Fucking awesome

Call me a hater, but I want to see the entire vid. And at least some engine bay shots - a mod list to boot would be excellent.

Its not bullshit. This was posted on a trusted site that I visit. The car is fast and the transmission is fairly stock other than a stall.

sweet! fucking autos...

What is there not to believe? He isn't even the only 1G auto in the 9s. It's a light car, with a decent sized turbo and the usual shit. It's 100% streetable though. Lee has constantly worked his times down over the last couple years with the auto.

I'm not calling bullshit by any means. I'd just like to see the entire vid. I'd enjoy seeing the E/T and speed pop up and at least a look-see under the hood. Like I said, I'm very interested in a mod list. When I said "Call me a hater" I meant that I didn't like the vid, because it seems sketchy - thrown together quickly with just the run and a slip. Show it off, that's all I'm saying.

TheBlizzard · 10-09-2006

Yeah you are just seeing the youtube version of it. What Shane is saying is that some of us have been following the car for awhile on anther board. The car is what it is advertised. Its a legitimate 9second street driven DSM.

There are getting to me more and more people that drive DSMs that make any power that are switching to autos since the DSMs weak point is the transmission. Yeah they aren't as fun to drive on the street but if you want to put your power to the ground and run the times you are expecting and auto or a shep dogbox is the only way in my opinion.

How often do you see a DSM make a shit ton of power but never run to its potential because of tranny shifting issues? There getting to me more and more auto DSMs way into the 10s and 9s. Like I said, they are boring to drive around on the street but when you go to the track you are more likely to get your moneys worth with an auto.

Must I reiterate myself once more? BY NO MEANS AM I CALLING BULLSHIT. When I stated "Call me a hater," I was basically saying that I didn't enjoy the video that was provided. If you'd read further than the first few words and also my entire second post, you'd understand why. I myself have an automatic and am planning on making this sort of power. I know it can be done.

Here, I'll make it just that much easier on you and everyone else. Tell me the other board that you're following this car on and the gentleman's member name. Or maybe, if you're so inclined, you could provide a mod list from that gentleman. But I'm certain you'd rather continue pointing your finger and telling me what I'm saying.

TheBlizzard · 10-10-2006

Things are not made totally public for a reason. If you don't know what board he is on, then you shouldn't know. That is by design. I will not post up his mod list.

rst95eclipse · 10-10-2006

If it's on another board and you know its specs, then I'd imagine that it is public. I don't understand why you can't post up his mod list or at least the board so I can get my enjoyment out of a 9 second auto.

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 10-10-2006

It's a private board.

Figures. Guy a sleeper?

The board you are asking about has strict rules on leaking information from it to other places. It is an invite only board that you and I will probably never be members of.

rst95eclipse · 10-10-2006

That would explain why the video is so vague.

No, not really. Most of the videos of the faster NABR members are also all over the internet or their own personal site. The car is fast, and that's that.

rst95eclipse · 10-10-2006

We aren't talking about faster NABR members. We are talking about this one guy with this one car. If all I wanted was to prove that I ran a 9 second quarter without anyone knowing who I was or what I had, I'd do exactly what he did. Short and to the point. It's people like me that want to know what he's running, so I can learn from his setup. And I don't think anyone has questioned if the car is fast. Even without showing the time and speed at the end of the track, I still know it ran 9 seconds just from seeing the run itself.
