youknowthis.
I’ll race you in the rain from a dig. I know my car is slow…but I know I will beat you.
I also know I will beat you from a dig on dry pavement too.
As for a roll. You should beat me… atleast I hope you do.
You will NOT beat a 12 sec mustang/transam ect. Those cars are made for ONE THING ONLY to go fast in a straight line. ( and do mad hairy burnouts)
Your car was NOT made fast to go in a straight line.
Can someone please lend this kid 10 grand to spend on his car…and if he doesn’t hit a 12.00 in the 1/4 we get to keep the car?
Face it. your car is a heavy front drive car.
The most horsepower you will get out of it is maybe 300whp and that will NOT get you into the 12’s
Lets just say… in a mathmatical sense
Your car came with 200hp stock.
200 X 15% drivetrain loss = 170whp
APR “claims” 250hp at the flywheel of their stage 1 reflash
(which is retarded becuase I KNOW they did not take out the engine to dyno it)
That gives you about 212.5 whp.
Lets say the “stage 2” reflash bumps you up to 230whp that is an honest 20 more HP to the flywheel ( I can’t see it giving you any more)
For comparison. My turbo delsol put down 220whp and ran a 13.7 when evil jay had it.
That car is about 1000# lighter than your car.
Figure every 100# ~ out to about a tenth off your 1/4 mile time.
your car…mathmaticaly should run a 14.5~
With all the magazine racing in this thread I figure I’d just add some more.
While people are running very high 13’s with a “stage2” reflash… I highly doubt you will touch a low 13 in your car.
