Ok from what I know my car with a fiberglass hood weighs in at about 3000 lbs. It's a 89 notchback full interior thats stock. Now I have seen in some peoples sig that with just a few things like a exhaust, pullies, no a/c, and dr's this guy ran like a 13.6 at 101......Now I have been laughed at by my friend asking if i could hit a 13.9 with slicks. I understand that these motors are good for high 14's mostly stock but....with the help of some basic mods and some good tire arent 13's not that hard to reach?
Ok I used to have a 05 GTO I was told mid 13's....I can drive plain and simple and the car went a 12.9 @110 with just a catback and still have the slip..
This guy on here has pullies, exhaust, no a/c, and dr's and ran a 13.5 at like 101 i think his sig said with the 3.08 in the rear...Now I know that has to be awsome driver but I know for a fact I already have the drivers mod....
What I'm getting at is if I take some more weight out of my car and do the basic mods with a great launch how can i not hit 13's....I'm just tired of being put down its not that big of a deal I just want to hear it form you guys rather than my cocky friend
By the way I have only drove my car like 40 miles since I got it because of the weather here. The roads are dry but the car will not hook in first or 2nd gear from any roll, with that being said I can WOT shift into 3rd and they still spin...this is with 225 all seasons and I have 245's coming for the rear...How much improvement will I see from going from a 225 55 to a 245 50?
I would think that a 2900 lb. car with about 210 rwhp and great driving would do the job just fine. I like to compare most to the srt-4's because they have a little more whp but are front wheel drive, i have seen them hit 13.9's bone stock plenty of times..with about 230 FWHP and no traction off the hit....Does what im saying make any sense or am i just plain retarted

80's technology I like that, its true though. I know it won't be as fast as the Goat but college would not ket me keep it, I had to pay about $600 a month to keep it on the road and parts were insainely $$$$$, Long tube headers for the goat were like $1K!!!! I paid $550 for a used cat back with a bent hanger, new it cost $900!! Thats why I have a mustang now and they are easy as hell to fix/mod.
