i nearly guarantee you will run 14's. the 350's that came in 3rd gens nearly all wont run 13's with minor mods. i see a lot of people pissed on the boards cuz they have a 350 and are still runnin mid 14's, but i have yet to see someone that goes to the track with the usual mods and run a high 13. i am sure there are some out there but not many. i still believe you definately have the advantage on all these cars tho, so dont worry and good luck.

Oh man, are you looking for a rude awakening driver of the GTA. You are going to see the light when all you see is the back of that Camaro with NOS. As for that Buick, it is amazing what a Buick can do...even if it's a 1989 Buick Le Sabre 4.6 Liter automatic. That Buick could definently take you. You have no chance to win. 14's, I laugh at the thought of your car with 14's. Maybe, MAYBE 15 but not 14 and I know that Camaro will beat you. Oh and you are lucky, RX-7's have the reputation as one of the fastest cars on street, if he can't pass 110, there is something and you better hope he doesn't get it fixed or you are going to get beat by your friends and bad. You have no chance, as for the bait crap, you are dumb to do that, you are someone with a big head and thinks his car is *** . You will realize, and would I laugh if you lost. And one more thing, if you can't street race, then you are a ***** , street racing is the bases of all racing.

IBAGTAHATER

Oh and the Nissan 300ZX...That car wouldn't even have to try to beat you, his clutch could be burned completely, his engine missing, and missing a tire and still beat you. You better be ready because you have no chance. Another thing on racing numb nuts, its not the car that makes a winner, its a driver and for someone who has never raced, you suck as a driver and can kiss your unbelievable 14 good bye.

IBAGTAHATER

So...We took the bait huh? Good try! Thanks to Travis, we have seen what you think and where your times are being confirmed. Man I told my dad that you said you could run 14's, he laughed and laughed and laughed, then I told him about Christian's car and how you could "beat" him. He laughed and laughed and laughed, just try to call my dad stupid especially to my face, he has taken apart cars and put the back together, he knows more about cars than you ever will know and he knows that your car has no chance to beat Christian's and I believe him. You have no chance to beat Christian and that is a fact. You can study up all you want about racing but you will never, EVER be a good enough racer to beat me, or Stephen. You think racing on a track makes it official, you want to see how well your car does, race me and Stephen on the street, we will see who wins. I promise that you have no chance and should think about who you are dealing with. I am a person of a lot of anger. Try to call my dad dumb, I promise you that I won't just tell you to stop. Try me Badgett, you make think you're bad, you are nothing when it comes to racing.

Hey moderator, if you're reading, I'll post times at a later date on a different post. Close this post and let me and the angered friend of mine settle this somewhere else.

Thanks.

Let me get this straight the dude with the buick lesabre thinks he even has a chance. Sounds like some wannabe chump *****. Who the hell races around on the street in a V6 lesabre anyway? I think that even if u didn't have anymods done to your car you'd still kill him. He probably couldn't even beat my 97 cav Z24.
By the way ibagtahater if your dad doesn't think his car will run 14s than I don't think he knows what hes talking about. Just b/c you've taken a part and put back together cars doesn't mean u know a lot bout cars just shows u can follow instructions.

I don't give a flying **** for the guy who recently typed, i have no interest in you and wish the worst of luck. For Badgett, i will tell you this, i am not playing any longer, you should take your own words for advice, say it to my face instead of trying to "bait" me into racing you. i will say this, you have a nice car, i never said you didn't, and i never said i would definently beat you, but i said i have a better chance than you think. If you want a confrontation, you can have it, i am all for it. If you want to back off, you better do so now and choose your words carefully with me. Im willing to forget all of this, i do believe this is childish and if you want to resolve it, fine, we shall do so. But I will not be at the track and i told you this already, im visiting my brother which is more important and i explained to him this situation, he laughed. Oh and you talk about my smack, well watch your own mouth hypocrite and see what you say. One last thing, don't hide behind a message board or you friends, im right here.

Ahahahahaha, this makes me laugh, you think a 90 or so LeSabre will run with a L98?

A 1990 Buick LeSabre runs 0-60 in 9.5 seconds, it can complete the quarter mile in 17.1 seconds. It WON'T, I REPEAT won't hang with a 350.

A 1987 L98 will run a 14.5, and take about 6.3 seconds to get to 60.

I'm pretty sure your car FEELS fast, but it isn't as fast as a 350 GTA. I bet even some TBI cars will kill you.

I think that this guy thinks that his LeSabre is a Grand National. You are in for a rude awakening man.

IBAGTAHATER, you the one with the LeSabre?

Is it stock?

If it is, all I have to say is HAHA.

Dude you got a lot of pent up anger, maybe u should see bout enrolling in some kind of anger management course or something. The guy just wants to race u to prove that his car is faster, there's no need to go threatening him that's just childish. Personaly I wouldn't even bother to race someone like u. U take the whole thing way to seriously racing is susposed to be fun.

what a joke, my dad's been a mechanic for 26 years and I still dont believe a damn word he has to say about a performance engine. Racer and mechanic are two entirely different people.

I love racing and Id love to beat every car I race but I know itll never happen....so just chill your 4.6 LeSabre out and save it for the old man car bracket or something

ws6formula89

The LeSabres came with 3.8 liters, no other motor was an option....except for the 89-below LeSabre 4-dr wagon. Those were 5.0 liters. But if it was a V6, it's a 3.8L.

Those had 18 second timeslips, but are no match for a f-car. Especially a 350.

The GTA can't run 14s, but runs 15s? Bwahahahaha!

The TBI RS usually runs very low 16s. The best timeslip for my 89 Formula TBI was 15.7 with the AC/PS/Smog/Alternator bypassed, and lots of weight taken away, not to mention I had no wheelspin. If my car was stock, and I took it to the track and tried to run it like it came out of the showroom, I would run a 16.2 or so.

But the LeSabre still won't be any match any F-Car. Jeez, the 3.1 probably still could beat it.

ok,N/A RX's arent considered the quickest street cars,theyre quick,dont get me wrong,but an older(non-rotary) RX is dead slow w/o a turbo....
and as previously stated,when did any N/A RX7
pull 110MPH's in the traps???
you're just like the guys who said my 130k mile 305 couldnt pull better than high 15's..
and as i did them,i laugh in your ace for not knowing what you are talking bout.....
and by the way,as also previously stated,since when was street racing the basis for all drag racing???
lol,as FLY aid,street racing is for those who wont/cant go to the track,or are just too afraid to go to the track,or the few who find people stupid enough to run highlymodded cars with basically stock POS's
since when were N/A 300ZX's fast???
lol,if its a TT its a low 14 second car from the factory with a good driver...a turbo-less 300ZX is a slow POS that would run low 16's/high 15's

Im not gonna btoher with this any longer

I know this topic is basically closed, but I just have to step in on the Rx7's behalf... an '86 should be able to top out around 130 MPH and if it is a twin turbo (which they made that year) it will pull 150 (top speed) or more... 255 Hp is nothing to laugh about in a 2000 pound car... I also have to point out that the person who posted "110" didn't say it was through the trap at that speed...

The second gen Rx7's were also capable of fitting the 13G 2.0 L Rotary engine and that puppy could easilly make 300 Hp N/A so I would say 110 through the traps should be no problem... I have seen first gen Rx7's pulling 9.50 and lower... that's just sick! So maybe you should do some research on these awesome cars (and engines), you just may be convinced to buy one...

First flames topic... An update since it's the day after the track date...

Nobody went, sorry. Here's the deal: We're all 17 and didn't know we had to have
A)A parent at the track and
B) a waiver/permission form signed.

Since the parents work and we found this out the night before we went (on Thursday), there was no chance of any of us going. This has however managed to get the blood pumping in all of us. Many of the guys thought to be going turned out to be too broke to drag race (can't afford 15 bucks) and instead are street racing tonight.

Thanks for all the responses, and I'll be going to the track next week for sure (dad's off and going). As for the other guys, they've decided to stick to whatever they do best.

One question though...The Friday Night racing at the track I go to is set up like street racing (no yellow lights, just red and green). Will this hurt my times?

Once again thanks to all, and happy thirdgening.

redhottlb9

ok,street racing involving "muscle" cars such as thirdgens usually dont involve top end,granted some can,but on average its the 1/4 mile that matters..how often do u have an opportunity to hit 130 on a street???

I know id never buy one,yeah theyre kinda cool,and having rebuilt a Wankle(rotary) engine back in high school,i was intrigued,but ill stick to SBC's and turbo 3.8's thank you...as far as having to do research,yeah all that crap can be done to rotaries,however,just as much crap can be done to a SBC and make it fast....
not knocking your opinion,but ya make it seem like it should be everyones'
