- Thread starter coleman
- Start date
sorry I missed out. I came down with a nasty cold. I won't be able to make it tomorrow to the gtg
whaaaa whaaaa whaaaa can we get you some frenchcries to go with that whaaburger? :nonono:
Well just got home from the track and let me tell you I wont be getting a kenne bell after the damage I did to poor Coleman. Me and Coleman ran about 7 times and he only beat me once lol. The worse thing is I'm stock minus air filter and mufflers. I was trapping 111 mph with a best run of 13.0
Oh and who is in for the car show today at 3 in addison it's the same one we went to last time at the other pizza place.
:cryying:
<--- someone needs to learn how to drive!
i'm really sort of glad there was only a few there to see my repeated :bash:ings by redaddiction...
i want to race you from a roll & see who wins.
my car seems more powerful after leaving Doug Stanley Ford -- i had them check for exhaust leaks again
... they found the manifold was properly resting on the coupler.
time for another dyno :thumbsup: before the dreaded exhaust leak fairy pays me another visit.
the car drives completely different ... i could NOT get any traction in first & hence second because of the torque. :cryying:
i ran numerous times against redaddiction & only beat him the first time. sounds like his fan & intercooler MODs helped out, but i *should* have been able to beat him every single time ... oh well, back to auto-X & open track racing -- which was a blast!
my best 60' was 2.2+ :xpl:
my best mph was 115 :bash:
could my clutch be so good that my tires now just spin?
... i need excuses here people :lol:

It ws good meeting you Coleman, sorry i left so early, was VERY tired. Cant' believe Marc got your ass, time for drag radials?
Trapping only 115? I have the slip here for 12.9 at 111 in his stock car. I'll show you it today at the lunch.

Coleman if you want to run from a 40 after lunch we can all go out to a little spot I know about. Dont worry one day you will learn to drive hehe and coleman almost got a 3.0 60 ft. lol
Coleman - with your HP numbers - you should be trapping close to 120. It sounds like your problem may be slow shifting (besides the obvious 2.2 short times...) I would suggest learning to speed shift that dog or a close power shift (let off the gas just a touch during shifts to keep boost dump from occurring). The only other thing I could see if you weren't missing gears or hitting the rev limiter would be shifting way to soon...
Yes, but you have to remember Coleman can't drive.....
:lol:
i ran so many times last night -- which was cool :thumbsup: -- that i probably did everything wrong at least once...
twice i shifted into second from third :kaboom: trapped right @ 100 when i did that...
i'm trying to fight my tendancy to completely let off during shifts.
oh, i lost one of my hood vents during one pass at the top of third :lol1:
now i know what too much HP means ... it'll be very hard to baby the throttle cuz the SC kicks in only under load & then quickly -- almost all or nothing if i don't have 500 RWHP, i've got ~250 RWHP w/o boost -- guessing
i think my car should have been pulling harder on the big end, but my trap of 115 is far from what i expected -- 120 at least
oh well, i had a blast & ran no less than 10 times with #s ranging from 13.2 to ... :bash:
i was getting better 60' w/ the exhaust leak(s) :lol1:
less power, easier to launch... i need to find a 1/8-mile track to practice my take-offs

SaleenCobra/redaddiction, i really want to try a few rolling starts against you guys to gauge expectations. one (read me) would think that 150 extra RWHP would translate into huge differences, but maybe not... :cryying:
lol That would be nice. Was the track not crowded last?
Man whish you could have been here with us today. We had a blast along 360. I got some video and soon as I figure out how to use the software I will post it.
P.S from a 40 punch I coleman beat me by a bumper and I beat him by a bumper. INTERESTING.........:??:
I whooped up on everybody today! :-D Beat SaleenCobra from a stop (due to spin), beat B.O.B.03 from a roll (missed third), beat Coleman from a dig up to about 120 - then he came SCREAMING by me. Beat redaddiction from a dig, clean run. Then beat another DSG 03 that showed up when we were about to leave OTB from a roll, clean run. Overall a GREAT time, that was one awesome place to run! Enjoyed it guys. :beer:

He was to afraid to run me from a roll after what I did to coleman.
SaleenCobra, you have 40 less HP but 10 more TQ.
At least we're in the same ballpark.
My extra HP was very disappointing :nono:
I was hoping I would walk any near stock cobra... that wasn't the case which helps explain the results from last night.
I never got a good launch, so I had little chance of catching up.
SaleenCobra, PM me if you need help w/ that video :thumbsup:
I posted my 127MB video of TMS run yesterday morning on www.CobraTerminator.com

while we wait for the video ... does anyone have any photos from the GTG? we had a good assortment of '03 cobra colors :thumbsup: bar one ricer stuck in between :xpl:
Did SaleenCobra ever send you the videos?
I don't think anyone took any more pics after the DSG one showed up. I swear, we should have picked that Eclipse up and moved it well away from our cars, it really stunk up the atomosphere! :xpl:
