In colorado with a elevation of 5000 ft it went 13.7 at 103 on the motor. I currently dont have any times for what it would run on the bottle. But the density altitude that night with the 13.7 was 7500 ft. So here in iowa it should easily be a 12 second car. let me know what you think guys... here is a picture

[FiFdYnUtZ]

[mystictealz28]

i lived in colorado springs colorado before. Thanks for the welcome guys

So if a colorad-in, colorad-ian (idk what your called) moves out...someone else can move in right? Clean car, interested to see how it runs on motor with elevation change.

[mystictealz28]

lol it should run about a 1.2 second difference from the density altitude being so shitty. (according to the online calculators)

Drifte whats all done to your talon... everyone in colorado has some pretty insane dsm's... hopefully its not like that out here cause they are way too common in colorado.


Also where are all the tracks in iowa?

[mystictealz28]

oh and by the way the car still has full interior!

[ZEE]

Always room for another Camaro. :)

I dont know about the west end of iowa for tracks. But there is one in Cedar falls, Eddyville, Cordova, Earlville.

I just sold my dsm but now I joined the dark side and got a mustang.

Welcome.

Co Springs is only 5000 feet higher then CR... i didnt notice any difference in my car or my brother's until we got up in the 7000-10,000 elevations.

[DustinsDuster]

im pretty sure theres a dragstrip at Mid America Motorplex over there.

I noticed a huge difference... it spins the tires in spots that it would normally not spin. like hitting it from a 45 roll will leave some rubber behind now. and in colorado it would never do that. lol

[Drifte]

My Talons just bolt ons, more of a restoration project than race car deal. How do Iowa roads compare to Colorado?

[DragonUSMC]

^absolute shit.

The terrible roads here are like the best roads you can find in Iowa, anywhere.

My brother has been amazed since he moved out. We drive to Leadville which is 30 miles of super windy mountain switch backs. At a few points it says "damaged road" signs and such... we dont even feel a bump even with his coilovers. I love the roads here... Denver on the other hand is pretty much like driving in DesMoines... sometimes your lucky, other times you are trying to angle the car enough so it doesnt rip the exhaust off the car, but up in the mountains is superb.

as soon as i get the video camera i'll take some videos of the spirited drives we go on.... now all i need is my car back.

[mystictealz28]

yeah roads in colorado suck... we can just leave it at that. lol

[DragonUSMC]

what roads?! maybe in Co Springs but Vail, Avon, Eagle-Vail, Leadville, Steamboat, Eagle, Gypsum... all great mountain roads.

colorado isnt all mountains. if you own a lowered car in colorado springs, denver, pueblo. your gonna end up with damage. they are filled with steep drives into parking lots and tons of dips and pot holes

[DragonUSMC]

^yeah i definitely noticed that in the city...

but who wants to drive in the city when you have TYBO BOOST TOUGE DRIFTOOOOO!!? for serious.
