The times should be confirmed times, so that we don't have this problem of people not believing posted times.

Maybe a thread can be started to compile the numbers, from reputable members of course, and then a quick 1 post summary can be made into a sticky. How about that? I'd be willing to contribute to finally squash the never ending questions taking up bandwidth.
jaime, no matter what who ran.. there will always be debates.. interior, spare... and so on..

BUT you make a very good point.. but this kinda has been done.

That is why we have a 1/4 mile/race forum

EVERY time is there, can every time be proven 100% NO.. but like you stated earlier.. when those that do show it to people it tends to carry weight.. and those that NEVER show people tend to be taken lightly

and when someone that just got on the site 6 months ago calls someone a liar about the time.. just because THAT person has not seen the video/slip .. who cares.. that is not the reason we do this.

but my 2 cents and stealing a line from clee IBESLOW

yeah but it's not the same one that he ran 12s in, i bought a few of the mods from his old car, this 99 he is talking about is a stock GXE, the Supra is Sentra is

he told me he blew the motor on the 99 but he ran like 12.4 with it and was amazed at how strong the VQ is, said he could have gone even lower..

It would be fun to see some 11s

IIRC, he forgot to put the fuse into the boost'r fuel pump and cracked a piston later on down the road.

Maybe I misunderstood him
Yeah, he said something about running on a stock fuel pump and blowing something, (i thought he said motor) and mentioned it being a lease and having to strip everything off it and bring it back to the dealer to get whatever it was, (thought it was the motor) fixed under warranty.
i thought he said 12.4 though, my bad.

yea, there we go, something like that.. he said he was messing with his stereo and forgot the fuse thing..
i got the impression he returned the car though since it was a lease, or sold it.. unless he completely returned it to stock, i'm talkin hub caps and amber turn signals stock



back to the topic,
i really believe Don if he said he ran 12.2.. same with Phil, James, etc... They have been around for a while and people know them, i don't think they'd bullsh!t about their times..

Did he have SC/Turbo? It doesnt say that he did, but I cant see how he could do that unless he had like a 150 shot of nos.

If you have a time post it and the timeslip in the appropriate forum and cut the verbal diarrhea.
No one is jealous of anything just sick of hearing some people BS and not backing it up.

For a bunch of guys that drive fwd sedans, you sure do get heated when it comes to these 1/4 mile discussions. The picture in my head is Vin Diesel, loading groceries into his maxima, telling some single-mom wheeling her cart out by him "Hey, you know....I live my life one quarter mile at a time..."

hehe, j/k. Some of you guys just get so sucked into these discussions, I thought I'd lighten it up a bit

That was my point. Timeslips and videos aren't the end all and be all of proof. I believe Don ran a 12.2 ... some people don't. There is always going to be debate and just because there isn't a timeslip or video, doesn't mean it didn't happen.



Some people just aren't satisfied no matter what.

yeah your right...I just like mixing things up a bit... it really makes no diff to me if don did or not.. I hope he did and I hope someone else does..

it helps the entire community more when people do extraordinary things


and IF don did not, not saying he did not, he helped PUSH people to see what the car was capable of... so either way, there was good that came out in the end

Do you guys think it was the VB mod that helped or could Don have been faster as a 5speed?

the vb mod definately helped. also the VLSD off the I30, the drags, i believe he had a tc. debates been up, so far i've haven't seen anybody "claim" faster times, auto or manual. but i think that he probably could have gotten 12.0 with a stick.

You never know though because he could have had a 12.2 time in the auto cant drive a stick for crap and get 13's or whatever. Not saying he cant drive a stick but just saying with a 5 speed it has more variables. Auto would be maybe more consistant, which is why he chose it.

i just get a perverse thrill about getting under peoples skin over things. just to see how far i can go with it
its nothing personal to anyone. everyone has their beliefs and disbeliefs about things. not everyone agrees on things. so on and so forth.

opinions vary
people are different

i know my opinion and what i believe is true
others do not see the same point of view
hence why we have 12 second maxima's, not mustangs

I took a left turn today to got onto the highway but I don't have a video of it. Does this mean I didn't take a left turn? Please.

I don't think Don has anything to lie about. Russ has seen the car run at the track and I remember him coming hear riding Don's sac saying that "Don has the fastest Max." This was 2 summers ago. Don is the type of person that wouldn't give out many of his secrets anyway because of all of the leeches around here. Even in that poor vid that some of us have, the car was hauling a$$. Point being nobody can prove he didn't run what he said he did, plus he was running small a$$ 15's on slicks. Russ has those pics and posted them hear.

Just too bad we couldn't get him to respond to the people he has ripped off. I would like to see the video of that. Reaction time isn't too good either.
