That sucks dude but I feel ya. It'd be cool if ya can make it, either way we need to get together sometime. Let me know if that HPT thing works out. Thanks again for the help on tht

ZZ3Astro

Hmm not looking good attendance-wise for the dragstrip tomorrow. RamAir isn't gonna make it. Haven't heard from 92Firebird and my local friend isn't gonna make it either. Still, I might go if anyone else goes. I did put a special 14.5 psi tune in tonight so it would be entertaining to see what happens.

RamAirZ

We are heading back early in the morning, my uncle started doing better so we decided to bring the kids back. If I get back in time I might make it. How late are they open?

ZZ3Astro

Till about 4-430 probably. They won't run the lights.

92firebird 305

hey give me a call zz3

ZZ3Astro

Ok boys, so far the weather for next Sunday (23rd) is looking the same as this past Sunday. I know of several people planning to go. Who's up for it THIS time around? Don't be chickens! LOL

92firebird 305

Count me out Steve-O, but I'll be thinking about Dirtneck Flawduh while I'm playing at the Ski Resort.

RamAirZ

lol sounds like fun Travis. Did that stuff work for your HPT? I'm scheduled to work sunday but it's at night so even if I can't get the day off I should still be able to go.

02 WS6 TA

iTrader: (1)

Didn't work on the existing laptop, bought a new, ridiculously expensive HP, results still TBD.

ZZ3Astro

Travis you playing in the snow again? Didn't I see a pic a while back of your truck running around in the snow in some parking lot? You damn rich folk always be gotting second homes in other cities and stuff! LOL

btw don't come back to PC.. it sucks

RamAirZ

lol I was just up in the snow, but no resort for me, family emergency That sucks Travis, hopefully you get it figured out (for you not for me, that would suck to have paid all that money and not be able to use it)

02 WS6 TA

iTrader: (1)

Haha, rich folk. Step away from the crack pipe. I tend to make a Gatlinburg Run around this time every year, so I gotta go show my *** in the snow again- It's tradition.

I'll get it sorted out, it's just annoying.

RamAirZ

LOL carefull who you show your *** to up there! Ya I feel ya on the annoying thing, I'm dealing with laptop problems myself right now which are pissing me off!

ZZ3Astro

Alright looking good for this weekend Sunday... temps in the 50's no rain. Got RamAirZ confirmed and I should be going pending an investigation into my coolant leak. Several friend of mine going so it should be a fun day at the track.

Anyone else gonna show?

Jim7463

Panama City here as well, transplanted from Ft Walton Beach in 2000. Have a white '91 w/305. Had no idea our thirdgens were so represented in the panhandle. Am sure I've seen all of you on the road over the years. Would enjoy meeting up with fellow enthusiasts to talk shop!

ZZ3Astro

Well cool deal... come up to the drag strip tomorrow! 92Firebird305 said he's coming and RamAirZ is as well. Would love to meet some other third genner's here in PC, I only know a couple and none from the forum except RamAirZ, but he's 4th gen now.

RamAirZ

I'm thirdgen at heart!

RamAirZ doing a lonnng 2.73 burnout. I just realized he was just about at half track before shifting into second! Time for gears me thinks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AghKU3eKXCc

Me handing it to a pretty quick lil 5.0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9zQ84-32CY

The quick 5.0 giving RamAirZ a bit of a spanking
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-rwBmbEQG4

RamAirZ

stock cam, after the track yesterday there's no way lol. That last run with the 5.0 was my worst run of the day and after the hypertech tune, lost 2.5mph (82 on that run) and a full tenth. Stock tune is back in it now. My car is running super rich too. Hoping to get it worked out before our next trip. It REALLY needs a stall, and I wasn't trying to save my DR's Steve lol. The longest burnout of the day netted my worst 60ft, 2.0 on 2.73's and stock stall is the norm, sucks cuz I was so pissed I couldn't get it down in the 1's. Had alot of fun out there, Steve's car is running great for a stock 350 and on street tires lol, and that Mustang is really quick, not a bad driver either.


edit: Just went through my timeslips, my best run was the first run of the day lol. 8.711@83.74 with 2.081 60, Best 60ft was 2.070 all day, and best mph was 84.02

ZZ3Astro

Yeah in that burnout video you can see the black smoke rolling as you get up in the rpm. If you're trapping 84 mph with that tune you won't have a problem handling that mustang with a tune and the right converter/gear combo.

I still say rear mount turbo!! No, wait... I don't want to get beat LOL

RamAirZ

lol! I actually might be getting rid of this toy and building something that's not a DD, text me for info. Got a nice offer yesterday. I thought trapping 84 with my 60ft was pretty good, I think with just a converter change I'd see a huge difference. I honestly didn't feel it spin much at all off the line.

KMK454

It seems like our center of mass may be somewhere between Pensacola and Destin with a few out by Panama City.

I hear Pensacola has the Burger King meet most Saturday nights. Has anybody been to it or does anyone know more info?

Maybe we can pick a weekend and all try to meet up at the event...

RamAirZ

I used to go to the BK meets when I lived there, usually a decent turnout (nothing huge) and they organize it and have oldies music and what not.

KMK454

Could be a good spot to potentially meet up... maybe find a weekend with good weather and go. What club runs it?

Also, there's this coming up in Panama City:
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=125016

It's a Florida Mopar show but supposedly open to all types of cars.

02 WS6 TA

iTrader: (1)

Camaro5? Yeah, let me go ahead and pass.

ZZ3Astro

Pensacola is a long haul for us from PC. I have a friend over there I can stay with though and I'm always up for a ride. Destin is close to everyone though. Not more than 1:15 hr from any of us.

KMK454

It was actually a flyer posted on their website... it's not a Camaro 5 event. It's a Mopar Club classic car event in Panama City, and they're open to all cars (non-Mopars).

Here's a sterile, non-Camaro5 link

Anybody hittin the drag strip this weekend?

ZZ3Astro

Not me

02 WS6 TA

I'm familiar with the show, went last year. It's a LX group circlejerk, where they see how many ways they can sensationalize their platform, and pretend to like the Gen 5 Camaros just to draw a few entrants. The only redeeming quality outside of a few charity dollars raised was that the Camaro 5 guys didn't realize the Mopar guys were looking down their noses at them. Car shows for the most part have become cult gatherings, where everyone is better than you. I'm having a car show at my house next weekend- Because I can.

Any plans for a meet anytime soon

showngo92 havnt seen your car anywhere in tally do you ever drive your?

ZZ3Astro

Nothing official at the moment. Pretty soon the Panama City car clubs will start up their saturday evening events. That would be a cool place to meet up.. basically an unofficial car show that is held at various locations around town almost every saturday evening of the year (except in the winter). We just all drive up and park together and hang out.

How is the scene over in Tallahassee these days?

rob2000gt

iTrader: (1)

sounds fun to me. When is winter over here it feels like spring to me. This is my first winter in Fl.

KMK454

Same here. Seems like very few things are going on, though. I see a ton of third gens in Destin, FWB, Niceville, and Crestview...

92firebird 305

there is a car meet every saturday at the swamp on okaloosa island in fwb

rob2000gt

iTrader: (1)

I have not seen any 3rd gens at all exept the one on s monroe st guy wont sell needs a fuel pump and lots of body work. I think its a v6

ZZ3Astro

Isn't the swamp a bunch of ***** types... evo's and stuff?

OMG rycers in the proper spelling is banned? Get real thirdgen.org. Is that an offensive term now? Next we won't even be able to say *****!

Well the less third gens there are around the more we get noticed I suppose

5.SLOW

Theres quite a few "rycers" at the meets at the swamp that would hand us our butts on a platter in a race.....its quite a large meet up and everyone usually maintains a certain respect that modifying cars to make them go fast and look good is pretty universal regardless of what you drive.....

RamAirZ

I'll bring the truck so we can tailgate!

rob2000gt

Im new to this area so I dont know where this swamp is at all

Truck meet, shake things up. Thats my theme this year.

RamAirZ

sounds like a plan Travis! Got some new parts coming for it soon lol

KMK454

I do trucks as well... 78 Silverado.

I'll have to see what the Swamp meet is all about. Should be sunny this weekend...

ZZ3Astro

Half the fun in this hobby is to make fun of the styles of vehicles you didn't choose for yourself. All that respect crap just takes away from the fun!

Yes I know a bunch of those swamp guys thru a local forum. So does 02 WS6 and I think he'll agree that they really don't give a sh_t for domestic rwd's. You could have a turbo 9 second ride but they'd still be much more impressed with a 240 running 13 seconds. I bet 02 WS6 concurs.

Still, I'd roll up there with some other third gens. I don't mind getting laughed at and I like my car.. that's why I chose it! And I'll never understand the idea behind 'building' a stripped out civic and then complaining about 60 foot times!

rob2000gt

iTrader: (1)

I dont understand why someone will take a very slow car like a Civic put a $1500 turbo in it, then get beat by my stock GTA that i payed $1500 for the whole car. why start with a slow car when you can start with something better. I would roll with you in there. what time and where is this
