ok.. just wanted to share how my IS compares against other ones.. with different set-ups.. well, as most of you already know, i have the srt and hiper combo.. cruznis300 has the rmm intake/exhaust, but is weighed down by a custom stereo system.. compared to him.. im about 1/2 a second faster in the quarter mile..timeslips to prove it.. 1/2 a second is equivalent to about 4 or 5 carlengths..
another friend of mine (whose name i wont mention) has the 5zigen exhaust and srt combo.. i didn't race him at the track but on the street.. i dont know how many carlengths i beat him by...but it was definitely a kill.. sorry bro.. i dont know why I pull on him so hard..maybe its the exhaust, maybe its his driving, maybe its the way he broke the car in..regardless, me and cruzn's setups are both faster.. cruzn was barely pullin on him... more like walking him... i would guestimate that after a 1/4 mile, cruzn would have won by a carlength and a half.... and i dont really think it could be his driving...we all have automatics and we all raced in drive mode.. just to make sure there weren't any mistakes made... thats all for that topic..
i stated in a few posts back that i thought my car could run mid 14s... well, i couldn't get those times.. my best was a 15.2.. although i still think my car is quicker than that...i think alot of it has to do with the track and having an automatic transmission... but then again, i could be wrong.. my friend with the gsr ran a 14.8, and all tonight..i was beating him in every gear... taking him off the launch, and maintaining the lead until we would decide to slow down... i also took a few mustangs this weekend.. a fixed up subaru, stuck with a supercharged civic, stuck with a civic hatchback w/ a gsr motor... and so on..
yall that live in new england... you guys need to come check out the PIKE... its getting NUTS out here... i mean absolutely CRAZY!!! there were fixed up rides at every stoplight for 3 miles on both sides... there were hot rods, imports, domestics, lots of bikes... even some girl racers.. and some of them were hot..
cruzn..remember those girls that got out of the red celica at Roys.. OMG.. that one girl was FLY!!!
