Fastest Street Car On Style

Wow. This is a great thread.

Wow. This is a great thread.
In my opinion this thread has failed to deliver.

Your car goes mid 11's @ 130. Congradulations. I hope you get your car going the way you want it because mid 11's with an AWD 700WHP car sucks ass.

BTW, last weekend the Camaro went 8.80's @ 158mph using only one of the nitrous kits. It has license plates, 10" tires and gets street driven. That's how we do it in Texas.

That is like comparing apples to steak. Let me guess the Camaro's set-up.

Powerglide w/trans-brake, 4 link rear suspension or maybe ladderbars, 90/10 shocks, Ford 9" with 4.56s, 26" DOT wrinklewalls, and a serious stall converter.

Swanny is running a stock 5sp, stock gear ratio's, stock rearend, low profile radial tires, and exept for the coilovers they are on stock suspension.


8 secinds is fast no matter what your driving but pretty much any domestic can break 10s with slicks, high stall, and the proper aftermarket suspension set-up.


That pic does look purty though ;)

Wrong.
I have 245mm wide all season tires, coil overs and adjustable camber/toe/caster, 100%oem drivetrain minus clutch, flywheel and front diff.
oh, they are a 45 aspect ratio tall sidewall as well ;).

The usual internet keyboard cowboys. :rolleyes: I'll back Swanny up on this one, xyz mods list or even dyno charts does not equal xyz timeslips. These cars are hard to tune and drive consistently at the track, and unless you have nothing better to do than be at the track every weekend, you're not going to see a 10-second pass out of a 10-second car right away. I've had a low 11-second car for six years, yet due to one thing or another, I've barely got out of the 12's. And I'd rather make my car nice while doing it than slapping some big turbo on a $500 piece of shit just for the sake of getting a nice timeslip. It takes a lot of money and time, and having the two never comes at the same time.

For those that think they can all do better because they've read about someone else doing it, get out and do it yourself instead of telling someone what their car *should* do.

Well put steve. Until people are waving timeslips, I'd say an 11 is quite an accomplishment. Woulda, coulda, but didn't. People should start turning that last word into DID.

I honestly am pretty blown away with an 11.5, I've never been in a car that fast, so it's a whole new frontier for me when i get in something with more than 400 hp.

As far as AWD goes, I was sad because i'd never experienced an AWD launcho before untill I remembered doing a burnout in a porsche 996TT at morries in the detail bay. lol. I got yelled at, but only by a minion, so it was all cool.

Fucking AMEN.
Oh and I am still trying for 10's this weekend though, we'll see what happens to prevent that.

[Shotgun!]

Best of luck man.

Can I come?

Can it turn though?? I'm not using it as an excuse to defend swanny's car, as he , and many others, already have, but I am just wondering, would you feel comfortable taking corners at speed in that thing? Comparing a car with a purpose built drag suspension to a car with a suspension more suited for road racing isn't really fair. I would be curious to see what that camaro would do on some 245 width low profile all season tires, and no purpose drag suspension, since we want to be comparing apples to apples.

Again, to clarify, not hating on the camaro, or swinging from josh's nuts, but apples to apples, please.
