I think someone has an intense hatred for the 3S.... Oh well but if I remember right a GVR4 wasn't the lightest thing on wheels. :stick: j/k

IMO, I like the Stealths better. Arent there people with 3S's that run at the track. I dont think I've seen one run before, but I've seen a few on the streets.

Alot of the MN3S members have started going to Brainerd for the Wednesday night street drags instead of Rock Falls. I think I went to about 4 of them including the last two. I know I personally try to avoid Rock Falls Import Days at all costs. They give me nightmares.
One of the locals has been hitting consistant 11's with a pair of 15Gs on his Stealth.
The nice thing about the 3S is the performance and reliablity at BPU. Sure you can make a DSM faster but it takes a lot of work and you sacrifice reliability. And then if you want it to handle and stop as well as a 3S it takes more work. On the other hand what I really dislike (besides the weight) is the transverse V6 motor and twin turbos. What a cluster fuck. I'd rather have an inline six (preferably with a single turbo). Nissan Skyline where are you? ;)

What Chris said about 3/Ses is all true. A twin turbo 3/S will hit high 12s with BPU. In other words with stock turbos and stock fuel. The great thing is they are very reliable and headache free at this level. The bad thing is it get very expensive and a lot of headaches to take it to the next level.
As far as us racing... Us locals have been doing 1/4 mile since before Rock Falls even had Import days. See:
http://mn3s.org/drag-times.html (and I haven't even updated that page in over two years) ;)
later,

So Brainerd is where they all go, huh? I might have to up there sometime to see how nice it is up there. Too bad I have to settle for Rock Falls for now. I'm avoiding Import Days also. Thats why we go to Fun Days...haha.
