Re: Underrated Autos
^ You're a fucking moron... I gave you a serious post on the first page of the thread before you stupidity became apparent. Plus... ever heard of checking people's profiles.

Re: Underrated Autos
Unfortunately I haven't put my Haltech on yet. Thus, all my times are with stock ECU. Also need a better turbo manifold. I know what it can do & will do once everything is installed as needed. But believe, a friend of mine dynoed his FWD Isuzu (with Impulse RS engine installed) & put down 410 horses. I believe he ran an 11.2 @ 124 mph in quarter. His car was a FWD car too.
I will get some pics of my car & stuff just so yall know I am not blowing smoke. Oh she exist...

Stages of Newbism on vadriven.com
1. Enthusiasm
2. Stupidity
3. Anger
4. I have a friend of a friend who has... (or "my other car will...")
5. E-Threats
6. Feigned Indifference
It's fucking science.
1. Enthusiasm
I am just curious as to how many people have decided to modify a vehicle that not everyone else owns &/or modifies. For example like me, I have a 91 Isuzu Impulse RS which is an AWD turbo beast! Lots of stuff about this car just isnt widely know. Like stock Lotus tuned suspension & the fact that Lotus built a car in the early 90s (Elan) that sported the exact same Isuzu engine my car has. Just like the Lotus Elise now has the Toyota Celica GTS engine with a few ECU upgrades. My Impulse is light weight with a 1.6L DOHC engine. More challenging I know, due to hard to find performance parts & basically fabricating everything, but it has been done. I have everything from a Standalone fuel management system to custom turbo & downpipe & much more. Anyways, anyone else out there got something a bit out of the norm...
TC.

I haven't googled or searched for anything. I am speaking from knowledge. I specifically now about the Ford 4.6L DOHC engines because I had one! Wanted to supercharge it one day but sold it. Thus, I know all about the Cobra! Also & for the last time, they were only 390 horse at the crank, PER THE FACTORY! If you have a dyn showing otherwise, just show it to me.
I 2nd what Asleeper said about the Typhoon & Cyclones. They were great! The Cyclone is even harder to find than the Typhoon!

They just keep coming. I have already admitted the fact I didn't know about the whole underrated horsepower. Ok. So what now, everything that I actually know no longer exist? WTF.
And yes I am praising my car. Anyone out there can do a simple basic formula. Minor weigh+AWD+turbo=performance. My car weighs 2600 lbs with AWD. Turbo can boost up to @ 25 psi with proper gas & tuning. Not the Impulse that Isuzu made. I know I have a car that isn't around. This is why I like it. I have nothing to lose when sitting waiting for the tree at the track to hit green. Most of the time though I am not the one that loses. My car is a sleeper, plain & simple as that. Case closed. Hate & bash all you want but those are the facts.

I still don't understand why I cant speak highly about my car on here. The only reason I keep on is because of the bullshit everyone else say about my car for no reason. It all started with Fabrik at the beginning. Once I spoke it from there it just took off.
Oh yeah since someone mentioned respect, for no reason people have been disrespectful to me because of a dam car. So basically, I could care less about the repect around here. I am just keeping it real. Everyone is tuff & has a big mouth over the internet, but I can guarantee a different tune would be sung in person. GURANTEED!

Yall got me spending too much time on here while I am at work. Its been interest....
I will post some pics soon, more than likely for yall to bash. I obviously don't care. Next time I will talk about my C-10 Chevy which is heavily built. I guess that one may be more welcome. Even though when I started this thread I had no intention of all this happening. Oh yeah, my bad if I type a few typos. Never said I was perfect. Until next time...
