, bright blue, late '80s Ford AEROSTAR! The kid looks over at me, and throws a rev. I couldn't help myself, and I just started laughing. The kid didn't like that, so he gave me the finger and threw more revs. When the light turned green, I pulled 3 car lengths on him before I shifted to second (BTW, I was not even trying), and I was still laughing at him when he gave me the "fly-by" about a mile or so later.
