"*******"....haaaaaahaaaaaaa LOLOLOL How many of the three brain cells you have did you use to think up that one? No s*** Sherlock, tips dont constitute a "built up" exhaust. But let me ask this..even if i had ONLY these here "ghetto cannons" on there, would that be stock? Meaning, would it have come from the factory that way? That isnt in the original intended factory/make/model design, therefore its NOT stock. So your "stock engine" claim is total horses**t, and has no credibility. IF those are the only mods to the motor(which i doubt), then no, the engine would not be "built up." But its not stock either. BTW...read your post again...i am not talking about the car, i am talking about the motor. I already proved my point with the car.

If every TA made in 98 came with aftermarket headers, pulleys, nitrous, exhaust cut-out, and whatever other mods you dont wish to talk about, then you can claim your "stock-ness." People would actually believe you then, and in effect of people believing what you say, and you having credibility instead of being viewed as a deceptive con arguing a point that he knows has no backbone to support the claims he makes, while trying to fool people to believe something that isn't true, this thread wouldn't have to end up in such a manner.

Here you go:...used Vig3600----$450
...............asp pulley------$140
...............mac headers-----$480
...............used air lid----$75
........used wheels and tires--$700
...............cutout----------$29
...............total price.....$1874
Thats good enough for 12.21@111mph and yes that was with 290ish rwhp with a race weight of 3400lbs.

To the little beeotchh that said we where gay. Just because i reject that scank you call a mother doesnt make me gay.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">let's see:
292 RWHP vs 470 RWHP
2.73 gears + auto vs 3.73 gears +6-speed
they both ran identical E.T. street tires</font>
Those WERE your words. YOU purposely left out the the fact that Shawn's car had Nitrous on that run - period. That's what everybody is "bitching" about, as you said. And as to what we could all learn from your post, Well, I say as long as we don't get to know all the details and facts, then what the hell could anyone learn. If that other car is truly making 470 RWHP, then 12.40's are WAY off!! My brother's 3865# (race weight)truck has run a best of 12.43 @ 107.8, and it only dynoed 403HP on the chassis dyno. So either the guy totally can't drive the car or there was something wrong on that pass, because with a 116 MPH trap speed that car capable way more 12.40's and if you knew anything about racing you would know that. And you say, "*stick cars can never react as fast as an automatic car." well, I'll use your favorite word, Dhuh!! Cars don't ever react, thats up to the driver. Go to a NMRA Mustang Event and tell me about stick cars with GOOD DRIVERS reaction times. Also, while you're there, check out all the 8, 9, and 10 sec CENTRIFUGAL SUPERCHARGED cars there, ya know, the kind that don't drag race well. And just in case anyone is interested, I have 2 sets of 2.73 gears for 7.5 rearends since I was STUPID and replaced them with lower ones. I always thought that gears made my cars faster, and so did the time clock, but I guess we were wrong... I guess the guys in the booth made my times better on paper because they felt sorry for me!!! I have drag raced for years and helped dozens of guys with their cars, I consider it an insult, as do most people who know what they're talking about, when I read posts like that. Granted there is a lot of time on the clock to be gained by tweaking, tuning, and actually racing your car to find its best shift point, the way it launches best and so forth, but you implyed that a 292 RWHP car ran 11.4 because it was power-tuned, which we all know now is bull s h i t. If you don't want to be discredited, called a liar, or whatever, don't post half-told stories, leaving out key elements to make yourself or your friend's look good. Because now, even though I was skeptical about your car's performance with the info you gave, now there's probably no way I would believe what you said was true. Do you care?? Of course you don't. Do I care?? No. But to me and I lot of other guys, probably anything else you ever say will be considered BS. I just hope the less experienced guys that don't know better don't invest too much into, and get let down. Disclosing information trying teach people a "lesson" is uncool.

You attain that your engine is stock, and what I consider a stock engine is one that has no internal modications, which is what you claim and I have no reason to doubt you.
That is a very repectable time for your set-up. But like you stated, your car ran a 12.21 with no nitrous, and the OBD implied that I car with 292 RWHP ran 11.4, that is what all the uproar is really about. If you read his original post, and didn't have any other info about your car, you would think the same thing we did. You know the car, because, well its yours !! but we don't. We are used to these kinds of posts by the OBD. Well, tired, I should say. But that other car, for whatever reason is not running to its full potential. Whether it be driver, tuning or whatever. I guarantee you give me car 6 speed car making 470RWHP with a good set of slicks, and I'll get it much lower than 12.40's How is he launching the car?? Is he powershifting it?? I am just curious as to why it isn't running any faster. its NOT too much gear and its NOT that a centrifugal supercharger is no good, there are several Vortec and Procharger SC'ed LTI and LSI Camaro/Firebirds around here in my area running faster than both of you not to mention about all the Paxton, ProCharger and Vortec SC'ed Mustangs around here running 8's, 9's and 10's - yes, sad, but true. I'd just like to know why that car is so slow. But anyway, I have nothing against you, and respect your cars performance. I really have nothing against the OBD personally, I just get tired of reading his "ALL-KNOWING, You all could learn how to make your cars go fast if you just listen to me" style posts. I have never learned anything from any of his posts. I learn from working on and racing my cars. I also learn a lot about my RS (the fuel injection stuff) from the guys on the TBI board that race and work on their cars. I have always raced carbs, but my get around town, looks much faster than it really is, 25 mpg car is has TBI, and by tweaking, tuning the car, meaning gears, Vette Servo, exhaust and ignition and a little help on the EFI system, which I didn't know much about, I've been able to take a car that ran 15.80's stock to 14.90's with no internal engine mods. Is that fast?? Hell no. Is it more fun to drive and feel much faster? Yes. And like I said it gets 25 MPG, looks good, sounds good and keeps a lot of mileage off my new Z71. My point is, just because you came to this board under fire because what someone else said about your car, don't hold it against everyone. There are some really great guys here, and pretty much most people welcome new members. Just in the future, I would recommend YOU doing your own talking instead of letting OBD get you in fight
Later

TA2slow1,

I'm only going to say this once. Whether you agree or disagree with the people who are calling you and ODB on some **** talking, you will respect this site or you won't be on it. Your first post ever and you fling out trash talk about the people here and how GAY they are. Not a good way to start out. Keep it clean and mature.

New Best ET: 14.91 @92.9 ??

Besset Racing? if this is the kind of performance that place cranks out then it and you are a joke. Why don't you stop being a bitch and shut up?

and what about this other world-beater you're building. Why not run it at the track since it's been open for months now? hiding from embarrassment?

I never hid anything about nitrous on Shawn's car.. it's posted on this board and all over the streetracer board that I referenced in my original post. Get over it bitch. I didn't have to say anything to make his car look good... all I needed to do was post the link to the video and it says everything.

I was a little bit off on a few details, but there is more to it that equals things out. I didn't count wheels & tires in the cash amount invested mods. Both cars had the same rear tires. But I stand corrected about Chris' car.. it has closer to $18,000 in modifications. Shawn can run 12.2 all night in crap air and easy elevens in good air. He would've obviously beat the incredible supercharged vorturd machine even on the motor so why bother arguing the point of him using nitrous? You are just being a little bitch like I already said.


ok ok here's another detail that I DID leave out about that race. Chris (vorturd) and his enterage of cronies put icewater in the aftercooler, iced down the engine, and pushed it all the way through the staging line at the track before this run.
Chris did NOT do this at the dyno when pulled 488rwhp.
So now take this important detail and smoke it. If you can't learn anything from my post then that doesn't say much about your ability for deduction.
The more people that don't listen to what I say the better because it's much easier to beat those people... like yourself Mr Besset racing. When are you coming to get some?
I will race you with my dodge omni, bitch.

You pompous *** ! You think we read every post you make? LOL I can't believe you are SO ARROGANT to think that we should KNOW THAT SHAWN RUNS NITROUS!


ODB you are worse than than Bill Clinton. You believe your own lies. You said in your first post that Shawn ran 11.4 with 292rwhp. Stop denying it.

The point is NOT what his car ran. The point is YOU SAID IT RAN 11.4 with 292rwhp, which is complete bull. Stop rationalizing your lies and come clean. He didn't run 11.4 with 292rwhp. It was more like 292 + nitrous.

ODB, for the final time the whole uproar is not about how fast shawns car is.

The uproar is about how you tried to mislead us to believe shawn made the run with 292rwhp.

292 RWHP sure. Why not just say 10 RWHP. I'm sure at some point the engine makes 10 RWHP. C'mon. Your whole argument is based on deceptions and half truths.
