Why are the guys that are supposed to be our bretheren in the struggle for speed...have to talk ****?
I got a buddy at school who just spent 9 grand on a 98 Z28. Apparently, its got a lot of SLP upgrades...However it seems as though its lacking stuff where it really counts, and hes just got power upgrades...nothing else.
As far as I can tell hes just got most bolt-ons...loud mouth and all that jazz...Id say its a low-mid 12 second car maybe? Not sure on the specs in full.
Anyways...all he does is talk **** to my roommate about how he "is going to **** all over me" when he brings his camaro down. Mind you hes from a mountainous area in PA. I'm just posting up to see if I can get him to get to a track, be it englishtown, island, or atco...if any of you guys would be down to show him his car isn't god's gift to speed.
I know a lot of you guys are always down for a good race so let me know.
I'll tow his ass into a field. then we'll see who's number one! :lol:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
hmm I know we have some ten second cars over hear
if its a bolt on only 98 car its more likely a mid to high 12 second car......especially if its on stock rear/street tires

get taht torque arm we were talking about and some practice at the track. once you have some runs and some more data logging update your tuning, consider a little bit of gear, and **** on him.

Update:
Apparently, he is claiming the engine has got some work to it...he says its got head work with a new valvetrain, crank and pistons...
however its got the stock rear end in it. 6 speed. may have 3.42s or 3.73s...
the engine/gears are apparently the only not stock things in the vehicle...the stock LS1 apparently was blown up...and this engine is the replacement. don't know how true it holds up. he got the car for 9 grand...seems a bit cheap for a worked LS1.
Yea Tim I'm definitely going to get the torque arm as my next mod. However datalogging is going to be key now...as Jon and I tuned this thing with a couple of exhaust leaks pre-02. Now its acting a hair funny...seems just a tad under powered too.

hehe, and yes it will have a purge setup just for the shock factor. Since i will probably never hit spray on the street, (itll only be used at the track) i can use the purge all i want on the street, lol. Im gonna mess with anyone that thinks they are faster(even if they may be) The bike stock does like 10.2 so with the work done to it plus spray its easily in the 9's. but im not gonna race on the street at all, speed a little, but not all out race. I cant wait to see the faces of ricers that rev at me...id just pause look over, shake my head, purge and then slowly keep going. And many NOS setups are bikes are hidden...hell no, i'm gonna have a 2.5lb bottle hanging right off my tail fairing for everyone to see, hence the reason i NEED a nos permit.

Too many variable to know what he runs. I never understood when people buy "worked" cars and have no idea what's in it. How could you buy a car knowing it might have a cam or head work and not know the specs?
Can this guy drive at all?
i convinced this kid with a mustang cobra to race my "rear wheel drive honda" on the highway, for a little money, and he got all cocky saying that no s2000 would ever beat him....
the look on his face when i rolled up on my cbr was priceless...he stayed with his word and raced me so i let him keep his money afterwords....but boy was that a funny night
When i had my 99 cbr600f4, i would try to set up races all the time, id say i had a 99 honda, 4cyl, with exhaust and an air filter... people would get all excited that they could win, lol, and they'd keep talking **** so id finally tell them and then usually it was "OH BIKES DONT COUNT" but on occasion i got "SO?, I"LL STILL BEAT YA" those were the ones i just had to walk away from..considering these were mainly ricers with bolt ons and nothing else. I can't wait for that first ricer that tries to play when i have my spray... my purge setup is gonna come out right by wher my mirror mount and shoot out at like a 45 degree angle.

NOS permit???

I forget what yr. it is, but my boss Has the Ninja ZX12 R. Its the one right b4 they made it suck. Its that Jollyrancher green color. He got it as left over. He was sayin today that there is only like one or two other than he registered in the state. Anyway. He has full Muzzy exhaust on it, K&N filter, and so computer program on it that chaqnges like everything. The bike is insane. He says he gets like 85 mph out of 1st with out redlining. Picture a 275 lbs. guy on the bike on the gas tank at 150 mph. and kicks it down and the front wheel jumped of the ground about 4 feet.
Once i saw that, I want that bike. But being only like 126 lbs. I'd die.
NOS permit???
yes, in nj to actually be allowed to purchase and use nitrous at tracks you need a permit, i dont know if its heavily enforced everywhere but ive heard dragstrips will require it if they see you have it. On the street, cops may never know what cars have it so they wont go crazy with checking permits, but since i have a big and the bottle will be hanging right off my tailfairing, itll be obvious so i expect to get stopped for it and if its off, and i have the permit, theres nothign they can say about it.

i thought there was a law in NJ that you couldnt have it hooked up or something driving on the street :shrug:

from what ive found out the bottle just has to be shut off, hence the reason why remote bottle openers are supposedly illegal only. but on a bike, its pretty easy just to reach back. anyways, once i get it all installed, the first few weeks, ill just ride around with an empty bottle in case i get stopped by an ******* cop. even after that, if i get stopped just for having it, but i have a permit, and with the cops i know, i doubt anything will happen(as long as i'm not pulled over for using it)

great.. where do you get it and how much?

i had to get mine at my local pd....you also have to be 19 years old

So that means if I wanted to I get get one huh? Interesting
im 25 so that shouldn't be a problem, i guess ill ask a few local cops to see in my pd has the permits.
it matters for our resident nursery schooler that postwhores/hijacks every thread
