Guest ScaryFast Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 I was going to buy a roadster before I found my Z. I thought it would be cool to drop in a Buick Quad-4. They put out 180hp in high output trim and being a GM product, parts are everywhere and cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKWIKZ Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Thought I'd let everyone know how the turbo SR Roadster is running. I took it down to the 1/8th mile drags the other night. Needless to say, people were a bit surprised. After the first run, none of the imports wanted to run with me and I was staged against V-8's for most of the night. And I live in San Diego where you would think there are fast imports. My launches were hideous as I have no traction at all. My friends told me that I'd spin both wheels for a third of the track before it would hook up. My times were an average of 9.2 @ 84mph. This is at five pounds of boost, and not fully tunes either. I'm running too rich on the SDS right now. I lost to a couple of big V8's, but only because of the traction issue. My trap speeds were usually about 5mph higher than my competitor. I'm quite interested to see what it would run in the quarter. On the seventh run, my differential exploded on the shift to second. I had planned to run 14 pounds of boost, but to be honest I'm a bit scared of what it might be like. It already comes on like a rocket at just five pounds.
