800

So, today, I had to once again listen, as Steve stirred the pot, then Mark stuck his candy-coated-carbon-fibre ass in the mix, and it just got annoying.

So, I thought I'd better dig up this thread again. It's much more fun, when everyone can abuse Mark and Steve together.

So, Steve is once again claiming "computer-based code monkey HP" gains for his "super secret squirrel" technology on his intake.

Something about 25 hp over Mark, at the wheels.

In the mean time, Mark is installing 300lbs of amps, subs, etc, and turning down the boost.

No wonder Steve is faster now...

Listen you miserable sh!t. STEVE IS NOT FASTER. He may be faster in his little grocery store world, but in the real world he's still only got a mid to high 12 second car... actually kinda like yours...weird huh.

2 big mouths with nothing but talk.

Rspct for the Steveonator. Squirrel power is grossly underestimated!

Actually, I'm currently claiming 1.3HP worth of acceleration LESS than RRG.

However, I think we ALL know my driving will MORE than make up for that. (Or rather, HIS driving won't let him win with that...)

Not to mention, I was running that with the cyclone butterflies closed the entire pull. I should have more data today. I'm also sure I'll let you guys know about it.

So, what's your best time Andy?? Please, give us a time with the car making it to the finish unbroke, will ya?

Super Secret Squirrel will rule the WORLD!

Just exorcising the last of the demons in the car.

When are we going to the track? Or should I just go by myself?

Is the plumbing for the in-car water feature leaking?

No no no.... got that fixed ages ago, but thanks for asking. Had to do that right away, the Koi were complaining.

But, Mark... at least Steve is current.
His data is current.
We're making changes today, to be faster tomorrow, and not resting on our laurels.

Take a look at your 11 second timeslip... the ink fades over time, as does the glory.
When are you going to back that up?

Shouldn't we have some sort of rule about keeping times like that current, if you want braging rights?

I mean, you don't hear Buschur crowing today, about his RWD runs, and they were awesome.

"What have you done for me lately, Eddie!"

Bong!

And Steve, I dunno... 12 something. 12.6, 12.8 somewhere around there. A couple of runs before the fuel went everywhere.

122 mph, now that's fast.

Yes it is Mike, but a high 12 at 122 is pathetic

12.1 is a high 12? I mean yes it's pathetic but it's not a high 12 .

Quit picking on Mike!
I run almost as fast with a 2 seconds slower ET

Hey, didn't Peckerhead "code-monkey" the purple guy's 11?

"Code Monkey"d and coached his driving.

Ask RRG who explained how to cut 3 tenths off his time by simply shifting when he SHOULD.

Now, if we could only get him shifting as FAST as he SHOULD.

Musta been 12.8 something, andy, 'cause I know the Uber Mongoose Money Pit hasn't beaten the Ghetto Rocket.

I never said I couldn't have done it without you guys. You guys got me there.

BUT to say an acheivement like that fades...well its just not true. No slip fades right Andy? Your 20 second slip will live on forever

As for Peckerhead. He should stick to sabotaging (sp) me, cause on his own...it's a long shot for him to beat me. Sure I've seen the video of him beating me...But I've still got the golden ticket Veruca. Stomp and complain all you want, but sooner or later the oompa loompa's will be singing a song about you

Ya but that's 117 FWD MPH. It's like dog years. To get your equivalent AWD MPH you have to divide that by like 7.

Well there ya go, pathetic of me either way you look at it

Why Steve?
Just how fast is the Ghetto Junket these days?
Aren't you running mid-11's?

The reason I have no clue precisely, is that all of my runs, were tuning attempts, and 12's weren't the goal anyhow.
So, anything less than the RRG, was pretty much ignored.

At the time, you will recall... He hadn't yet backed up the 11 we helped him get. You showed him when to shift, I showed him where to launch from.

I would be afraid of snapping shift forks too. Imagine having to remove that chromed tranny, and I don't even want to think about the potential risk to the paint job.

HE doesn't have to remove anything. He gets MY sorry ass to do that. (I just leave him stranded to put it all back together. )

Actually, Andy, he DID back-up that 11. He made a few 11 sec. runs one day at Cayuga while you were cleaning your workbench last year. When he finally got the balls to shift at 8K.

Ghetto Junket has a best of 12.6 on pump so far. (I think you got a 12.8 on race gas, no??) ALL "tuning" runs? so, you mean to tell me that since 2001, you've never even made a good pass? Wow. I'd stay out of THIS thread if I were you. It's only for those of us who actually race.

For anyone who cares: it appears leaving the cyclone butterflies closed will rob you of at least 15HP at the wheels. 15 - 1.3 = 13.7 hmmmmm....

Yes I did back it up. I actually ran a 12.1 on pump that day, and an 11.8 and 11.9 on 112 unleaded (which sucks!)

Steve, that was actually the day he said he was gonna kick my ass remember? All those tooning runs, talking to Lionel on MY cell phone. Fuel fittings breaking and spraying gas all over his nice clean engine

This thread sure does have a lot of penis.

Actually, that was the car's first day at the track, in 4 years, if you recall.

Fuel everywhere, and then the "famous DSM fabricator's" welds let go, and the WG dropped to the floor.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It would appear that not only am I still faster, but apparently I'M a better driver too

Peckernuts ran a 12.27@114 last night. Not only am I faster on pump, but I managed a 12.1@113 (last year) with almost exactly the same 60' times. So I can do a quicker ET with less MPH....hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

bahahahahahahhah

BONG

Actually, you're car WAS quicker. I'm faster.

What does the Rainbow Racer run NOW that you've added 100lbs of junk to it? I'll bet it's not 12.1's on pump anymore.

Let's go back to how this thread first started, shall we?? I couldn't beat your E.T. in the FWD, so I would just spank you on the highway.

By comparing our trap speeds, now I can do it in the AWD, too.

One good run does not make you a BETTER driver. It made you a LUCKY one. Let's look again at your usual performance shall we?

111 MPH to get a 12.6 I was quicker with only 106 MPH. Back then, I could beat you at the track, but you'd walk me on the highway.

Now, I've proven I can beat you on the highway, AND at the track. You're BEST E.T. may be quicker than mine, but one battle doesn't win the war. Does it?

You're still the loser here. I finally got to the point where I can beat you EVERYWHERE.

Now, let's look at what I DON'T need to do thaT:

I don't need a SMIM.
I don't need a 3" downpipe.
I don't need a test pipe.
I don't need a set of 272s.
I don't need a VPC.
I don't need to lower my tire pressure.

(That's right, I don't just race "pump gas". I race in "street trim". None of your playing with tire pressures, etc. I pull in, I tech, I race.)

I'm no math teacher, but I'm pretty sure if you add all that up. You're a loser.

A big purple loser, at that.

Edit: Crap!! I just realised, there's MORE stuff I don't need:

I don't need a 20G.
I don't need an external wastegate.
I don't need 660cc injectors.

^^^^^^

PPG = O3NED!!!

Hold on there Mr magical math.

First of all, other than that stoopid video you keep linking to, you've only beaten me a "few" times for one reason or another. So what? I'm far from perfect

My point remains, I'm still faster. You wanna run an 11, STFU and spend some money on a test pipe, or some race gas. If you wanna be cheap that's your problem. If you wanna beat me, then step up bitch

Here's what you need to remember. Aside from the SMIM I have done NOTHING to the car in years. EVERYTHING from the 20g to the VPC is old school. Could I rebuild a faster car for cheaper now, HELL yes. Am I gonna go out and buy MORE stuff for the car, hell no. At least not until you beat me

You started building this car only a couple of years ago. Have things changed in the DSM world since I bought all my stuff 5-10 years ago? I think so.

And as I told you tonight, I found some old notes from the weigh scales on the 407 from a couple of years ago. the weight hasn't really changed. It's still a big fat pig, but it's still faster than you.

Peckerhead

Beating you I can do. It's beating you EVERY time that I haven't mastered yet. Kinda like golf... not EVERY hole can be your best one.

Sure, stuff has changed, but that doesn't change the fact that I can get more for less. I'm not talking $$ here, I'm talking equipment. I'm not running anything "new school" that you're not.

Unless 2.5" downpipes, and cats are considered new, and improved, DSM mods.

Oh, wait.. maybe you mean the intake manifold I'm using that's older than your car?

Now, go follow your rainbow to that man-filled hot tub on the other side.

:rolleyes:

Ok you're right....it must be the rust that makes you so fast

This is going to be off topic, but I was wondering who was the FIRST member to join this forum. Who has the member status #1!

Apparently, whoever it was, has been purged

http://www.ca.dsm.org/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=directory;d=browse;sorder=0

Go figure, parts man has the top spot

Now lets get out of here, we're too damn slow to be in here.
Oh wait, my car is somewhat in pieces... Maybe I qualify

lol SO we don't know the first two members that joined this forum. Maybe Andrew would know lol.

No we talked about this once before....but I can't remember. Either was it doesn't relate directly to how long you've been here, cause I helped start this place and I'm #119



now either make fun of Steve, or go see Waldo

Why Steve, I thought you bought a car and painted it pink! umm... I mean purple.

Member number 1, was me.
Mark and Steve were right there in the top 3 too.

Problem was, one day in the very early days of the UBB, the member database got corrupted, and for a few hours one morning, it started overwriting members from #1 onward.

Adam happened to re-apply that morning, so he got #3. By the time I found it, we were up to #10.

It was easier at the time, to just correct the problem, and leave the results. The other 8 below #10, disappeared over time.

PS: You're both slow.

Shootout coming, and no sh!t talking?

Or are we all just glad the cars are actually road-worthy and running, and don't want to jinx it?

Yeah pretty much. The new HG is in and the fingerprints all cleaned up....looks good, runs good, pulls hard at 20psi.

Picking up some C16 this week. Started packing

Wooooooohooooooo

What could be more fun than not being on call, drinking beer and making fun of you and Steve!

... me getting an 11 on pump before either of you clowns.

Shouldn't be too hard... one of you doesn't know how to line up a crank sprocket, and the other can't set base fuel pressure.



I'll save the sh!t talking for Sunday night. When you won't be able to stop me.

Yeah, and you who can't line up a timing belt?

Unless you were trying to beat me by making my car not run right...

As for him...no comment
