This post cracks me up:
I think Jeremy was running in the high 7's stock in the 1/8th around here.
I'm betting the order goes somewhere in the Syclone, RX7, Supra range myself. Depending on how well the two cars hook. Having ridden in an example of all 3, thats my best guess. If it was 1/4 you might have a different outcome.

Re: Looking for tips
Well, we are all 30 somethings, and i do have a clue. I have been building RX7s for about 10 yrs now. The car that im running right now is a car i put together last week. And it runs well with only a downpipe, midpipe, and cat-back.I was at the track saturday, and i was running 8.40s at 84 mph, and my 60' time was 1.78. This is most definitely not the fastest RX7 ive ever built. I put this thing together to sell. My personal car on the other hand(which i am currently building) Is going to have a half bridge port engine with 3mm seals, and a Greddy T78 turbo, with all supporting mods. I am being conservative when i say that it should put down 450rwhp.
And you do know that some BPU supras run in the high 7s right?
This by no means is a serious race. Were just doing it to have a good time.

Re: Looking for tips
All the cars sound like they are pretty even. High 7's low 8's depending on driver/conditions/etc......
I think in the end the nod still goes to the Syclone. It's the least finicky when it comes to driving. Get the launch right, and the rest is point and shoot
All in all it's good to see some friendly rivalry!

Re: Looking for tips
Its funny also how some of the people on that site think the Sy is absolutly no match "it wont stand a chance" and "it wont hit low 8's". Maybe if they spent a little time and did a little reseach in our timeslip page they wont realize how ignorant they sound. I mean you scroll down the page of stockish truck and it's nothing but consistancy. I bet he can push that truck to a low 8 pass and all that it will depend on is how much boost he wants to leave with and what quick tips we gave him he is able to get done. Then all he has to worry about is if the other 2 screw up the launch or not, you got to love Turbocharged, Automatic's, with All Wheel Drive!!

Re: Looking for tips
both the 7 and supra are manual tranny cars. I definitely have the advantage, only because i have lots of drag racing experience. I most definitely think Jason could be in the low 8s if he can "control his ride". But we will see! I have driven Jasons SY for several days this month, and put it through its paces. The difference between the Sy and the 7 is, when you get on the cyclone, you know that its not gonna blow up, but with the 7, you always run the risk of grenading your engine.

All I can say is if I don't put on a good show I will never hear the end of it.

Call it a "Cylone" again and I will piss in your gas tank before the race.

Re: Looking for tips
The results are in and the winner was
The RX7 won by a pubic hair.
Sorry I let all the SY/TY guys down.
Best Run:------------ RX7--------Syclone--------Supra
60' -----------------------1.981--------1.846-----------Don't ask
ET-------------------------8.342--------8.396-----------8.6 ish
MPH----------------------84.537-------80.772--------- 89 ish
Scott (RX7) was runnning 8.4-8.5 all night until his last pass- his big smokey burnout sealed it.
Supra guy could not get his car to grip or he would have made both of us look silly. (65* temp outside)
My last 3 runs were with in 2/10 of a second and 4/10 of a MPH of each other.
Scott had the best time of the night.
I had the best 60' @ 1.810
Supra guy had the highest MPH at 89. ?
Thankfully nobody broke anything.
I appreciate all the tips.
It has been decided we are going for a triathalon. 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile, and a road course.
I already know how the 1/4 will end up, but Supra took his licks on the short track, I have to take mine on the long.

Re: Looking for tips
1.8?? 60'? gotta work on that launch. See mods below, my best 60' this year will be 1.76. Normally I am NOT that good. However anything under 1.8 brings a smile. It can be done just don't ask me.:rotf: Mostly luck...
Sounds like yur having fun, that's the best part.
