Do I know you? I'm at my corner gas station and can't find my way home and have a bad foot..... whoever you are come and get me...

Here's a new one.....written by some college guy

The V8 is my friend, I need no others.
He leadeth me to trounce upon small engines; He pushes me past the slower cars.
He createth me torque; He leadeth me in the pack of performance for pleasure’s sake.
Yea, though I drive on the highways of annoying exhaust notes, I fear no scorn, for thou art beautiful; thy rumble and thy burble they comfort me.
Thou roasteth thine tires for me in the presence of abundant power; thou blesseth my right foot with power, my car purreth nicely.
Surely power and torque shall accompany me all the days of my life.
And I will dwell in the lot of the fuel station forever and ever.
Amen.

Yea Tony he does that, showing off, confusing us. You notice though he did say it was his 03 gt, he didn't say spray or n/a. We know a 2v gt might run a 14.0 or 13.9 stock. Stang guys... just the flip side of camaro guys. Heard ya been going to school btw. I have some supposed to go to soon on the robotic pick and place vision system.

I can only imagine he starts up talking foreign language in his g/f's ear to get her to do things..... Wish I could have done that yrs ago.

fbodyguy

Yeah Rob, I'm sitting here more and more working school work, right now Composition classes. Usually have about 20 hours worth of reading each week and homework.
I believe ya on the foreign language and the GF, I think he's Mr. Rico Suave :)j/k
On the mustang time- that is what I was wondering I've seen that car run on juice and I don't think he's telling it all :)

Probably not imo, he doesn't need to toot his horn, he knows he's bad, we'd all be scared otherwise.

I take it all is well with the leg now?
Well go back to work monday dr. said it was a nasty spiral break, but said it looks good. I know it isn't 100%, ask Adam I could barely shift last sunday. Well worse than usual, I lined up on some kaw rocket bike guy with a jacket and helmet. My wife yelled at me for doing so poorly. Tried a powershift into 2nd. Ankle will get better, a 50# clutch helps. Soon work on clutch too, it's gone.

amoander
04-01-2007, 09:44 PM
My 03 runs 12.60's all day on the nitrous. Im pretty darn honest. Not much of one for alot of BS. The coupe times are unknown at this time he he. It really isn't that fast and my GT isn't fast either. The GT could run faster,but i am also cutting the nitrous off at 5800 and blapping off the rev limiter at 6200 crossing the line. Its geared to steep for the nitrous and my 60' are crap. I am not willing to let the nitrous be on any higher than that or rev the car any higher. I would like the motor to stay together for atleast 3 more years. Oh by the way i never sandbag, i will let up if i am beating someone badly. No point in keeping in the race if you are winning by 5+ cars.

fbodyguy
04-01-2007, 09:47 PM
I was just thinking about that one night when we were side by side, you seemed pretty damn quick, that is why I was asking, fast car though, no doubt:)

amoander
04-01-2007, 10:33 PM
Its just a mid 12 second car as it sits. When i tell people how fast cars are i usually don't say the fastest time, i tend to average them. I know quit a few guys who run for example a best of 12.2 but really only average 12.4's. Out of ten runs he only had 1 in the 12.2 range and the rest 12.4 range. So in all reality its a 12.4 car in my book (it often comes down to how good the driver is). I know for sure that if we are side by side again it won't be the same story =-)

amoander
04-01-2007, 10:38 PM
Oh, if you were comparing your E/T times to mine, where the big difference is in the 60', ur is more then 2 tenths quicker then mine. People don't realize that if your drop a tenth off a 60' it will decrease your total e/t by more then that, it is almost like a exponential curve.

fbodyguy
04-02-2007, 06:48 AM
I need to get a set of Nitto's or ET streets ro run on the street with though, that is the best time from the strip launching at 3K but soft shifting to not hurt the forks in the 6 speed

^ weeny! Drive it till it breaks.

69gt4speed
04-02-2007, 10:54 PM
Tony, you got those weak shifter forks? I got a weak input shaft, I'm thinking of putting a big spline (viper) in it. Oh yea Adam, I changed the tranny fluid other day, 2 qts of rp syncromax and 2.1 qts of mobile 1 atf. My shifter was loose, I took it all apart cleaned out and put in new grease. Definitely the easiest way to fill up the tranny with oil is through shifter hole.

amoander
04-03-2007, 02:32 PM
I second that Rob, so does it really shift better or not?

fbodyguy
04-03-2007, 05:36 PM
^ agree
I filled from the shifter box also, very easy.
I want to upgrade the forks and input shaft to the viper spec also and change my sixth gear to something a little better then the .50 OD :( t

Juggernaut
04-03-2007, 05:49 PM
hey rob you still running IRS ir solid?? also are you on stock half shafts? i remember when you broke one at the track a while back.

69gt4speed
04-03-2007, 11:35 PM
I second that Rob, so does it really shift better or not?

Maybe a lil, there had a lot of metal shavings in shifter. I might experment with the 2 coil shifter springs, lighter, heavier ones. It uses a one piece s.s. ball riding in cnc alum socket. I want to see the t.o.b. retainer sleeve. They make a hardend steel retainer sleeve. I tryed some time ago to put a lil neverseize on the sleeve like doing the old t5's. I wondered if getting it dry moly coated would help. Another thing is the cable, so far the stock ford works best, easiest. I want it to shift like my old t5. As it is it shifts like my old toploader, which is no big surprise bigger gears like the toploader, and tremec bought fords patterns yrs ago. I'll let ppl know if anything works.

No, I have dss level 5's halfshafts in there now, with some stock spares. I broke 2 at the strip. You never get enough traction to break on street. It would always break about 5 to 10 ft out. Each time I launched a lil higher to get a better 60 ft even slipping clutch it would break till last year with the 5's. They have more splines, larger outer cv joint and hub, reuse the stock tripod. Same place that makes fwd/awd halfshafts. Heavy car is bad on parts, if it was fox weight probably never break plus be faster. Cobra kit car guys like the setup.

Well that ol Amoander is sandbagging again. Another gt and a ls1 went by the wayside. On real street tires no less with a tread rating of 300. Next he will be like me asking ppl to sit in the back. Learning my tricks, he's a sharp grasshopper.

Well you notice I could be talking about any so equipped cars anywhere. There are lots of ls1's and gt's around even here. Adam normally is a good driver, better than me. I will see what work will let me do fri, sat. I may be off early at 1900. Maybe you could meet Zee he has a nice ls1 d/d, lots of mods. Maybe fbodyguy. Both of them A+ in my book. And again Apples355 another good guy, that monte of his looks sharp.

It was some fun racing last saturaday, i am also pulling the 4:10's out and putting in 3:73's also, tired of reving sky high in the quartermile.

that will be interesting to see how that affects your 1/4 w/ those lower gears. your MPH will definitely be better since you can actually go through the traps w/o hitting the rev limiter.

Sorry about the wheels, Adam we should of picked up a set last fall.. I may try to get a 2 in stock finish 10.5's.

Ya we do need slower stangs, they get too fast no one does any tests. Where is that progressive boost/tune dial, I swear I bought one. That's right, they are backordered.

My friend Sam got his gt down into hi 11's stock longblock running 13# through a vortech no aftercooler. One day he got bad gas, or mixed it wrong, it preignited and bent a rod, broke a land. So 410 rwhp on 2v stock parts is pushing it at 10/1 cr and running boost. He had it tuned by jerry w of sct for max. power.

To the GTO drivers defense and the Z06 (ill post that video when my computer start gets fixed and i can convert it over), i don't think enough people put value into decent traction and drag radials, my GT gets shitty traction, but if your running stock street tires your in trouble.
