Hi guys what's up? Just wanna let ya know some races I seen, Here goes.

First Race: 1989 Camaro IROC-Z, 350 TPI, not sure if he was stick or auto vs. 2000 Eclipse GS-T: They lined up and the let off, The Camaro had him off the start by a big shot and then the Eclipse caught up slowly and then I heard something on the Camaro and he must have floored it and he kicked the crap out of the Eclipse
Winner: Camaro

Second Race: My 92 XR5 vs. Corsica LTZ
Well my friend was curious as to which car is faster, His car is auto while mine is a 3.0 V6 DOHC 5 speed. We lined up, I held it to 3 grand and let off the clutch, ****TY LAUNCH! Tires spun a bit, He gained on me but once I hit second, I caught up to him real fast, By 80 I had him by 3-4 cars.
Winner: XR5

And the last one: 1982 Z28 Camaro vs. 2000 Ford Contour SVT
Camaro is crossfire fuel injected with auto while the SVT is 5 spd stick, I believe the SVT's were almost 200 hp stock.

They lined up, The took off, Camaro got a lead off the start but the Contour caught up and by the end he had the Camaro by about 2-3 cars, SVT Contour was pretty cool!

Anywayz, That's all for now.

Someone learned how to type..
Oh yeah, cool races...I guess

 

Oh man, let me tell you...these guys don't take to well to too many eyewitness accounts. I listed about 14 several years back on camaroz28.com...and let's just say, if it was physical instead of online, I would have been lynched.

Anyway, however you're getting to view all of these races, good for you. Damn, I wish I could. I don't even get many races anymore. The Crown is running like crap because of the fuel lines, pump, and filter. Also I believe the cats are clogged and the tranny needs adjusted. The Olds is on hold and the truck is miles off-also on hold. The only thing that's running descently is the Topaz. And it's idling erratically and overheating at idle. Simple but irritating problems all round.

 

Did you guys time this with the official stopwatch? Just wondering ...

 

IF it was REALLY a gs-t, that first race would suprise me.. However, 2000's (the new eclipse body style) are the v6 kind and are about the same if not a little slower than my car.. So 2-3 cars sounds about right and it could have been a bad driver.. That makes sense.. If it is a 99 GS-T, I think it would have been a little closer unless the GS-t couldn't launch very well.. A GSX would have been a much better race..

The other 2 don't suprise me..

 

He sort of learned to type, but I suspect he was beaten with a bad grammer stick as a child. I wonder how many races he SEEN that night . I hate that, next time tell me how many you SAW.

Ford 3.0 DOHC??? umm does that exist

 

yeah, there were no GS-Ts in 2000, but that sounds like it was fun dude.

Hey, wes2k3. I seen that mistake before you done seen it. But I weren't gonna say nothin. I ain't no good at grammar my own self. I knowed he's gon git in trouble typin like that.

 

it must exist, right on my motor it says 3.0 V6 DOHC, I seen alot more then three races but only felt like typing 3.

 

Hmmm he said it was a 2000, I don't really follow Eclipses so I fell for it

 

You can't tell a pushrod motor from a DOHC without stickers? I just seen you did it again .

 

It has two camshafts on the top, Wouldn't that make it a DOHC? It's not a sticker either

 

It has a sticker, it MUST be a DOHC

 

Damn, another conflict. Well, I seen it coming.

 

yup, it's in the taurus. i think they started putting them in the taurus and sable in 95 or 96. but my mom's 2001 sable has the dohc 3.0...

 

Well I ain't arguing either, It's not a sticker, It's metal like the rest of the motor, It says 3.0 V6 DOHC. I ain't arguing, If this is gonna be like this, I'll contact IROC and have the thread closed

 

You cant type or talk worth a **** dude. You talk like you are from the ******* south but you live in PA. Hmmm someone hit the stupid tree when they grew up. "I swar I didnt seen it comin!"

 

Now, see, that's being a bad Monkie. It's just typing, people.

 

Hey you all SEEN it. My bad. 3.0 DOHC sounds nice with a 5 speed but it has to be FWD. A T-bird super coupe would be better.

Winner: XR5
cant type cant talk cant race
what can u do
not trying to be mean like monkie
just having some fun so dont get all pissed off

 

Supercoupe, huh? Nice car. But here's a question: some doofus where my brother works thinks that his 95 4.6L T-bird has:
1)240 hp stock
2)320 hp now after a K&N and chip
3)20+ more hp when he gets dual exhaust.

Would I be correct in assuming that he can't see the forest for his a$$? I think that's how that saying goes.

 

almost off the charts

 

almost like how it is with camaro bois figures u know 170 stock hp mid 12s in the 1/4 i mean 1/8 stupid of me to say 1/4

 

Well thanks for replying, but let's just try to get along. As long as there's no conflict, let's not make any.

 

No way that guy got that much hp with those little mods, PPL BE NICE TODAY, Today's my Birthday! If ya don't believe me look where the birthday listings are

 

If you want to get technical..
Instead of talk, try 'speak.'
You too have been victimized by that same tree!

 

YAY!!! NOW YOUR 10!!! WOOHOO!!! CHUCKIE CHEESE IS THE BOMB!!!

 

Oh hey guess what??? Today is my birthday too!!! To prove it I changed it on my profile. Woohoo

Look at the picture of that engine..

You tell me if that is DOHC..

Well. What if I just tell you, it ISN'T.. In fact, that is the same 3.0 that my mom has in her 1994 ford taurus.. LOL...

 

thats the same engine i have to power my hot wheels car

 

You're one to talk, I did the same to you in that other post, where you proceeded to call me a "bitch" and say I wasn't talking to you.

Just...thought I'd point these things out.

Able Kane, I know what you mean about wanting to be able to see more races... I've just been to busy to. My grandfather and uncles are in a Corvette club called "Corvette Troy" (based out of Troy, OH). Man, I love watching them race. But now it's getting close to winter time. I think they only have one left...

 

LOL


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CRAZYHAWAIIAN!!!

 

ok, to be technical, Ford DOHC 3.0L engines went into Taurus', Sables' and Probes. The XR5 has the V6 "Vulcan" engine... Well my 95 Taurus SE had it and it was slow as hell. Same valve covers, intake manifold, and everything just like the pic on that link. As for Thunderbirds with the 4.6L, my friend has one. It has a rev-limiter at 100mph and i lost to it stock by a nose. His car he bought with like 30,000 miles on it and i had 173,000 and two bad cylinders when he took me. He is afraid of my car now because he's heard, "stories"

~Matt

 

That isn't my motor so OOPS you ****heads you tried again and only made an *** outta urself, That's what came in them stock and only 127 were made with the DOHC, Do some ****en research b4 calling me out.

 

OK you little **** ants enough. Grow-up and get a job, life, girlfriend, clue, grip, etc... Because this childish your a liar and are butt buddies with someone else, is so freakin' lame. I mean come on Camaro_1986_19 you said you were going to stop that crap about 2-3 weeks ago, Just let it go.

PS I don't give 3 ***** if anyone of you guys are 300 pounds and can bench press my car (even though you can't), you are all pathetic losers and need help. (Obviously this comment is not directed to everyone on this tread, those of you I'm talking to know who you are. :hail: Kane I commend you for trying to stop the conflict.)

 

You're just adding to it..btw.

 

No, I don't think I am. All you have to do is confront them and that will usually take care of it (worked previously). So thats why I made that post. I know both of Camaro_1986_19 and jocww have made some intelligent posts and I have posted there to support there statements. However when I see stupid stuff like this happening I have to jump in and do something to stop it.

Hey this was fun wasnt it?
