Phantom Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Speeder, Rick Bowers, has suggested having another club similar to JSR (Jack Stand Racing) for those of us with heavy cars. P-I-G. We'll probably have to do it by vehicle model. I think I currently hold the crown for the 280Z at 3,085 with driver. Rick is second at 2,950. Any other fatties out there that are willing to admit it? Anyone got a scale slip to dethrone me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zprace Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 i own a 72' 240ZT, the car alone weighs at 2380 and with me at 2500lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Weird, my '73 wieghs exactly the same as 240zprace's. 2380 lbs. with 5/8 a tank of fuel. I think I'll start a new group... L-E-A-N !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Smartass L-E-A-N guys - Those supermodels are nothing but skin and bones. No substance. We're talking full figures with nice skin and good personalities here. Phantom, I think I'll work up a flashy logo for P-I-G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-REX Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 i think the king of this one might be dot, but you can't steal our members! that jag v12 has got to be an orca with pistons.... but damn what a sweet swap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 I'm with you Rick. Let's see, now how can I pork it up a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Dreamer Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Why don't you guys all add a whale tail to your Z's and then you could call yourselves the 'Killer Whales' or the 'Hump backs'! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 OK - OK anyone who can catch Rick can make fun. The rest of you shut up and eat our dust!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR8ED Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Mine tipped the scales at 2900 flat with 1/4 tank of fuel if I recall... add me in and I can be a close second at 3075. Maybe a bit less if I toss out the spare tire...uhhhh wait I already tossed it years ago..hehe Its a good thing my engine is lighter than the original, or I'd be in trouble..hehehe Well at least I can't twist the car to death.. (collisions excluded) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 ZR8TED Whoops! You may hold the title! Mine is WITH the spare tire and about 1/2 tank of gas. Add the tire and about 4 gallons of gas at 6lb/gal and you've got me beat. The king is dead - long live the king!! On second thought - maybe not - I forgot about the roll bar and strut tower braces I've added for another 45 lbs. Time for a weigh off!?

speeder Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Yeah, what Phantom said - What kind of ets do your little bulemic cars run, anyway? How bout this for a logo? I'm trying to come up with a clever name to go with the P-I-G acronym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgkurz Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 My car weighs 2950lbs with a 1/4 take of gas and me in it. With 240 bumbers and lighter wheels I hope to get it down to 28xxlbs. I'm just trying to keep up with Rick's 12.0 sec 1/4 mile time. He doesn't even have the 3.1 in yet. I think I better get slicks and remove my interior. NOT!

speeder Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Oh yeah, I'd be flattered to be in any group that contains dot's fabulous V12Z. ZR8ED, it looks like the gauntlet has been thrown. You other fatties are making me feel inadequate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 That's the spirit, John - leave that interior in and turn up the boost! Power to weight, Baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 Rick - good work on the mascot but probably should have some food drooling out of mouth instead of a cigarette - unless it's smoking to try to lose weight - NOT!! Keep it up guys - good ideas but just not the right one yet - don't give up. John - looks like our ET's are within .04sec and .14 mph of each other. It would be an interesting match except mines going to get heavier & faster. If it gets 'heavy' enough around here I may have to add some boost!

It would be an interesting match except mines going to get heavier & faster. If it gets 'heavy' enough around here I may have to add some boost! Phantom, When I ran the 12.9 @ 110 my car dyno'd at 307 RWHP and 345 RWTQ at 13psi boost. This was on a more conservative Mustang chassis dyno. DynoJet's seems to show more HP for some reason. Over the winter I've added a sintered iron clutch (old one was slipping), 550cc injectors, larger turbocharger, CV shafts, and ported my exhaust manifold and wastegate. At 20+ psi it should make much more HP hence a better ET this season. My goal is 400RWHP and around 400RWTQ on the more common DynoJet dyno. With better tires I'd like my ET to be about 12.2 - 12.5 @ 115mph. Maybe 11.99 with drag radials. Right now my 60ft time is 2.0 on 205/60-15 tires. I need to get it down to the 1.8's for low 12's and 1.7's for 11's. If I had a 240 I think the 11's could be attainable but with the "FAT" 280 I doubt it will happen. Either way I love my heavy 280!
