I know! But at least then everybody on the board would just be ROTFL whenever he posts how good his car is and he could have this thread all by himself ...

Quote: I think he was being sarcastic too!! Did you run the SS Mike? If you don't believe he could run that E.T. R4C, you had better think again. I'm not doubting he could run those times with his mods, actually, I have no idea what kind of numbers (ET. and hp) those mods put out, someone care to enlighten moi?

Of course bruce can beat me on the autobahn, my car has three bolt-on mods  I think bruce has a "little" more than that. If you'll read back to the beggining, you'll notice I didn't start all this, I made a comment to bruce and everybody went hog-wild, hahaha (you believ that don't you?  .....I WILL RUN BRUCE ON THE AUTOBAHN AS SOON I GET THE LARGER TURBO, INJECTORS, MAS, AND ECU UPGRADE ON THE CAR!!!....until then, the rest of you pee-ons are welcome to try me so I can stomp yall while I decide which turbo to upgrade to! hahahaha

It is easy to move the govoner on a LS1 up to 184 MPH Via hypertech =270.4 that speed can be reached with air box filter pullies and driver

Quote: It is easy to move the govoner on a LS1 up to 184 MPH Via hypertech =270.4 that speed can be reached with air box filter pullies and driver Yeah surrrreee! you need more than 400hp to push a 3500lb. car to 184mph with the stock gearing and aerodynamics of any LS-1 (that's my guess anywayz)....not to mention, it would take 2 days to reach that speed anywayz. ALL the LS-1's I've ran on the highway basically struggle to pull above 120mph, they get pulled hard above that speed, and that includes C5's. And this is not theory, this is what I've found from actually running these cars (3 C5's and 5 f-bodies).

Quote: you obviously fell!  hahaha...but you still cool.
Thanks, like to be cool  but I did not fall on my head... always got a broken collar-bone (which I usually ignore)
So if I win or loose against you - lets say with the Stock Corolla Liftback with only 74hp - do I have the better car then?
Consider the relation of the weight and the hp.
The Wheels I put on do additionally slow the car down, take that in consideration, it is more set up for curvey country roads.

I think you don't know one thing ... heck, my V6 just starts running nicely at the rpms @120 ...

I call BS on all this crap. My car pulled in 5th gear up to redline, which goes beyond the 150 mph speedo. Yup this was when I first got here, in a 97 LT1 with only shorty headers ($350) and pulleys ($120). Yeah it is a WS6 so it is rated at 305 hp from the factory.

He is so full of $hit that it's not even funny. He has obviously never raced any LS1s on the highway. He might have thought he was racing when he perhaps passed them.
If you don't think LS1s pull above 120mph, you are sadly mistaken sir. You are going to learn the hard way pretty soon, so if I were you, I'd really stop talking the BS and really work on the modifications. You are so full of yourself and your import. The LS1 wakes up at 4500 rpms, so unless those supposed guys you raced were complete and utter morons, they were NOT racing you.. I kept with a Ferrari 512 on the autobahn up to 150 in stock form, so don't tell me your 200 will walk an LS1.. It might not have been the smartest thing to do at the time, but it was fun nonetheless. You might think we're not doing our homework, but it appears that you aren't either!

Quote: Ah, we're back on the 300ZX now are we....which in your modified form is quicker than my stock LS1 time. See, not so hard to admit that someone else's car is faster is it? But then a used stock 300ZX TT costs the same or more than a used LS1 and a stock one is slower so the point would be...? I'll also believe what I read in a Japanese Performance magazine every single time since they do these tests to sell magazines and I doubt any of the cars tested were set up for drag racing (what does that mean anyway...does anyone really set their car up for drag racing?). Unlike you, they have to stick with facts. You came on this board to "stir things up" and all you've achieved is getting stirred up yourself. Looks like you're the idiot.
You are wrong on all counts...#1, my 300zxtt is faster than your LS-1 with all the mods in your sig, #2, I paid 12G's for my 300zx 4 years ago...sure a LS-1 will be faster than a 300zxtt stock vs. stock...300hp vs. 345, cars are about the same weight, LS-1 has the torque advantage stock, does it take a rocket scientist to figure that out...my point, mod for mod, you get your azz kicked!

I know a corolla is lighter, but your weight advantage won't make up for the power difference between the two. I would run you on a road course too....the run from wherever you were talking about would be pointless, I drive my car 3 hours twice weekely at 150kmh average, it's been very reliable so far

NOOOOOO!...I said they struggle pulling above 120mph...now, yall can argue whatever you want, I've ran and beat what I said, and to top that off, there have been LS-1 owners on LS!.com to admitt the cars don't accelerate hard above 120mph....so go argue with them....I'm sorry, but the LT-1's I've raced were not even close enough for me to tell what they were doing by the time I hit 120mph. Like I said before, any of you can feel free to call me out in my lowly 200sx for a bahn run...matter of fact, tomorrow evening (friday) I will be traveling from schweinfurt to bad krueznach in the 'ol 200sx....any of you gonna be near A7 or A3 that wants a piece? I'll be more than happy to turn someone's smile upside down!

To us, pulling means not struggling!
R4C, do you have N2O? I saw in a post earlier about how you talked with a lady at NX. Do you?

I know. He talks about all these people from other boards, and these races we've never seen. Personally, I like to post here about stuff that actually happens.. I never doubted any of his non-fbody kills, but when he starts saying crap that doesn't add up, I get defensive..
