i took second in auto x against ( my only mod supframe connectors and a loose front sway bar i even had soft v6 rear springs for drag racing) 2 new m3 bmw’s a new evo 8 w/ more hp than me and a wrx with minor suspension mods there were other cars but not worth mentioning and i lost to a race prepped e30 m3 what ever that it i still had alot better times than those people w/ supossidly great suspension cars. our cars are big but they handle alot better than you think ! Ibethegetshissouprathesametimeassmokeygetshisz06ie:neva btw im 2 n 0 vs soupras around state college and im not even that fast driver \> \* … just think if sam drove !!! there would be football fields between me n them lol ---

> [@93BlackTSi](#): > > driving in the city my friend gets about 10mpg in his black single…on the highway it does about 20-22mpg still but it also is running on an AEM basemap w/out any tuning and about 10.8 on the wideband so its quite rich. they are definately NOT slow either after you do BPU mods you will own most cars you will ever see on the street. 11.2@127 w/ 22psi, no tuning, and pump gas is a damn good time i think…wait til we come back at ya with it tuned, c16, and another 10psi. now tell me its a slow car I watched your buddy dumping 5 gallons of race gas in that car and he admitedly runs 24psi. Marks BPU supra is the most impressive I have seen. most don’t get out of 12’s BPU. shit most don’t get out of 12’s with a single…IRS owns the supra at the drag strip with high HP. also supra isn’t the only way to go fast and they sure as shit aren’t cheap ---

I’ll wait and see till this auction ends before I say anything about supras being cheap. Why don’t you go here and take a look: [http://www.steelcities-scca.org/solo2/2004results/060604/event2-2004-results.html](http://www.steelcities-scca.org/solo2/2004results/060604/event2-2004-results.html) Take a close look at the FStock results. Fstock is the nearly stock class (shocks but not springs and front sway bar may be changed, any DOT tire may be ran, and a cage may be added… but that’s it) for V8 Fbodies (Camaro Z28/SS, Trans Am, and Formula including WS6). Low 45s. The fastest Fstock car that day was faster than an Astock STi, barely behind a S2000 (not your typical 4 banger), and right with the WRX and Miata guys. Of course, that’s on a given track on a given day. We’re talking all of these cars within half a second. And this is **AutoX** not road racing. Get these cars on a road course and the Fbody would own big time. Then look at the ESP car’s time: mid 42s. ESP is where a mildly modded Fbody goes (springs, shocks, both sway bars, panhard rod and a few other things may be changed… but still no tubular control arms allowed front or back and such). Those are just results I found doing a quick search of SCCA AutoXs in your area. But I suggest you just actually go to a few SCCA AutoXs and see for yourself before making more ignorant statements. How many Fbodies have you actually owned, or even driven? -TJ ---
