BRAD D Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 "I have race slips at shows this car did 1/4 mile in 10.6!" http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2412345769&category=6400 Some how I dont think so, it has a supercharger and a ZEX kit. But 10.6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Your Car is Slow Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Oh I have no doubt he has a slip that reads 10.6.....but it wasnt for his car. He is a moron..but its working....at least 33 other dipshits even dumber than him bidding on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Wonder what they will think when they barely break into the 12s who knows. If he's putting 400 to the wheels though, I dont see that being a long living car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Ok lets say theoretically that he really does have a 400HP engine. If he added say 250-300 shot of nitrous couldn't he run 10.6 in that PIG(it must weight almost 4000LBS) of a car? Of course he could only run a 250+ shot if he did internal work and put on some nice fat tires! 10.6 seems a little fast to me even with the "400HP" engine and nitrous Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidh Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 maybe its really 1/8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Your Car is Slow Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Hope he installed a "danger to manifold" indicator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullbound Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 i agree with davidh. it only sounds reasonable as an 1/8th mile time, not quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Maybe it took so long to get to the finish line he thought it was a 1/4-mile :D D: Oh, I kill me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 They dyno'd one of those and it made about 280 Hp to the wheels, and Maxima's don't weigh 4000 pounds. There are people around here running low 14's in stock one's, and he probably has a 75 shot on it. I don't buy the 10.6 either, but I bet it will get down just the same.

Guest Your Car is Slow Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 280 to the wheels my ass...perhaps with a 75 shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 73TPIZ Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Nadaguides.com says 2895 on the weight and nada has always been w/in 50 lbs on all of my vehicles compared to the digital truck scales at my work. The internet HP calculators says 515 at the wheels and 670 at the flywheel for a 3100 lb race weight. Possible, but i still listen for reindeer hoofs on Dec 24 Maybe he got a running start from the wet box and it was one a dem downhill tracks!!!

denny411 Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 If he really thinks his car ran 10.6`s-1/4, He needs to spend more cash on the car and less on the CRACK he must have been smoking at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 I stopped in at Discount Auto yesterday (went in for new NGK's) and the guy behind the pay counter asked me what my car ran. Anyway, I told him and he said, "That's pretty good, but my EXPLORER runs low 11's". I busted out laughing and the guy was serious and went on to tell me how his V6 Explorer took the V8 model Explorer and the guy who had it before him, "must have hooked it up". I told him "No, it doesn't run 11's" and left the store laughing. It still makes me chuckle thinking about it. Maybe I should have just nodded my head, but I felt like I was getting slapped in the face by someone who doesn't know what he is talking about. Just thought I would add another exageration story to the mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Your Car is Slow Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Had a similar comment someone posted on the local racin board here....guy came up on a Riced out integra or whatever....they basically said "you dont want none..this is a low 11sec car...we just got back from Jax" Well...normally that wouldnt be believable...or so funny...but Jax is an 8th mile track Id buy that his explorer ran 11s in the 8th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 No way 400hp gets a front drive sedan in the 10's. Probably take 500 because of poor launch. And only 9 idiots, 3 of which are mega-idiots trying to outbid each other, have participated. Nothing like running the price up, we'll see who wants it more, jennifer72180 or hytonen. maybe Marquiscruiser will step up? This could be a new reality program.
