Maybe 3 tenths on the tree....you were eating a frikkin' pizza up there or something.

It seems that some people thought we were racing on the street. We fooled 'em....bastards we are.

Hell yeah!!! They finally added...... !!! I love the BS flag!

hehe....

 

hehe...I can't wait to do this....



That ****er in the RX-7 doesn't want any. If he thinks that damn 2-rotor will live at anything above 12 psi for any length of time he's hit his head.

Not tuned...what a goondick. He's all about racing you since you beat the 3-rotor. Does he REALLY think he stands a chance against either car? bwwahahahahaah!!! I so wanted to engage in **** talk that night....that would have been fun putting him in place. Oh well...guess I'll have to save that for another day.

 

LOL
someday you have to take me for ride in that Viper.It is pretty quick.Plus very cool.

I bet he would race my stock Z
Err emm if I street raced.
Don't let Tony bs you guys he beat me by 3 car lengths and I nailed the tree and he didnt redlight .

hey !

i think ROY is a damm RETARD ! but he claims to want some of every car out at checkers . i don't think the rx/7 will take getting run that much .

and linearX and 1tony1 !

the grey primmer stang ran one pass sunday at the track . it went a ( 7.93 ) on the hose . so what does that tell you . it tells me a viper got hosed !

seeya guy later .

What does the RX7 run anyway , he talks the talk but does he walk the walk ?

 

Well a 2900 pound car pushing 400 rwhp should run 7.10s to 7.20s with a good driver and traction.

Here is a link for a little math....

D@mn I know he has dug a hole for himself but his car should be pretty fast.

 

billy c. ,

the 7 should run ! as larry says .( larry knows roy ) witch i think it should too . but i think roys got nopi on the brain ! and i don't think the 7 will run from a dead stop as good as he thinks ! you can't hardly beat cubic inchs !

lt99ls1 ,

thats all i'm going to say about roy ! so please don't get him over on this board . and on my a$$ !

one more thing it's not going to be as easy as roy thinks ! beating everyone that is .

come on up plenty of cars in your range and billys !

I personally know 2 people that have tried to make RX-7's fast cars, and while it can be done, it's not as simple as anyone would have you believe. As far as the math on prestage.com that's all just estimates as there are really no hard and fast rules as to what one car will run based on weight and horsepower. You also have realize that an RX-7 with (I'm assuming here) stock gears isn't going to run the 1/8th that fast. In the quarter it could possibly put a number that would indicate low 7's in the 1/8th, but a turbo car is, 9 times out of 10, going to run the back half of the the quarter to make up for it's short comings in the first half of the track.

I don't know much about Roy's car except that he's been through a few motors and sued some people for nonsense. That being said, he's talking trash about wanting to race the Viper. Everyone knows what the Viper is capable of, and I've got to say that's got to be one SERIOUS 2-rotor to hang with the Viper. There is a 3-rotor RX-7 in town, and I'd say Roy should have to take him down before he gets on the Viper or BrentB. When the Viper raced the 3-rotor, he was having problems. It would be a real good race between the Viper and the 3-rotor running right. Roy had better be on his best game if he wants to hang with either of those cars.

Let me explain my commet about the 1/8th vs. 1/4 mile thing. John Meaney (he helped Mike Moran with that quad turbo Camaro) built a twin turbo Corvette. On street tire this car runs 11.11 @ 151mph (No that is NOT a misprint). The car runs the back half of the 1/4 in 3.3 seconds. Doing the math, that equals 7.81 in the 1/8th. Now bear in mind that this car makes upwards of 1400hp. So don't let the ET's be your only indicator as to who will win a race. MPH = horsepower as best as I can tell.

Ok, enough of my

 

A couple notes here. The Viper has a best of 7.69 at Brainerd on street tires. The stang can't hook on the street from a 20 roll so he probably wasn't hooking at the strip....and one pass doesn't tell much. Its really easy to settle if anybody is willing. I will make a pass at the strip then everybody can follow me home, we will put my car on the lift for inspection in/out/over/under whatever to prove there is no n02.....but it will be a bet of $1,000 minumum. Any takers???? There are going to be some SURPRISED folks when it does get a power adder. Here is part of a post from another board, this was the guys 2nd drag strip pass in a 2002 STOCK Viper and the car had under 1k miles. Pretty good:

SUPRA 2161 VIPER 1310
R/T .831 .570 TREED HIM
60' 1.857 1.879 GREAT LEAVES
330 5.119 5.090 AHEAD BY1.5 CARS
1/8 7.732 7.727
MPH 94.14 93.51
990 9.916 9.920
1/4 11.874 11.898
MPH 118.59 115.84

Oh, and tell the RX7 to let us know when he gets it "TUNED" because he didn't want any this past Friday.

 

I think the point Eric was making there is that, indeed, the stang was on the hose when he raced you that night. I, too, saw the pass and he did spin quite a bit off the line. I'm not sure what kind of tires he was on, but I seem to recall them being drag radials. I have no doubt that with some traction the car is capable of running much better.

 

I see your point.....after I read the post again. I will leave it up cause most know I am a dumbass anyway. I wish I could put more faces with screen names. ta

 

NOS/86.....Roy may already be on this board lurking who knows,who cares. And yes I do know Roy.

I just wanted everbody to relise that any car that has 7.25 pounds to 1 HP is going to be quick. I did say that with a good driver and traction the 7 could run 7.10s to 7.20s. You are right it the math is just a ruff guess of what you should be able to do.

LinearX....I totaly agree about the turbo cars making up there time on the back half of the 1/4.

LinearX...I don't know both sides of the story on the different motors that he has been thru so I can't say much about that. Do you know both sides of the story?

Hell all the car cars we are talking about are way out of my leage,I don't have the money to play in 7,6,5 second range.

I think we all can agree that it is past time for Roy to show us what the 7 has got.

I told Roy that he need to race people from a dead stop and a roll he is all ways talking about to get himself out of the HOLE he has dug for hisself.

Please take my post for what it was meant to be,just a reminder that the 7 should be in the 7.xx's.

well no more of my

 

lt99ls1 ,

you coming back up to checkers ? i hope so . well i'm leaving roy alone .till its my turn . i think i might dyno my car next week just so i'll know what kind of hp i got .

seeya eric

 

Yea, I will be up at Checkers on the 19th. I got a race to go to Sunday the 13th or I would come up this Saturday night. http://www.gafba.com/shootout/index.asp

From what I heard your too fast for the 7.

Where you going dyno that thing at?You going to share the HP number?
