and a moped can also beat a nitrous TA, but everything else being equal an AWD car will lose to a FWD or RWD car from a roll was my point. you can defend your car to the bitter end, shit i would too, but fact of the matter is, if there was an exact duplicate of your car, only difference being it was FWD, it would beat you from a roll plain and simple.
I agree they are nice
but the N/A ones are like V6 mustangs... same looks as the higher performance version just without the performance
would be an awesome DD tho

speaking of stratus! Have you seen that stratus RT with the charger s.r.t.-8 engine in it??? That is one sick puppy!!!
My friend just purchased a 1995 mitsu 3000 GT w/ 136k miles Friday and came over to show it off on Saturday and tossed the keys to me Its pretty quick! Tires suck and I couldnt get traction worth shit but still wanted to go out and toy with some other rides anyway
Within the first 5 minutes of being on the road I ran into 1 lowered 2000-2004 civic with that dark electric blue color going the other way, Then I run up on a 5.7L GTO, tried to get him to play(I would have gotten dusted) but that was a no-go, and then 3 seconds after that ran into a buddy of mine that has a Black stage2 S.R.T.4 Well the second that I get up to the door of the S.R.T I start hearing this lowed clicking sound so we pull over before I can even say whats up to my friiend and pop the hood! Turned out to be the timing belt needed to be replaced and he picks it up today I WAS SOOOO PISSED!!!
he just bought the car and the timing belt went out the day he bought it thats
I respectfully disagree. A 400HP AWD DSM can beat a 400HP TA on a roll. Power is not everything. Gearing, weight of the cars, aerodynamics have a much bigger effect than that miniscule drivetrain loss which is overblown by most people. The additional HP lost to drive another axle is very minimal to make a big effect. I have seen a 500-550AWHP DSM lose only 10whp when dyno'd from a AWD dyno to a FWD one. 10whp on a 550whp car is not much. That's just an example I have seen.
I have run in the 1/4 but not had a perfect pass yet. Very frustrating. When I did 104 in the 1/8th I mis-shifted from 3rd-2nd at the 1/8th or thereabout and coasted down to a 12.5 @ 90mph. The car had gone 11.6@128mph with me trapping 93mph in the 1/8th on the pass before that so I don't really know what it would trap in the 1/4 on a perfectly driven pass with no shifting issues. Coulda-shoulda right? Stock tranny doesn't shift too well when banging gears. 130+ would be my guess but I hate bench racing. I will find out soon.
To stay on topic, the NA 3000GTs are very slow. The Stealth ES which is a little lighter can do about 15.2 in the 1/4 driven well. It's a 220BHP car. Really...that was not bad for a NA 3.0L V6 car in 1990 and 1991. They are not complex to work on. You just need to know someone who has worked with an interference type engine like the 6G72 or 4G63 LOL. Much easier to work on than say an MR2 or Nissan Z32 ( 90's 300ZX) haha.
diambo4life, where do you live man. How much power does your DSM make?

Since he traps 104 in the 1/8 im going to assume 500-550AWHP
Ya but that ain't saying much!! I wana race his car, I also would like to race your car!! Any car can be made fast man (and I respect fast cars) but you guys always seem to come in to defend the import world!! Why is that?

Probably because there are always 20+ people waiting in the ranks to slam the import world. The best defense is a good offense...or something like that.

I hear ya man!! It just agrivates me some times when people do that. Not just them but when anyone does that.. They really have a couple of nice cars but they always seem to try and bully people with them!! Thats why I want to race them. To show them that they will not always win!!

Its called breaking sterotypes and bullshit. I understand LS1 are crazy fast and no joke but when someone has a sig saying they trap 110 or so and stomp a car that traps 115+ I raise the bs flag then get gangbanged because I claim bs. I wouldn't mind a race with you, don't think I would win because I couldn't pass tech though, and my car has only ran a 10.60 although I know it has 10.40's in it. I'm pretty sure you car runs faster than that, but I have no idea.
We don't come in here to start anything but when we here a bs story we tend to call people out on it because I don't like to hear bs. I'm not a big fan of bs or story telling, if people really win than more power to them but making up kill stories is just plain stupid.

I totaly understand what you talking about man but I've seen some shit happen on the street that no one would believe without the video. Like a completely stock LS1 formula spank a GT500 Cobra. It was because the guy didn't know how to drive his car. A few days later he let someone else drive the car and put a hurting on the Formula.. Anything can happen on the streets and trust me if something sounds fishy the LS1 crowd will be all over it.. Take care man and I look forward to reading more of your post.. Nice Car BTW..

I just watched the video of you car and damn that thing can leave the line. I wish I could cut some nice 60's, then I could really see some low 10's.
When you put it like that I have to agree, there are some pretty shitty drivers out there. I just see some stuff and have to raise the bs flag here and there though when I see it.

That video was the all motor pass and I cut a 1.49 60ft.. My best 60 on the spray was 1.29 60ft but I broke the tires lose at the 300ft mark.. lol..

Even with AWD my best is 1.60 60' but I was cutting out and shifted early still managed a 10.69@127 though. I did run 10.65@130.8 with a 1.749 spinning till second so with a good 1.5-1.55 it should do 10.30-10.40 the way it sits. I just need a another fuel pump and up the boost (28psi now, 33-35 with another pump) with a good run to make single digits but we finally got a tech crew so I will get the boot if I try at the track. That and I'm not a fan of breaking parts so I just baby the car and run 11.5's with a decent 60' and short shifting.
Oh my track was 45* so it was very slick and there was no VHT on it, when you spin all 4 tires at 15lbs in each (DR's also) it is a little fun and scary at the same time. I need to borrow my friends slicks one day and see what it can really do though
coming! lol I need
