Well unless you trap 130+ I would never race bikes, so that could possibly make me 0-1 but even my bolt on car can stomp a c3. So you need to pick your battles better.

Car's running like a champ, just put in a new 255lph FP and short throw, so next time I'm at the track I'll be using the 200 shot Still having a hard time justifying the LE3 package to myself though. I've got the money but I also have bills. I don't know what I'm gonna do.

RS31, I would def stay away from the bikes man. I have an '02 CBR 600cc, and I went 11.65@123.89mph. And I suck at launching...lol. With license plates like that, better upgrade fast! Nice lookin car though.

Chaz, I'm in the same boat. I want a set of heads real bad, but it's like $2500 for good heads and hopefully 40 rwhp, or $1000 for nitrous and over 100 rwhp.

maybe I would rather race from a race roll now anyways, Tires are cashed so the whole getting traction thing doesnt happen very easy. lol

I've already got the juice, so it's really the last step for the car(unless I do forced induction).

i always lose in the sixer.

you need an lt1. no one even TRIES racing me (except this guy with a TB SS...i stomped him). lt1s just dont lose

Posted By: 91_gta On: 07-25-2007 @ 15:30:42     Reply | Top | Edit
Well tell that to the lt1 drivers around here. lol

There is 3 of them only 1 one them knows what he is doing.

95 lt1 auto
best time of 14.3

96 lt1 auto
best time 14.5

My friends lt1 is the best running lt1 I have ever seen

Bone stock yes bone stock and it runs 13.6-13.7 with 1.6 60 times all day long. (auto)

i think his is just a factory freak, When he told me what it ran I laughed at him and then that next week he was laughing at me saying I told you so. lol

I kind of agree, for those of us that have been 1.6 60's, we know it doesn't happen with stock cars, running higher 13s on stock gears and street radials. 1.8s could be possible, but a 1.6 on a bone stock car is something that doesn't happen.

Umm just because a family member drag races, doesn't mean a car can automatically defy the laws of physics and logic. A "freak" would yank a 1.8 60', a 1.6 is impossible without something done to aid in traction! Not knocking you, he might have told you what it did, but without proof, I don't believe it for a second, and I have been 1.6 60's and faster in many, many cars!
