Yep.. 13.7 with major boost leaks....

What was YOUR last 1/4 mile time?

Ever get more than one 13.2??

I can show you several 13.1 slips..

(Bring the Talon next Friday.. We'll see just how econo it's become )

It's all about driving Vince. Actually, I'm pretty sure I got that quicker E.T. with 4mph less than your 13.2...

Still using pump gas as well. <sigh> Nothing like clinging to a single timeslip you got 3 years ago...

The talon is in need of a rear wheel bearing/hub replacement, the part is coming in today if you want to give me a hand putting it in .

But as I said, the talon is retired from drag racing, unless I stumble onto some money to install cams and injectors I have sitting in the basement.

But rememebr Steve, you have a few more Key mods than I did when I ran my 13,2 @ 105mph and talk about boose leaks, I couldn't get the intake system to hold even 1psi! I was pupming in 30psi and the highest the gauge would read was 5psi, instantly dropping to 0psi when I shut the compressor off... now those are boost leaks :rolleyes:

A few more mods?

Oh.. you mean like an exhaust that's attached to the car??

I ran a 13.5 with the STOCK 1.75" exhasut, still faster than that 13.7. This was with my huge intake leek.

By more mods I mean FMIC, AFC, 550cc injecotrs, hks regrinds... I'm sure there's more that I've forgotten.

My car was pretty much stock compaired to the mods you have and you only managed .1s over me

You better be breaking 12's the next time you hit the 1/4mile or we'll be calling you PPG #2.

HUH??

FMIC??? Nope.

SAFC?? Nope.

Regrinds?? Nope.

Vince: Put the crack pipe down!

You ARE right about one thing though: (and, for you, that's actually pretty impressive! ) A 13.2 IS faster than a 13.7. However, if we're comparing slips, so far I have a best of 13.1, and a worst of 13.7. You've got a best of 13.2 (Using your amazing math skills, I'm sure you can see that it's slower than a 13.1). You haven't mentioned your worst though... I'm willing to bet it's WAY slower than a 13.7 .

Keep clinging to that (one) old slip Vince, I realize it's all you've got.

Watching you two argue about your 13s is a lot like watching the special olympics, only you guys aren't as good looking.

BONG!

Wow the slow guys sure can argue a lot . It's kind of like watching two gay guys arguing over who has the highest sperm count... in the end it doesn't matter .

I'm surprised Vince hasn't used his
Ricer Math skills . Oh boo. Topic no longer exisits.

I thought you transfered all your stuff from the FWD to your AWD???

And yes, I think one time i ran a 16.5 or something but that was when I was setting the MBC, saw it go way over 25psi in first and coasted the rest of the run....

Now, lets talk MPH

If I wanted to talk MPH, I would have kept the FWD.

Actually, you're right... LET'S talk MPH. First of all, can you explain why you needed 105MPH to get a 13.2, when obviously, all you need to do better is 100 MPH.

Have you been going to the PPG school of driving?

In short... yes!

Mike, Mike, Mike.

425 AWHP, and times like THAT?!

Don't you know your E.T. is supposed to go DOWN when you get an AWD??

(You know, like going from a 13.6 to a 13.1..)



Ok, we've all heard MY excuses.. lets hear yours.

That was a training session to learn how to launch it . 15 psi on pump... just wait my friend , all in good time.

I cant say I wasnt disapointed when I saw your sig mike.

Hows the boost in first gear?
Traction issues?

Don't be disappointed. I was learning how to launch and my boost was at 15 psi through 3r and 4th .

Boost in 1st? I have no idea, my eyes never left the tach in 1st. I really only had one half decent launch all night (1.89) and that was my second last.

This car and I should see mid 12 on pump gas once I up the boost and get the driving down.

Best of luck!

Well, leaving in about 45min. to go watch run some more 12's in his 11sec car.

At least he's "faster than Geri-Curl", right Mark?

Sigh.. it's a shame. It appears you can outrun the Geri-Curl, but you'll NEVER outrun your past.

Have fun guys... wish I was able to go

Sigh...

Yes I did run some more 12's this year. No great surprise there.

What I am amazed by, is your inability to spell. All shootout weekend I kept finding these stupid pictures of me and some funny word. GERI? wasn't that the hot bitch on Survivor? Its Jheri-curl you peckerhead. And I never wore the ****. I had Gel.

btw, would you like to borrow any of my 12 second time slips? I have a bunch...

how about you?

Thats what I thought

now fix my member title

Sorry, your wife only gave me the picture (well, that's all she gave me THAT time ). I didn't get a bottle of your "Jheri-Curl" to read the label from.

You're right, I don't have any 12 sec timeslips. I ALSO don't have a 20G, a BR FMIC, a VPC, and SAFC, an EVC, or a 3" DP/TP.

I DO still have ALL my hair though. (I've noticed you've started to take some of yours off.. or, is that happening naturally?)

Christ, at THIS rate you'll be bald LONG before I get my head shaved!

Now kiddies... play nice or I'll turn this DSM around and go straight home!

I'm so happy that someone else can now talk trash to Kinnaird

But you both are still traitors!!!!

Anyone else who has thier baby in storage sufferring from the itch? I'm dying, I want all the snow and salt gone now!!! Maybe next year I should get a 1G AWD winter beater.

I'll bring her out on Groundhogs to see if she sees her shadow or not.

Bong.

If by some miracle the salt is washed away by some rain and then it remains warm for a few days...

Insurance day-pass

Oh I've got the itch alright, but the fact that my car is in pieces right now is stopping me from getting a day pass to AWD Turboland.

Vrrrooommm Pssstt... People look at me funny for some reason when I'm driving my explorer and yelling that out the window, I don't know why but they do.

MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm......

Snow doughnuts. <drooollll..>

You bunch of suckers. You have NO idea how much fun your missing.

Nothing like just cranking the wheel at 30km/h, sliding sideways into 14" of snow, and just spinning around forever.

Or uber long sideways turns.

MMMMMmmmmmmmmmm......

BAH

AWD IS THE GHEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bring Waldo's thread back down.

Your GHEY, you bike ridin freak.......wait a sec, I wish I had a bike........I mean I hate you.

I highly advise not to get an insurance day pass. You know wot happon' last time... stuck in 6 inches of snow with 215/40R17 summers...

Boo Urns

Just so you know what you're up againt Waldo... this thread has been alive since 2001...

wow its been around almost as long as your car has been apart!

But I still think my thread can hit 11.99 in 1/4 mile faster then PPG's car can. BOOOOOOONG! (Did I do that rite?)

The CAR wil run 11's easy.

It's the DRIVER that's the problem. (I've seen the logs of his shifts. I thought he was at a stoplight.)

Actually, you can hear an example on another thread. Listen to that 1-2 shift.

OUCH!

Beat me?
JEEZ...enjoy that one time. It was quite obvious I wasn't trying

besides, I may take a little longer than I should to get down the 1/4, but at least I look good doing it

and Andy, at least I can do it.

I'd post a sound clip of your car...but crickets chirping seems unfitting of this forum

All I hear in this thread is 11s this and 11s that. Man, I'm so confused.

Is 11s the amount of time it takes Steve K and Mike J to eat a crow after admitting AWD is in fact, better after all?

Or is 11s the amount of time it takes Andy to clean his workbench? I hear he's got it down to a science since apparantly that's the only work he's done in his garage for 3 years?

Or is 11s the time it takes PPG to shift from 1st to second?

Or maybe it's the time it takes to say BOOOOOOONG!
