orange SS claimed 450 hp to the wheels

[boosted99si]

this guy that i've seen locally for a while with a really loud orange SS camaro say 00 or newer.....this is about a month ago by the way he's at a local gas station and i ride past kinda notice him and pull a U turn pull him and talk to him for a bit he's claiming 450 to the wheels im thinking what am i doing he'll murder me in a race so i act like my phone vibrates and say excuse me and make up a fake conversation cause im a loser but then a week later at the local dragstrip i see him run against a lightning with n2o and he got beat and only ran a 7.9 with slicks.....can you believe that the guy was bluffing me/ BSing me and ran about the same time as mine can with me on streets and spinning none the less i am now wanting to see this guy again and run him cause i think i could atleast give him a run for his money

 

[Defknotzero]

you run 7's?

 

[boosted99si]

cai,magnaflow cat, 2.8 pulley

my friend ran an 8.1 at 88 mph that was his best and we have about the same mods just his is convertible....i really need to run mine it would help me out on here cause i know ppl question stuff and im not really sure on numbers but i wish i ran 7's if you can what are stock 1/8's in stage 3 roush hard tops

 

[boosted99si]

or am i wrong and this guy can run a 7.9 with whatever HP he did have..........could have left me like it was nothing?

 

[03yllwguy]

7.9 is plausible with that hp if his launch was sh*ty. I wouldn't underestimate him just on his time, what was his mph?

 

[boosted99si]

honestly i dont even remember that sorry......it was actually pretty high i do remember that

 

[Defknotzero]

Ok.. what are you 1/4 mile times.. not 1/8 times...

 

[Stopsign32v]

Dude stop bench racing. You COULD NOT make your Roush run 7.9 on street tires. Only in your wildest dreams.

I'm sure he forgot to mention this was on a 1/8th track.

I'm not sure what kind of hp numbers the Stage 3s put out, but I'd say a lightly modded one would be mid-high 300s at the wheels. That's more than enough power to run a 7.9 IMO. I know fairly light modded Machs can pull high 7s which is roughly mid-high 12s in the 1/4 and a lightly modded Mach only has around 300rwhp....give or take a few. This is just my opinion though and I'm no expert. :beer:

BTW.....Hugger Orange SS's were only made in 98 and 99. I love Hugger Orange SS's. I was planning on getting one, but then the Machs came out and then when the Cobra came in Competition Orange, I had to have one, so I traded my Mach in. :banana:

I'm sure he forgot to mention he has never had his car on the track also.

 

[boosted99si]

i never once said my car could run a 7.9 on streets i was talking about the SS so there ya go stopsign and you act like i said those were my times those are my friends time and i have similar mods done to my car maybe if you all would read this information it would be easier but to sublime thanks for the support and sry about the mistake on the SS wasnt aware of that information but learn somethin new everyday...sorry if in the first post i stated as the same as mine i was figuratively speaking taking a guess on what it should run compared to other stage 3's

didnt meant to confuse anybody or seem like i was BSing

yeah he could. I run 8.30s in the 1/8th on nittos with only 298rwhp. He is probably in the 350rwhp range he could easily run in the 7s with a good launch.

I have yet to see a stock Stage 3 in the 350rwhp range. I haven't heard any mods from him so I am assuming that he is stock.

and only ran a 7.9 with slicks.....can you believe that the guy was bluffing me/ BSing me and ran about the same time as mine can with me on streets and spinning none the less

:rollseyes :nonono:

7.9's are low low 12's.

You need to read his post again. oke:

...week later at the local dragstrip i see him run against a lightning with n2o and he got beat and only ran a 7.9 with slicks....

Ahhh.....I stand corrected. Thank ya. :coolman:

 

[Almo]

Ahhh.....I stand corrected. Thank ya. :coolman:

Easy way to do it but it will not be in stone, will be fairly close but a little different pending a NA or SC'ed car though... Multiply the 8th mile ET by 1.54.

Cheers

Good Ole Tennessee. :rockon:
