tazman7474: ooohhh on mud tracks or tarmac? I take it you mean on the short ovals

tazman7474: LOL...sounds better commin from you
tell us alittle about those there 4 bangers?

stevie, yes i race on the ovals, both mud and real ones! lol i started out on the dirt tracks up here in the fingerlakes of ny, switched to pavement 2 yrs ago, partly for a change of pace and partly because of the nascar sanction at the track!! everyone wants to drive nascar!!! i've done it!(in a way) lol i won the track championship in 2003, i own the car that won it in 2004!!! it was fun but way too much work! i'm taking it easy this year and have no plans on getting into a points chase! i also have picked up a junior driver( we have a class just for the kids from 12 to 15) you probably know his mom, i know bwild does! lol MidnightMcMedic not too sure if she'll kill me for telling everyone i know her or not, but i'm feeling adventurous today! lol it should be a fun summer! I'm going to try and get her into the car for a couple of powder-puff races too! (ladies only, no current or past drivers)

way cool Skip.
(yes I knew you know her and son too LOL)

Backoff:
Now lets compare that to the viper which can be found at most Dodge Dealerships in the US.

500 horsepower
525 lb-ft of torque
505 cubic inches of displacement
Acceleration1 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds
Standing 1/4 Mile (stock) 12.1@119.3 MPH
Lateral Acc. 1.02G (Lets see the benz do this)

I had a 1994 RT/10 which was just about 400 HP. There was a kit that the shop on Long Island would install for another $15,000 to drop the 0-60 to 3.7 seconds.

There was one drawback: this sidepipes would get red hot! Occasionally when getting out of the car, my left leg would get too close to it, and damn!

I don't like the body style of the new Vipers, but 500 HP is nothing to sneeze at either.

I got 14 seconds dead at 96Mph up the strip on sunday :oD not bad for a road car

Stevie: congrats!!! how long is the strip you guys use over there? just wondering

Ha, I can run that on foot!!!

j/k

good job!

tazman7474: cant be too long...he'd run out of country!! LOL...WTG Steve!! is this the engine you replaced?

Stevie: very nice.
Thats an average of more than 100 kmh
Considering its from a stopped position, very very impressive for a street legal car.
I think I could pull a 14 second 1/4 block in mine :(

bwildman:

tazman7474: Its 1/4mnile, just the same as the TAD and drag bikes etc all over the world do.

Wayney: yes it was from stand still ( best reaction time I got was 0.402seconds)

Bwildman: yep, thats on the engine I rebuilt

Backoff: you fool LMAO

Best bit is that Mr Chairman (me) won all his runs against Mr vice Chairman and other club staff who have more BHP and LB/ft than me :oD LOL

Stevie: lol, i've been trying to tell the guys for years, that you can make a million hp, but if you don't put it on the ground. all you're gonna do is make noise and smoke!!

tazman7474: so true LOL

nobleheart...thats ugly LOL

yes,but it flies

Stevie: just to put a 1/4 mile into perspective for someone like me who has never done it.
What time would say a stock standard normal little 4 door honda civic with about 125 HP pull in a qm?

I suppose I would guess over 20 but would be curious to know

somewhere in the 17-20 second range depending on which tranny and the caffine intake of the driver.

wayney: is that a vtec engine or normal 8 valve?
Ally's 1.6 vtec delsol (2 door convertable civic) with induction kit and sports exhaust doe sit in around high 16's ( not sure of the bhp of it).

It depends of if your civics are same as ours, and what age etc etc. can you show me a piccy on the net of the type you have, and Ill find out from my club members for you

just a normal vtec, 2001 stock standard
quite weak on power during overtaking.
A good grandma car, driven on sundays only (honest ;)

oooooooooooooh how nasty *hand hovers over hide button*
LMAO ;op

Stevie: ya know we love ya stevie! lol even if you do sit on the wrong side of the car!
