dr_hunt Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 An 11 second monte will lift one wheel, a 10 second monte lifts both wheels with ease. The car will be dismantled and sent to whomever or the salvage yard. We'll use a whole nother car that's straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumo Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 So I guess nobody wants a HybridZ/Pinks I bonfire party................too bad, I thought it sounded like a good time. I was hoping to have like a Jesse James style drag it out in the dessert shoot it full of holes. Then put it in a giant metal shredder wood chipper looking thing. Would make for a good time too......provided no one fell in the shredder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two40MuscleZ Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 There's much to be said regarding both sides of the "PINKS" Program, and unfortunately for me being a Z person, yes I have my preferences. However, that particular program doesn't ring true for me. Old school street type drag racing never is put together like that. The host leaves much to be desired. Pitting your car against someone elses...you just don't throw your pink down and say go for it! Your going to choose your match; and when you do, it's all or nothing. This crap about 2, 10, 15 car lengths is Bull. You run straight heads up, or from a roll of 15 (consideration for parts breakage). And you don't bring something to the gathering unless your out for blood. It's fruitless to exchange any type of decent challange when its not all out war. To those who participated I commend your efforts. Perhaps the future holds other possibilities for HybridZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zfan Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Just how fast was that Monte Carlo? It looked quick but not fast. A Z with a sbc on the bottle would have bitch slapped that turd. I have known guys who put a city motor sbc 355 in a Z with a th350, decent stall converter and spray a 150-175 shot that would put bus lengths on that car. Unless they can pull a magic cap out of thier butts and run 9's. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan280zt Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Monte went 10.2 on motor. They said that it had 150-180 shot on it but from what I saw it had a seperate fuel system for nitrous (fpr, pump, tank and so on) and for 150 shot thats not really necessary. I have hard time seeing high copmression 383 on race gas putting out 370hp but hey thats just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 The monte looked like it was running a high 11's all motor and low 10's on the juice. The z was running mid 12's and I believe they were running all out on the 4th non-nitrous run or atleast most of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 It sure didn't look like a 10 second car, maybe high 10's on the juice. If the Z ran 12.50's as said and was given 4.5 cars and lost by 6, that would be a mid to low 11 second car. Assuming each car length is approx. .10 of a second. I maybe wrong but I wasn't that impressed with that Monte Carlo. I have run 10.90 with approx. the same reaction time as my competitor and he ran 11.30 and stated I got him by3-4 cars. So unless the Z was faster than advertised..... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan280zt Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I dont see whats so hard to belive that monte ran low 10's on motor. When everything was over he pulled out time slip from previous nigh or so and he said this is what it ran on motor 10.2 then next night they put nitrous kit on it. So can everyone please stop guessing what the car ran I was there I saw the time slip what else is there to discuss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z was still trapping in the 115mph range in its poor running state. So keep that in perspective when you see the Monte put all those cars on it. The night before our trap speed was about 10mph faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Thats pretty impressive trap speed. Damn, I guess it(the Cars) look slower on TV. Was not trying to stir the pot just saying what it looked like. Was the Monte Carlo gutted out? 10.20 on the motor, especially a 383 must have been built very stout to say the least.

Lason Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 So you guys building another car for Pinks? It will have a V8 this time around right? Like Zfan said, a stock rebuilt 350 with may be a set of forged pistons and ARP rod bolts, vortec heads, victor jr intake and a 150-200 shot would have owned that monte assuming it had a decent tranny and rear that would have made 5 pass's back to back with solid traction. O yeah and maybe get a negotiator that doesnt look so intimidated, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogriz91 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I read on zcar.com where someone is building a Z to race on Pinks. Anyone else read that...know the details? http://www.zcar.com/forums/read.php?f=4&i=294145&t=294145 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobala Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 I'd like to see a Zcar.com "L31DETT" Z vs. HybridZ.org "Blown SBC" Z show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete280z Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I'd like to see a Zcar.com "L31DETT" Z vs. HybridZ.org "Blown SBC" Z show. A HybridZ vs ZCar race would be awesome. But forget Pinks, just do it at SEZ or down in Daytona for ZCCA 2007. Race for beer and bragging rights, whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
