today after school some guy who has been running his mouth about his cutlass came into our parking lot and was mouthin my friend about his car (81 gran fury, 318) so they went out and raced and my friend got beat, so i lined up beside this big bad a$$ "350 rocket", held it about 4grand and droped the hammer, i immediatly took 5 car lengths off the line and when i crossed the 1/4 mile finish i still had 3 car lengths on him , whos to say v6's can't hang with v8's??

 

I beat 305's all the time.... even a few 350's... not my fault they want to race and they can't drive worth $hit...

 

Not to be cruel. But I feel any V-6 can beat a V-8 that is never tuned up. if some guy has a 350 he thinks he has power, but they often forget to replace the little things that Us V-6 guys seem to notice.

 

That is all so true! I have a friend who has a 1987 Trans-Am with a 305 TPI and it's totally like beaten, and runs for crap, and I've beaten him multiple times. It's gotta feel pretty crappy to go home knowing I pay less insurance, and get better gas mileage... :lala:

Haha, see, aren't tuneups great?

 

hehe, yeah the cars a pretty big joke with me and my friends it has 20 chrome wire wheels, a big windshield banner that says"ghetto glider" and dual exhaust thats really loud, i'm not sure if he has any under the hood mods or not, doesn't matter cause i stomped him

 

ME! :lala:

 

Has anyone see the May issue of SUPER CHEVY , look on page 36 , 2002 ZL1 camaro 400 HP /410 pds of torque and 4:10 rear gears . I bet that thing can eat a dodge viper for breakfast with some mods

 

does it bounce up and down ? (hydralics ) I love those cars , but I would never own one !

 

Monkie Great to hear form you again.
Oh by the way this is Kyle F using my brothers nick.
Anyways I never got to tell you how much you suck for driving a Ford. so YOU SUCK FOR DRIVIG A FORD!!!! LOL
So anyways Hi again and I guess I am going to have to make a trip down to Greenville to spank your DOHC V8 with a Puchrod V6. LOL, All in fun Buddy:hail: :lala:

 

no it doesn't have hydrolics no one around here has enough money do do anything like that, all the cars that are lowered just had their coil springs heated, color coded electrical tape is the cool thing around here

 

not honestly. i always wished i had a V8...so i jacked up my v6 with parts...and i still get better gas mileage....muhuhahaha....

im runnin pretty good 1/4 miles

mike

 

hey 92rsmuscle,

wat do u run in the 1/4

 

eh..my time has fluctuated from 16 seconds (stock) to somewhere between 15.5 and 14.5...it changes all the time depending on how much sleep i got the night before (reaction time) not bad for a v6...i have some kick *** accelleration tho

mike

 

Reaction time doens't do jack to change your ET's or your trap speeds. The clock starts when you trip the light and stops when you get to the end. Think of a better excuse next time.

 

shifting?

 

Half a second, maybe... but if you're loosing 2 seconds depending on your driving, there's really somethign wrong, or the track you race at hasn't got their equipment setup properly.

 

For you guys with an auto tranny, is it better to start off the line in Drive or OverDrive?

thanks

 

drive typically is good for 2 tenths in my formula... don't know how much difference it would make, if any, in a 2.8 or 3.1... Some people say its best to manually shift the auto, but personally I just choose a gear and roll with it. Manually shifting my auto cost me 3 tenths...

 

Your car doesn't run any where close to a 14.5

 

Actually, line pressure (fluid pressure) in the 700r4 doesn't change between D and OD. It's a common thought that by putting the stick in D, you get firmer shifts... but the line pressure stays the same. However, when the stick is in 1st or 2nd, line pressure is almost DOUBLE! (Double, as opposed to, when your trans is in 1st/2nd but your shifter is in D/OD.)

So in theory, if you don't want to manual shift, you could shift your trans like this:

At the tree, Shifter in 2nd.
When the trans completes the 1-2 shift, push the stick into D.

That would give you a firmer 1-2 shift, but the trans still decides when the 1-2 and 2-3 shiftpoints should be.

 

i recall saying it fluctuated between 15.5 and 14.5
i have had a 14.78...and that was with no traction

 

92RS Muscle what do u have done to yoru car? I'm sure all of us would love to know. Man a 14.5 in a 3.1 thats pushing it. some Iroc 350's dont even run that high.

 

yeah 92RS... whats ur mods...

i have a cam,chip,exhaust,porting,modified ram air, ....and a lot more...even after all this im not in 14's...

?????what do u have ???

 

He is full of ****. No way he is pulling off a 14.5 with a 3.1L or a 3.4L for that case. Hell new GT's are hard to push that.

 

yeah but just wait till I show my wankel off

none of you would be able to spank my wankle






:hail: wankel

 

Trying to make me jealous RX? its working. Damn what I would give for a 91 turbo RX7. Sigh...

 

i recently drove a 95 rx7 ...that was sweet...it had a blitz turbo kit...felt like i was driving a motorcycle..

rx7speed u really need to get ur car working

 

 

man fiream who are u calling bs???
always quote before u call bs...

 

You didn't know? On Thirdgen.org every post ends with a

 

:lala:

lol

I think i put enough bs's in there so no one else has to put them in anymore . I cant even put my grin face because I put so many
:-)~

Heh , scroll up guys and look and see how many times people used bs in there responces , heh

 

When my dinky V-6 runs 14's, i'll sh*t a brick... im floating mid 17's... a flat 17 on a near empty tank... but dont underestimate a V-6... them 3:42 gears sure give that extra boost to beat an untouched 305 or any mudstain out there...

I could be mistaken, but it is my belief that the 60* V6 Thirdgens can easily be modded to go faster (w/better fuel economy) than many of the stock 305 V8s around (LG4s & L03s)....not to mention our insurance rates are better, and V6 cars are typically in better condition than the V8s!

I don't know about a 14sec V6 though....sounds like a lot more time, effort, and money than it would be worth!

 

imagine 3:73s in there ! ..Or some 4:10s ...4:10s would could kill your top end though , but it sure would make for a much nicer take off !

 

I have a magazine with a worn out 86 Z28 305 , I think its Car Craft , well they ran it , and it ran 17.45 :sillylol:

I also have heard of a girl running 17.30 in an IROC 305 . But not all 305s are faster .

There use to be a guy near my house , he had a 92 RS 305 he had it modded , it ran mid 13s ... I saw him one day with 13.40 on the window , then later talked to him about it .
