I guess my point was that people were pretty touchy about the fact that he *thinks* he will run 12s.
Who all is in favor of 13.99 or quicker track days?????

Yeah, I guess you are right. People said I was flat out lying when I told them that my 99 ran 12s....and it actually did run 12s.

Dude you are totally missing the point. I never said they should outlaw slower cars lol. I meant give the quicker cars a few days to themselves throughout the season.
They give the ricers their own days so why not add a few days for the faster cars. No biggie in my book.
Not sure how this got turned into an EVO thread hijack.

I know dude, I was just messin with ya!! I am only .8 seconds away from that mark. I just need a better reaction time and then I would be even closer to that 13.99
Oh yeah, how did Evo's get brought up!!

FYI, reaction time has nothing to do with your ET.

I came to this board cus I hang out with all the Mustang guys at BM every Sat night, not to start some flaming war of stangs vs imports or what not.Darkness said:
believe what you want, i can show you dynos or you can talk to your fellow stangers that know me, heck i even have time slips and a video of me running 13.6 last year when my car had 250 whp and was bone stock except for a cat-back. but i think that is beside the point. you already have decided for me what can or cant be done with that statement.

If he's pushing 317 hp with a weight of 3200 lbs, he'll easily be into the 12's if he gets traction. And since the Mustang dynos lowball the numbers by 10-15%, I'd bet that he's making a tad more than 317 at the pavement.
Good luck to you. When you make it to the track, please post your times.

I think this is where you went wrong brother.
There is a code of ethics in drag racing. Never say your car does something it has not. You can say I hope it will run 12s or you can say it should run 12s but never say it runs 12s if you haven't done the deed..

Not true. The newer Mustang dynos support accelerometer mode, which is just like a Dynojet. So unless it was set up in loaded mode, the "Mustang dyno is 10% less than Dynojet" argument is no longer valid. Besides, if you didn't catch it from my earlier post -- Matrix Engineering measured my horsepower at 309 to the wheels, with 325 foot-pounds of torque. I've been to a Dynojet twice since that time, and the best I've seen is 279 rwhp and 315 rwtq. So if anything, Matrix's dyno numbers are inflated from what Mustang owners are familiar with.Fawkes said:
Edit: I removed my huge signature this afternoon, which had my dyno numbers in it, so maybe you didn't catch my point after all...

I'd go one step further. Don't even hint that it can do anything more than you have the slips to prove. At least, not around here. I'd bet Bob Cosby (my own personal drag racing hero468LC said:I think this is where you went wrong brother.

) could touch 11's with my car... but I'll be happy to see 12's some day. With 105 traps, it's possible, but I'd hate to suggest it'll ever happen, 'cause I'm gonna get slapped down for such blasphemy... 
Dave
lol dave, the Bobinator Cosby could probably drive my car right to the 10.90s but it will probably take me a year to get there lol. Or I'll need more power.

12's at 105-106 is very doable. One of my first full passes with the turbo on the cobra was a 12.9X @106ish.
maybe you can talk Will into letting you barrow the slicks for a shot later this year and put all those doubts to rest Dave.

as far as Dave borrowing slicks, he knows there are some available any time he asks
I htink that he is a little timid about putting 280 rwhp into a T5... but a little work rumor says that he has another one ready as a backup

Yeah yeah. This T5 I have now is proving pretty weak, it keeps making banging sounds when I drop it hard into third, and it gets a little louder in 3rd each timeVisceral said:I htink that he is a little timid about putting 280 rwhp into a T5... but a little work rumor says that he has another one ready as a backup
. I might put some traction on this summer, but there won't be any 6000 RPM clutch dumps until I get the TKO600. I just want to get some stuff paid off before I open up the great big money pit known as my car and start dumping money into it again...

OK, I will take that statement back. I didnt think it was that much of a reach since most Evos with the same level of mods with Vishnu tuning are doing mid to high 12s consistently. I will make sure to post my progress into making it there. My original intent in this thread was to say that drag can be enjoyed by everyone, not just the elite. Saying that you have to be sub 13.99 to participate is like going bowling with your buddies and finding out you can't get a lane cus you don't average 150 per game.468LC said:I think this is where you went wrong brother.

And yes, I do make fun of fart cans, underbody neon kits and bleacher seat wings on 115 hp cars. I came here not to flame but because I enjoy hanging out with all the stangers at BM and I read this forum to expand my horizons. Ego was left at the door and I will take constructive criticisms but please keep the pointless bashing to a minimum.
