For all the STX and other folks in the San Antonio area this weekend I will be set up out at Sea World (parking lot) for the San Antonio Rodeo BBQ Cook-Off. We will have a 100x30ft tent housing 10 cars for display. The entire BBQ is a fund raising event and we will be charging $1/person...
JonB hooked me up with a 2009 X-Mas special on 6pot/4pot StopTechs, SRT 6-spokes and even some tires (295 front & 345 rear).
Here is the end result - kind of looks like what should have been the stock set up on the 1994 RT. The speedo reads 5mph slow at all speeds (65 indicated is actually...
Big difference between a roots & centrifugal - ride in each.
My thought is that with a roots you have the element of supprise. You jump a TT that's not spooled up and you'll have them for long enough that you can BS the win by saying "man, I was way in front of you all the way til 140-150...
I agree with you and the stock tires/wheels.
I've got traction problems at basically 700/800 running the new 6-spokes (18/19) wrapped in Pilot Sport Cups & I'll spin in 3rd at 100 on a 10lb Roe - sometimes in 4th. A pro & con for a roots SC - I'm running 700tq at 2000. RTs I think are a few...
You could take a Limey car - they're made for the rain :lmao:
I don't own a set of 345 PS2's yet. Will be putting some on the RT soon.
PS:
I'd ride anything that's topless in the wet.....keep it clean!!!:dunno::nono:
Pull the PIN - quit being a pansy. It's going to be a good car with the right repair credentials. You will probably not loose money on the car if you sale down the road. You will probably not make much either, but 0% depreciation - are you kidding me - buy it. Post pics. Nobody but you will...
600-700 RWHP is a FREAKING LOT! More than you have traction for under 100mph w/345's PS2's or Sport Cups. On the Gen3 the tq is less than the HP which is a great thing when running a SC.
SC is the cheapest HP & safest IMO in the way that you can't really turn up a SC too much, you'll run...
Heads/Cam = really cool sound & no lag. Paxton has some lag - roots has none. Can inter cool a Paxton & H2O/Meth as well - Roots no intercooler H2O/Meth only (tune w/H2O and have a pump/injector/flow failure & you'll be buying a new engine - depending on your computer - VEC2 game over - AEM you...
OP,
At your 1st NARRA event you should get Ben to run a session with you & then go for a ride with him in his ACRX.
Smokin,
Twoooo....Twoooo ACRs!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! - Congrats! You got serious!!!! Man I want some time to play!!! I've got a Bat-Belt for your to use, my 5yo said you could have...
I'm not a rocket scientist but doesn't extreme heat like that re-temper & change the strength/structural properties of metal? If that is true then even the A-arms would not be trustworthy.
what do I know - I'd buy the wing and sell it at the local import meet for thousands!!!! I bet with...
mnc,
First time you turn off the straight onto turn 1 or take a carousel in an ACR the aero will make since. Best upgrades for the money in an ACR (IMO): harnesses, Mintex (anything better than stock) brake pads, SS brake lines w/good (RBF-600) brake fluid, lowering the car & setting the...
I live in Selma - we get little stickers from city hall to put on our windows :D
The rest of you are straight up revenue!!!!:omg:
PM me if your up for a cruise - we'll get TexasTonka & RevHeat and maybe some others together for a run out to a choke & puke or something. There is a really...
Read the article "How to steal a Ferrari" in the latest edition of "0-60" magazine - that will scare the poop outta you - Cover/story is the ACR vs SLR.
I have all of the Mc Donald's Happy Meal transformers from the `80's NIB.... Wanna trade?
Also have vintage G.I. Joe, Star Wars, Transformers, Pound Puppies w/kennel, etc.
Got my booty chewed on a similar thread elsewhere for following statement: few things will determine future values -...
He was NOT easy to shake! I was the "sweating ACR driver" :omg:
Now for my excuses:
Corded Tires
Less HP
Stock ride height
Something in my eye
Fat passenger
I had to pee
I was not staying at a Holiday Inn Express
....OK REMATCH :drive::D
