Default What have you raced? details...

ok i know all i have is a 3.5 monte but being young and dumb i like to race other cars with it but often times I wonder if i really have a chance against something or is it even worth the time, so, im starting this post so that we can all post what we have with mods and all and what've we've raced.


Ill start:

07 LT 3.5
CAI
vs.
08 Stack eclipse
The eclispse got me off the line but once mine hit second I past it and got it by a 6-7 lenghts in the quarter

07 LT 3.5
CAI, Magnaflow cat-back
vs.
2003 Cadilac CTS
3.2 northstar and 5 speed manual tranny, but still stock
I got it off the line but the caddy quickly ate it back up and got half a car ahead and we stayed like that all the way through the 1/4

i almost fell out of my chair when i read this post.....

so you mean to tell me you beat an 04 cobra mustang, but yet the mach 1, with 70 less horsepowe,r beat you? that list is full of BS, no Monte Calro ever assembled could beat those cars without heavy modding.

i new it when i post it i'm going to have someone saying BS. that's why i don't like posting in the racing section. the 04 cobra is a a convertible and is a little heavier than the coupe. i have no idea how much heavier. the mach 1 belong to my friend, he's modded with long tube headers, exhaust, H pipe , tune plus he's better driver than me.
here's my mods list:

here you go cowgirl, some pic of build.









anything thing else you want to see? receipt? dyno sheet? dyno video?
i don't want to argue with you let's get back to the topic.

and how do you know they were racing you????
First off how would i know about his mods if he was some guy on the road?? But anyways no it wasnt on a "formal strip". we have a section of highway we go to in the middle of the night with everything measured out exactly.. people have been goin there for years. The three vehicles I listed were on that strip. The tahoe also had an aftermarket rearend and you also gotta consider i have a v6 so anything is suitable race with it. oh and also you ask why a tahoe??? The guy I raced is a close friend of mine and he just got this tahoe.. the one he had before, an '03, had 37" tires and ran high 14 1/4's NA. He had a bunch of mods on it and his motor was rebuilt for horsepower. it wont be to long before this new one is doing that or better.. and before you ask I dont know exactly what allo he had in it other than over $10,000. But i rode in it a bunch and have seen actually time slips from a dragway in mobile.

I didnt list everything that ive casually raced on the street because there is really no way of telling what they have exactly and if they were actually racing or not.

i don't have a scanner, give me your fax number and i'll fax it to you tomorrow. here's the dyno result i post in local club after the dyno day. this is on a MUSTANG DYNO. the number will be smaller than DYNO JET machine. silverbullet, is my user name in the thread. i had both the mustang and dyno jet number.

the blazer ss beat me cause i had crappy launch bottom line. i was just peeling out. by the time i had my foot off the gas and the car hooked, he was gone. he got me good, end of the story! after the race he told me the blazer was tuned, exhaust , cai, and awd. i'm not ashame to admit that i got smoked by a suv can't beat them all!

It wasn't a race. It was a "Keep-up with the Exotics." Last August, I took the Monte from Boston over to Saratoga Springs, NY. We you're half-way across Massachusetts on Interstate 90, the pace quickens. You find yourself doing 80+ in some stretches. An Audi and a BMW were wasting no time. Had to be doing a buck-ten or better when I decided to get in the game. I had a fun afternoon keeping-up with the swifties. Pushing the Monte above a hundred, while keeping my eyes on the tail-lights of the two guys up-ahead. I couldn't trust the rubber I was on or I'd have seen what the old girl would do. I guess GM sets it at about 108. Something like that. I would have made it.
