he left out the part where he needs a good driver jk mang

 

I assumed I would have to do the driving for them in some cases.

Headers are required too and everyone knows that expense.

 

yup because 3rd gear hates me

 

What was the time of the Del Sol?

 

BTW, you're auto right?

 

The Del Sol gave up after missing gears. His 60' was better than mine and so was his 1/8th mile E.T.

No whimp shift for me.

 

Nice 13.1 slip!

WTF did the Mustang that was in the other lane run tho??? That thing was flew and sounded like a bat outta hell!

 

IIRC he ran 9.8xx @ 135

I obviously didn't want to run beside him.

 

don't tease me.

 

The downloads that SR20den provided won't play for me, I tried to open them up under every player I have.

They opened under the DivX but there was a picture with sound but nothing moving on the screen.

 

Use Winamp to open those videos... that will work.

 

Damn son...

I must figure out what the hell you did with your UIM/LIM...

 

wow... those are some sick time and traps. I need an extra .5 liter

 

Hey Matt, try to break 12's again, NA

 

Im drawing up the plans now. I think that if I focus on the suspension and weight of the car it can be done because there probably isn't much power left to be squeezed out without making a sheet metal IM or getting cams.

 

24" slicks = 12's I guarantee it

 

M&H makes a 24.5 x 8.5 and a 24x9.2

 

wow.. sweet times...

thats one fast N/A 4-door

 

Matt and Matt own all at track !

 

GREAT job Matt!!! And the conditions weren't even quite perfect. I figured the air density elevation equivalent was 250 feet above sea level. That's not bad considering Rockingham dragway is 375 feet above sea level.

Now if you happened to race on a night that was mid 40s with the same humidity and barometric pressure, then the air density equivalent will be around 900 feet BELOW sea level. That's 2 tenths you can shave just due to weather.

I ran 14.83 in Fayetteville with 500 feet below sea level air density. In Vegas and California, you will never see those kind of cold track conditions. The best I've seen personally, on the west coast was 500 feet above sea level air density and that was Carlsbad, CA a couple months ago.

The best I've seen in Vegas is 2000 feet above sea level and that only happens in mid 40 degree weather.

Once again, AWESOME job Matt. You too Matt. Yall keep it up. Oh yeah, Jon, you've got your work cut out for you to keep up with these guys.

 

There must be something about that name that makes you go fast. I'm changing my name to Matt.

 

that's actually really funny.

I love people who get angered easily, makes my job that much easier.


by the way, it's "Honda".

ps. good times, just put the AC back in and the other stuff... I'm more curious what the car would run as full weight.

 

Overall Im not angered easily. But everyone has something that pulls the pin from their grenade and I merely gave an example of mine.

 

go to the damn humblemaker already

 

So are you going to tell the secret or sell it?? lets hear it man!!!!

 

Uh, yeah.... not sure how I wasn't aware of this thread. Max2000JP told me about it on the phone tonight. 107.33 is just retarded. What was your race weight?

 

I believe it was around 3250-3280 with him in the car

 

How much lighter than stock is that?

 

approx 200lbs lighter that it would be with him in it with full interior. Give or take 10lbs. If you have an e-mail addy which Im sure you do I can e-mail you the weight tests we did at his work with four corner scales.

 

Those are some kick *** times man! I love the 13.3 video of the Honda Del Sol or what ever it was was missing 3rd gear and then the dumb **** couldn't even find 4th gear. That was priceless! Good work bro.

just out of curiosity...what times do you think you can get if you replace your hood and trunk with CF and gets CF fenders and the whole deal....

 

Finally, saw them....1.6MB/sec.

Anyways, what time did the 350z RIGHT AFTER your Del Sol 13.3 run do?

That's your yard stick to BEAT OVER NON-BELIEVERS heads.

 

best I saw the 350z do was a 14.2@101. He had an intake but that was all.

 

Listen Blu I am going to the track tomorrow and if I don't get times close to yours I am coming after you. I have copied all the stuff you did so it better go fast like your factory freak.

 

hmm, very little.

hood = very very minor/minute gain. you'd see better times from running on a 70 degree day vs 80 degree day.

trunk = if it's a spoilerless CF trunk, then this would be a slightly better gain, but, still minor

fenders = little.

think about it this way.

hood weighs what, 10lbs? CF hood weighs maybe 4lbs?
CF trunk may be a 6lb difference, fenders, 1.5lbs for both.

11lbs in a 3280lb car is a whopping .3%. a THIRD of a percentage point... that's not going to mean anything, unless he's really trying to reduce his ET by thousandths. He MAY gain a MPH. running two gallons of gas (12lbs) vs. a full tank (90lbs).

people only buy CF hoods for the bling factor... as the weight savings is soooooooo minor.

 

Oh yeah. I now own the street tire record too.

SR...you'd better start TALKING soon~!

 

i was under the impression that the hood was more close to 30-35lbs. i thought the carbon fiber was around 15-20 which is about the same weight reduction as hotshot headers.

 

let me know what you run
