ditto

the best part is, it already has a turbo, so you dont know what the hell hes running. sell your v6 and get a foxy and work on it, or get a used mach 1 or something. [8D]

 

or just put a turbo on your car

 

Wow, that was a lot of smoke! It has been my experience that turbo cars tend to smoke a bit under full throttle, but that is way excessive.

 

my car right now runs very rich due to a boost leak, so if im sitting in traffic, or idling a ton, when i do get on it, it spits out a ton of carbon...

 

Theres 3 talons in my town that are heavily modded and run low 6's in the 1/8. They can be modded pretty cheaply so watch out.

 

Eagle Talons are the Forest Gumps of the auto world. They are like a box of choclates, you just never know what you are going to get. I saw one last night at Milan in Detroit run 9.08. I've also seen them run high 15s.

 

Lol, never heard that one, but I'll agree, it could be fast or a flat-out dog. Seeing that he revs at everything, I bet he's not out of the 14's yet.

 

The only problem with them is that its not a question of IF they are going to grenade the clutch, but WHEN

 

Yup, their clutches aren't made for anything more than normal driving or stock boost. Heh, when I pulled the original out to replace it, it fell off in about 4 pieces with springs flying all over, guess I was a little rough on it[&o]

 

Shepard ran his best time of 7.7 at 191 mph using Mickey Thompson slicks on all four tires. Regardless, yes his car is nasty.

The 1g turbo is the 14b and it is capable of pushing around 20lbs of usable boost. If you upgrade the stock fuel pump on the 1g, you can easily run 17-18psi with no problems. A 1g with downpipe, full exhaust, intake, fuel pump, and boost controller can easily see mid to low 13's with a good aggressive driver. 2g's on the other hand used the T25 turbo which is much smaller then the 14b. 14b is actually a common cheap upgrade for the 2g's. A 2g with the same bolt ons as the 1g using the stock turbo usually sees low 14's, high 13's.

To the original poster, if you can hear his turbo, he's not stock. Completely stock DSM's were relatively quiet. Once you get a intake on them, they speak up more. If he is AWD and very mildly modded, your only chance is to race from a roll. The AWD's will destroy lots of things out of the hole, but they loose quite a bit of their power through the drivetrain. If he is FWD, I'd try and do the exact opposite and go from a dig and try to edge him out with a good launch from the RWD. These cars are light and stock have comparable HP to your own.
