Try finding one of those new turbocharged Neons to play around with when they come out. I don't get what you're looking for anyways I mean you seem like you want a good challenge but then you say you'll use nitrous if you're afraid of losing? What do you want?

Try some mustang GTs or a cobra.

What am i looking for? A hair raising damn good race, thats what im looking for. The nitrous would be used to spank V8's, i got it because of how many there are that think they are the sh**!! I really dont think they will come through with the Neon man, they already scratched the Cavalier idea, and to be honest GM and Dodge think about the same when it comes to performance in there cars. They are WAY behind when it comes to performance(except the Viper, but c'mon its a $50,000 car). So my point is im here to race the imports not Neons, dont get me wrong ill race whomever but i want some more imports under my belt!!!!!:devil:

Ive raced two GT's so far, ive won once but the one loss was before i had hardly any mods on my car. I think i would take him now. The only way the GT's can win is if the driver knows what hes doing. If they cant launch they are going to be playing catch up!! Now Cobras, dont know? Maybe with a 100hp shot half way through the 1/4 mile might do the trick but not sure. I think they would blow past me by the end of the race! Ill try some time!

I think they are supposed to be producing those turbo neons next year or the year afterwards. They are definately going into production, the demand is there for it.

So eh....try a Cobra or a Z28/SS. Good luck if you happen to run into a 2003 Cobra though....
Imports, yeah try the Supras. Maybe try and find a fast 300ZX or Rx-7 around your area.

We can give you recommendations all day long but don't you think it would be better to get to know some people who race? They would know whats fast around your area better then any of us could tell you.

Try finding a newer Porsche to race (this excludes the slow boxster), there are a good deal of them almost wherever you go. I know out where I live there is an incredible amount of big dollar cars, so finding a fast car to race isn't all that tough, only takes a hour or two of riding around. But yea, watch out for single turbo Supras, some are laying down over 700rwhp (no nitrous) on the street.

Have you ever had your cougar to the track? It shouldnt be to hard to find another vehicle to give you a run for your money. Since with your mods you are probably running around a 15 flat or so.

Are you talking about the SRT-4 Neon??? They're already in production... I saw one at the Dodge Dealership about 2 weeks ago...

Ummm, Vipers are near $85,000... dont know where you got $50,000 from.

Did you forget about Corvettes? I'm sure either a Viper or a 'Vette would tear you up.

Or If you really want a good race, head on out to PA and race my good buddy Hybridsol... He's got probably the fastest Import on AF. He'll show you a good race.

Then, after you loose. You can take a trip out to KY, and race 94Svt5.0, I'm sure his 'slow' V8 would show ya a thing or two.

And after that loss, you can come on out to AZ, and race R1Rider and see how well bikes do...

And since your in AZ, might as well come to CA and race TerminalV with his mighty Thunderbird. Or you can race Me... By that time I should have everything completed on the Nova.

So... In conclusion... Bring It:twoguns: :jumpie:

Hey Cougar, how do you fare against a ITR with just basic bolt ons like i/h/e with you racing only on motor? That should be a good race. But a decent driver of that ITR should come out on top.

No, im running around 14.7 on a good day w/ good hookup, probably could run 15.0 flat all day long.!! Thats without nitrous. Probably near 14.0 flat w/ nitrous! Ill be taking her to the track this summer! But....hopefully the turbo kit will be on by then.

S2000....blah...easy! Havnt seen a good driver race one. Maybe if the driver was good it would be real close!

I hope your buddy w/ the fastest import is running under 10's, theres alot out there that are boosted!

Ok, when your done w/ your Nova ill set you up w/ Brian Mclaufflin that has one running 9 sec 1/4!!!

Wow.. 14.7 is pretty quick. What are your 60' times?? And you think you're gonna run 14 flat with a 75 shot?? Dang. Thats a 7 tenth drop. It should be a good race between you(not squeezing) and a i/h/e ITR..


Redneck said that Hybridsol is probaly the fastest import(s) on AF.

fatninja19
03-03-2003, 09:31 PM
Oh yea.. and if you ever get around to racing hybrid, he wouldn't even need to launch and you'd be done for. And yes, thats even if you're squeezing.

Battle of the imports was this last weekend at my home track in cali, we saw a brand new srt (bone stock) go 13.90's he was running 14.0's all day then when it cooled off a bit he got his 13. I Drove a srt-4 today, i hate 4 bangers but this thing is bad, for 20 you cant beat it. Also it stops better then my roomys 01 ss and it handles pretty damn good.

With your numbers, you should try to take on a stock GTI 1.8T. They are 14.6-15.2 stock. That should be a drivers race

No disrespect but NO stock Cougar will run under 16.0 1/4 mi. Check the stats on the cat first. It takes a shit load of bolt ons to make them run good, and some weight lose helps to. 2850lbs+170HP=16.1 1/4 mile!

My friend just bought a brand new 350Z (orange color?). We plan on racing this summer, but in all reality unless he cant drive he should walk me!
Oh, the guy that thinks S2000's are the shit, i have a video for you to watch that has a new Mustang GT with a h-pipe and exhaust racing a S2000 WITH nitrous and the S2000 got spanked, like i said they are not that impressive.....for the amount of $$ you have to spend to get one!
Like i said i know ALOT of Honda boys here that are NOT pro's and are running 11.0 1/4!! No disrespect to whatever his name is, my point was theres some tough-ass' out there that scare me half to death and not just one guy(whatever his name is). :p.

The guy that suggested you run an Integra Type R suggested a good challenge for you...make sure you spray. Quite a few of them have broken into the 13's with just bolt-ons...NO forced-induction. With that in mind, S2000s are FASTER than the ITRs.

Ask these guys (http://www.s2ki.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=34) for a race...I'm sure one of them lives by you. You can also ask them about their various Mustang GT kills. One of these races were between a stock S2000 and a mildly-modified 99GT (incidentally, this is also the GT owner's screenname in there). The GT owner himself said he lost. They're pretty cool guys so PLEASE don't go in there flaming, considering I linked you there.

EDIT: They have a video of the GT VS S2000 race, I believe...I know I've seen one such race there.

My cousin owns a 2000 GS-R with the same mods as you except for the v-tech controller. Ive beat him time after time!! Who said running high 14's was impressive....i didnt, so dont put words in my mouth. Oh my best time was 14.47, but that was one hell of a lucky run and havnt been able to do it again so i dont post it often. Also asked for a good challenge BECAUSE people always make fun of me for picking on smaller cars, that has nothing to do with me thinking im all that.:rolleyes:

You say you're from Ohio? Come up to Cleveland and hunt down a certain Prelude I saw running around. (Yep, I think I spotted you on I-480, flywsi) He's stout.

Almost as stout as my baby, Layla. She may be laid up now, but once the bottom end is back in her, lookout. 1400lbs and 170bhp at the rear wheels will destroy any non-V8 Cougar.

HMMM, NICE car you own!!!!!!!!! Ill race you in my 1961 MGA 1600 roadster that has a 1800cc engine swap w/ a high flow dohc aluminum intake! I LOVE MG's man, good choice of cars!!

Layla's Keeper
03-08-2003, 10:48 AM
No kidding? Stellar choice, man! I'm jealous, though. You probably can't see the ground through your floorboards. But hey, Layla was $450 out the door. I figure a Stage II rebuild kit from The Proper MG, hardened valve seats for unleaded gas, electronic ignition, copper slimline gaskets, a full rebuild for my Weber, and a hotter cam should take me up to 180-200hp. I know I can get 240hp once I go to dual Webers and a port job.

But I've seen some good prices on Rover V-8's as well. :angel:

CougarSVT
03-08-2003, 02:30 PM
Heck yeah! The main point in me swapping was dependability. That is putting in MSD ignition, coil, distributor etc.....Im a little at loss on the transmission though. Can i really use the MGB tranny with the 1800, can i get a better stronger tranny(aftermarket)? Do you still have probs with timing on the MGB GT? Oops this is way of subject, sorry!!

Layla's Keeper
03-08-2003, 06:16 PM
The best Morris Garages tranny I've encountered is the one in my B. The four-speed, non-overdrive box with straight cut gears. Totally bullet proof, though you might want a stronger synchro on 2nd to 3rd. I'm not sure if you can mount them in an A, but I've seen people work them into Midget/Sprites.

Of course, I've seen Midget/Sprites with Mazda RX-7 gearboxes and 13B rotaries, too.

As for timing, she's solid with stock ignition right now. Though as often as she fouls plugs it's hard to tell (the Weber is still dumping raw fuel into the cylinders :( ). My plan for electronic ignition centers around getting more efficient spark to burn the whole lot of fuel and air that a Weber, or two, pumps into the cylinders.

SVT, you go to Mid-Ohio or Nelsons Ledges at anytime?

First of all, Cougar SVT came off with the notion that he has no competition to give him a good run. And second of all(if you can't read), civicHBsi91 was using an exaggeration of HYBRIDSOL beating CougarSVT in "reverse."

Yeup, the WRX has way more torque than a Cougar, and it has no problems putting the power down, even on Pep Boys tires.

You should go to Mid Ohio, it is a great track. If you take your car out on it sometime, watch the hard right then hard left after the long rear straightaway, its kinda slippery :)

R-1, you took the words out of my mouth. I HATE that combo turn. Up hill right, then downhill left at the end of the front straight. Icky. Wasn't it Patrick Carpentier who flipped it end for end in that corner's gravel trap a year or so ago? Or maybe Michael Andretti?

But it's a driver's course. And quite pretty too, for middle-of-nowhere (read-Lexington) Ohio.

R1-rider
03-10-2003, 08:10 AM
I'm not sure who it was that lost it there at the F1 race, but it is a dangerous combination of turns, that downhill left is so easy to slip your rear out, ofcourse when they SCCA race there that is the best place to sit, since all the cars com into that turn about 3-4 cars wide. But yes, Mid Ohio is a beautiful track, very secluded but what a nice view from the keyhole when you can look down at all the farmlands and stuff.

:confused: If your FWD car is strongest off the line like that, then its not as fast as I thought I might be. Off the line the AWD pretty much rules the roost.

My 0-60 is 4.6(best) to 5.0(normal)! Its always 65% driver to 35% car, that means they better know how to launch that WRX(not as easy as you think)or they will be playing catchup through the 1/4 mile!! Besides, about the time the WRX was catching up they would have to deal w/ a 50 shot!! Yes ill use the shot if i see necessary, but havnt yet(i just bought it). Besides fellas my cars going in tomorrow for a 8psi boost at itsturbo! Soon i will be the so called "fastest new edge Cougar in my part of the country"!!:silly2: :silly2: :silly2:

Ford makes there internals on the Duratech w/ forged componets. Also unlike your car that runs 11:1 compression, mine is only 8:2:1 compression. That = able to handle the extra force!! Besides 8psi is kinda little but will work for now while i build a SVT 2.5L that can handle 15psi or more.

Your car is geared differently fella. Most honda's are good 1/4 mile cars but stink for torque and low rpm HP! Thats just common knowledge in my part of the country!

No no no, sorry i meant "normal" as in that i could run that just about any day(w/ the correct staging done to my tires). I didnt mean stock, they run near 7.5 sec stock (hehehe)! Ive also dropped 218lbs from my car to help w/ these #'s!!

Now im not being a smart ass but just because the Stang can run 14's doesnt mean its going to have a incredable 0-60 time. You cant base a car thats running 14's is going to have a good takeoff (or 60ft time). This eaven falls into the same bracket as the top speed at the 1/4 mile. Some cars will show a low top speed but still pull really good 1/4 mile time.

Z28 is a Camaro:D
But anyways...So you run a 4.6 0-60 time...What is your quarter?? I thought you said in the 14s? The Z28 runs a 5.7 0-06 and can run a quarter in the 13s. So how do you have a second quicker 0-60, and a slower quarter mile? Missing some gears or something? I'm highly confused:confused:

The steering wheel is on the RIGHT in the original pic you posted. When someone asked you about it, you said that the pic was flipped. In the picture I posted, I flipped it using Photoshop. BUT, the pic I posted is obviously BACKWARDS as the license plates aren't correct.

Not sure of a kit, but turbo's are universal. Talk to the people at Garret or TKT to find a turbo that is properly sized for your engine and mods. After you have the turbo, you just need to piece together the rest of the system and have piping done. Won't be cheap either way, but you could do it custom for less than the kit will probably cost.

What? That makes no sense. The reason you see times like that are because of traction problems most of the time. You quite frankly just DO NOT HAVE THE POWER to run a 4.6 0-60. I could see MAYBE if you were running a 7.51:1 gear ratio(YEA RIGHT, impossible:rolleyes:) AND you had metal wheels running on a magnetic track:rolleyes: :rolleyes: then MAYBE you could pull a 4.6 0-60:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

What is the stock 0-60? I read somewhere around 7 seconds...
You have 20 more hp than stock and STOCK gears yet you claim to run a 4.6 0-60(BETTER than a CORVETTE). You have YET TO EXPLAIN how that is possible...I'm sorry, but I'm not going for it until you lay down some solid facts about how it is you accomplished it. Do you not realize how fast a 4.6 0-60 is?? How did you do it with 20hp and stock gearing? :confused:

If you're not sure how fast that is, here are some comparisons of other cars' 0-60 times.

Ferrari 360 Modena = 4.5s
Ferrari 550 Maranello = 4.2s
Camaro Z28(LS1) = 5.7s
Corvette Z06 = 4.7s
Aston Martin V12 Vanquish = 4.6s

I can give more if neccessary? How is it you keep up with these supercars with 200whp and stock gearing?:confused:

WORDDDD.... finally someone said it.


Stock ITR's run high 14's in the 1/4, and around a 6.5 0-60..... There you go.. FWD, 190 horse car. Pretty close to your car(closer than a Camaro at least). So please explain how you can possibly run a "4.6" or whatever. And actually break it down technically and explain and dont just give me an irrelevant fact and tell me to think about it. I've tried to be pretty nice about it so far.. so either explain in great detail how you can run a 4.6 or fess up to the truth.

And how do you know you even ran a 4.6? Go to a drag strip??? Let's see the slip.

How did you do it with 20hp and stock gearing? :confused:

Self is right you have yet to explain yourself clearly, and the stock 0-60 times are around 7.5 to 8 sec but closer to 8 and with 14.5-15.0 sec 1/4 you're not going to get 4.6 0-60 unless you have more power in conjunction with a set of lower gears.

Basiaclly the 4.6 0-60 time is the result of the use of a stopwatch while attempting to drive and watch the speedo right? Extremely inaccurate, too easy to hit the start button abit after your rolling eh?

Blah blah blah blah!! Thats all im hearing guys. You then explain why a car that beat another in a race can run a slower time(MPH) than the one that lost. You cant can you!! Once again common knowledge when speaking about drag races. My car stock fellas has 170HP...where are you getting just 20hp gain over stock?? Are you putting words in my mouth again? My horse power now is near 225HP(give or take a HP). Do your math again!!!!! ONCE again i dont qoute that 0-60 time very often because of this, my everyday time is near a Mustang(thats modded around 5.1-5.3 0-60). If you guys have the fast cars you say you do and cant break into the 4's at 0-60 then you cant drive.....period!! If you think you can drive a 5-speed then i want to see you bang through the gears w/out letting go of the gas! I can, and have proven this to MANY that dought it. Thats the one thing i am VERY good at!! Thanks! I live for doughters...thats why im getting boosted. Because they said it cant be done. HA! Its being done as we speak.:thumbup:

03-12-2003, 03:42 PM
doughters... you mean Doubters?

Ok lets look at the facts you've told us...

Stock Cougar V6
165hp/165tq
2900lbs
0-60 in 7.8 Seconds
1/4 in 16 Seconds

Your Moddified Cougar V6
225hp/who knows on Tq
2500lbs as you told me online
0-60 in 4.6
1/4 in the High 14s
With stock Transmission and Gears

I hope you can see why we are skeptical...

Only increased about 60hp... and shaved some 400lbs off the car... How did you do that exactly?

But Yet you shave almost 2 full seconds off your 0-60, which puts you into the 'super car' category for accleration yet you can only pull down a High 14 second pass at the end of a 1/4 mile.

Its very hard to believe that the car can travel so fast yet be so slow... you know?

Oh, and yes some of us do have fast cars... and yes some of us do know how to drive... Telling us we cant drive wont do you any good. :p

You haven't explained anything...And I log all of my AIM convos. The other day in the chatroom with redneck and myself you said your car had 205hp STOCK. Now it's magically changed to 170hp?? Either way, I was assuming you have 225hp. All I'm asking is for you to please please PLEASE, explain exactly what it is about your car that allows it to run almost 3 seconds quicker than the stock version in the 0-60? How can you outrun a Corvette Z06 with 405hp and hang right with an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish? That's all I'm asking, please please PLEASE, let us all in on how you do that??? And the gains from shifting through the gas is neglible, definitely won't gain you 3 seconds, I guaran-damn-tee you of that. I KNOW I can get my car to run a 4 second 0-60, it's YOUR car I have a problem believing can do that:) So let us all in on the secret? Or admit you're either lying or horribly mistaken...

Oh, and FYI, 99.99% of the time a car has a better quarter mile time than another but a lower MPH, it's due to traction. Common knowledge that the quicker you hook up the lower you mph is going to be but the higher your ET. Example, my cars once ran something like a 14.4@102 and then a 13.9@99.8x(don't remember exactly but something like that). See there? That's because I had a GARBAGE launch on the first run, which accounts for the slower ET, but a higher MPH.
So you have still proven NOT A DAMN THING:rolleyes:

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong. Nice try dude. Horrably WRONG! Yes traction is a big part but definatly absolutely not the reason. Do some research first.

Please look up what Venom actually does. They do not make just nitrous. Its a piggyback fuel system. Along w/ my specially flashed chip. Along w/ my programmed Maf. All that together my friends do wonders for your car. Meaning advanced timing, extra fuel, upped redline, extra air.....god i could go on. When you do ANY performance modding to a OBD-II or OBD-III computer controlled car you must and ill repeat MUST reprogram either your chip and or PCM. Those mods on your car WILL NOT do the job they were intended to unless the PCM is able to recognize those mods properly. I run my car perposely very rich to achieve my good times, i actually blow flames after shifting. By doing this you must have the high output from the Ignition. That explaines the MSD Dig. ignition.

Ill have more when i put my kids to bed!!

I could have real fun with this guy, however I think I will take it easy for awhile atleast.

ok just to correct some of your specs you listed about your car stock:
HP: 170 @6250rpms
trq: 165 @4250rpms
curb weight: 3013 (assuming it isnt the V6 sport trim)

Now I would also like to bring to the light that the cougar is a FWD car, so again, even with 225hp and 2500lb car, you still would never EVER come near to hitting the 0-60 times you are saying.

You can switch gears while holding down the gas pedal? oh my, I can hear the clutch grinding away in my head. Why don't you be like Vin Diesel and double clutch like you should (sorry had too). Why don't you take your car to the track and try to heal/toe shift while ducking into a corner breaking and downshifting then accelerate out of it without missing a heartbeat, but I am sure you can right?

The launch is the most important part of any drag race, as it is decided by reaction time, if you bogged, if you lost traction, etc. If you do not get a clean launch, you can lose anywhere up to 2 seconds on your ETA.

Um, if you are throwing flames out your tailpipe, you are running way to rich, in which case you are sacrificing the quality of the burn you get every time it fires. So I would look into getting your engine rebuilt every 15K miles as you will have a host of problems if you chose not too.

Ok, now I hope at this point you will realize that you do not make the power you said, do not run the times you said, and probably cant even drive as good as you have said. But besides that alone, you have given no history of the modifications you have done to your car indepth, besides having a Venom 400, which cannot even come close alone to giving you 225hp. Now I can give you exact stats of my bikes, runs at AMA races at my track I competed, runs at the dragstrip, dynos of my bike, and even could get you the phone number of the company that helped me tune my motorcycle. So again, when you are ready to put up the proof (that we know doesnt exist) that you car can perform the way you say it does, then I am sure we will raise you off the forum status of TROLL that you have placed yourself into.

And yes, I did take it easy on you.

Anywho...assuming that your car really weighs 2500LBS and you have 225HP, you are carrying 11.1LBS-per-HP.

Now, let's take a car that you should be beating, at least 0-60, since this car ONLY runs a 5.2 0-60:

2002 Camaro SS (stats from car-stats.com)
3300LBS (actually slightly lighter)
320HP (conservative estimate)

This car carries 10.3HP-per-LB.

with the few little mods he has there is no way he is hitting 225 horse power. he might be getting 200 at the crank. which means nothing. FWHP is the number that matters just b/c your engine puts out 200 HP doesn't mean crap.

o wait his car isn't an NSX o wait it isn't a Honda that would explain the Vtech then .............

Well, I'm 28 too. I've been street-racing since I was 14, starting with my uncle's Gemini (never sold here in the States, related to the the 280Z, I believe...all I know is it was green and it was quick), and even my dad's Oldsmobile with the big-block swap when I was still in the Philippines. I started here in the U.S. in Sacramento back in 1992, driving for my friends (I had no car of my own). Among my list of friends include one of the first people in this state (AZ) to have a DOHC engine swap done on a Honda Civic (1994). He has his own shop now. I have owned a car from practically every major car manufacturer selling in the U.S. except for Mitsubishi.

Now, reading the above...none of that crap qualifies me to be believable when I make ANY kind of statement, true or not. Whatever qualification I might bring to the table, doesn't imply that I am automatically speaking the truth. You have to quantify what you've said. Now, you said in response to SVT that you measured your claimed times with a G-Tech. Fine. You say you have more than what you have claimed in your sig. Cool. Bottomline is, none of it still adds up. I have seen a 300+ wheel-HP Civic run "only" a 15-flat. It's mostly because of traction issues, mind you, but are you telling me that without major suspension mods, you have solved the riddle of FWD traction issues where you can outlaunch a WRX with basically the same HP as you claim to have? Hell, a stock WRX can outlanch a Corvette Z06 till 30MPH if the WRX driver knew how to launch! You're telling me that you can outlaunch that?!

If you don't find the above statements I made about launching (i.e. your car VS a WRX VS a Z06) incredulous, then you don't know HALF of what you claim to know. Hell, you barely even know how to spell most of the mods you put in your car! Didn't you read the package?

Oh, and about your statement that

Listen to your own advice and "You need to ask someone educated in drags before posting something about what is important in drag racing".

I'm still just wondering how he can manage to outlaunch a Z06, an AWD Skyline, an AWD WRX, an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, and nearly a Ferrari 550 Maranello...If you want to end all of the argument against you, start off your response with "The way I got my normally 8 second 0-60 Cougar to run a 4.6 0-60 with 225hp, stock gearing, and fwd was..." and go from there. Until then no one is believing you...Oh, and what's the guy's phone number from itsturbo? I'll gladly call him right this second...:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

the reason he got a 4.6 0-60 is b/c he thats what his g-tech said. NOT ACCURATE. Until he goes to a track and gets a time slip for proof he cant say for sure with any true acuracy what his car can do.

It was a very fast car. Good low end torque and good high end hp. When he let me drive it, I chirped the tires all the way up to fourth gear, and I never broke 50 mph (lots of torque). I downshifted (he warned me not to) to second and nearly killed both of us....

DO WHAT.... are putting words in my mouth AGAIN!! Like i said before i laugh when you guys say i have little mods or assume i dont have certain mods. Why dont you just ask!? I have a FULLY adjustable suspension that is set up for drag, i also have the essential rear anti roll and upper strut bar. So.... now what? Ask and ill will deliver!!!!! Umm, the G-tech is VERY reliable when used properly, that is a flat road and a BRAIN will work. Ive proven the G-tech several times by comparing the results from actual track times. Carson has also proven the G-tech by these same means. But hes probably a dumbass and has no idea what hes talking about right? Unfortunatly Carsons website is under construction(atleast it was yesterday). Check it out itsturbo.net!!!!

Carrnut, ill respect all what you have done mainly because it sound like we are both similar in upbringing. I also own alot of cars and have owned many different cars. My main car right now is my perfect 1961 MGA 1500 roadster that i am in the middle of swapping the 1500cc to the 1800cc w/ a aluminum highflow dohc head(i have pics). Plus many other upgrades that i wont list. The other is a perfect 1939 Caddy(flathead V8), must i go on? Im not new here, i also am a part owner of Bullen ultrasonics inc. which has the largest Crystal Puller(makes silicon Wafers) in the world. We also just went world wide by opening a plant in china. We make parts(computer chips) for Intel, Lam research, Applied mat. & Nasa. And this summer im buying into itsturbo, so i am not a "troll" or a newbie, i may not be able to spell but i do know my cars!:D

okie...wut are the components of ur "fully adjustable" suspension...because coil-overs don't count as "fully adjustable for drag racing" (yes i kno u can adjust them...but its not a stand alone suspension that is going to help u w/ drag racing much). u listed anti roll an upper strut? uh...that doesn't do ANYTHING for drag racing...:rolleyes:

uh...the reason why we talk say u kno nothing, is cuz of ur comments like "reaction time is everything" an call us all newbs, when ur the jackass who's making a fool of himself.

actually coil overs would help. but what he would really need is solid engine and tranny mounts. this will get rid of most of the wheel hop problems that plague the cougs on the track.

sorri...phrased it wrong, didn't mean that it isn't going to help u at al...jus meant its not going to allow u to run a 4.6 0-60 is all.

I'll tell you will make the biggest difference in getting rid of tha wheel hop. new tires better than those crummy firehawks. Since i installed the new dunlops on mine i never experienced hops which used to anoy me .:mad:

cougar4life
03-19-2003, 11:56 PM
yes the firehawks do suck. the are the most over priced tire that has ever existed. i just ruined one of mine and i am going to replace it with another firehawk b/c i can only afford one tire right now. but luckily it has gotten nice enough i was able to put my 18" VX-K's on.

but acctually when you start making more power you will find that you will have horrible wheel hop on the track due to the traction compound layed on the track. but on the street wheel hop should not be a prob at all if you launch correctly.

and to KrNxRaCer00: the way it is phrased now i can agree with. it would take a lot of work and cash to hit what he is claiming. QUIFE LSD would be a must.

NO, what he would really need is 100 more horsepower:rolleyes: This is a joke...What's the guy's number you said to call? I'm going to call him...

IF your car can run in the mid-14's, you should try running a stock MR2 Turbo (US SPEC). It would give u the opportunity to see how good your launch really is. And if you plan on using your nitrous, try running a slightly modded MR2 Turbo (with maybe exhaust, FCD, BOV & MBC). But honestly, I don't think you'll be able to get anywhere near a turbo deuce without nitrous.

Given the mods that u have, I think you'll probably be a good match for my FTO GPX (filter, extractors, exhaust & Unichip). Pity you'll never even be able to race one.

I'll call in a little bit. I WANT him to throw facts at me, so I can relay them to the board. Since you have yet to give us ONE fact even:rolleyes: We're not talking about next year or whenever you'll have your turbo. We're talking about RIGHT NOW. You would need 100 more horsepower than you have NOW to run the times you run NOW(0-60 I mean, quarter isn't impressive at all).

Not impressive?? Dude get your head out, its getting dark isnt it! Ill be THE fastest Cat on the road, and im talking about the new edge cats by the way. The Cougar will beat any out there even w/ out using Nitrous with the turbo(which will be installed in the air to air intercooler). Whats NOT impressive is getting an already 12 sec car to a 11 sec car (you)!! And by the way its going on before May 9 th because thats when the Cruisefest is going on and ill be there showing off the boosted cat. Granted ill have serious traction problems, but it shouldnt be to bad because the Neon Carson did ran a 12.9 w/ STREET tires. Hopefully a sponser will step up with some posi and other goodies. Called him yet????

Correction...Low 14 stock...Low 10s now(expected...I HAVE NOT been to the track with the current setup, as school and the bad weather have prevented it, and this is just an estimate judging by the power and weight of the vehicle. I have no problem admitting that, unlike yourself).
And once again, I'm not talking about the future, or what will be, or might be...I'm talking about RIGHT THIS SECOND. And right this second your quarter isn't impressive...Upper 14s if I'm not mistaken? Your 0-60 though is EXTREMELY impressive as you can manage to hang with cars that have 6 more cylinders, 300 more horsepower and weight the exact same if not less...THAT is extremely impressive, if you could even begin to prove it, or give one fact that would back it up, or even try to tell us how it was done. You still haven't...No I haven't called yet, btw. I'll let you know when I do.

cougarSVT you talk abotu nitrous but how are you going to install it if you sell it. remember when posting here i read the NECO boards and yes i do read the for sale section. yes everyone he is selling his nitrous kit on the NECO boards. either he isn't going to install it, he has a diferent kit in mind, or he is going to screw someone over on the NECO boards(not a good idea).


"Ill be THE fastest Cat on the road, and im talking about the new edge cats by the way." WRONG
i know of one cat in Iowa that soon will have a running supercharged 3.0 in his car right now it is getting dyno tuned.

also James howards cougar will be way faster than anything you could do. he is getting a completely built engine w/ turbo and a nitrous set up. yes i know his isn't an everyday driver type of car. but i can tell you the one in Iowa is.

also how fast do you think you are going to be able to go. what drive train mods do you have planned to get that power to the ground i hope some tranny udgrading and of course a LSD are in the works. if you want this kind of work done talk to Terry Haines of Haines motor sports he is the cougar/contour master. you can read about him at fordcontour.org.

In my opinion this thread is a flaming pile of dog shit. SVT you post and you post but you fail to post one shred of evidence that you can pull those times. Also, you think you will be getting 100+ more HP just because you install a turbo and an air to air intercooler. You might, and you might not and like self said, that is the future, not now. I don't give a crap what you are going to do; I want to know what it runs now, and the truth. Sure my GTC project will be running 11s or 10s in the 1/4 when I am done with it, but right now it can't muster under its own power, hell, it doesn't even run!

I even wonder if you know what you are doing, and if you plan on installing this turbo right. If you were really looking for power then you would be installing an air to water intercooler. What about a fuel regulator? What about all of the other things required installing a turbo? What are you doing to build up the engine? What about the exhaust?

I am closing this due to length and the sheer fact that it has drawn on with no intent to show any proof what so ever. I can only see this elevating even further than it already has.

If you can be more civil about this and show us some proof, than open another thread, otherwise they will be closed as well.

As for you Neutrino, I am calling BS! You BS all the damn time!!! :p
