so your car is 1 sec quicker than your bro?s over the eighth?

 

[Zaphod]

yeah I miss the hell out my R6

I don't see me replacing it anytime soon either
I stopping dealing with muscle cars all together after learning how to ride
and honestly...I want luxury and superior cornering in my cars now too (not that the jeep corners worth a hell..lol)
I don't want to just go fast in a straight line anymore.

Most modern sportbikes are far more capable in the land of handling than their riders will ever be. May not corner as well as something with more than two wheels but there's nothing quite as explosive out of a corner as a motorcycle.

Nah, I'm sure you noticed he had some issues with the wheelstand. Then let out to get back straight. Do you race much, dude? That should have been the 1st thing you noticed. He's much faster than I was now.

Borrowed dads '12 Powerstroke so i could rent a trencher to put a sprinkler system around the new pool before the sod guys come in. Im worn out. I didn't stop hustling between 9 am and 4pm. Didn't even stop for lunch today. I appreciate those uphill landscapers now.

No its not about that KOS, i work off quarter mile time, his quarter mile time is once converted 8.85, my mates car weighs 3700 pounds an has a gassed 565 big block chev to run 8.80?s so yes i am enlightened by his time's

That sounds like a pretty bad ass ride your friend has.

Running in the 5's with a small block is pretty commonplace in the states, azza. Guys drive their cars to the track and lay down high 5's and drive home all the time. Supercharged or turbo LS motors(GM) do it all across the country. When I started racing getting into the 7's with your street car was fast. Now its fairly commonplace. Don't get me wrong, 5 sec cars are high dollar rides(especially street legal ones). I sprayed mine hard to see 5's and it didn't last long. That motor is good for a boat anchor now.

my friend won the 275 class at Willowbank ASPA 2 weeks ago, thats a drag radial class, good to see those times your car is doing. As they say pill it till you kill it.

Dude, the 275 class really took off here as well. ATM I'm running 325/50 M/T on the Chevelle. I'm amazed at how guys are making these radial tires hook.

I'd love to see some local Aussie drag vids.

 

[azza1971]

You tube Stu Henry capri, You tube HG498 or Scott Cortina, its a met grey sedan with Gold weld magnums, Stu?s Capri has gone in the sevens over the quarter at over 170MPH, my old wagon had 325/50/15 MT drag radials, we had tubbed the rear and relocated the chassis rails for the big feet, they are to big for most cars here thats why they have a drag radial class for any size radial and a 275 radial as the smaller tyres means no mini tubbing for most cars so leaf spring or factory suspension is still in. Stu Capri has a 420 cube single turbo windsor. My other mate has a twin turbo lexus V8 Capri running low eights through 275 radials, street geared and powerglide, punch in Joe Geri Capri, black with green stripe, he has a vid driving 30 minutes from the track home to Sydney, its a 240 cube motor. Very reliable, and driveable.

Here's my lineup:

 

[independent]

Here was my baby. Built it from the ground up. I sold it 2 years ago, I really want a cadillac cts v now.

 

[Big Pimpin]

I swapped dad his truck back yesterday so i had to ask my brother for some lift to get two pallets of retaining rock wall home this am. Needless to say i needed my tandem trailer but had to settle for my single. Notice the springs are collapsed.

It took me almost two hours to unload the trailer as my bro and father in law built the walls.

Its almost margarita time by the pool.

i feel sick

 

[Watson]

just another side of azza, he learnt all the bodybuilding lingo and how to bullshit his way through without ever having worked out

hes also on several car forums begging for anything people are offering........see a pattern here?
(the rego plate on his car comes back as unknown when u do a finance check) meaning its unregistered or a stolen plate...

 

[jay_steel]

car just went 198 mph in a 1/2 mile with a 30 mph head wind. The goal was to break 200mph... Next time were going to bring it back and refab some stuff on it to make it more wind resistant. Probably seal off the under carriage more. This is an 8 second car that was driven on the street because we did all the new fab work.

I'd agree 100%//its why I dropped muscle cars all together and beyond the jeep only drive cars that are meant to handle aggressively now

I wont say my bmw can corner like a mc but my old bmw (bone stock straight 6 2.5 5 spd) kept up with a (most likely also stock) corvette because while he'd pull ahead in the straights I'd catch him in the corners

dude looked really surprised..but so was I...lol


I used to work at a bike shop and would always wonder why dudes would get 1000cc and up bikes as their first bikes

thats all ego...a 600cc will work for a cpl of seasons and is easier to throw around
though i did like my ex hudsbands superhawk quite a bit that he let me tool around for a weekend. After we were divorced even..haha

 

[SheriV]

a juiced neon! lol..nice, fast little shits

friend of mine races em

 

[Big Pimpin]

Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?

 

[The Prototype]

Here was my baby. Built it from the ground up. I sold it 2 years ago, I really want a cadillac cts v now.

I love the CTS. Especially the ones with the center exhaust. I saw one today that was black with black wheels and it was very nice.

Blasphemy...shoot yourself.

 

[Aries1]

A friend of mine at work. Pump gas street car running 5.80's.

 

[azza1971]

Going to the drags today, not racing, big auto spectacular on about 1 hour away at Willowbank.

[Big Pimpin]

Im putting more work in this weekend around the pool with dads Powerstroke and a rental 'Dingo'. I used the Dingo to put 5 tons of stone over the pool fence yesterday.

I signed a contract with an uphill landscaper for 32 pallets of bermuda sod yesterday. Who says Im not pro illegal alien?

 

[Aries1]

Finishing up a new NOS system install on the Chevelle. Went away from the fogger system and went back to a cheater system(plate). When the Big block is finished I may go to a two stage system. Kinda juggling some ideas now. No clue where I'll end up.

 

[azza1971]

Is your system a progressive one one for during the run?

 

[squatdaddy]

The Don't Give a Fuck Truck

Not my daily driver but drive it a lot in the spring/summer.

 

[jay_steel]

what does your wagon run there AZZA,,

 

[azza1971]

Havent run it yet Jay, still deciding on a combo and what class i can fit in without putting a cage in, probably be a high 10 second car, but will keep it as close to flat elevens, over here a cage is mandatory for 10.90 and under, or its goodnight. To do the number i need and the weight my car is it would have to be over 550hp at the flex, but i want a drivable combo that can commute the 1 hour trip.

 

[jay_steel]

that car is going to need allot of work to run a 10.9 or low 11. My car ran a 10.5 on a stick and will run a high 9 with my new tranny and more boost and i dont run a cage... Just go run it get yelled at get your slip and call it a day. My stang is my street car so there is no way i am putting a cage in it. Just want to know what it runs. My next car will be my race car, still debating either a Subaru for rally racing and open track or a fox for drag. I am getting burnt out on drag racing though, might just sale every thing but the stang and buy a bass boat and more guns.
