Thanks ... and there was no spin

So you'll be running slicks on the street now?

That's why I said the street race... I don't need the drag radials in 3rd or up there buddy .

Next time at the track I'm going full street trim to see what she can do.

(I only now put on the Toyo DRs which are not great ones for drag racing anyway, pump in some race gas and remove the headlight).

p.s. If I wasn't running my DRs at 12 lbs the trap speed would have been even quicker so your argument is moot

"Just you wait Mark... this year my new car will be packing more punch . Should be seeing high 12's at around 110~112 this year which means I'll be kicking your ass on the highway and giving you a run for your money at the strip. " - me

"and Mike...I love the "you just wait..." when my car runs fast...blah blah blah.
I think you've been around Pino too long
" - PPG

"Careful Mike.... I've made estimates too. Unfortunately they all went the wrong way.. you spend more you go slower.. No wonder PPG is such a slug." - Steve

"Ahh Yes, Mike J with the "next year" talk.
You should head over to:
www.torontostreetracing.com
There are a whole bunch of next year racers over there, surprisingly enough they are all going to be in the high 12's or quicker too
" - Vince

Yee of little faith

tisk tisk, I don't see any high 12 et's yet...
next year racers....

Got the car performing where I said (mph)... now I just have to teach myself how to drive better (ET) to get the 12's

MY argument is moot??

Soooo... I guess that 111 (I didn't see a "2" at the end of that number...) was on PUMP gas.. just like it would be on the street??

Gimme a trap speed in STREET trim (the way I race at the track..) then, we'll talk.

ie: NO race gas, NO lowered tire pressure, NO ripping stuff out of the car...

I was talking to Vince there. You turning on me? Us FWDers have to stick together right???

Besides we're talking about trap speeds these AWDs will never see. You and I have similar setups so should run about the same .

Bah I shouldn't have revived this old thread... I was just happy this weekend to lift the curse you guys tried to lay on me

LOL
yeah I'll never see those trap speeds :rolleyes:

Is there a day left where we can go to a T&T?

I still got a can of whoopass in the garage, I wanna pour all over Kin-Hairdo.

I'll start with Pump gas just to be sure the smack talk will stop

"Trap speeds these AWDs will never see?"

FWD? BAH!!!

WWD is more like it... (wrong wheel drive)

Got news bro... before the Mongoose went into hibernation, it got a few slips with just that sort of trap speed... 110, 111, 112, are no problem.

It's the same damn thing... the nut behind the wheel needs adjusting, cuz the best combined slip I could pull was 13.2 @ 109. The 110-112 traps, were at 13.3 and 13.4...

Besides, this point is moot... Steve is already hunting for an AWD vehicle to replace his...

But, feel free to beat on him and keep this thread running... he's offline for the next week.

delete please

haa, I love it, now the FWD guys are turning on each other

"before the Mongoose went into hibernation"

Is that what you call it when she won't start for you in the morning?

Damn Andy... with those traps you should take a full second off those ETs. Good thing I can always count on you AWDers not knowing how to drive.

Mark... how bout this Sunday at Cayuga? I hate going on import days but it would be worth it if I got to clean up some business with you

Anyone notice that since I matched Vinces ET and mutilated his MPH that his kindergarten collage of a webpage is no longer in his sig?! It's okay Vince... it's only going to get worse so the sooner you accept things the sooner you can get on with your life.

Steve don't give in to the dark side!!! This is just like that test Luke had to go through in Return of the Jedi. You know what path is true... ignore your temptations and stay true to your heart!

I changed my sig when chuck challenged me to race for money, but since it's not going to happen I guess I can make it public info again I never knew you liked my website so much..then again it does have over 4000hits in just over a year.

remember Mike I have a set of cams sitting right next to me and some larger injectors, I am just waiting for one piece of the puzzle to put everything together...so enjoy it while you can.

And it's about time Steve smartened up, I see that you're just a little hard headed to see the error in your ways.

Actually, what Mr. Beinhuas neglected to mention was that I got into a couple of highway "skirmishes" shortly after claiming I wanted an AWD...

After which I decided I liked my car again, and stopped searching so hard for an AWD.

If a beater/project car were to fall into my lap, I'd take it, but man.. my car is a BLAST on the highway.. Can't wait until I get that 20G on there!

20G? Damn I better start saving for a Green

Andy, even my lame-ass 110mph was good for a 12.54
hahaha

Mike, my car is fucked for a couple of weeks
Flywheel/pressure plate/clutch plate are toast.

New ACT 2600 and Fidanza are in the air from BR. Give me a few weeks, and I'm there...but no import sh!t. T&T on a Sat/Sun.

btw Steve and I plan on upgrading He gets my 20g and I get a colour of some sort

You better not be going red

Well, I need an 11 second car to run 12's therefore I would need a 10 second car to run 11's

"Is that what you call it when she won't start for you in the morning?"

No... that's what you call it when you put it away for the winter, with grandious plans of love and affection that you plan to lavish on the car over the winter... and then you get busy.

"Andy, even my lame-ass 110mph was good for a 12.54
hahaha"

...and I don't think you've seen that again since for a year or two, no?

Excuse me.....just sliding in here for a little test.
Thanks....carry on.....

Ooops. Ny spelling ain't so great.....and html doesn't work here.

Another test.

Man this place is dead...

Does no one feel the need to insult anyone else, when Steve isn't around???

No Steve is basically the rout of all the insults around here. Everything can in one way or another be traced back to him.

I would insult Mark but he's a fellow AWD guy and it just doesn't feel right, besides he always whines and cries when I do that anyway

From what I hear, Steve is suffering with dial-up access at the moment.

So, he likely doesn't have the bandwidth to really let the insults truly fly...

I got a backup 111 mph run yesterday . There was a bit more there but I had minor problems on my second run and had to pack it in .

111.54 backs up the 111.94

Steve?
Care to say something to the group?????

what is so magestical about this thread that it never dies?

But any one has build up enough power to race me yet?

Ya....

You shift like my grandma.

oh, and I just bought another car.

Yeah, I sh!t like your grandma.

caw
caw
caw

How do you like your crow? Dead or alive

I like my crow the same way I eat up . Smoked.

could the real slim shady
please stand up
please stand up

you eat smoke...

Thats mighty big talk for a soon to be stock exhausted, 16g'd, stock SMIC, no FP, no nothing, except an SAFC.

You got one of two things you have to do...
show me a fast AWD or STFU.

Andy has a big mouth too, but we all know how fast his car is.

Wow... You've REALLY got no idea do you? Haven't you listened to ANYTHING I've told you lately?

I'll be doing the former.

Stock Exhaust?? Stock SMIC?? No FP?? wrong. wrong. wrong. *sigh* Now I can see why I got tired of making you look stupid on the highway. You don't learn, and it just becomes boring.

LOL!
Right now all I see is an engine-less 1g popup AWD.

You can riceboy talk all you want about "when I'm done"... But normally we make fun of those people.

You are slower than your car!

Hmm, a little birdie told me that Steve may be wanting to race you from a standing start soon...

I'll take on any of you in my Camry. That thing will do one wheel burnouts 'til the cows come home it has so much torque.

Great another weak soul has been lured to the dark side. Oh well... more lessons to be taught, more ass to be handed out .

I think I'll save the trash talk for when the yellow pistoned beast is actually IN my car... lets just say that the drive down to Ohio in July is gonna be an event on its own!

Here's a teaser...



Study it good, cuz thats all you'll be seeing the whole way down to Ohio...
