sorry to bump up an old tread but i thought it was an interesting if not funny read. i recently raced my mates VS Series 2 SS 5ltr with cams, exhaust, cold air and heavy duty clutch (it was manual) and another mates auto stock VX SS 5.7ltr and i destroyed them both. and i mean left them for dead. not just beat them, but LEAVE THEM BY BUS LENGTHS... My car is a 1995 Manual 300ZX TWIN TURBO 2seater with minor mods CatBAck with X pipe, BOVs and Drive pulley. 1st = 300ZX after a while 2nd = VS SS soon after 3rd = VX SS Ive also driven both SS cars and iam (bragging) a good driver and they are quick but when compared to the Z, its a differnt type of power all together. like comparing the type R with a ZX. The type R is quick, quick for what it is.. Its a differnt type of power. CHEERSSSS. anyone wana flame BRING IT ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN :zlove:
jetspeed you will find no one is surprised your tt beat 2 slow ass cars, let us know if you beat a hiyundai excel next time..
that is a slow car though.....not surprised you beat it.... if it had been a vu holden ls1 it would have been pushing around 260-280rwkw with those mods.....might have been a different story then....
hahha speaking of excels, i once stopped at lights next to an excel (it was yellow).. i was in my old Z32 1990 2seater manual NA. the guy rolled down his window and said he reckons he can beat me. I STARTED LAUGHING... My car was pretty quick, a well maintained engine with a Complete exhaust system and POD setup. Fresh clutch. New 18s with 8.5inch wide fresh treads. I was convinced that i would be wasting my time and my (back then) $1 ltr 98 octane juice. anyways light goes green and i thought ill give him a bit of a head start and waited like 3 seconds. NExt thing i knew the excel starts to flutter like a VL and bang, it was buzzing off . I had a hard time keeping up. goes to show, dont underestimate the little buzzbox (with $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ in wasted money invested).
BAHAHAHAHAAHAH go the Excel!!!!! There's a turbo Excel i Perth too. And i wouldn't say $$$$ on waisted investment. I have thought about doing it to the wifes for a laugh. How much would it cost? Not much... 1) Already have an S15 intercooler = $100 (can pick em up cheeper too... for sale for $50 btw if anyone wants it) 2) T25 Turbo (hand around a Silvia forum and you'll pick one up cheep as they upgrade to T28 or bigger) $300 ish 3) Pipework. WOuldn't take much but I have a mate who does AWSOME work So for probably under $500, most of the work would be done Wait a sec.............. Back to races... my fave is still the morning trip to work. Riced up Lancer starts reving off at the lights ready to launch. I deceide "ok" and increase revs slightly Lights change and before we hit the otherside of the intersection im 3 car lenghts in front of him laughing my head off Why am i laughing so hard? Coz I was in my wifes stock standered 4 door excel.
I had some fun with a commodore r8 of some sort (or a normal commodore with LED taillights) and, I'm 99% sure I could hear a supercharger as we moved along. Was pretty much neck and neck from 70ish to 140ish (wasn't really watching gauges.) Anyone know this car? Was black with a big "formula 1" sticker and other smaller ones in white on it's sides. Must be kinda well known if it does have a charger and all those stickers.
i have a blind spot for commies I just dont notice them Tell you what I have noticed. HEAPS of them now seem to have Holden Badged lambo style wheels. Think its a new option. Pisses me off coz i look at them and think "HELL YEAH THOSE KIND OF RIMS WOULD BE WIKKID" and then realise that are "holden" rims So even if they did fit... I wouldn't buy them Imagine that... holden rims on a Zed... man that would be soooo wrong.
My old VS Clubby destroyed all Z32 N/A's i came up against i even bet a few Skylines and WRX's (from rolling) so thats pretty good for a 5ltr VS. It had 162rwkw with exhaust and extractors, i added a CAI and it made 172rwkw sold it after that. But obviously it would still would've had gotten blown away by a TT Z. What happened at the drags? did you win or loose?
Lets call it a private road. I was running out of road so I had to slow down. But the supercharger sounded wicked ay. And it smelt of burnt clutch after. I found a place over east called F1 performance that supercharges R8's and similar. might have been one of theirs...
hehe thats the way This has made me seriously think about my plans for the excel next year lol. Getting a new family car will demote it to 100% work bunky if i dont get a company car I was going to sell it and get a bug or something... maybe not mmmwwwwaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahaa
It pays to keep ya eyes on the "target" 402ci with a 1200hp vortech v7 blower Not all commodores are 'slugish' :nono: Keep ya friends close.... Keep the enemy closer :thumbup:
