That was beyond f'n cool .Excuse me, i have to go masturbate after watching that side by side race...
WOW! that had to be the best u-tube video i have ever seen! thanks for sharing it. pretty fucking intense! like watching a f-15 track a ufo and the f-15 pilot going WTF!
man...i'm sitting here on the couch trying to get over a good chest cold...and that video made my day...amazing....thanks
Hey Buzzard, If You didn't see the time slip, heres the skinny ,D.W. got the light @.501 our 60 ft. times were almost dead on 1.632 seconds, @330 ft. the 55 by a hair I had DW at the 1/8 th 7.16 he had the mph @98.55 1/8 th at the end D.W. 11.33 et. the 55 @11.43 ,DW MPH 122.12 through the trap. thats what made a great race. D. W. hammers it !!!
Yeah Senior, that shit there is what makes a good race! It is such a rush running door handle to door handle! Good thing for me you let up because it looks like you'd have taken it. Drag on!
Good stuff. I could tell you guys were super even at the 1/8. Now spill the beens on your nitrous and transmission. How big a shot and when? What stall converter and what transmission? My 406 sounds like it's got similar parts as your. I just need to know how much nitrous I'm gonna need to show Weber my taillights!
Awesome video, sounds like a bad ass ride... from another related video "its hard to take a guy serious that paid 6 thousand dollars to have his car painted like an easter egg" Muahahaha. I love this place.
Its just a cheater set up . I saw it . Just the little plate against that big blower. The 55 has all the interior, no back seat . It even has the elect windshield wipers.
I love spray !!! Always have . You have to build the motor just like a blower motor. Its good for us poor folks that cant afford a blower.
What did you tell me when i was thinking about switching to an auto "Keep it a stick ".Why do have to change to a boring auto trans ?
That was great! I had to replay it and crank up the bass, it brought the wife in the room.... musta thought I had the car in the living room again.
Interesting observation... my first pass at this vid had the whole Milner/Falfa dialogue from the movie worked in just before the actual run.
That video is awesome. I've watched it about five times and every time I get all pumped up and ready to race. It just captures the whole spirit of what's fun about drag racing.
D.W. that car sounds absolutely delicious. Awesome Please get yourself a shoulder harness and shift handle that's further back. You don't want to be flopping around in a car that fast, and you'll be able to shift the thing quicker to boot.
The thought that keeps going through my head as I watch David going down the track is "I am glad I wear a full faced helmet, I wouldnt want anyone to see the look of sheer terror on my face while I am driving"
Buzzard, I forgot about the trans, its a turbo 350 built for the car ,A 400 would have been easier. 3500 stall tci converter that has the anti ballooning guts for the nos. very important ! you will also want the saftey wrap so no trans parts visit you during a DW run. it also has a reverse valve body and trans brake, I leave at about 4500 rpm then nos from start to finish. you will need at least this to beat DW. ?? for him to see your tail lights he needs to miss a shift ,that probably will not happen.. Talk to you @ PnP, Dennis
