The last post for this "Spring Zing questions" did get a bit out of hand and it was in the wrong forum, so lets do that right here in "dyno and drag". I was speaking with Hector about this last night and told him I found that other post to be one of the most humerous ones to date here As long as theres NO name calling or street racing stories, this post can pic up where that one left off, or locked as the case may be, no hard feelings Jim It seems theres 3 camps for the "shootout" at SZ...

-The EVO camp

-The turbo'd 3.0L CSVT camp

-The WRX camp

Going into this we do have a couple facts, like Dereks car runnin' a 13.7 @99 mph modded out with more on the way. We also know that EVO's run mid 13's stock and driven accordingly. Its also true theres several Tours runnin' into the 13's at high mph. This all combines for the best bench racing and even better actual race at SZ (at the dragstrip, ofcoarse!) The variables for these cars vary considerably...

-3.0L turbo vs. 2.0L turbo vs. 2.5L turbo (STi if one shows up)

-the weight seems pretty close for all cars, give or take a couple

-gearing, inparticular the final drives (3.71/4.06 vs. 4.52)

-transmission gearing- I don't know what it is in the EVO's but I know this, their very short to keep the engine on boil, something the gearing in the Contour does NOT do.


Now in closing I don't know where all the venom is coming from and no, I'm not talking about the NOS system either but rather towards the EVO guys (Kevin and Hector) These are two, long standing members here in the CEG and should be treated with some type of respect IMO. To some degree its gotta have something to do with be jealous, period. I wouldn't call myself jealous of their cars, rather envious, especially when I could've bought one of those damn things a week before I leased my Crossfire , but thats another story! Kevin said it best, the EVO GUYS DIDN'T START IT, so check yourself Now with further to do, let the bench racing begin, I'll start...

I'm going to take out an ATX/Zetec with my Crossfire, wish me luck

Nobody is mad at Hector or Kevin. Why blow it out of proportion? As for big contenders, I do hope to see Stazi hit the track. I've tried talking Jim into it several times, but it may take some more pushing from CEG.

Venom = nitrous kit
NOS = nitrous kit
Venom does not = NOS kit

I now have 3 people interested in the Venom nitrous kit, so I am pretty certain that I won't have it at the time of Spring Zing. If that's the case, I'll just shoot for some nice N/A 1/4 miles, and be happy with that.

As for the smack talking, that's what car people do. You just rarely see it here on CEG, because someone will have a hissy-fit if you talk about racing, and "Contours aren't drag cars."

Go over to svtperformance.com, they have a smackdown forum. Personally, I just want to see a bunch of people go to the track this year, so I'm stirring the pot a little bit.

Which I've never understood. All that $$$ and it doesn't go to the track?

Fixed...





Actually, there's a small chance that my car will be ready to show an EVO whatsup at the dragstrip. Depends on a few things between now and May 20th.

Mark

Let me do the math:

Fastest Contour is 13.4? Stock Evo's with grandma launch run 13.9.....my car isn't stock and I can launch my car......


Yeah, because hector wasn't the first one to bring up this!

My beef is simply this...Hector hasn't been to the track with his EVO yet he assumes because of said mods it automatically equals 12's. I've been to the track with my buddy's MR and he ran 13.8s all night long. That also being said how many turbo/blown contours are there as opposed to EVO's? For the past two years at SZ the drag has never happened. So certain people have no seen what their cars can do. I went to the track 2 years ago and couldn't pull better than a 2.4 60'...was I affraid of breaking something yes...was it my first time at the track...yes. Have I gone since...nope. Look at it this way...3-4 contours have run mid to low 13's. There are 5-7 turbo/blown contours PERIOD. You guys have a much larger pool of vehicles to project your potential 1/4 mile. What you all seem to be missing is that when I stated the trap speed argument my point was that with practice (that I certaintly won't get) I can get my 1/4 mile time down. I go to the drag strip very rarely and if I'm trapping 96 mph with another 2.4 60'...give me a flippin break. This is racing and racing takes practice...whatever you THINK you are gonna run...throw some more time onto it.
If Harold comes, its over for everybody.
Hell, I'd be happy to get the chance to run mine down the strip at SZ.

Then STFU and let someone who has been to the track in that vehicle type numerous times drive it. Otherwise, you are just ing about getting beat because you suck.
Hey [censored]...how many things have you done once and immediatly been good at!?

How many skilled contour drivers are there...and by that I mean guys that frequent the track enough to get their 60' down to 2.0 etc...maybe 2 or 3 guys...
Posted By: Klasse Act Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 01/19/06 04:42 PM
Its very unusual for a car to run a 14.7 @81 mph, how in the hell did that happen and again, not doubting it, but rather, just trying to understand it


Secondly, Pete, Hector said he wanted to know who wants to race and then, Alex, fixed it and said "who wants to lose", so like we said, they didn't start it As far as the Venom comment, well, that was a joke on my part, get it, "venom"


Now onto the important stuff, who's ATX/Zetec ass am I going to kick first with the Crossfire

The above is what I considered started it...
Anyone can go out and buy an EVO. There is a handful of guys that can build a 13 second contour. I was offended at the push over factor that was brought forth in the above post.
Posted By: Steeda. Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 01/19/06 04:52 PM
Honestly im not sure how it happened, It was at lapeer. Possibly a timing problem or something but if im not mistaken it happened twice that day trapped low 80mph.

Y do you wanna race a atx/zetec i though your Crossfire was Crazy fast?

It ain't hard to get a 2.3 60. I haven't been to the track in almost two years in my conturd, but I beat you I could still pull the same consistent 60fts.

There are many things I've only done once and been good at. I'm sorry that you just suck!

Hey Pete, check this out My first time down the dragstrip ever was in a 93' Dakota (318, auto w/3.55 "open diff") and I cut a .027 light (.000 being perfect on this particular tree), so sometimes you do get it right right away My best ever was a .005, but I did cut a -.001 once, but that was obviously a redlight FWIW, that Dakota ran a 16.0 @85 mph and then we swapped out the stock computer, replaced it with a Mopar performance unit and right after ran a 15.7 @88 mph! The truck had stock everything, with the exection of a Flowmaster muffler, so it ran pretty well IMO.

Been to the track twice in my life and pulled 2.1 and 2.2 60' times in my SE on a stock dif no less . Seemed like no matter how hard i tried i couldn't break it....

Thata boy!!! Ladies and gentlemen, this is a prime example of a car enthusiast! He goes out EXPECTING to break something! All you people going out with your tail between your legs, are the ones who end up towing your cars home. If ya can't afford the repairs, you either can't afford the hobby, or you should take up purse collecting.

Shoot, I tow mine TO the track expecting to break something!

Lets see i went through 4 diffs in my First SVT between Drag racing and Auto X'in... Def not scared but i would rather spend my money on other items

If I can make it, I'll be sure to run.

Uhhhh, you should have spent money on an LSD after your FIRST diff went out.

The thing is, if you build a car to handle abuse, why not go ballz to the wall sometimes? If I have a lot of money into my car(which I do), I'm going to drive it like I stole it.

It was covered under extended warranty and they wouldn't allow me to spend the extra money to get the lsd. Soo i just broke it every 12k instead. Sucked to be them

Hahaa! Nice! I would have done the same thing. Oh wait, I did! Had them do 2 tranny rebuilds for me while under warranty.

I couldn't agree with you more I also understand Marks point about "building it to run", but if you haven't done so, why do it and be w/o your ride for some time I don't want to piss of Steeda here and bring up my old car but I only do it to disprove my "rep" When I bought my GN 10 years ago it had 87K on the clock and then modded the car out over the next 5 seasons. I made FIFTY passes on the car at Ubly, runnin' anywhere from 13.4@101 mph when I did the first "basic mods" to a 12.6@109 mph when I had the turbo/ 40 lb injectors/front-mounted intercooler/3" downpipe and exhaust done. I also cut a 1.91 60 ft time w/ that 12.6@ 109 mph, but by then, the car had 120K on the original engine/trans and the valve springs needed to be replaced twice by then, not to mention the TE-60 turbo needed a 3000 stall to make it work "properly", so I was stuck with my mid 12 second car. I bring all this up because I knew the car could handle all of this and just "went for it" The CSVT on the hand, well, its not built for that abuse stock and didn't care too much about draggin' a car that would go no better than high 14's with a couple mods and IMO, cost WAY too much money to get it into the 13's, not worth it IMO. Those of you who did so, especially on one that your bought new, well, it must be nice to have money, thats all I'm sayin' and I spent my fair share of money on the Caprice I raced as well as the GN and those days are long behind me The moral of the story is this, if your going to drag, get something that can truely handle it and if its something you really care about, i.e. more emphasis on cruizin' and handling, DON'T DO IT
Posted By: Steeda. Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 01/19/06 09:52 PM

the world would be an awfully boring place if people only raced cars that were "ideally suited" for drag racing. actually, if people followed that acumen, your precious GN (i.e. a six cyl turbo family car) would never have existed, right? or if it did, it would have done so with a big block instead? and what fun is that?

to each his own. if everybody liked the same thing, we'd all be banging steedas mom instead of just most of us.
Posted By: Y2KSVT Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 01/19/06 10:08 PM
I somewhat agree with you Roger, but all I'm saying is, why go through the hassle of doing a fully built motor, a $5500(now $6000) turbo kit, beefing up your transmission and axles to handle the power, and then just take it out once a week and baby it? If I wanted a $30+k cruiser, I'd buy a Mercedes. And just because I take my Contour to the dragstrip from time to time, doesn't mean that I consider it a drag queen. It's a comfortable car to drive everyday if I want to, looks good, low maintenance, and just feels good to drive. I can't stand auto-x, and there aren't really any open road courses in my area. When I need my crazy HP and 1/4 mile fix, I'll buy an 03/04 Cobra.

It all equals out:

Stock SVT Contour 15 sec.....you build it up to a 13 sec
Stock EVO 13 sec....you build it up to a 11 sec.

I just started with something faster.

If I can do it like my Contour (19-16 sec)...I will run 10s sometime in the future.

Okay.. When-TF is spring zing and is it going to be on a weekend? This post already has me fired up! I can't tell you how many Evo's I saw with boost controllers only pushing high 13's!!! I can't tell you how many people on here think they can drive so friggin good..... I may not drive all that good but I know how to make power and I have the know-how to put it to the ground if I spend the money!

Oh yeah, I hope to hell Hector shows up in the low 13's or 12s so we can all feel good about getting beat. However, if not....he'll never live it down.

AS for me... I'm fired up enough to try and plan a road trip to Spring Zing just to put some "shut up" on as many people as possible.

If it is on a weekend, then I might be able to go. If it is over a holiday weekend then I'm even better.
I have wider tires and I just might come with a suprise or two....

Oh yeah, I hope to hell Hector shows up in the low 13's or 12s so we can all feel good about getting beat. However, if not....he'll never live it down.

AS for me... I'm fired up enough to try and plan a road trip to Spring Zing just to put some "shut up" on as many people as possible.

If it is on a weekend, then I might be able to go. If it is over a holiday weekend then I'm even better.
I have wider tires and I just might come with a suprise or two....






WTF does your post have to do with the post of mine you quoted????

Are you saying your gonna put some "Shut UP" on me?

Hey Tom, do a search to find out when Spring Zing is. Actually, just go down to the Spring Zing forum and check out the details. May 18-21(Thurs-Sun). Round up some southerners, and make your way up for a good time.

The GN is NOT a mullett ride, sorry, thats the Monte Carlo SS or "Gutlass" The year of the car says mullett, but the engine doesn't


Dave, you said something about the car having a BB, well, it does, kinda, check this out. I used to tell people this, the engine was 3.8L and the little "hairdryer" to the left was another 3.8L , thus equaling the power of a BB. IMO, 355 ft/lbs of torque @2000 rpm STOCK is muscle car territory


I was kinda hoping the post wouldn't take the turn it has, but it was inevitable I guess Pete, I don't think anyone is ragging your ride, you've got your 3.0L up and running so whats the problem my man All I ever said is I didn't believe you took out one of my cars with your old set up, thats all but as far as everyone else, well, I can only speak for myself here The hype machine is rollin and it will sell more tickets for SZ06'
From a roll is very different from a dig...but a race is a race is a race. Have I raced a Crossfire from a dig...no...from a roll yes.

Don't try to flatter me to get me to let my guard down

My goal of hitting 12's with the stock turbo isnt helping.. be so much easier to just slap a bigger turbo on... but where's the fun in that.

Posted By: Barge Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 01/21/06 04:27 PM
An upgrade would be to a similar size turbo as the EVO comes with (the reason "stock" cars can run so fast).

TD05-16g would be my likely upgrade turbo.

Jason, I know your a part of "Team Barge", but do you really think Hectors ride isn't going to hit 13's come on now. The comment about "people only runnin' 13's" is silly because in bracket racing its all about consistency, as you all know Personally, I'm going to need to hit Ubly before I run down there as I've never driven a stick car down the track
Posted By: Klasse Act Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 01/22/06 05:02 AM
I thought I'd share an experience with you guys I had today, inparticular, driving a turbo'd 2.5L CSVT! JD came over today to check out some of the Barrett-Jackson auction (Cabo Wabo ) and I heard a blowoff valve go off, so I knew he was here. I asked right away if the "miss" was out of it that was present when they first got it and and he said yes, so I told him I need to drive it! So I'm going down the road in 2nd gear and just nail it and all of a sudden the thing is wheel hopin', BADLY I asked him, "is that wheelhop" and he said YEAH! I couldn't believe it because the wheel pulled like it needed an alignment Even nailing it in 3rd gear you could feel the wheel workin' against you a bit and a slight variation of this in 4th The showdown at SZ is going to be VERY interesting, but I haven't driven the EVO, yet
Posted By: Loco4G63 Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 01/22/06 06:24 AM
Timeslips don't prove anything. Yeah your car ran that time....but if you can duplicate it again when racing the next opponent is what matters. Just in case you didn't understand: If I have a timeslip that says I ran 13.5 and I run a car that has run 13.7, we race and I lose running only a 13.9 to this guys 13.7 I lost, bottom line. In the end times don't mean ****.



As far as racing....I really don't care if I win or lose. In my Contour I lost EVERY race at the track (except a stock Zetec). No sweat off my back. In the end I got to race and that is all that matters to me.

BTW all of you trying to compare your Contours to an Evo....apples and oranges. There are big differences between a $20k new CSVT vs. a $30k new Evo. Honestly even if you put $10k into your Tour....still apples and oranges.

In the end it will be:

CSVT- Touring sports car
Evo- Race car

If you don't believe or can see what I am saying...look at the hardware on the Evo compared to the CSVT.

I can't speak for everyone here as I haven't met everyone inperson, but I know this, Hector is about as laid back as they come (I wish I could be more like that ) and will not start anything with anyone. Theres a couple other here though, I wouldn't worry about either. Its not so much that they're "E-thugs", but its alot easier to spit venom here than inperson. The only way this will get completely blown out of proportion is someone says something personal and to quote Clint Eastwood from "Line of Fire"..."thats not going to happen".



With all that being said, I wanna have something like "Pinks" and I'm the host I've got the guys same haircut and personality We need to pick something to race for, other than money, but something they really don't wanna lose, any 's?

No, you are right about the hardware. Even if I match the engine and suspension mods, the AWD and cool differential setups of the EVO are still far advanced. It would take putting in the Jag AWD system or Mondeo AWD system with some tweaking to make the contour into something that could beat the evo in all areas.

But, as far as straight times, I ran 13.9s very consistently with it all the time on the old stock width, street tires all the time. It was harder to drop down in the 13.8s on those same tires due to traction problems and therefore the consistency wasn't there.
So I agree with you on one had that ONE timeslip doesn't mean you'll win, but on the other hand I think if it is pretty consistent then it is a perfect indicator of who will win.

Which by the way, will be ME if I go.
lol

Jason, you really don't believe his car is going to run 14-teen something do you I know you gotta go out there and do it, but come on now As far as calling his Zetec a POS, too bad you didn't drive in it or you might think differently, but then again, you don't give ANY Zetec any credit Hector isn't acting "high and mighty" about his car, but then again, when you have the King of all SCC's, you don't need to act, you are!
Posted By: Barge Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 01/23/06 12:23 AM
King of all SCC's is a pretty strong comment... if everyone thought that way you wouldn't see nearly as many WRX's and STI's around.

High and mighty? You are posting in a thread you aren't going to take place in. Like I posted before you are all talk; just a cheerleader.

POS Zetec? My POS Zetec's blower setup cost more than your badass $2500 SVT. I've done more with the Contour than you have even thought of.... Once you have put in the time and money that I have into a Tour....we can talk.

As far as the Evo being the king of SCCs......I have to agree. The Evolution has a following like no other SCC and performance to boot. EvoM.net alone has over 30k members all over the world. The only reason there are more WRXs and STis on the road is because they were released 2 years before the Evo and they are cheaper (especially the first years).

SZ06 will be interesting.

Ya your cool Sc'd zetec was amazing...

and just so you know I have owned 2 SVT's one of them costing 17k since it seems to play an important factor in this. Time? Your joking i hope, WTF did you do? You need to open your eyes. Im not some [censored] newb. So the cost of my car doesn't exactly play a factor. I guess becuase i got a good deal its a problem?
As stated before i could go get a loan if i wanted to. I would be buying a Lightning, im pretty sure a evo is faster than one of them also correct?

You've done more? WHy cuase your obviously highly intelligent to sink money into a Zetec/auto right? Sure!!!!!

Dream on! and the STI would be the king of the SCC's but becuase your hero roger said the evo is then its cool!


and maybe i will run at SZ but i don't see a point it in since i don't get anything out of drag racing.

You can start preparing your list of excuses now why you lost to barge in his WRX though..

Your post here proves your intelligence.

I modded my Zetec auto to because I wanted to. I didn't mod it for anybody but myself. People like you would/could never understand that.

The whole Evo vs STi is lame. You like what you like....BUT, if your boy Barge had an Evo you'd be cheering for Mitsu.

Just wanna "air out some facts here"...

Hectors ATX/Zetec ran in the 18's stock, then, he did alot of work to it, including a Jackson Racing S/C'er and by the time he was done with it, he cut THREE seconds off of his 1/4 mile times, has anyone done that with a CSVT, the obvious better starting platform than the Zetec IMO going from an 18 second car to a 15 second car is pretty good and those are just facts you can't deny Jason. I haven't seen any CSVT's runnin' mid to high 12's yet, maybe it will happen at SZ06', who knows I haven't noticed Hector acting high and mighty at all and he never fired the first salvo about this either, check out the locked thread and you'll see. I think when you look at what Hector has brought to the table when doing his old ride, its paved the way for alot of other guys, who may be younger and not have alot of money, who also may happen to have "just a Zetec" to get SVT perf out of it for a couple thousand dollars invested. Think about what you can get a Zetec Tour for these days and the kind of people you'll get them from, sounds like a pretty good idea to me!



BTW Jason, I'm not a hero and I'm not a role model
The problem with using that logic is it is infinitely easier to make a car go from 18's to 15's then from 15's to 12's. Much less power gain required to do so! Not to mention no traction issues at that low of a power level.

Plus the whole fact that 15's are not remotely quick at all. My wife's 4cyl ATX Cavalier could crack 15's when bone stock. (Just barely but 15's none-the-less) I would not rate it quick in my book. Great gas mileage and very reliable but not a fast car worth bragging about. Now if Hector did all those mods to his Zetec himself (IIRC) then that fact is definitely worth bragging about! The ET or its improvement is not though.

Exactly what I was thinking. By Roger's logic, 03 Cobras running 12.8's stock, should be able to run 9.8's with a few grand thrown at it. I know that comparing 03 Cobras to an ATX Zetec Contour are apples to oranges, but so is comparing an ATX Zetec Contour to an SVT Contour. Taking a second off your 1/4 mile time is a LOT easier when we're talking 18's to 17's, than 12's to 11's.

Point well taken guys, its been some time since I've been personally involved with getting something down into the 12's from the mid 14's I guess I'm just saying Hector isn't getting his props for what he actually did with the car, thats all. I've been in the car and thought it moved out pretty well and on the freeway, well, it ran VERY well



Now, about the EVO vs. WRX! I thought about something, something that hasn't really been talked about and thats the cheerleading thing Derek not only has Steeda at his disposal, but PAWS as well and I for one don't think thats all too fair I "even things up", I'm going to need to apply an "aerodynamic package" to the EVO while its here for the D&B's meet, say 4 coats of acrylic and caranuba! That should do the trick

I did all the mods (everything except exhaust).

Question? Why does it matter that the car ran 15s? I improved my quarter mile time 3 seconds from stock and again the car gets bashed and put down. 3 seconds is 3 seconds despite traction or other "issues" associated with high horsepower cars. I never claimed the car was fast but a HELL of a lot faster than stock. I worked with what I had and it paid off.

Come on Demon, I would expect better from you. Saying that your wife's Cavy ran 15s stock (comparing it to my modded Zetec). That is like saying you put all this money into your modded SVT and it only runs 13s......then comparing it to my car which runs 13's stock.
Posted By: Y2KSVT Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 01/24/06 05:54 AM
Hector,
I think you're taking it the wrong way. I've seen your old Tour, and thought it was badass. I know what sort of effort it took, as I've been on here reading every one of your posts about fitment issues, tuning issues, etc. The only thing I argued was Roger's comment. Just stating that it's a lot of time to take off, but 3 seconds isn't 3 seconds when it comes to 1/4 mile times. 3 seconds off of a 20 second car, and 3 seconds off of a 10 second car are two totally different things. You know that, and it doesn't make the work you put into your Tour, any less respectable.

I wasn't referring to any vehicles imparticular with the 20 and 10 second comments. Just stating in general.

Mark
Yeah, I agree with your viewpoint Mark.

The work you did Hector was great! It made a zetec ATX run with a base SVT. But getting times lower is like raising the volume on your stereo, it is progressively more difficult and expensive the more you go.

Very well put and VERY, VERY true about getting a car to go faster as you go down in E.T.'s. I guess the best example is if you have say an F-body that runs its mid 13's stock, then, do a couple bolt-ons and it runs into the 12's and then you wanna go 11's w/o the use of NOS or S/C'er, although those would be the easiest routes. So even if you did the S/C'er or NOS, then look at what it takes to go into the low 11's/high 10's...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and then you have to worry about breakage and building up the rearend to an 9" Ford, changing out stalls, etc. I'm glad those days are long behind me, been there, done that, now its time for canyon carving and cruizin'
Posted By: Y2KSVT Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 01/24/06 08:47 PM
It's a matter of power. Give an 18 second Contour an extra 50HP and you can take 3 seconds off of it's 1/4 mile time. Give a mid 13 second F-body 50HP and hope for low 13's. I'm sure someone will give some sort of equation to figure out how much HP it takes to drop X seconds off your ET, depending on stock power.

I played with that. Defintely not a solid calculator. 195hp was good for a 16.0, to hit a 15.0 you needed 231hp. Somethings a-miss there, a stock 195hp CSVT will pull a 15.4, and I know my last ride was pulling 15.0's and wasn't pushing 231hp, probably closer to 200hp and 225ft/lbs. Interesting little toy though.

I was more or less just running my mouth like everyone else was. However, I do believe I'd be the winner from the people I've seen post in here. I have had the chance to meet up with a turbo CSVT, so I'm not basing this off nothing. I won't post details. I don't know if you have anything done to your Evo or not (and I also hadn't seen you post in this thread yet anyhow), but if you're stock you really don't stand a chance from a roll. If you're modified it's obviously a whole other story.

In my own defense, I think I'm plenty modded enough to talk the talk. 300whp and 365wtq on 94 gas

Barge we should discuss things. The only thing restricting my HP is the turbo now...so the turbo is next to go. I've been debating S3 or other aftermarket, but with my fuel set-up I'm leaning towards other aftermarket. I could get S3 and sell a fair amount of what I have...but then I need to go through the process of pulling everything back off and putting some of the same stuff with a Mopar name on. The discussion with you would be about how you get to do all of the work and I just get to enjoy the results.

Thanks. I probably have more trouble launching than you do since your car weighs less than mine.

I don't know, I rather took a liking to the EVO's looks, esp. the MR version.

My best 60' is a 2.0, which is fairly sad in the SRT community. I haven't kept up to date on the CSVT 60' times, but I think on average they're a bit higher than that. With slicks some of the SRT guys are hitting as low as 1.6!

Ditto. I'm a big fan. I often switch between which I like more (Evo vs STI), but lately I'm on the Evo side.

I like the Evo from the front and some side shots but I think the rear looks like poop.

Of course I don't think the WRX is that great looking either... it's what's under the sheetmetal that attracted me. I'd much rather have a RWD turbo charged contour

LOL.....I would have gone the 03-04 Cobra route if it wasn't for the snow in IL. So I got something that was "all-season!"

"Factory aftermarket", good idea Hector


Looks like Hector is coming to town a day early, maybe we could just say...SATURDAY, SATURDAY, SATURDAY What do you think Derek and Ryelou
Posted By: RyeLou Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 01/31/06 01:27 AM
I work Saturday until 5pm. I could potentially do something after, but I'm not sure. I was thinking the meet was this Friday, not Sunday. I can't believe you guys are doing it on Superbowl day. Anyhow, I plan on showing up to the meet at least for a little bit still. I have to head to Port Huron though, but D&B can be on the way so it's not a huge deal to stop for a few minutes. I can't guarantee the car will be clean, but for those that ever saw my CSVT you shouldn't expect anything else.

Having the meet on this day has been a tradition for about 4 years now and is perfect because whats going on that time before the Superbowl other than a very lame and VERY long pre-game show I call it great time management! I sent you a PM Ryan about Saturday and didn't realize you work till 5:00 p.m. and I'm not sure where/what we'll be doing then, so give me a buzz

Actually, "rable rouser" is a term used by the pre-baby boomer generation, but it makes sense that Pete's using it, afterall, he does have a LeSabre w/ white walls



Back on topic, I'm calling you out Pete, I'm going to take your 3.0L out

I wouldn't be soo cocky there, tough guy

But we'll leave it at that.

and Ghetto exhuast? ya brullen ypipe and Basanni Def Ghetto


Cocky? Just stating the truth.....you will need nitrous to even stay with me.

As far as your exhaust.....it looks ghetto..... I should know...I am the king of ghetto exhausts on the Contour.




ya coming from the Guy with the Ghetto Zetec? Dream on..

Worry about Barge and when i beat you, you can go kill yourself cuase i beat you with my POS as you so stated


Ghetto Zetec....I doubt your SVT makes what my Zetec made on the dyno.




HAHAHAHAHAHA now your dreaming!!!!!!

Ill make over 185fwhp if you wanna question it look at barges 183fwhp then add the stuff i have that he didn't.

I wish i could live in your fantasy world it would be interesting.

Maybe ill just take out a loan and Crush everyone there?


Um where are your car's dyno graphs?




They'll be around just stating whos doing the tuning and i have way more mods than he did. Hate to break your igo trip but you don't konw [censored]!


Well until it is done and you have any kind of proof......who's fooling who? Talk is cheap....especially the crap that I see here.



Meh

This thread sucks. Steeda, go buy your Cobra or Lightning, your hinting sucks. If you've still got the CSVT, you don't stand a chance against Hector if you're barely pushing 185fwhp. Hell, I'll shift from 1st to 3rd to 5th and take you.

All I can say is... I CANNOT WAIT FOR SZ06!!! The drag strip is going to be nuts, you can bet that I'll be taping everyone of these so called races. I bet 50 percent of these races will fall through!

I wasn't really hinting towards anything 99% of the people on this board know i want a 03-04 cobra or a lightning.

Also i never said that i will only be at 185. i guess we'll have to see
Posted By: Klasse Act Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 02/15/06 04:01 PM
I love the "its a known fact that Roger can't drive" bit, its the funniest thing in the CEG, EVER but for the record, I have never claimed to be "Big Daddy" Don Garlits at the dragstrip, even though I cut a good light my first time out of the box Nor do I claim to be Colin McRae on the Dragon, but I'm sure my enthusiasm for going down there every year makes it "look" like I'm saying that I am and if either ones the case, its really too bad




Now as far as Steedas ride beating Hectors, well, I don't see you putting $20K into the car to come "close", but I could see you getting a used Cobra though. Then, after you do the pulley/cat-back/intake and Superchip, the race between you and Hector would be interesting As far as your current car though, I'm ready, willing and very able!
03-04 cobra would WALK hector...I've been in a few...they are stupid fast....oh wait but on these boards racing from a roll doesn't count...

Racing from a roll counts Pete, but the last time I checked, theres no RFRHRA (Racing From a Roll Hot Rod Association) In a street race the Cobra will need to hook-up, obviously, but at the dragstrip a modded Cobra (pulley/exhaust/intake/Superchip) would beat Hectors EVO in its current set-up, he'll say as much when he reads this. The Cobra is an awesome car, no doubt and what you can get out of them for about $1000 in mods is sick, but check out that street fire site because I've seen modded Cobras vs. modded EVO and all I can say is "launch, hook and over" for the Cobras I've seen, sorry
Posted By: Steeda. Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 02/15/06 05:06 PM
Im gonna move very soon soo thats obviously first. After that i'll check the funds and go from there on the Cobra/Lightning.

As far as the CSVT i guess we'll just have to race roger.
Posted By: Y2KSVT Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 02/15/06 06:17 PM
bone stock 03/04 Cobra > stock to lightly modded EVO

If you can cut a 2.0 60' with the Cobra, I don't care if the EVO pulls a 1.5, it's lights out Mitsubishi.

That $1000 - $2000 in mods for the Cobra, you're looking at 11's without batting an eye.

Mark
Posted By: Klasse Act Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 02/15/06 06:46 PM
I remember watching Hot Rod TV and they spent $600.00 total on the pulley and SCT to get 440 RWHP out of the Cobra, amazing. IMO, with a better exhaust and CAI, that number is sure to go up another 20 hp, making those 11's VERY easy The rule of thumb is this, "theres 20 cars you can beat and theres 20 cars that can beat you!"

I knew you'd see it that way, but what do you expect, Hector is a stand up guy I bet alot more of us would have different cars if we didn't live in the "snow belt"

Crossfire has a nice feel to it. I haven't gotten to drive one though.
Posted By: elraido Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 02/18/06 01:07 AM
I'll go and race anyone and everyone in my 79 F-250 if someone helps me buy;
Ford Motorsport Cobra Jet heads (the current Kaase design) port matched and blended
A mild hydraulic roller cam (like the Crane 311-2s-12)
500-520 cid stroker kit
Something along the lines of 10.5:1 CR (achievable with aluminum heads)
A good set of headers with 2" to 2-1/4" primaries.
Weiand Stealth intake topped with a 900-950 cfm carb

Only produces 562 HP @ 5000 RPM and 651 lb-ft torque from 2500 to 4000 RPM. there is 642 lb-ft on tap at 2500 RPM and it doesn't drop below 600 lb-ft until 5000 RPM

I just saw that set up on another forum for the truck and couldn't believe it. Screw modding the tour from now on, I need to same money for that!!!! Lots and lots of money

I "used" to run a 9.98 100m. Of course, I "used" to have a top speed of about 22.5 mph (though, granted, not for long at all)

I wouldn't dare exert myself that much, anymore.

Roger lives in this world where everyone is a motor trend test driver. he will soon find out that im gonna Crush him!!!!!!!!!!




Like I said.....you'd better have more than a exhaust and "tune"




To beat roger? HA he'll run like a mid 15 if that. I won't beat you but I'll bet its alot closer than you think


I can't see you running better than a mid 15 either. I guess we will find out.




Sorry I know how to drive and Its not a zetec ATZ

Steeda, you may be right since I've never dragged a stick car, but we'll see and keeping it close with Hector with your ride is going to need a combo of 3.0L w/ NOS (lots of it), turbo'd 2.5L/3.0L or S/C-er, so what is it

You sir, are insane. I'm going to make sure that I have a bottle on my car, come Spring Zing. I probably won't even be pushing 300fwhp, and I'll show you that it doesn't take a turbo and a LOT of "NOS" as you like to put it. This is going to be interesting.

Posted By: RyeLou Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 02/19/06 02:48 PM
I'll guarantee it takes a turbo and at least a decent sized shot of nitrous to keep up. I've raced a turbo CSVT a handful of times at different mod levels.

Hahaha. No kidding.

I would take a standard 2.5L SVT with the 75 wet shot I used to run and expect to destroy the 'average driver' in a bone stock EVO. Modded is different story of course.
There was a guy in TX who came in with his evo using a fancy boost controller and intake, new blow-off valve, plugs etc, and he maxed out the boost on his car and he was only pulling mid 13s around a little over 102.xx or 103.xx mph range.
Driven well and with a few good mods I'm sure it is a consistent mid 13's car, but actual bone stock for the normal driver it seems to be a low 14's maybe 13.9x 1/4mile car.

A 3L on nitrous.....if he can launch fairly well and hook up in 2nd gear then I wouldn't vote for the basic EVO being the winner, even with an intake.
Either way, I'll give the nod to the 3L SVT with Nitrous once they hit 3rd gear, the duratec is so nice with a little power and room to stretch its legs.
Of course with mods on both, it will be a kick ass race but the EVO will get a good hole shot and maybe enough to keep the lead! Please take lots of video.

Keep up with who? You mean to keep up with an EVO or your SRT-4....or do you mean to keep up with a turbo SVT?

Which is exactly why I've been dieing to get my car running right and to the track with the bottle. Consistently low 2.2 and 2.1 60' times, and the tires barely bark in 2nd. Not sure what makes my car hook and most not, but I think Jim can contest to it. 2nd gear hooks pretty violently. Can't wait til May!

I was typing without thinking really. I think a turbo 2.5L or a turbo 3.0L would keep up with a stock Evo, but I still think it would lose. If you're talking about a car like yours with full internals (I'm guessing, right?) and pretty much every other part made for the CSVT, that may be different. To really beat on a stock Evo or beat a lightly modded SRT I do think you'll need something on top of a standard turbo kit. I have no idea where the S/C CSVT fits into the picture.

Too you its not cool, fine! I didn't lease the car because I thought it was the coolest ride out there, I just liked the car and how it drove and I certainly don't think its that fast, but its fast enough to beat a CSVT w/ exhaust/CAI, thats for sure.


Now as far as it not having M-B parts worth a damn, well your right Steeda, the engine/trans/rearend/suspension/brakes/chassis isn't really that much and as far as AMG, well, I couldn't afford the SRT-6 Crossfire because at the time they were still $47K+, but in addition to the cost, I didn't want it either because they only come in automatics



In any case, which one of you and your CSVT wants to run it before SZ because all this talk is cheap Just do me a favor and make sure:

-your car is in tune
-you've got good tires
-your car's "ready"

NO EXUSES!

You do realize that all your doing is talking too. You keep flappin your gums about how fast your homosexual car is.

Your gonna need more than some debadging and different muffler to be around me. Maybe try racing Pete, Or ContourPower

So let me see if I got this right, race a 3.0L SE and a CSVT w/150K on it and then, only then, do I get to "prove myself" against your ride and its "mystery mods" Thats fine, but like I said, unless your doing something "major", I don't see the results being that much different either way, but we'll see. Your right, I'm talkin' too, so when someone is ready out there, lets head down to the city airport area on a Sunday



As far as the car being a "homo ride", well, becareful Steeda, you don't want to get banned, do you Not sayin' I'm going to get all pissed about it, but we do have someone who's a vetern CEG-er who is that way and he could make a stink to Lance about it, something to think about.

Seriously, whats the deal with all the secrets First it was Marks ride and I said something to JD about it, now this 1 to 1.5 second improvement in a stock CSVT, just say what it is already, I mean, its a Contour, not some muscle car w/ a s/b chevy that could have any number of mods, so just tell everyone already

-3.0L
-3.0L w/ NOS
-2.5L w/NOS
-2.5L w/S/C-er
-3.0L w/S/C-er
-2.5L w/turbo
-3.0L w/turbo
-2.5L w/exhaust/CAI and "Barge" tune
-2003 "Terminator" and if thats the case, I SURRENDER




As far as going down to city airport and it being a risk, well, have someone videotape it and then put it on streetfire, that way, everyone can see how bad I got smoked and what I got smoked by
Roger...you are missing the point. You have NEVER dragged a MT automobile before. You are 'thinking' that you can hit the C/D times your first shot...and you are DEAD WRONG. Jason has been to the track enough times to be confident that he can beat you on skill alone. I think that is what this entire argument is based upon.

The question is if Jason's tired SVT can even hold up. Not only to the drag race itself but to the "mystery" power mods that are going into it. I think it will be close.....even if Roger doesn't drive the car 100% the car is still going to run a low 15 which is hard for any mildly modded SVT driver to hit. This will be a driver's race.

OK well the extreme Genius's we are here at thee World Famous Skunkworks Autosport. We found out that if your Atomize the HIV virus then spray that into the intake it creates a small nuclear reaction in the ignition stroke.

Soo we have been extracting the HIV from MXracer, and there is a massive increase in power. pretty much the same as typing in 1 on your calculater then hitting the sqaured multiple times thats the insane power increase that comes with this setup..

better get more than a cool vortex generator ohh maybe get some 8" stripes they add power




You know what, whether your kidding or not, I've been sick and tired of the ripping on the stripes on my old ride, period Back when I was a member of the SVT/SHO Society I was asked by Steve Chang "are you going to do anything to backup the stripes?" I heard this time and time again, but when I showed up to meets from the other side of the state every month, not one compliment on this mod or that mod but rather, some "comment" about the stripes and "backing them up". As time went on I added a couple mods that were supposed to be the sh$t, like the "mystery mod" and true duals. I then pulled a whopping 159 hp and I'm sure everyone laughed about that Then one year later, w/ no other mods, I pulled 168 hp but then I heard "the way you drive like an old man the UIM/LIM are probably choked to death!". Fast forward to SZ04' where everyone is there and I dyno again, w/ only the BAT pipe and 9" K&N added, along with more miles, and I pull 171 hp, but this was a Mustang dyno, not the DynoJet like we previously used. The guy told everyone there to add 10-15% if your used to using a DynoJet so we did and going on the low side the car put down 188 hp and IIRC Steves ride put down a corrected 191 hp, so his CSVT with a chip and cleaning of the UIM/LIM and other "mods" put out 3 more hp. BTW, I'm not purposely calling out Steve, but I just remember him saying the "back up the stripes" comments, no big deal Steve as I have no beef with you.



Now as far you Steeda for coming in here with your "8" stripes" comments, why do that? I believe we got into a pissing match here a couple monthes ago and I couldn't understand why you would say these things, so I have to respond. From front to back, side to side, top to bottom, I had one the nicest cars anywhere, arrogant, well not IMO because my car backed it up. I just don't understand why someone who's rides haven't even been close to show worthy would rip on someone car who looked like it always came right off the showroom floor. I had things to go along with the stripes, don't anyone be so stupid about that give me a break but just because I didn't let someone clean my manifolds or have an unproven chip in my car didn't mean the car was slow! Theres just certain cars here that always got a free ride where others were overlooked, thats why I brought up the dyno pull at SZ04' comparing my car to Steves ride. I got ripped for the bad pulls back in the day, but when I dynos very closely to a "untouchable CEG-er" it goes unnoticed, pathetic I'm also sorry I didn't blow up a diff or two or three to show everyone I don't drive like an old man, those comments are SO stupid and untrue and I'm also very sick and tired of those. For one thing, what does dumping your clutch in a car thats not built for that do, seriously Secondly, I used to drive for a living and needed to keep my record clean, but even with that, I usually drove the CSVT 80 mph on the freeway, believe it or not Thats really the problem here in the CEG, no respect to those who earn it and if you don't have something nice, rip on and/or jump on the bandwagon for the "joke", whether its true or not, stupid




In closing, Pete, I never said I was going to hit anything on my first try but do you really think I'm going to run into the 16's, all kidding aside (if thats even possible here ) Since its not going to look like a trip down to the city airport how about Ubly as soon as it opens and we'll settle this once and for all

First off I can certainly take a joke, are you kidding me! I'm 5'6" and lost my hair 15 years ago, so my skin is pretty thick, but when I comes to cars and this site, enough is enough Comparing me to noob, please! Now as far as my car care count, thats not there anymore, but rather advertisement for my side business, pretty smart if you ask me As far as a life and how much I take care of my car, I make time for that, usually at night time, when the wife and kids are away or when its raining out, again, pretty smart if you ask me and great time management! Now as far as heading out to Ubly, well, I can understand that, its just the track I'm comfortable with, thats all and its not that big of a deal to drive there, is it

Roger,

That dyno at SZ04 was a joke. The numbers it wa putting out were totally out of wack. It might have been accurate for higher outputs or something but the numbers it was putting out for contours were dynojet like numbers... w/o adding 10-15%. Too bad my car wasn't around to make like 220 with the 15% :-P.

Your car may not have been slow but it was not as fast as it could have been with a tune and an intake cleaning. Heck my car picked up 14 hp w/ just a tune.... and I think I could have easily hit 200 hp with headers and an exhaust seeing as how I had all my cats and the stock exhaust w/ the resonator.

So anyway... everyone needs to stop quoting sz04 dyno numbers because in my mind they are totally meaningless...

now go put some stripes on your crossfire so i'll be able to pick it out from 15 car lengths back.

I know I get "pissy" sometimes, but I don't like my car getting pulled into things like this (my old one). My car "may" have added some power with a tune and intake cleaning (ringing the old bit siren), but I was very skeptical on those things, just like headers were supposed to add hp and that was proven to be a waste of money (sorry to those who didn't get that memo ) Either way, the car is long gone, I stepped into the Crossfire because I "Jedi-mindtricked" myself out of the EVO because noone had any maintaince records and now I'll wait it out for the next 2 years enjoying the Crossfire. For the record, I had the CSVT up to 130 about 4-5 times, between 110-120 many times, but yes, have only dumped the clutch 3 times in it and FWIW, I've dumped the clutch more than that in less than one year in the Crossfire I'd also like to mention the time we left Belle Isle on our way to Mexican Village, remember that one Derek

Actually you've been around long enough Pete, don't you know they really don't add that much if anything at all. I'm going by what Tom dyno'd last year with his CSVT, 177 hp with the "usual" mods in addition to the headers. I know the price has come way down on them, but for the money, just do the "mystery mod" and call it a day

I will agree to a POINT. I am not putting on headers because I am broke, BUT with tuning I think the differences can be great!
AFAIC...Tom's results are on two diff dynos...no two dynos are identical.

Too bad he's on crack if he thinks headers do nothing for our cars. Hmmm, mystery mod? Got turbulence? N/A, headers are the only way to go.

Headers don't do [censored]. I think it's crazy to spend $600 to get 5 hp. There's two ways to mod a car, go big or do little [censored] to help you enjoy the car more. Going bolt on crazy is stupid.

Where are your dyno graphs to show that headers only gain 5HP? FYI, the headers give the Duratec a chance to breathe throught the ENTIRE rev range! Not to mention, make way for future mods!
Bolt-ons are stupid? Since you didn't say for Contours only, I'll assume you mean for all cars. Damn those 03/04 Cobra guys doing bolt-on pulleys and catbacks to gain 50+hp, they've gotta be nuts!
Everyone mods their car for different reasons. California has emissions restrictions that keep them from "going big." Some are into Auto-X, and small bolt-ons keep them in that lower class than going F/I'd.
Why are you selling the turbo kit? Thought you said your car was falling apart. Not exactly the best choice to "go big" now was it?

First off WTF has a CAI??? Cuase i don't they don't add power just like the headers.

What do you consider crushing? 5 cars? do you consider that crushing you?


Im being fair and saying you will run a 15.4 and thats me being generous. Wanna argue with that? Maybe the decals you put on your rims dropped your 1/4 time???

Most CSVT's have a CAI now, don't they



Now for the second part, YES!, I agree and as a matter of fact, Hector and I both agreed that (5) cars was "crushing" someone, amazing that we agree



Then you had to go an ruin it with the decal comment , but thats ok, except for the "being generous" comment. I'm not sure if its the fact you think I don't know how to drive and/or the fact I haven't been down the track yet, but either way, we'll find out before SZ06' though. I'm picking Rawburt to race and we'll do that race at Ubly, somewhere he can go seeing he's not to far away from there So how about it Rawburt, is your car ready to represent the CEG against the Crossfire BTW, anyone else that wants to go and doesn't mind the drive, let us know because as soon as they open, weather permitting, ITS ON!!!

How about you guys get the sand out of your snatches, and put your money where your mouths are? Seems to be a lot of trash talking going back and forth. If I were any closer, I'd make it to the track and hand both of you your asses. Since I'm not, I have to wait until Spring Zing, and do it in front of a couple dozen CEG'ers.

Milan or Lapeer.
Posted By: RyeLou Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 02/27/06 02:54 AM
I'd be up for going to Milan or Lapeer whenever they open. And I'll be more than happy to put anyone in their place.

FYI I was at Lapeer a week or two before they closed and the track was in worse condition than I had ever seen it. Honestly, there were 3 people working that day. 1 in the tower, 1 in the time slip booth and 1 standing at the line directing traffic. There was litterally no prep done to the track AT ALL. There was a bit of dirt and a few loose stones just behind the starting line. They wouldn't allow the FWD vehicles to back into the water box and for a few hours wouldn't spray water elsewhere to use either. They ended up spraying a bit of water off to the side for FWD, but it really wasn't enough IMO. Lapeer = everyone loses

I'm sure I never said I'd beat a NOS-powered CSVT, thats for sure, but isn't your car the one that dyno'd 180 hp or so w/o the NOS and 3.0L Either way, it would be fun none the less because racing is fun and anything can happen, well, if the planets line up, Steeda has something positive to say about another CEG-er ride which is 100% awesome and the Lions make it to the Superbowl



Pete, April 1st is fine for Ubly because I'm not driving to "Lapeer-billy" and Ubly is closer for me and Rawburt, but if any of you wanna come along and "run it", lets go Also, just because Ubly opens on April 1st, there isn't going to any "fools" other than the doubters
I'd prefer to go to Milan...I know a lot of Xceedspeed will be going on April 1st.

You've got me confused for someone else. At Spring Zing I dyno'd 196fwhp and 190fwtq. Soon after I ordered an Xcal2 and put down 206fwhp and 195fwtq. Should be interesting then, huh?

Lapeer's not the best track in the world... but you can actually go down the strip more than 3 times in an 8 hour day.

I hate going to milan... every time i've gone there I get 2-3 runs in.. that's it.

Too many cars.. motorcycles.. junior dragsters... takes forever. And all those fast cars like to break and it takes forever to clean it up.

Unless it was an 8 second car .

Milan can be a pretty good track when its prepped. Has come along way over the years. Had to in order to get IHRA events.

If I get a pair of slicks by then (which I don't know if I will or not) I will put everyone who goes in their place. Sorry if I was unclear earlier....ME > *

haha

Anyhow, I do like Milan for the nice track prep and the experience of watching all the cars/bikes/snowmobiles/whatever else run is pretty cool, but like Barge said it almost isn't worth it unless you're just spectating. I've only been there once, but I went 3 times in the 4 hours I was there. I've never been to Ubly but I haven't heard anything bad about it. I'd be up for Lapeer even though the track is [censored]. Everyone is at the same disadvantage for the most part, so it really doesn't matter anyhow.

Posted By: RyeLou Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 03/02/06 03:23 PM
I don't have any timeslips of my own, but if you go over to SRT Forums and look in the Timeslip Database, thats pretty much the average. 107 - 114mph and 11.9 - 12.9 (all depending on what kind of tires/60' time you get)
Posted By: Barge Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 03/02/06 04:18 PM
Mid 12's at that trap pretty much necessitates slicks... which is think ryelou is planning on having.
Posted By: RyeLou Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 03/02/06 10:27 PM
The times I listed are stock turbo non-nitrous having SRT's with roughly 300whp on slicks. The 11.9 is the fastest with the above criteria (stock turbo no nitrous) and he ran it at 114mph i believe. On average people with my mods get an easy mid 12 with a 1.8 or lower and their speed is usually around 110. Some of the guys who are newer to drag racing or just suck at it will wind up with a high 12s pass. Without slicks, on street tires (drag radials included) theres just too much power all at once to control traction much. Those times will range from a 12.8 or so up to about 13.4 depending on exactly how bad the 60' time is (from 2.0 to 2.2/3)

I don't have slicks now and I'm still debating whether to buy some or not. They're about $150 each and I have the wheels for them already. You can get plenty of runs on them (at least one season, and easiyl two if you don't go too often). My debate is if it's worth the cost or not. I do enjoy drag racing, but I only went three times last year. With the CSVT, I went twice in three years.

Edit: I do actually have a timeslip from my last trip to the track. I ran a 13.3 I believe at 107mph. My 60' time was a 2.1 I believe. I don't recall if I had all of the mods I have now or not though..? The conditions were probably as bad as they can get. 45 degree day with absolutly no track prep. The timing system they had worked on and off that day, so some slips you got wouldn't have certain times or speeds on them. Lapeer is a pretty [censored] track altogether.

Rear power windows are over rated. And keeping the car at 2900 lbs. more than makes up for it, too.
Posted By: Ray_dup1 Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 03/04/06 02:44 AM
They weigh THAT MUCH??? For all the "gutted, lightweight, ultra performance" looks and hype, they are relatively heavy!
Posted By: RyeLou Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 03/04/06 03:22 AM
Something like 2939lbs. or around there. I personally don't think thats all that heavy. They do skip out on some things like rear power windows, but it's not like it's a tin can with a motor?
Posted By: Ray_dup1 Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 03/04/06 03:24 AM
No.. I don't think that they are "that heavy" either. Its just that an SVT is touted as a "rather" heavy family sedan at 31xx/32xx. I would have thought that a "sub-compact/PERFORMANCE ORIENTED/racing seats and LSD with factory turbo upgrades" having car would be a little further from that than it is.

Ryan, I believe you'll hit your prediction w/ slicks because mid 12's and 110 mph are right on target with a good 60 ft time



Rawburt, you have NO exuse for going to Ubly in April. Your half way there already and I now live 1/2 hr closer myself, so we need to do this, just make sure you get everything squared away and I mean everything Everyone else, come on up if you want to because I hear people complaining about not being able to get in alot of passes at Milan and Lapeer is piece of crap track from what alot of people here and other places say. Why not give Ubly a try and afterwards we can back to my place and do some "post-game" show of our showdown

Don't forget the good driver mod. If Roger wants you to be the voice of CEG when it comes to drag racing, I hope you don't walk away with a bunch of 16 second time slips.

I'm not calling Rawburt the "voice of the CEG", but rather the only person that lives alot closer to Ubly that will actually go. Personally, I'd like Pete and his 3.0L SE to go up there as well, or JD and his 3.0L SE, especially now that he's actually found someone to do fuel rail that doesn't leak Either way, come April, someone will surely step up and make it up there. I've got a couple reasons for going up there, one is to prove a point, second is to finally take a stick car down the track and finally, to have fun That being said, its only about 3-4 weeks till Ubly opens, are you guys ready ===========

I took upon myself to ask about some 1/4 mile time from the member over at the Crossfire forum and one guy, who lives in NJ and actually got to run his car recently, ran a 14.9 @93 mph on a very hard, no traction track. His 60 ft times were 2.30's, so thats not very good. His only mod was an absolute chip and his car is an automatic. He also posted some other times for his friends car, this one in particular was very interesting

Quote:

2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII, 5 speed
Best time was 12.987 @ 106.77 mph, high 60' (like 1.9 maybe, he also blew his clutch at the end).

How about we make it lapeer... 30 minute drive beats an almost 2 hour drive!

he won't that would mean doing something new, Notice how all the meets are at the same place and if they arn't he doesn't go?????


Posted By: RawBurt Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 03/08/06 06:22 PM
For real, and what does it matter if lapeer has a so called crappy track... You are racing a lease!!!!

I like lapeer better than milan, I couldn't get [censored] for traction there with the XR4ti.

First of all, don't you live in Almont Secondly, why would it matter if the track is crappy and I have a lease, I don't get that one Finally, its true I've really only ran at Ubly, but thats the place I like but FWIW, I did go to the old Detroit Dragway back in the summer of 97' and finally broke into the 12's there, so I really don't mind a new track. In closing, why in the hell would you say anything about a drive being a problem for me. I don't think you were around back then, but I used to drive across the state about once a month to sit in a library for our SVT/SHO meets and that was about 2 years in a row. Not to mention the Yearend Bash that included a road rally and those were always over on that side of the state. For anyone here to talk sh&t about me not driving anywhere is obsurd, but you've got to consider the source too Oh yeah, how about the 1850 miles I put on my car last year while doing the Dragon Run, would you like me to go on, thought so
Posted By: Klasse Act Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 03/09/06 02:19 AM
Some of the bench racing has moved to here, I guess Steeda can't help himself Bench racing part duex!
yeah, roger has said this and that about the NEW face of CEG an well it's the same old annoying...I don't care about wat track, but Ubly is out of everyone's way...

Milan or Lapeer...let's just effin do this!

Let's just go to US 131 Dragway over on the west side. Neutral ground :-P
Posted By: Klasse Act Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 03/10/06 12:08 AM
Pete, Rawburt lives in Almont and I now live in Macomb Township which means Ubly is the closest track for us to go to, this is why I wanna go there, besides the fact that I like it there, so its a win win for us! We've got about 6 weeks to go, so get your ducks in a row and lets do this

its south of Green Bay by like 10 miles. Hell he wants to go where hes comfortable i wanna go where im comfortable.

just proves how rediculous he really is
Posted By: RyeLou Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 03/10/06 04:51 AM
With all this talk I better see some action come track opening time.

Why don't you all quit bitching and go to every track? Go to Ubly, Lapeer and Milan and then start complaining about which one sucks due to prep/distance of drive/amount of runs you get.

It is not the closest track! Lapeer takes about 20 minutes for me to get there, Ubly is at least an hour+
Posted By: Y2KSVT Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 03/10/06 01:51 PM
How about you all quit acting like you're actually going to meet up? Save it for Spring Zing. We'll all be going to the same track, where none of us have any experience. Nobody has an advantage either way. This way, you can get your ass handed to you in front of everyone at Spring Zing, instead of just looking like a bunch of shyte talking fools.

No drag racing at SZ for me. I was going to either pick dyno or the strip. Well I picked dyno, no I dont have to worry about breaking anything in another state!
Posted By: Barge Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 03/10/06 02:07 PM
My car will be hitting the drag strip as soon as the tracks open... well.. as long as it's in one running piece by then.

As for times.... you'll have to wait for SZ.

Then what are you worried about breaking? After the dyno, you'll see that you don't have enough power to brake an axle.

I dont know, by then ill have over 120k on the car... I'm just not too comforatable with it
Posted By: Y2KSVT Re: SZ "bench racing", lets do it here! - 03/10/06 04:39 PM
But comfortable enough to race in 30 minutes from your house? You've got a Quaife, and a SPEC clutch in there. Might as well take them out and sell them to someone that'll use them.

And yes, this is my way of talking you into racing at SZ!

Pansy.

Yes, comforatable 30 minutes from my house, that way if I break anything I can call up one of my many power stroke friends and have them tow me home.

obviously, you don't know what a blanket party is... as it is something you should definitely fear if you've been targeted. hope you enjoy yours at SZ!

"oh I can't drive a hour to the track"
"oh wait and see me beat you"
"oh I got secret mods"

"oh my puss hurts"

All I see is certain pansy MI CEGers making excuses why they don't want to run at the track with Roger. Seems to me that they are AFRAID of a little Crossfire.

Before you say anything about me....I drive 1.5-2 hours to WI to run at the strip. So don't complain to me about driving.

I am done...if you got something to say to me....call me 630-205-5759.

no one is afraid to race him, trust me.

but nobody except him wants to drive 2 hours out of our way to do it.

i personally think rogers sticking with ubly because he knows none of us will bother going up there... so it's safe for him.

Dude, it's night and weekend minutes right now.

But anyways, I went back a good many post and don't see nuthing bout a crossfire. Guessin I missed something.
EDIT: Nevermind, found it posted 15+ days ago.

And hector, don't put your number on the internet. If I had a few more screwdrivers, I'd be calling you right now.
