ahhh gotcha man, fuck taking out safety equipment, I took out my rear seats simply because no one uses them, besides that my interiors 100%, heat is a must in wny!
If the Monsoon weighed more I would strip it, the Camaro system sounds weak compared to the TA set up, I never even listen to it
If you dont see that my car is able to run 11’s you are a fucking retard. Hmm 12.02 and trapping 118.5 with pathetic 1.9 60 foots, YUP! thats all shes got in it!.. with 7.9 1/8th mile times… when i can do 7.6x 1/8th miles and 1.7x 60 foots at lancaster.
Its a big ass V8 built by the hand of god with all kinds of shit done to it. I am not blown away lol but thats just me. Just like im sure many people dont get why people mess with 4 cyl i dont get how you can be impressed with that power given your displacement/cyl. Different strokes for different folks. :tup:
I dont mind seeing a fast car take off…
I will say this if memory serves and I could be wrong I remember that firehawk barely pulling Joe’s NA integra the first time i saw it with heads and cam… It takes time and money to go fast LS1 car or not. 110-120 cars are not fast. Yes LS1 cars especially these days are a great bang for the buck. So is buying a fox body or a light pre built hatch.
LS1 > all slow cars.
Im not reffering to the gay hondas/talons. Im responding to Smiths comment about 9C1ny’s car ony making 420 rwhp. I was saying that with my mods, which are not many, the car CAN run 11’s, which is a good return on investment. Its not gutted, it has leather t tops and a system. Its a car that you wouldnt be embarassed to cruise in, is fun to drive and is respectable at the track. Now lets slap on some juice as soon as big ed is done jerking off and see what it runs.
meh… i said that in a different line of arguement.
most of these setups are fairly easy to make fast. there is no secret to making a fbody fast, just like there is no secret to making a honda, mitsu, nissan, etc fast. there is no more prestige or “high-science” to building a honda, so the “making a big v8 faster is not as impressive” babble is a weak arguement. you are right in saying all it takes is money and knowledge (knowledge that blankets all platforms).
as far as the firehawk vs joestypes… i know the firehawk had a shit ass heads/cam setup and chuck was not quite the hot driver back in the day. whatever. same arguement with me and you. i was a noob, your car was built well, and you got me pretty good. now… well i think everyone could picture how that race would turn out
myself and most others in this thread are not saying LS1>>>>>>ALL unless just to work some people up. i don’t agree with that, other than it is a very good platform to work off of. when guys cry “ya ya you think LS1s are high and mighty,” its lame. you all say the same thing.
my goodness. this is insane. I agree with Smith. You like what you like for cryin out loud. I enjoy my 30th like no other and it moves out on the bottle, but i’d enjoy driving my brother’s Shelby Shadow just as much if not more. I guess I’m different because i like all kinds of things. As far as an LS1 with a cam and a 150 shot, like i said earlier give it a couple of weeks I’ll be back out with exactly that.
