awwww someone is jealous
it’s not even paid off, so whats thier to be jealous of?
race mine shaggy its almost paid off 
haha nice death…
i’ll race a gtp
I could have paid the car off but I needed to show I can make a payment so I can get my credit up. All of my cars were bought off of pewterss dad and I paid for them all with the money I saved up and worked for. My GTP is the only car I ahd to get a loan for. Atleast I can say all my cars were in my name.
I thought this thread was supposed to be about shawn > chad… :dunno:
it’s NEVER about shawn > chad
oh noes moms name is on my title, you got me really good thier !
next trick, can fido sing the itsy bitsy spider.
get a new thread you tards
u have more mods then me 2 less cylinders and I ran a 13.78. I bet if u loose the mullet u might have a good chance.
you forgot to mentioned his all mighty Edge converter

my car on slicks will go 13.5’s…maybe better once i get my gears from the other rear end… i got 100mph traps which i do believe is higher than your GTP (98 right?). lol so from a roll, i’ll eventually creep on ya :booty: i think it would be a fun race, and decently close
and i only got header/exhaust for power…2 mods… the rest is suspension… oh and yes, my mighty edge converter… its what made my car what it is… well worth the 550 bucks
well I got a few more bolton to add to the GTP so Im sure it will be a good race lol. As for roll racing I dont do that gay shit. I can drive and I know how to set my stuff up so its either from a dead stop or nothing with me. Roll racing is for people who cant drive.
cool cant wait to see what it will do with somemore mods… its running great so far! what kinda tires you on? was that street tires on that 13.78 run?
dude you just said the dumbest thing ever, MPH doesnt determine shit really. all the credit you earned just now went down the drain when you brought up the difference in MPH. youre defferently more modded then he was, also roll racing is gay and youre car roll racing probably wont do much better

so he has less than 3 mods? cuz i only got headers/exhaust/stall
hahaha quik you crack me up…
first off alll, i know mph doesnt mean shit in a dig drag race…ET is a function of traction and gearing…
if you understood drag racing and how hp works, you’d realize that trap speed is a damn good indicator of the cars power output… more power to weight. the less weight per each hp you have, the higher you trap… depending on the gearing and such… but thats the general idea… its physics which from what sounds like you dont know anything about.
second of all, i just mentioned roll racing because i do take part in both. mph determines the out come in roll races as well as aero as speeds go up and then abit of gearing, but mainly mph…again, it goes back to the power to weight issue. since you think roll racing is gay, you wouldnt know that mph does that.
the only reason i do roll racing is that YOU CANT STOP ON A HIGHWAY when theres cars behind you. if i’m cruising and someone pulls up to me tryin to go, or if i see something i want to mess with, I’ll go from a roll… AS LONG as the road ahead is clear and no spots for cops which there are few places i will race on the street…
and yeah, my car isnt the greatest from rolls since its an auto with a converter, but at the right speed its not bad at all. it all depends on what speed. and stock TPI kills over at 4500rpms so i dont have much ability to race at rolls, but i try…
so yeah go ahead and throw my credit out the window…er down the drain… hahaha come on man thats just ridiculous
dont you claim to have suspension? if so hes a stock suspension FWD car. suspension is key to racing, also you had slicks big part there buddy
mph shows some but can be easily mislead. you can get a camaro with steep gearing and a stock motor and 12s all day long with a mph of 100. now are you saying the car doesnt have the power that you have? take a look at your imports they trap higher then domestics, do they have more power then domestics? usually not but mph is higher.
different setups get different results in racing. some cars are 1/8 champs and some are 1/8 mile dogs. some cars pull harder up top then down low. so toss your MPH out the window and then use 60’, 330,660 and 1000’ to determine how a car is setup and what not, using mph doesnt really determine much
personally i would rather run a faster time with a low mph then a slower time with a high mph
also mph can also be affected by lack of traction off the line, but does that indicate HP at all? no
you would also know that a AUTO has a different trap speed then a STICK does
so i dont understand MPH cause i think roll racing is gay,
answer me this how do you determine an outcome of a roll race? is it when you finally run out of area? or what. atleast with a real 1320 setup you have a fixed point ot race to in roll racing its over when the dude thinks its over. that is why its gay.
also in roll racing gearing plays a roll here. race 1320 with something that has 488s and runs 12s all day long. then roll race it, a car with less gearing will own the heavily geared car everytime. so again your mph is out the window
dont you claim to have suspension? if so hes a stock suspension FWD car. suspension is key to racing, also you had slicks big part there buddy
my suspension is more setup for handling with stiff springs, although i do have adjustable shocks…which do help a decent amount. but my 13.89 and 13.9 runs were NOT on slicks. regular 16inch street tires… 1.88 60’s
on slicks i think i could hit 13.5’s cuz another guys camaro like mine, same year with more bolt ons tho, trapped the same as me…100mph. he ran 13.47 at 100 with slicks. with a smaller stall… so i hope to be down there too

if that camaro weighed the same as my camaro and he was running say 13.0 all day long at 100mph, to my 13.8’s at 100mph on street tires, then yeah he has about the same power i have. his gearing and slicks tho make his ET better than me as he gets off the line a TON quicker. if he is lighter or heavier than me, then no the power levels are different, but power to weight is about the same… theres a difference
imports trap higher than their ET usually cuz of front wheel drive… they dont get off the line as well as rwd cars cuz no weight transfer. so they need alot of power to run good ET’s for the most part. they run better on the last half of the track since the launch isnt all that great. BUT, if they trap 100mph like i do, that doesnt mean they have my power… they are lighter so only need less hp than i do to run same mph. its power to weight
different setups get different results in racing. some cars are 1/8 champs and some are 1/8 mile dogs. some cars pull harder up top then down low. so toss your MPH out the window and then use 60’, 330,660 and 1000’ to determine how a car is setup and what not, using mph doesnt really determine much
at the dragstrip, i agree… you gotta look at times more than mph… all mph signals at the track is if your running as good an ET as you can. some guys hittin 13.5’s at 100, some are 13.5’s at 110. the 110mph cars have more ET left in them for sure…
you would also know that a AUTO has a different trap speed then a STICK does
so i dont understand MPH cause i think roll racing is gay,
true, autos suck more power than manuals… not debating that… but mph still governs roll races. but as you mentiond there are some exceptions to this
answer me this how do you determine an outcome of a roll race? is it when you finally run out of area? or what. atleast with a real 1320 setup you have a fixed point ot race to in roll racing its over when the dude thinks its over. that is why its gay.

roll race to me starts out even 3 honks at a certain mph and ends whenever someone lets off. sometimes you are losing so bad, you shut down early cuz its pointless to go on… sometimes your winning so bad u shut down early… and then sometimes its so close u jsut keep going… and only shut down when you run out of road, run out of gear, or just give up at a certain mph. usually a good setup roll race will be a certain mph range… like 40-100 or something. i personally dont like to go more than 90-100. i rarely go that high… mainly 70-80.
but your right… a drag car that runs best for the 1320 wont do dick in a roll race against a similar car with less gearing because the less geared car will have higher topspeed and thus beable to pass the 1320 car at some point. unless its a short race, the geared car would win. in this case mph doesnt really have as much significance
But say you have a 12.5second 110mph car thats geared for 1320 only… big 4.xx gears and such. race it against another similar car, one that is also setup for the 1320 only, with deep gears but say this guy traps 115. race those two cars from a 50mph roll speed or w/e and watch the higher trapping car go by by’s.
dont think i’m tryin to defend roll racing… just tryin to explain how mph means alot in roll racing… i do both whenever i can…but MUCH RATHER race from a dig! its more fun that way i agree!! that why i love the track so much
130mph @ 10.8 > 130mph@ 13.0
no matter how you say or try to express it roll racing is gay and means nothing. LOW et is where its at in 1320
and you didnt try to defend a higher trap cause of lack of traction.
you can run back to back runs one with a 110mph and one with a 113mph one is 12.4 other is 12.5. doesnt mean the car has more in it just means lack of traction off the line thus keeping rpms up
LOW et is where its at in 1320
hell yeah, i love the ET game… but my car isnt and never will be properly setup for best launches… too much roadrace autocross inspired…
but i want to try it with slicks and skinnies jsut to see how she does… see what i can wring out of it. and i want to be able to experience what a full stall launch with traction feels like! lol aint nothing like that feelin of coming of the line hard.
