Is that piledriver or would it be pilesdriven?

Nice breakdown Taurass. I couldn't figure out where Einstein was getting 240-250Hp. That would be really low for a 2005 to 2010 GT. I guess maybe he was using numbers from a 2V.

Mishri I understand the basic loathing for a riced out.....of all things GrandAm. Be nice, don't play too harshly with the kiddies.

just to clear things up, I was using a corvette as an example... I guess it just got taken too literally from there.

my head hurts from all the fanbois in this thread. If having a fast car is the only reason you have to express confidence to another person then I feel sorry for you. I'm not directing that statement to any one person, but you know if it applies to you.

Mishri brah.

I honestly think as it sits you are pretty much a driver's race with a very lightly modded C5Z. Your trap was about the same as Jake trapped in that car when he made his attempts. It's pretty darn close.

That said I would always put my money on you mainly because even though that Z traps about the same as you - that particular car was always driver limited and could never launch worth a crap.

Fact is we just don't see that many fast street cars at our race track. It's dominated by old school tubbed out muscle cars with a metric buttload of mods on them that get trailered in there.

Its not his fault really...the new 5.0 group has been making outrageous claims for months now. It's just a sickness he contracted when he bought the new car.

Only one way to find out. Mish run that B!tch. Do your D/A calulations and see whats up. Stigs got lightly modded C5Z numbers to compare to already already.

Track opens April 14th, i plan on being there. Hopefully it isn't too busy and i'll get a bunch of runs in. Really though, I expect it to either be rained out or so busy i only get 2 or 3 runs in. Seems to always get rained out till the end of July. my CAI+Tune+Drag radial run DA corrected to a 12.2@117 i believe? (13.1@108 actual, the 2002 z06 went 13.6@105).. i was having trouble launching the car, 2.1 60's. i went from 3.15 gears to 4.10s, added intake and exhaust since then and a better tune. a 3800 torque converter would be pretty sweet, but wont happen this year unless i come into several thousand...

Yeah you have 11s easy if you can get some good 60fts... Just a matter of trap speed at that point and just how far into the 11s you get. Curious to see results.

Is this thread really about racing a 2000 grand am?

Mishri

yeah, and everything else.. I'm racing eerrrybody up in here.

really, the way the call out would work is if I ever heard him talking about his car i'd be like cooool! wanna race? then I expect he'd ask what I have (unless someone already told him) so just a mustang 5.0... see how it goes from there.

I also want to race someone.. only street race i've had in this car was with a fox body 5.0 from about 20-55mph.... and it wasn't really a race.. i let him take the hit and then i chased him down, but not quickly, he had some stuff...

anyway, i doubt ill ever have a reasonable chance to even talk to him about cars... i dont work with his group and dont really talk to him... actually i noticed even the other people that work with him dont really talk to him.. hmmmzz...
