Boo hoo hoo...so you want to make everyone's car equal, huh? What fun would that be. If I can get ahold of slicks, or drag radials for the event, I am going to use them. You will still be pulling better 60's than me, so why does it matter?

Hey, tell you what! Let's all buy brand new Chevy Cavaliers and race them at the track, so that we are allll equal!

Boy I can't wait to whoop your ass!

i get so annoyed when people call (or insinuate) things like nitrous and race gas are cheating. that makes no sense. what if i pulled the turbo off my car and then ran only nitrous, would it still be cheating? what if i ran race gas all the time? then would i have to drain my tank at the track and put in 93?

after switching from hondas to dsms a few years ago, the first thing i noticed was that everyone wanted to have the fastest dsm with a stock turbo, stock IC, stock injectors, on pump gas, blah blah blah. knowing full well they could go faster if they did things differently. it seems like people aren't into going fast as much as being known as the "fastest FWD 2G with stock downpipe and 3 people and a pack gummi worms in the car" or similar type scenarios...

if anyone wants to race me at the track, they can be absolutely sure that i'm going to be running a lot of boost, a lot of nitrous, and a lot of 110 octane.

so chris, what's the big secret? if it's anything less than a 60-1/T4 i'm going to be quite disappointed.

you seem to misunderstand my point. people like you compare your cars to everyone elses STREET car and call yourselves superior because you ran a faster time on race gas. supra worshippers are particularly bad about it. "oh look at me i dynoed a milion hp on 500,000 octane, my car is FAST, yo "

my point is this: if your car is a TRACK car than do whatever the hell you want. but if it's a daily driver, drive it at the track the way you drive it on the street, or i will have no respect for it as a "street car", however, i will still have plenty of respect for it as a "track car". yes, race gas is fun. yes, i might use it sometime eventually jsut for the hell of it, but i will NOT go around flashing the timeslip saying my car is that fast, because it is NOT that fast normally. it is normally as fast as it can go on pump gas. i am not trying to hate on you or your car i am trying to get my point across. i clearly stated before i didn't have a problem with nitrous either.

you also say "knowing full well they could go faster if they did things differently". way to go bench racer. i don't need interior, because my car can go faster without it. i'll run race gas at the track so my timeslip misrepresents my car's street-driven capabilities and insult everything that is slower because they don't have the money to buy nice t3/t4 setups and a shitload of racegas like me. i am taking my 14b as far as it will go before upgrading because i'm not retarded. lazy bitches upgrade their turbo instead of tuning, or to make up for poor tuning ability. not to mention i don't like to not have money.

i am done with my rant. if you want to insult people for not bowing down to your car, go ahead. your car is faster than mine. but i don't care. your car is a track car, mine is a street car.

i used to liek your car, but now i'm having second thoughts

chris at least you should see where i'm coming from, since you are always so concerned with going fast without losing the luxury..

my T3/T4 'setup' cost me about 300 dollars. big money there.

i took a small 16g/6cm combo to 8.10 (translates to mid/low 12's) that took countless hours of logging - on the street no less.

anyways, we have different views.

Hahaha, ladies ladies please...

Naw nothing like that Marshall, I'm still having some seriously decisions going on in my head right now and I'm sure Dave knows about them. Everyday there is a little battle going on in my head about what to do. Anyway, I'm prob gonna a little more, nothing major like a turbo upgrade, but hopefully I wish to be able to pull into the 7's. That would be my goal anyway, but I dont know the elevation at natural bridge, summerduck is around 100ft asl I think.

8.1 should translate to maybe a 12.5, not a low 12.

O, and for you dave, I just may leave in my interior, amp, etc .

16G - What are you going to do? You've been hinting around about it for the past month. Do you want us to pry it out of you?

Water injection?
Propane injection? (no...because you hate nitrous)
remove weight?

Well if you're want street times, then make sure you go to a track that is pure pavement w/no VHT or other chemicals to aid traction.

Like others I'm not really sure what the big deal about adding different stuff @ the track is. I'm sure most of these guys would run w/o cats+mufflers (well Jeff is the exception ), w/drag radials, or on race gas if it was feasible/legal on the street.

Jesus, a STREET CAR is a car that is registered and insured to drive on roadways in our wonderful commonwealth of Virginia, THAT'S ALL IT TAKES!

HighPSI, so you have no respect for someone who runs higher octane at the track or swaps out radials for slicks, why? It's a fucking TIMESLIP, you get them at DRAG STRIPS, not at the hardees drive-through at the end of a road you just street raced on. So what a guy flashes a nice timeslip on the street, ask him about his car, what he was running, that is what makes life interesting, CAR ENTHUSIAM. Don't scoff at him because he's sportin' scuffed up Tim's or because his timeslip is decent and he wants to empty your wallet on the street.

You have to gauge what you think that guy with the low timeslip will run on street tires and 93 (or is he running 93?), it's all part of the game of street racing and gambling.

All of you whip your Daimler Star Manmeats out on the table and have a jerkoff contest, not lotion though, that's cheating.
