It's not Greddy of Defi, who gives a **** hahahahahahah

CleanNeon98 · 03-31-2009, 01:03 PM

I have no need for Defi or Greddy. I got this cheap and they are proven effective.

remove spare

are you going to drive around all the time on the street with no spare, mis-matched tire pressures and a little gas?

No but it's certainly closer than if I hit 1.9 60 foots (which again cant be done with the current setup) because I had radials on, which I would NEVER use on the street. I do usually have my spare out though, not for the weight factor but so I have more room in my trunk.

alwaysinboost · 03-31-2009, 01:38 PM

I didn't read all 1600 posts in this thread so I don't know what all you have done to your car but I can say that a 1.9 - 60' is 100% absolutly doable on street tires in that car.
Just cause you didn't bang out sub 2.0 - 60's doesn't mean it can't be done.

IMO the car isn't nearly powerful enough to pull that kind of launch. I said before that with a DP and exhaust, it would have more grunt and be able to shave some of that off, but with about 175whp and 170wtq I think it's pretty safe to say no. My friend was there with his 350z which has I think 255 or 275 tires in the rear and he couldn't get under 2 seconds (mind you he ran a 13.9xx) and he's got WAY more power than me to get off the line in a hurry and more tire to hook up better.

alwaysinboost · 03-31-2009, 01:55 PM

I've made heavier, less powerful, wrong wheel drive cars pull 1.9 - 60's on all season tires. you have less weight, RWD, more power and I'm sure better tires.
what you lack is the experience and seat time. to say that car can't do a 1.9 - 60' because you couldn't accomplish it your first time out is false, don't blame the car when the driver is at fault.

noclutch · 03-31-2009, 04:53 PM

^ I agree.

CleanNeon98 · 04-01-2009, 07:24 PM

Guess I'll try harder next time.

disturbedfan121 · 04-02-2009, 12:01 AM

Alex, are you going to street wars?

CleanNeon98 · 04-02-2009, 10:59 AM

Negative.

disturbedfan121 · 04-02-2009, 05:43 PM

Fail.

CleanNeon98 · 04-02-2009, 06:48 PM

There's always other days to race.

sean3 · 04-07-2009, 01:12 PM

How about race warz? Going there?

And when is the ls1 going in? You'll have 0.9 60's with an ls1!

motorvated · 04-07-2009, 01:13 PM
