Just curious as I've heard of one stock VG getting 16.7, but then I look at the threads here of guys complaining their VE's getting around the same time.

I have a 90 GXE auto with the mods listed below, do you think I could possibly break into the high 15's, or even just low 16's?

 

so far, my best is an 16.48 at 84.1, but I know I can get a 16.1 or 16.2 once the weather gets cool.

 

not a chance w/ an auto...i'd imagine you'd b lookin at get low/mid 16's depending on the condition of your car and how high the track is, etc...as 4 stock ve times, most of the peeps here i imagine have issues such as non functioning vtc's, poorly kept up cars, or they were racing at an elevated track on hot days, etc...honestly i dont really understand b/c my auto ran a 15.9 at the track stock so who knows...but i think u r dreaming on 15s here...not gonna happen in an auto w/ a couple mods

 

well...i must admit vg's r slow (hehe) but its ok for me to make fun of them cause they r always tryin to make ve owners feel bad cause of our vtc's (mine work) but....a ve will keep up or b extremely close to a vq...feel bad 4 the vg owners

 

Well to be honest I'd love to get a VE in my 3rd gen rather than my VG. I don't see what all the hostility is, the newer model Max is always faster...

Anyways thanks for the help. Looks like I'd need new cams and an ECU before 15's are a reality.

 

you dont need to drop the money for cams if you wanna hit 15s. It's been done before with y,intake, exhaust, and ECU I believe.

 

don't be so sure of yourself

 

What do you guys think a 93 gxe will run with a 75 or 100 shot of nitrous? I have a custom poor man intake, y-pipe, and a muffler right now and I have ran a best of 16.25 in the 1/4th. Im seriously considering running some Nitrous on my car by December am a little worried about the trany but not to much cause if it breaks I will be getting a new car within 6 months anyway Car has 83,000 miles.

What you guys think my car will run with good driving with a 100 shot? 15.1? high 14's? (Assuming nothing Breaks)

 

I dunno about a 100 shot, but there is a 4th gen auto running a 14.7 or so with a 70 shot. If you weren't in the 14s, I would say a 15.0-15.1. It doesn't matter though, cuz unless you reinforce your tranny, you aren't gonna be able to make a pass down the track

 

See Man I thought about that but I really dont know where to go or how to go about reinforcing my Transmission or how much that would cost?

 

Sinclair used to run 14.0 on intake and NOS alone in his VQ auto

 

WTF are you on drugs? A VE 5 speed is just as fast if not faster than a VQ 5 speed not to mention how bad it would rip up an auto VQ, and it is older???. As far as VG times, there was a guy here by the name of ride b red he had a VG 5 speed with CAI, Y, Cat, B pipe, Muffler, UDP, STS, Clutch and could only pull down a best of 16.4 his whole time owning the car, so he finally sold it.

 

That post above sounds a liiittle bit biased to me.
*looks at sig*

 

uhhhhh, if that guy could only get a 16.4, there is only four things I have to say about that.

1-your friend cant drive
2-your friend's car had somethign wrong with it
3-your friend ran in some insanely high altitude
4-your friend really can't drive

 

what's your point? he's right. A VE 5spd can run just as well as a 3.0 VQ. do a little research and you might actually learn something.

Dmontz...you're friend should have done more pulls with that car. I'd love to have a 5spd w/ my mods and then some

 

Ehhhhhh.....

I dont know what to make of all this. Tonight was my first attempt at dragracing my max. Totally Bone stock with the timing advanced maybe a click and half an interior in the car, I managed to pull a 16.30. Now I dont know how respectable that is, but I was happy with it.

60 ft: 2.360
1/8 E/T: 10.445@66.77
1/4 E/T: 16.300@83.79

 

nothing wrong w/ a 16.4 ......that's my best, VG auto, muffler, intake and UDP

 

Yeah, he had a sweet car man. He sold it and got a passat...haha...0-60 8.7 sec. but he is happy with it. He probably still searchs the org and sees us laughing...but oh well, he should of turbo'd that thing it already had everything else.
