Poll: What will happen when F-22 and Brian97cobra run on Sunday?

[a408swinger]

Like the title says, whats gonna happen?

[brian97cobra]

a little birdy told me that brian was gonna win.

[qkjuicedpony]

brian,



i see no way for you to beat the ranger.im sorry but pete is a real racer.you are just a mouth piece.

in your case it wouldnt matter if you had a car that was half a second faster because pete will kill you on the tree.....leave your balls in your womans purse on sunday or else they will be carried home in the back of a ranger

[f-22]

Like the title says, whats gonna happen?
How am I going to fit all my crap, and a 3650 in the back of the truck sunday? Hey, who knows what time the track opens?

[HorsePowerChic]

Is there usualy a good turn out there on sundays?

[punisher]

i mean really who puts up a signature with all that is done to your car??? i'll be there i hope coupe shows up he's my hero, how bout tom you run him on hard tire that be some shit there on motor??????

[vortech_95-gt]

Is there usualy a good turn out there on sundays?Yep.....very good turn out

[vortech_95-gt]

My guess would be that Pete trees the hell out of him , out 60 ft.s him out shifts him out et's him and out Mph's him. And then out smack talks him when the beatings are complete.....I could be completely wrong here .........Nahhhhhhh Im right , but it will be fun to watch in any event....I will be there

Chris

That's usually what happens to me.... LOL. But I didn't put together a 9.20 car, either. Mine ran 9.20's in the 1/8th before we took it apart. That way, Pete was just kinda "pickin' on the retarded kid" if you will. If you put together a 9-sec car and Pete out MPH's and out ET's you, I'd just leave your helmet on. It's gonna get harsh right about that time. LOL.....:taptap:

[brian97cobra]

well fellas im not sure how its gonna turn out really. considering i have not been down a track in a mustang in 3 years. i dont think it will be pretty the first few times but it will get better. im gonna be there to have some fun and race. if i win great :D if i dont hey ill just have to come back and get better with more seat time


i look fwd to seeing all that come out

[nutzrback4sale]

this could be one of the greatest upset's in history.........
naaaaaaahh, probably not.

[EatsRice]

Hey Pete ill haul yer junk sunday if yawanna go and for the poll Brian cobra 97 pack yer lunch son Peter dond lay over too easy!@!!!!!!

[brian97cobra]

Hey Pete ill haul yer junk sunday if yawanna go and for the poll Brian cobra 97 pack yer lunch son Peter dond lay over too easy!@!!!!!!


packs rice your to funny...


it is gonna be a damn good show for sure. id like to get some test passes in before we race. again i have not been down the track in this mustang in over 3 years.

[a408swinger]

You will at least have a tire advantage because Pete usually only runs on McCrearys so you may out 60' him but you better keep your foot to the floor and be able to shift really, really fast!

[brian97cobra]

they are mt et streets but they are still 17" wheels .....


we will see shit im excited. so i really dont care. im just tired of talkin about racing and not doing it. now is the time

[WIKDLX]

someone is going home with a mouthfull of humble-pie!

[WIKDLX]

ps- take it to steele tomorrow

[brian97cobra]

someone is going home with a mouthfull of humble-pie!


maybe im either 2 young or 2 old but ive never heard that phrase before.....

[Gone In 5 Seconds]

maybe im either 2 young or 2 old but ive never heard that phrase before.....
Dang man, thats a band. You didn't know?

[Shankin]

Shankin shows up and outruns both of them!


But my money is on pete!

[brian97cobra]

now if i spray it im sure ill beat him.....


so are we talkin motor to motor or motor to nitrous?


odds are pretty close motor to motor id say... he is a better driver im sure. however with the spray my margin of error will disapear. as im sure id beat him then

:bsflag: Shankin hasn't seen the track since dallas :D

I am going to go with Brian . . . only if he can get the back tire and the wiggle. :cross:

[Boomer]

I think they both, and QJP, had better realize how lucky they are that I haven't finished my junk yet!

And before anyone of you run yer flapper, I'll be ready by June (which is the same as two SCF weeks). Slugs will be ordered later this week, and probably the cam too. Work is slowing down for me so I'll have a little time to work on the hot rod.

EatsRice, just so you don't think I'm leavin' you out... FUCK YOU BUDDY!!!! :finger2: :D

[Noslo5oh]

i believe i will be leaving out for Steele tomorrow with the Prospeed crew. i guess i will drive the coupe out there for a little fun i guess. see you all there.

[Tireman]

I gotta go wit F-22 on this one just because of the track experience... well ...that and I need a TH350 built a little later in the year and don't want to piss him off:) :nod: ...

Going to steele sunday!I have been to the strip a good bit here lately just working out some bugs!!

[Bugman]

I have been working out some bugs!!

Someone say bugs?

[CPC]

ok one question..... when you say low 9 sec passes does he seriously think it will run's 9's????

[Lucky]

He's gettin seat time today at Twigs. But I've got to go with my Big Buddy Pete.

[a408swinger]

ok one question..... when you say low 9 sec passes does he seriously think it will run's 9's????

Thats what he said in another thread. He believes that with some bigger pills and some seat time he can go low 9's. Im waiting to see what his first time slips say. Those are some lofty expectations. That would have to be one healthy 331 to run that kind of # even with a huge shot of spray and an auto, let alone he's gotta manual 6 speed tranny. Thats about a 5.80 in the 1/8th. I guess we will see when he posts his times.

healthy 331!! not quite it only made around 360 or a little more to the tires in a 3000# stick car it might go mid 7's if it 60's real good no way will that combo ever go 9's much less low 9's.... i bet his first 1/8th mile might be the closest he ever comes to a 9 sec time slip:cross:

[coupe performance]

Is everyone still going to Eatonton tommorrow?

That's my thoughts too Tom. But ole Brian is a magazine reader that bought all these parts after reading articals and reading magazine numbers. He's just excited and has high expectations. I think everybody's been there at one time in our life, unless you were lucky enough to build your own engines from the get go and learn what combos really work together to make the numbers you want. He has a decent 331, I've seen better, but he chose the parts and that combos not going to meet his expectations. But he'll have fun with it and learn from it. Maybe.....

[Noslo5oh]

all of y'all have fun at Etown and post the results, we are headed out to Steele to have some fun.

[TruStreet]

Results? any updates?

[WIKDLX]

Is everyone still going to Eatonton tommorrow?

Steele..........bring it bitch!

[66stang]

hmm...

[coupe performance]

Steele..........bring it bitch!



You gotta wait for Montgomery....it all goes down there. I'm glad I never said what car I am bringing!:shocked:

[brian97cobra]

ok one question..... when you say low 9 sec passes does he seriously think it will run's 9's????


dear god! no i do not think i will run a low 9 sec pass as it sits.... damn!

it will need more spray (lots and lots) and some greatly tuned suspension and also some new wheels as the 17's with mt et streets arent gonna cut it

[brian97cobra]

Results? any updates?


took the car to twiggs last night. my 60' foots were killin me. best of the night was a 1.77 but most were 1.88.

i went 7.98 7.96 and 7.95 @ 85-89. thats all motor no spray. with some 1.94 1.88 and 1.77 60' fts.
my best 60'ft was actually not my fastest pass.


it was fun. the track down there was very very loose on the top end. i didnt wanna spray with the track conditions there.

it was a long night last nite. also we redoned the car with the new toys. well my goal was almost met just shy of it. it put down 387RWHP and 393 RWTQ. we someone lot a little on the spray with torque. with a 100 shot it put down 488RWHP and 514RWTQ.

i think thats some good 10.5's in the quarter with a good 60ft.

[brian97cobra]

hey lucky... you pretty much hit the nail on the head with that hammer. i did a lotta reading and not enough experience. with what i know now and wish i knew it then.... i would have went much bigger for the same $$$. but hey at least its a good start. gotta learn to drive faster so i can go bigger.

in the end ill be happy with my first 10 sec slip. then we will go from there. for now the car is fun and it sounds good. im having a good time and thats all that matters really.

[Tireman]

ok one question..... when you say low 9 sec passes does he seriously think it will run's 9's???? I was thinking that he was being very conservative....until I realized that we were talking about the 1/4:ohmy: :fight4:

[CPC]

dear god! no i do not think i will run a low 9 sec pass as it sits.... damn!

your current combo will never go bottom 9's i don't care what suspension you have or tires... does not make enough power!!! 89 mph does not equal 380rwhp

[Shankin]

Hp vs Et

I have gone 7.40s at 90 mph with 330 rwhp

5.0 joe and myself have both gone 6.80s at 103 with 390 hp
and 6.20s at 113 with that same combo on 200 pills. Both cars were not gutted but had no ac or ps. I think that car will go 7.50s on motor and 6.50s on the gun with a good driver but 9s is a ways off.

[brian97cobra]

your a very discuraging person.... like shankin said you can go faster with less hp. just gotta have a great suspension tune great driver and great 60ft's.


ive got the damn dyno sheet. personally i dont give a fuck what you think my car will or wont do....

sounds like u need to go back to your lil performance shop and type in some more #'s until u realize that your wrong. the car put down that # on the same dyno as the last dyno run.

so for now :finger2:

shankin a 6.50 is a very low 10 pass like 10.00-10.10 in the quarter if u do the math. correct me if im wrong?

lil performance shop???? please what do you have??? and 89 mph is weak shankin and joe went faster than that with stock shortblock's my stock shortblock made 360 and went 91 in a 3300# lx..... keep buyin them $350 custom cam's:rofl4:

[WIKDLX]

You gotta wait for Montgomery....it all goes down there. I'm glad I never said what car I am bringing!:shocked:

oh geeze, here we go.
I never said what car i was bringing, my dad can beat up your dad, my ancestors have better genes than your ancestors..............wat,never mind, are you some sort of puss that brings someone elses car after talking all of this shit?? no, not you scotty!


I'm bringing MY car, bring whatever you need.

Dont worry Matt! scott wouldnt punk out like that ....He is just poking fun at you , at least I hope he is lol

i think thats some good 10.5's in the quarter with a good 60ft.

I think my guesses earlier in this thread or one of the numerous others were dead on ...when I said it would run 7.80's to 8.20's actually it really wasnt a guess...Ive seen it too many times before , thats about what it should run....BTW good talking to you at Twiggs last night..............the car has a little more left in it , your shifting needs a lot of work lol.....If you are at E-town with Pete right now Im sure you are getting a lesson in shifting from Pete because in my opinion he is one of the best lol

[vortech351]

shankin a 6.50 is a very low 10 pass like 10.00-10.10 in the quarter if u do the math. correct me if im wrong?
10.14 by my math but your going to have trouble shifting a normal straight drive on nos at those speeds.; my old car went 10.70s on a 5 speed on 1 stage and was having enough trouble driving it to not hit 2nd kit. put a c4 in it went 10.30 not really having to drive it. i see you having trouble shifting it fast enough mine was a pro shifted tremec

[speedy]

shankin a 6.50 is a very low 10 pass like 10.00-10.10 in the quarter if u do the math. correct me if im wrong?


Whats the formula you are using?
I always thought NHRA used .655 to convert 1/8 to 1/4

[66stang]

How am I going to fit all my crap, and a 3650 in the back of the truck sunday? Hey, who knows what time the track opens?

wats a 3650

[qkjuicedpony]

wats a 3650


a 5 speed trans from a late model 4.6 mustang

[57fairlane]

Whats the formula you are using?
I always thought NHRA used .655 to convert 1/8 to 1/4

Vortech used the 1.56 multiplier (which I happen to like) which came out to 10.14.

What all did you change? I know it wasn't just the anderson power pipe.

Maybe once you get the shifting down the MPH will come up. I think just about everyone has had a 300-330 rwhp car that trapped 85-90. Mine only made 270 to the tires and went 87ish.

[vortech351]

Vortech used the 1.56 multiplier (which I happen to like) which came out to 10.14..
usually comes real close doesnt it!

[PangleRacing]

Loose on the top end??? WTF your only going 7.90's in the 1/8th on MT DRAG RADIALS??? Your going to put her in the wall when you spray it on slicks if you think it was loose with those tires...

You need MEGA seat time before you spray it on slicks JMHO-or just make sure you have a bye runs when you attempt it...

No sense in rushing to get my car together to race you ;)

Good luck and be safe!!!

[brian97cobra]

well its also my first time on slicks..... even scott and several other said it was very slick on the top end.

i was at e-town today. well it got better my best of the day so far was a 7.84 @ 90.14 with a 1.74 60 ft.

so not to shabby. also e-town i could tell a difference it was night and day at the end of the track. i think part of the looseness was from my shifting, it would load and unload the suspension so to cause the car to shift side to side from the flex in the tires.


it was great to see everyone out there that came. i look fwd to it again and hope to get faster.

ya more seat time before spray

[brian97cobra]

lil performance shop???? please what do you have??? and 89 mph is weak shankin and joe went faster than that with stock shortblock's my stock shortblock made 360 and went 91 in a 3300# lx..... keep buyin them $350 custom cam's:rofl4:


what i think is funny is that you say in your sig home of brian mitchell. ive actually talked to him quite a few times at nmra events. hes a very nice guy. i believe i bought my poly locks from him at the track one day, also i think i got a set of comp pro mag rockers from him also...... however you on the other hand are a douch bag.


so im not a top racer. ive stated several times that i havent had any seat time in over 3 years. this is also the fastest car ive ever owned......so back the fuck off.

[brian97cobra]

Whats the formula you are using?
I always thought NHRA used .655 to convert 1/8 to 1/4


ive always used 1.55 to multiply the 1/8 mile run to get the quarter mile #'s and its usually about right on.

:D

[brian97cobra]

ooo also congrats to pete. he can run that truck. he beat me but not by much. he ran 7.6x's at 92 mph. that truck is light. it was nice to see you again pete and meet your family. hope we get to line up again soon.

They are not drag radials. They are the old school Mt Et streets. I believe a lot of the loose on the other end he is referring to was simply the sway of the tires (squirm) Some of the High Hp cars (5sec.) rides were getting a little loose on the big end , but should have been a non-issue for Brian , I dont see his car breaking et streets loose at the mph in 3rd gear on the big end of the track

[forddragrcr1]

dear god! no i do not think i will run a low 9 sec pass as it sits.... damn!

it will need more spray (lots and lots) and some greatly tuned suspension and also some new wheels as the 17's with mt et streets arent gonna cut it

can i get a big I TOLD YOU SO there are alot more issues then having the power and being able to drive with all the power.

[speedy]

Hey brian97cobra how much air pressure were you running? a lot of people run their tires lower than necessary which contributes to "side wiggle" as we used to call it.

[a408swinger]

ooo also congrats to pete. he can run that truck. he beat me but not by much. he ran 7.6x's at 92 mph. that truck is light. it was nice to see you again pete and meet your family. hope we get to line up again soon.

Trust me when I tell you that you only saw what he showed you. Had you turned on the nitrous you still would have been just a little bit behind at the finnish line. Just enjoy your car and get some seat time. Sounds like it runs fine to me and with some more practice you'll get quicker. Then after you get comfortable on the nitrous, Ill bring the Scamp out and run you on motor vs. you on the spray. That should be a good race.

Amen everytime ive raced pete his margin of victory is like a fender or door weather I was runnin a 7.30 on motor or high sixes on a lil sneeze he knows his vehicle better than anyone here knows theirs well I suppose swinger is a vetran vehicle owner as well but point is if you are a mediocre driver w/ a 150 more hp these guys will out drive ya any day but hey its all in fun

[brian97cobra]

Hey brian97cobra how much air pressure were you running? a lot of people run their tires lower than necessary which contributes to "side wiggle" as we used to call it.


started with 14 at twiggs and went to 10 and left it at 10 at e-town. i didnt touch a thing other than that.


i think a lotta the wiggle is just my inexperience of never driving on et streets. ive always had a radial tire. no wiggle even @ 130 on the street. the fastest ive been on the track before was a 13.69 @105 with a 2.1 60ft on 17" tires. so this is kinda a big jump for me. once i get the hang of this car on the motor ill spray it.


for those that care i appreicate all the support and advice given.


brian

[PangleRacing]

Oh I thought he was running the radial stuff...

Anywho I want still want that motor to motor race Tom-going to put the engine back in the car in 1 SCF week!!!

[nutzrback4sale]

well for all the e/t samples.... I just let Coupe do what he wants.... and with one of my old "STREET cars", went 7.24 @91 mph with a stock pee wee motor (round guy) that only made 320RWHP.
I kinda knew it was going to be a lil tough for ya Brian.... you dont have any experience, and a 5 or 6 speed on top of that..... if the car was a lot lighter and a lot more efficient it could go a good bit faster on motor with some good shifting, but when you go to spraying a bunch, the clutch shifting hits a wall no matter who you are.

And the whole 1.54-1.56 multiplying 1/8th to 1/4 times is a decent start BUT, blower & turbo cars generally do a little better than that and nitrous cars sometimes dont do as well as the 1.55, alot has to do with the 60ft, the converter and amount of power per 1/8th e/t.... but 1.55 is a decent guess, you could say, keeping these mentioned things as an adjuster.
For instance, the street car mentioned above would out 330', a car that would run nearly .4 tenths faster in the 660' and the same car would not come close to 1320' what the 1.55x1/8th mile e/t calculator said.

[CPC]

what i think is funny is that you say in your sig home of brian mitchell. ive actually talked to him quite a few times at nmra events. hes a very nice guy. i believe i bought my poly locks from him at the track one day, also i think i got a set of comp pro mag rockers from him also...... however you on the other hand are a douch bag.


so im not a top racer. ive stated several times that i havent had any seat time in over 3 years. this is also the fastest car ive ever owned......so back the fuck off.

boo hoo!!!

great info stoney. ya like i stated earlier im a noob to racing a car that actually has some balls. so it will take time to learn my car and to get down the shifting more. i hope to take the car to commerce this friday. id like to weight her and see what it comes in at with me in it and without.


so for now im just gonna go all motor until i get good with it, then spray it. maybe ill get coupe to make a few pulls down the track with it and see what happens. i trust him in my car.

so for now im just gonna go all motor until i get good with it, then spray it. maybe ill get coupe to make a few pulls down the track with it and see what happens. i trust him in my car.[/QUOTE]

Thats a smart thing to do! About 35 yrs ago when I was running NHRA -SS/E, I had a true High 9 sec. car, but I was a 11 sec driver. (the record was a 9.56). I had a local Pro Stock driver drive my car and he ran a 9.70 first time out with the same set up. By the end of the season i was down to a 10.23. We switched to an Art Carr TH400 and i was able to dip into the 9s. Hell back then even my wife could shift faster than i could! :rofl:

[brian97cobra]

yea id love to see someone like scott(coupe) drive my car and see what he can get outta her. that would give me a goal to achieve and it would be realistic because it was run in my car. i just would need the time to master the skills.

it was a great time. i thought it was funny.... ppl were askin about me at twiggs and at e-town, saying i bet he dont show and whats up with his car and shit... you get the idea. i got a laught outta it anyways.

Hey CPC (dan) can you scan in a pic of the cover you made with your old car and post it? being just a little pee wee shop I thought you might share what a lil 302 with a carb and 1 plate kit can do :)

[CPC]

You are a being a little bit sensitive,all Dave was saying was that with the power level that you have it will be difficult to get in the 9s,unless you could take a lot of weight out of your car. But when you start insulting my shop you are are making a mistake, as we have built not only NMRA world champions but also Fun Ford and NMCA,so before you pop off I ran 9.20s with a 309ci 3100lb mustang on a single plate kit I also did K Ingrams 310ci single plate NMCA stuff that weighted 3150 that also ran low 9s on one single plate kit! So don`t get your pantys in a wad that easy. Dan

theres a difference in being informative and being an asshole. so whoever was on this cpc name was being a cocky smart ass. i dont care if u were doing engines for john force or anyone else. i mearly stated that you say home of brian mitchell. he is a nice guy and a pleasure to talk to. however you or anyone else on this name do yourself a favor and just dont post in this thead about me. your comments are non productive and arent helping.


im not a professional driver nor do i own a shop. my resources are limited like my income. so i do what i can when i can do it.

[PangleRacing]

Hey Brian you need to chill-you pretty much brought all this on yourself by acting cocky about your car and how it would perform at the dragstrip.

Calling people names and making fun of their speed shops is not helping you either.

Just some friendly advice...

[f-22]

Trust me when I tell you that you only saw what he showed you. Had you turned on the nitrous you still would have been just a little bit behind at the finnish line. Just enjoy your car and get some seat time. Sounds like it runs fine to me and with some more practice you'll get quicker. Then after you get comfortable on the nitrous, Ill bring the Scamp out and run you on motor vs. you on the spray. That should be a good race.
I'm giving her all she's got captain.:rofl: I don't have time to fix it before brainerd this sat. You guys need to come up.

true that....


i edited the post a lil.


i never made fun of their speed shop really. i just stated they were being rude.... but i guess thats about calling the kettle black right now as im being the same.


thats for the call out on that. i would just like to have some fun. i know im no expert, but i dont need to be slammed when you have a race shop and pretty much unlimited resources.

[brian97cobra]

hey pete. it was a great race. i had lots of fun. glad you showed up.


also for the record guys i did cut some pretty damn good lights. i ran a .598 light and on the pro tree i ran a .496 once. i was running a full tree most of the time.

First thing Brian I will post anywhere I want,and I think most people on here are aware that I am a very fair guy but I will speak my mind so again I think that you are being a little bit sensetive! Also you are the one that brought up my shop which takes this to a more personal level,and sometimes Dave takes a different tact when talking to people then I do,but that is not to say that I don`t agree with his assment of your claims,as he was talking from experence which he has a lot of! So lighten up a little and enjoy your car and get some seat time as that will help more than anything. Dan

im cool. im not mad at ya. thanks for the post

[HemiOrange]

this is a pretty good thread after i read it all. dang i gotta get to the track. :) Dan you about ready to put that roll bar on and set it up well i should say whenever i get off my lazy ass i'll be getting with you on it. all this smack talk is getting me motivated. keep it up. :)

Dammit Jim.... I'm a doctor not a pool man:brains: Congrats on the win Petew....you big sandbagger:smack:
My thoughts exactly .... I can guarentee that Pete was watching Brian close enough to just stay out on him just enough for the win. Pete has been doing this a very long time and he know exactly how his truck will react , I think someone has already stated it in this thread but I believe Pete probably knows his vehicle better than anyone else on this forum....Just my .02

took the car to twiggs last night. my 60' foots were killin me. best of the night was a 1.77 but most were 1.88.

i went 7.98 7.96 and 7.95 @ 85-89. thats all motor no spray. with some 1.94 1.88 and 1.77 60' fts.
my best 60'ft was actually not my fastest pass.

You put it on the trailer to quick! :violin:

it was fun. the track down there was very very loose on the top end. i didnt wanna spray with the track conditions there.

I think most of your top end sway can be contributed to the bias ply tires on the back with your wide radials on the front. Get some skinnies for the front and a wheel that will clear your brakes in the back and let you get alittle more sidewall than those 17" ET Streets. Even a 26x10 would help if it were on a 15" rim.

I was making considerable quicker passes and the track wasn't absolutley horrible out there, seen better for sure though. :bouncy:

it was a long night last nite. also we redoned the car with the new toys. well my goal was almost met just shy of it. it put down 387RWHP and 393 RWTQ. we someone lot a little on the spray with torque. with a 100 shot it put down 488RWHP and 514RWTQ.

i think thats some good 10.5's in the quarter with a good 60ft.

You should get back down there and re-run that black coupe. Spray him next time! DO IT DO IT!

:engarde:

[brian97cobra]

hey richard thanks for the advice. nice to meet ya again

i did better at e-town. man twiggs is really far from me. took me a lil over 2 hrs to get home. i was like 115 miles one way.

i got some better 60' ft's and a little quicker times and more mph there. not much but a little. i cant make it to commerce this friday night as my wife got tickets to the braves game. however the friday after that is lookin good. also sunday i may venture down to e-town again.

[ChrisVande]

Brian,

I'll meet you up at Commerce some Friday/Saturday for some racing. I've got to knock the dust off my coupe though it hasn't been out of the stable in over a year.

[brian97cobra]

that sounds like some fun. look fwd to seeing you there. im gonna try and be at commerce may 11

Hey Brian I personally wouldnt contribute the faster times at e-town to the track conditions because e-town has really went to shit lately. I venture to guess the quicker times had more to do with you getting more comfortable with the car

i belive thats a part also. i did realize that my factory tach is WAY OFF. i was shifting early at twiggs. also some at e-town. also launching at lower rpms than i thought i was..... which contribuited to higher 60' ft's.

all in all i know ill get faster. i think i did pretty good for what i have and how long its been sense ive been in a mustang. right now im learning the car and then ill get the balls to spray it. for now i wanna play it safe and learn the car and how it acts. then got for the juice.

so i can do this :wheelie:

[Tireman]

I don't have nothing for the ranger either... I sleep like rip Van Winkle at the light anyway... My best light ever was a .517 and I think that was because my foot slipped off the clutch...LOL

so i can do this :wheelie:seat time ...seat time... seat time... and some 26.0 10-15's like QS86 was sayin'... I wouldn't trust the factory tach at all the are most all of the time off...

[brian97cobra]

seat time ...seat time... seat time... and some 26.0 10-15's like QS86 was sayin'... I wouldn't trust the factory tach at all the are most all of the time off...


i have a phantom 5" tach im just not used to lookin at it. also the car cut off at 6050-6100 because of the factory rev limiter. i need to be shifting around 6300-6400 to bring the car back into its power band. but i cant do that til i hook up the pms or an rpm extender. so for now its all i can do. but there will be more improvements in the future.

it was a great time.


i need some times with a real sidewall... those 17's just dont cut it. but for now thats all the budget has to offer. but if someone has a set of 5 lugs with some 26x10R15's id love to slap them on and go to the track.

[JuicedCpe]

Well I know that I am late but I am going to say Pete hands down- I have seen Brian in a street race- hell I was right beside him and unless his driving has GREATLY improved, Pete is going to flat out outdrive him.

i think my driving has improved. a 1.74 60' ft is not to shabyy for some 17's with an untuned suspension and rookie driver.

pete won. we were close a few times. we raced like 3 times i think. i hot lapped a few times. pete was all serious. he would run once, and then let the truck cool for like 30-45 mins and cool it off with a spray bottle of water also. but that didnt matter to me. it was a great time and i had lots of fun.

That ain't no shit either! Not only that but when your not looking he may grab 2 or 3 of your wings too. So if he say's hey, check out that girl that just walked in behind you, expect to have a wing or 2 and some fries missing when you turn back around!!!:rofl4:
