svt in the eight mile - CEG Archives

is the LSD THAT much of a help in an 8th? I didn't figure on THAT much of an increase.

Knowledge is power, I guess.

Help. Not really.
The best it does is let you drive through wheel hop without soiling your drawers. The car is the quickest right on the verge of wheel hop. Sometimes even with a little hop.

Insurance. HELL YEAH!

I have to agree with the insurance 110%!!! wheel hop doesn't scare me as much no knowing it will "only" break an axle!

These cars don't exactly have a great low end, so every tenth you can cut off of your 60' time is gonna be a blessing.

I would guesstimate high 10's (10.6-10.99) is you don't bog the launch, etc.

I could be wrong, the quaife could help you alot more than I am estimating, though.

Definitely not high 10s. My contour ran 11 flat, so I know a svt will do a lot better.

As was stated earlier, I could be wrong, and quickly learned that I was.

hehe

9.5 is my best at 74mph w/o a lsd. but I have some mods.

Me & my bro went to the track yesterday & I thought I sucked until I read this thread. My brother handed me my a$$ but my best time was like a 9.3 to which he had a 9.1. It sucks to lose to your little brother by the way, but I chalked it up to inexperience since it was the first time I'd had mine on the track. Sat he took his to A track in Steele AL. So Sunday we go to Camp Hill AL And he whoops me then trere was a crash and I left. This track was ungodly short(after the 1/8th) and thier tree eas from the stone age, my reaction times blew!

All in all I have vowed that it is officially on!

I will never lose to baby bro again!

How did you manage a 9.5???

What was your 60' time?

What rims & tires?

What kind of power are you making?

If you can't tell I don't believe you.
You're not the one that claims to have run 14's with a 2.5 60' time are you? If you are then skip the questions because it won't make a difference to me anyway.

why is it so hard for you to believe that someone ran a 9.5(unless this is the same ole guy that has made up stuff before!). i ran a 9.5. granted it was in my coug...i don't have any SVT stuff, and it was on stock rims and tires.

read Greg's last statement, the same guy claimed to run a mid/14 with a 2.5 60ft.....

yah i know...that's why i said "if this guy is not the same ole guy"

hes not the same guy
hes a newbie

and steele dragway isnt a full eighth its a 1000 foot strip
but its a popular strip around here
and its got alot of rubber laid down already
weve got hondas runnin in the eights down there

but obies probably tellin the truth

1/8th is 1/2 of 1/4 mile. So if a 1/4 mile is 1320, 1/2 of that is 660ft. So, 1000ft is more than an 1/8th, thus his times would have been higher...

I know; this sh~t gets deeper and deeper.

Now I remember why I usually skip this forum. It's so full of BS posted by people that don't know how easy it is to spot their BS.

9.1, 9.3, 9.5 in the 1/8th is BS enough but 9.1 & 9.3 to 1000' BWAHAHAHAHA...

I ran a 8.9 last time out but that was on a whole heap of LSD.

alright well i am not speaking for anyone else but me...actually i just won't make anymore comments on this subject. i won't post anymore of my times i will just say "i went to the track and did good." it doesn't seem to matter if you post timeslips or not anymore so i won't.

i would just like to say i think a 9.1 is POSSIBLE in the 1/8th. will EVERY bolt-on mod, and some radials.

Well if you can run a 15 in the quarter mile, and an eigth mile is half as long, people should be able to run 7.5 in the eight, right

It is possible.
rule of thumb as you may know or at least from what I've heard is take your 1/8th mile time times 1.5 and that should be close to your 1/4 time.

Forgive my crappy picture taking but I've been up over 24hours

Digital Slacker thanks but I figured out how to do some basics on imageshack last night at work.

Demon I have alot of respect for you and have never met you, how about never calling me a liar again, not everyone on the internet is going to tell lies in hopes of impressing you or the other "old heads" on this site, if thats what you think. I know that we have had alot of BS & such going on on the site recently but I have no reason to lie about what I did( I lost to my baby brother

). Maybe this track( Camp Hill AL) is a little short, Maybe their equipment is off or just plain sucks. I don't know anything for sure, but what this slip says is that I had a 9.3 ET In an 1/8th. Thats why I said it and the only reason why.

O.B.

the old rule of thumb would put that at 13.95 1/4 mile

9.1 is a very low 14 second run.

9.5 is a mid to high 14 second run.

Without cut & dry proof it's all 100% bullsh~t. Plain & simple. The launch & 1-2 shift are by far the hardest parts about driving these cars and that's once you have the power to weight to begin with.

My old 2.5L with a 2.1x 60' ran 9.5x. (over 100lbs weight reduction as well)
The only other documented car was an SVT with all the bolt ons, LSD, and DRs that hit a 2.0 60' time and ran a 9.4-9.5 1/8th

My 3L with a 2.3x 60' runs 9-9.1 consistently. (It takes a great launch and perfect 1-2 to hit 8's)

To quote times near 9.5 or below will always be accompanied by countless people calling for proof. There's a reason.

Then when someone says, as in this post, the track is 1000' and they are claiming those times. BWAHAHAHAHA. That's like an 11 second contour. Not only that but a near stock 11 second contour.

Like I said earlier I normally skip this forum because over half the posts are 100% Grade A bullsh~t.

It looks like the tracks equipment is messed up...
Not only are the times low, but neither of you reached 60 mph in the 9 sec run

something is wrong there. 9.5 @ ~59mph??? WTF, over?

Your track is bullsh~t.

9.1 at 58-59mph

Absolute bullsh~t

To run 9.1 you are looking at 80+mph easily.

59mph is more like 11-12 seconds.

Then to top is off a 2.5x 60' time. You must be making a good 300 at the wheels with torque to match to go from a 2.5 to a 9.1 That track is completely FUBAR'd.

The wife's cavalier does the 1/8th mile in 9.92 @ 70.7mph and 0-60mph is it's quickest acceleration point. (only 15.7 @ 88) Unlike our car that is faster on the top half of the track comparatively.

So you may be telling the truth about the timeslips but the timeslip are pure garbage. Those times are just not possible. PERIOD.

I would not take a slip from that track as a legitimate time. Hell I bet my car would run 7's there easily.

Greg do you need a cup of coffee?

seriously are you having without joe rogan?(sp?)

lol.

Has anyone taken in to account that KS is 745 feet above sea level and the times should be higher. we do not run those times at sea level here in florida.

There's no SVT in any Eminem stuff. There is a Contour:

http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=interests&Number=226552

"Tired of [censored] the same blonde whore after work in the back of a Contour "

It's not from 8 mile; it's from "If I Had..."

But close, good try.

heres my slip from last night in Ohio at Norwalk Raceway. I gained 3 tenths and 2 mph from my SCT 2 tuned by Wayne. I leaned out the tune only .2 with out a wide band I didnt want to go too lean but Wayne says it should be about 12.5/1 so I leaned it out to 12.7/1. Here is my slip this is on nitto neo gen tires no lsd. Demon I dont know why you keep bringing up that I previously said 14's with a 2.5 60 when Ive already said it was a typo. I launch my car at 5000 rpm and bang the shat out of the gears on a good track. Demon if you dont believe that people can do this with these mods maybe its time to go back to school.

Go to my cardomain site for mods.

What I want to know is who you were racing against... 10.6xx at 122mph !

I have never taken my SVT to our Denton, Tx track, although I am curious to see how bad my time would be.

However, I took my 1997 Integra GS-R our there. These were the models second to the Integra Type-R (GS-R 170hp Type R 195..or was it 190?)

Anyways, my BEST time was 10.6...dont remember at what MPH, but if a 4 banger can do 10.6 I dont see why Tours couldnt do 9.6+.....and my very first launch was a joke...lol wheel hop, redlighted, then I crossed at 42 mph since no point in racing.
