@Zer0DazE

600whp at 24psi, but he says hes only running 15. the 600 was an exagertion like whoa. i bet the car had maybe 300 at the wheels

:word:

That kid was retarded

[jeeves744]

@Zer0DazE

lol

when he made that pass after taking the keys, i would have over rev’d it, tossed a rod, and handed the keys back to him.

he sold the car back to the kid for an undisclosed amount of money. But the guy did say it was enough to fix his tranny and add a few more mods to the car.

thats a pretty big slap in the face too i guess. i took your car on tv, and you paid me to get it back.

i bet someone used to take that kids lunch money too.

[zero_assault]

that was pretty annoying

@JnJSpdShop

Yeah the show was a good laugh, I don’t understand why he didn’t run slicks right from the start instead of asking for 20 lengths?

hrmmm, the RWD, automatic, stalled, transbrake, slicks and skinnies domestic…i’ll try to beat him on street tires!!

the technical advisor didn’t want him to for some “production” value or something

FYI…that TA runs 9s now after the new set up

according to the driver " It is soo scary I am afraid to keep my foot in it"

:tup: To Carolina AutoMasters and Jeff Creech for being awesome people and super hospitable when me and some other Speeders hung out for a day… Bojangles and 400whp tahoes for L

it ran 9.4 on the setup it had for the show, they “tuned it down” to run low 10s…

he says he can go 8s now

You can see a dyno sheet and some track times from right after the show here
http://www.carolinaautomasters.com/
their is a link on the left that says pinks and has a story and look in the high horsepower club for a dyno sheet. My car was seriously detuned for this show i was pulling lots of timing a very small air filter and i had my 2 step at 2300 i usually launch at 4200. I took the car down the track after I won it. That car was no joke the guy just couldn’t drive. I barked the tires in every gear that thing shifted well and I’m sure i ran a better time than him my first time in the car
My car has run 9.40s at 146 with a bad launch I have made a few more changes since the show and expect high 8s this year. The reason my car was missing was I was pulling a bunch of timing the first two races I had a switch in the car to put timing back in but second was gone and it wasn’t gonna help everything was going exactly how i planned untill I lost second then I needed the bottle because I have a very low first and 3 is 1to1 it just won’t go in third at that low rpm but it did with Juice to give you an idea how fast that was I had a tune in the car to run about 10.7 for the first two the last race was a low ten or high nine in the low 140s. The only reason i wasn’t freaking out is I had a great crew and my job was to srive i didn’t have to touch the car if i would have had to work on it I would have been a complete wreck. The final numbers on the civic 658whp a legit low ten high nine car with a driver the car weighed in at 2100#s

@Jeff 96 SS

Oh he didn’t buy it back for a hundred that is bs they have been spreading a bunch of lies the only reason i sold it back was his dad told him he would buy him a ZO6 and I didn’t want that idoit in a real car so I sold him back his toy

@Jeff 96 SS

What they didn’t show was the former owner collapsing to his knees when I took his car down the track and yes he was crying. They had to take the kid to the hospital that evening he basicly had a nervous breakdown. I did feel bad and sold him the car back two days later for less than it was worth but enough that he felt some pain. but not untill i ragged it on the dyno. I seriosly hope the kid doesn’t kill himself the ricer boys are dogging him bad on the boards.

OMG i would have loved if that showed the kid crying and being taken to the hospital :lol:

[2TurboZ]

I had heard about the 9.40 run the other nite from my cousin that built the engine in that car. Its a beast.

And truth me told the contract to sell the car back was done before the show even taped.

Do you know Jeff personally? I wouldn’t mind meeting him some day. Maybe the local F body fools can take a cruise down to carolina this summer

He posted up a large cruise/meet they were having on the 3rd week of may actually, if not Im sure they have a local board Id like to get in touch with before I drive down south in June

LT1 power:tup: The guy with the honda has 3 problems. The domestic guys dont like his civic, the dsm guys dont like his launching, and the honda guys dont like his representation of them. His dad did promise to buy him a Z06 now though, so I suppose it isnt all bad.

I don’t really have a problem with how they did the race until the last one…them accepting 3 cars was just stupid. A “fair” race would have been 5-7 cars w/ the bottle, and even then I think the Fbod would clearly have come out on top…A drivers race would have been 5 cars no bottle. The domestic guys def. had the right idea, set a fast car to run slower and be able to put the speed back into it if need be. I’m sure had his tranny been given time to cool in between runs he could have knocked off 10.5s, 10.0s and 9.7s consistantly depending on what version of the setup he wanted to run that time…and that’s how you win 3 out of 5 races.

That and the kid clearly couldn’t drive the car…

[MaximaSE98]

well they said they wanted to settel the import vs domestic shit…welll Heads up is teh only way…but a fair race your right joe…but MEH

how would 5-7 have been fair? The guy had no 2nd gear in a 3spd car. Thats like you trying to race 1st then shifting to 4th.

So the domestic could change his timing around, how is that any different then the civic raising his boost?

Crying, obviously they knew what kind of car they were coming to race and risk their car. That is the whole problem. Run what you brung and hope it is enough. Obviously in this case it wasn’t

Wow. That’s embarassing. lol
