LOL yeah i said it rite well i was really bored last nite and i was headin to this chicks house well i was cruisin down the highway at about 80 and i run up on this vette. well rite as i get next to him he punches it passes me and slows down by this time i had an ear to ear smile its not often i see a guy in a vette who will actually race so i was lovin it. well i shift to third and take off as does he but theres a car in front of him and me well i went flying by the car in front of me in a diff lane he had to slow down to get by him lol. he caught back up pretty quick we slowed down again and took off and im pretty sure my car broke or something cause it wasnt moving lol only his was he was gone quicker than i could blink lol ne ways just a fun story i thought i would share

 

good and expected death ..i love when people humour you even though they know they are in a different leauge ....

 

The Pre-LS1 corvettes are fun to play with though.

 

Driving an 99 LS1 myself, its fun to compare the 2. But as we all know, the vette will rape it. The LT1 at 300 HP (92 to 96) is still pretty fast though.

 

lol i tried to get a guy in a Porsche to race me, but of course he didn't wanna play

 

Definatley an expected death, well it was nice to see another chevy guy playing around.
(The corvette guy that is).

 

I have given my buddy's 700HP Viper the ricer fly by (Hat sideways, seat as low as it can get) in my old 1990 Tcel on the way from storage last fall (Winter beater). I was laghing my ass off... he didnt see me coming ...

The 1.5 3e at 4500 RPM with a hole in the pipe... golden ...

 

About 3 weeks ago, I was at the local track and I got lined up with Cobalt SS. He didn't do too bad, he ran 14.5@100 and I ran 12.2@117 (with street tires). I was impressed with his run.

 

Must be nice being able to run a 10" wide street tire

 

Yup, it helps but still I am spinning way too much off the line. I have been able to get the 60' time down to 1.93 or so but still spins quite a bit all the way to second gear. I need to buy set of ETs or DRs.

 

I would love to get a 1.9, heck even a 2.0 or 2.1 60' on street tires. How's your 330' looking?

 

Low 5s. 5.1 - 5.2

 

That's not bad, not bad at all. I think a decent set of Drag Radials would work well for you. ET's may take off as much on the top end as you'd gain on the bottom end.

I'd bet with a decent set of DR's you'd get in the 1.7 60' range and probably a sub 5.0 330' w/ an 11.8ish 1/4 @ about the same trap speed.

 

Yeah, I agree with you about with DRs, I'll be looking at 11.8xx range. But this season is almost over (at least here St. Louis track) so I'm going to wait until next year for DRs.

I don't know if I could do it or not but I'm going to try to get 11.9xx with street tires now that the temperature is dropping quite a bit and our DA will be less that 2000. We'll see, if anything else, I'll be having fun trying.

 

Cool. Good luck with it.

Drag Racing season is really just starting here. It is finally cooling down, another month and I'll actually be running during the day, rather than at night.
