Lil boy in a SHO with a big mouth......

Re: Lil boy in a SHO with a big mouth......

Not too bad, I got a set of drag radials mounted up last month to try and better my best ET but it didn't happen . At least I 60 footed 1.6 vs 1.7 on my old worn out BFGoodrich TA's . I am going back to the track next week to try again. Hopefully with cooler air, better traction (track permitting of course ) and a little more tweaking a low 12 pass will happen. I would love to be able to say that I ran a low 12 with stock turbo and no alky...

Awesome! Good luck! AWD really helps with the quarter mile times. I'm more into road courses, so the FWD with a Quaife is actually very fun.

My brother ordered a TON of stuff from Joshua Teixeira @shonutperformance. With his son's help, he was going to fix up his black 93 and give it to him. However, that fell through and he is going to sell it to his bud/coworker now. If I had the extra moolah laying around, I would buy it. His '94 opal frost is pretty sweet (for a non black car that is :lol. That's his baby now and rightly so as it is in much better shape than the 93 is. He's going to get the intake extrude honed and upgrade to a bigger throttle body in the near future. The intake is going to get powdercoated as well.

Josh is a good guy. I deal with him on a regular basis and sometimes take the load off of him when it comes to helping people tune their cars. I also set up a group buy through him for the T-trim superchargers. If your brother is looking to EH and PC his intake... talk to me. I've set up 3 group buys with EH and I'm sure I can get him a great deal. For PC, I also know how to get him a good deal on that.

For those who aren't very familiar with what a SHO is capable of from a dig AWD owns (no surprise). However from a roll if you're still running stock turbo, you very well might get a good look at the back of a taurus :lol:.

Especially one that pulls away from C6 Vettes and Ferrari 360 Modenas

We actually have 4 SC SHO's in Denver now. One is a dedicated track car that has a built 3.2L motor and 17 PSI of boost. It's made 520whp with crappy tuning. When we convince the owner to upgrade to the T-trim, he'll probably up the boost to 21 PSI. At PPIR, he passed a turbocharged Cobra R on the straights while his belt was slipping at only 12 PSI. In the turns, the R had no chance!

At this point, it's just s friendly race between some locals.

Sounds like fun and I'd liek to be there. Post a vid for sure. I know SyTy's are quick for what they are but there are other quick vehicles out there as well. I personally think a Lightning or a SRT-10 will give a SyTy a run for their money from a roll but others on the board have attested otherwise. I been around the block a time or two so I know what they can do. It's nice to cross paths with people with something different that is fast and level headed about it. I still keep tabs with my Porsche clan. 911T's are fast but they will get smoked from a dig (weak clutch) but from a roll....well, you know what'll happen. I should have raced Jimmy prior to selling mine just to test his resolve but cars are all nice in their own way. Take care and have fun going fast!

Re: Lil boy in a SHO with a big mouth......

Hey JAZ, If you reqally want to have a good time doing this stuff, why dont you all come down here as we have a sweet car scenee here. You cant lie and tell me denver does cause Ive looked and they have crap up there. You would have a blast down here trust me. You jsut have to come on the right night. Thursdays and Fridays are usually best. It all jsut dependes. But ewither way there are more here than there and you could get more races in as well. We have a few sweet spots to race at too. We have places where all the car guys sowrm around each others vehicles and gawk and talk cars. Let me know. I feel like I am always going to Denver, wish someone would coem here.

Re: Lil boy in a SHO with a big mouth......

Don't SHO's weigh just as much as the Typhoons?

I remember when I had a Spirit R/T, the SHO's were no match (stock for stock)

This is a good match for PINKS. Whatdya say ??

If its stock for stock Ild say hellya. Hes got an ass load of mods it sounds and Im willing to run him stock. Im sure hell take me down but I dont care. If you look through this section youll see Ive raced a Ferrari, all the LS1 cars, and some other crap. Im so bored Ive resorted to picking on crotch rockets. I always lose but it takes em a bit to get by (3-4 secs). Its all fun in games. Actually, I think Ild be down for PINKS. That would make a great show. Only problem is that I dont own my truck yet.

I've considered it many times, but I don't know too many people out there. I know a guy out there with a turbo Contour SVT and a guy who used to be an engineer at Ford. This coming Sunday, I'll be up in Fort Collins with the CSU Car Club on a canyon cruise. I went on two of them last year and it is a blast. Next weekend, I was invited by Discount Tire to represent them at Street Tuner Mayhem at Bandimere. Let me know when there will be a good time to check it out down there. I don't mind hanging out with a bunch of you guys!

I'm sitting around 3,300 pounds... I don't know what you guys weigh.

As far as the Spirit R/T... I've heard it go both ways.

I don't care what I race, I'm not willing to race for pink slips. I've got too much of my time and money in this car. As far as the launch, I've gotten pretty good for what the car will do. You'll jump me on the launch, but I've reeled in a new supercharged Rousch Mustang after the launch (started to anyway, I don't feel comfortable doing more than 70mph in a 40mph zone). This Mustang was damn fast too. It would be a close race on the freeway. I've also had some races with crotch rockets... I have hung even from 60-110mph with a CBR 600. I know the owner very well too, he's a Lightning owner... A nice Lightning at that.

I cant say there are any SHO's on the road down here that can give you a good run but plenty of others. Me for one...hahaha....Ive been surprised at soem of the cars IVe beaten. And lsot to. At any rate, lets get this thing goin already.
