So how many of you run 13's or better in the 1/4mi? I often see some heavily modified VR4's, Z32's, 240sx's, mustangs, and DSM's around town, but have never had the opportunity of racing/talking with them.

Chris (2nd gen DSM w/ 16G turbo) and I ran into each other at Kroger today and did a 2nd/3rd gear pull on the way home. As expected we stayed even to the top of 3rd gear, where we shut down due to avoid a ticket.

Good run Chris...definitely a quick car. I'd like to see what would happen from a launch or from 20 to 100+.

"As expected we stayed even to the top of 3rd gear, where we shut down due to avoid a ticket. " You do know you can get a ticket for just accelerating quickly in a "contest of speed" with another car right I'll probably get bashed for this until i prove it, but I would run a 13.9 or so on a level track.

 

That is true, in GA at least, if you accelerate quickly at a light a cop can pull you over for reckless driving and lane dragging. I hate all of these stupid rules. GO CATCH REAL CRIMINALS DAMNIT! Sorry just had to get that out.

 

Yea, true. Luckily Ive never gotten a ticket, nor do I usually race where cops are likely to be. Me and Jeff raced on Patrick henry on the straight away, and shut down right before the next light, so it'd be unlikely that a cop would have seen us between those two lights, and we didnt launch off of the line, as we had to pass the BT bus and be way out of it's way before we gunned it.

Good race man, just like I said we were VERY neck and neck, starting at about a 30mph roll or so, and then getting them up to about 85. Nice car man, sounds sweet as can be.

 

Thanks...may look like a piece of shit, but I fool a lot of people that way.

And yeah, I agree. Accelerating rapidly is usually considered reckless driving.

RGuy - I think I'd get a 13.9 on a sea level track as well...seriously. I ran a 14.0 @ 101 at bristol with the 240sx a few months ago.

I love sleepers. Every hatchback i see i pause and wonder.

 

I might break into the 15's sometime this year.

 

im slow...definatly nowwhere NEAR 13's


:P

 

Does anyone know that white crx w/ the black racing stripes, and the tall wing? Does he have anything done to it? I haven't seen/heard him driving, just seen it at the emporium and around campus parked.

16g What color is your car? There are so many eclipses running around.

 

Hell, right now, I'm not even close to 14s.
