just let me know!

thats a date that is not good. Still trying to set a date

 

Drag radial was started with very few rules, and let the tire be the biggest limiting factor, over time it has gotten so fast, and had a lot more rules added, so it's kind of like most heads up classes. Out of reach for normal peoples income to be competitive.

It's also cool seeing peole find way to get massive power to the ground on a street tire. He who makes the most HP is not the winner usually.

 

yeah. its realy cool to trying to find a way to get it down the track faster with all that power.

 

Vette and? No, I agree, esp. the new VR1 is absolutely kick ass! But....that's it...oh and the GT40, you sure see a ton of those on this forum. But if you want a Domestic to handle, you can spend tons of money and make anything fast around turns. For the same amount of money into many many many imports, domestics fall short again.

The same can be said about horsepower, it's much cheaper to make tons of horsepower with domestics than imports. Boosted V8? Good lord!

The debate will go on and on, it's just all what your into.

 

well it depends on what we have to do in the shop if i can even get it in. i hope it will work out, and thanks i know youll be there to help

 

Im down to help whenever man, just let me know.


Im sure im going to bring my car out, should be gooood times either way.

 

we got about 3 months, so it will be close if we can get it in in mid feb
thanks bro, and im going eather way car or not.

 

All right, I have read this entire thread and I have an idea. Lets let the front wheel drive guys run dot legal bias ply tires or straight slicks but they have to run as much air pressure in them as the radial guys. I know I have seen FWD guys on slicks at the track with no more than 5psi in them. This will help them but close the gap a bit.

I don't talk shit much but I have a challenge for all of the FWD drag racers out there. If the track will let us I want to get a couple of 60' times on one car on whatever tires it has, and it has to have at least enough power to spin the tires, stock wont do. The challenge is this. Launch the car like normal and let out of it after the 60' timer, then come back and line up backwards and launch the car in reverse. I wonder which way will hook better? That is why a billion people run knuckle dragging domestics.

And as far as originality goes turbo Hondas are as rare and cutting edge as drag racing mustangs. I mean you can't drive 5 miles without seeing a Honda with an intercooler. What makes a car cutting edge is not the parts on the car but the combination, tuning, and application of the car as a whole. Hence Cobra Mikes comment on copy cats not having the same tuner as he has.

 

nice post. and i would love to see the imports line up backwads and launch in reverse.. i bet none of them can hold it straight, torque steer in reverse might be deadly...lol..

 

yea look at the real street class at mir thats a radial class and way out of a lot of peoples bugit, power and a good boost controler is everything in that class
