Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Drove it from OKC last weekend. Car is from Austin Texas originally.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

TX yay!

Something about it having TX plates makes it 100X cooler and scary.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Heard about your new toy, congrats man :) Can't wait to see what you do with it!

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Looks fun!

Big plans for it?

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Iam jelly. I would like a c5 some day. What are your plans for the car?

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Very nice, I miss my old vette sometimes, so much tq. Maybe it's just the lighting, but is that satin? Good looking panda.

This winter-
HP Tuners
Ported 243 Heads with 202 160
Cam
Port Intake and TB
Long Tubes
Z51 Springs
Already has intake
Already has Corsa
Maybe E85 if I decide to spray it.
Double Din Navigation

I did drive it Sunday and yesterday and it is hard to explain the feeling it has. It drives like my wife's G6 then you start to push it and it feels like a fricken race car compared to the DSM. At first I didn't enjoy that but it's comfort is definitely growing on me. I do miss the power the old turbo car had but, I'm sure that can be fixed..

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Spray it and won't even remember the power of that little 5858

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Yes, V8 powah! Good choice sir. I agree, spray it and you'll fall in love with insta power/torque.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Huge upgrade, congrats!

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Sounds like you already know what you're doing!

Ever think of going forced induction? Spray is pretty addicting and if you use it a lot filling bottles all the time starts adding up

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

He has considered it, but he doesn't do a lot of racing to worry about filling bottles but he does a lot of cruise which means NA power would be perfect for just getting in and not worrying about a thing.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Basically what Aaron said. I like going out on back roads and beating up on corners (Not 1g friendly). If I get board with NA power it will see boost after a LQ4/6 build.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

^Won't happen.
NA build plus 200 shot will be perfect.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Yeah, c5's are a lot of fun, I kinda miss the black one I had.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Nice. I like how those growl.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Bad ass ride you've got there.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Jelly! And it's white.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Is it the z06?

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

So where did the dsm go?

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Forest lake area me thinks. Its get raced with a lot of the ricer kids i guess.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

The guy I sold it to is from Forest Lake but I think now lives in Balsm Lake Wisconsin.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

No this is the base with f45 suspension. I went with it because I found it for 9k and could not pass it up.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Chicks dig targa :D

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

9 grand? Holy dog shit!! What's wrong with it?

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Nothing that I can find yet! Other than a few loose suspension parts in the rear which is common for these, and a broken HUD bezel.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

I live in near flake and haven't seen it yet. Either way awesome pick up and for that price I think any of us would have done the same!

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Damn nice.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Had a chance to baseline it Tuesday. Wasn't impressed at all, understood after I noticed clearly an amateur tune on it. HOLY LEAN

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Not a turbo car.

I was watching KR on this pull. There was none because it has no timing in it. Hence the choppy graph, there was a degree of learn knock which tells me it has pinged before. I'll get it cleaned up after some shiny new stuff goes on it.

And remember I'm sampling at the tailpipe and it has cats.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Wow, not bad for 345 flywheel stock. That is stupid lean though.

A friend of mine at work has a 2003 auto, DRM headers and full exhaust, cats, throttle body and tune, goes pretty good and sounds mean. We've got a couple other cool cars at work as well, GT500 and a new Z28, now I just need another Lotus to line up in the parking lot next summer.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

There's 20 more in a tune. But I think some bolt on's first, I don't mind calling this my baseline.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

PE kicks in and drops it to 14.1 afr
:frown: Seems legit :rollinglaugh:

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

^PE?
Line it up against stealth?

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

PE = Power Enrichment

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Looks like 1.165 commanded all the way across. Hmm I wonder if there's a delivery issue.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

Fuel trims are perfect too. My math says 12.6 at the heads. Wonder if that WB sensor was dead, car runs to good to be that lean. Maybe the damn hose was kinked again.

Re: The Talon is gone.
 

I wouldn't trust the WB on that run. AFR and power is to flat, if you aren't being rapped by KR, I bet it is just actually FAT for fuel and low timing, thus down.

Still a good 15-35 probably exists with tweaks on that tune.
