i was driving home from wally mart when is saw lights apporching fast in my rear view. i thought its time to have some fun! so he passes me gives me a little stab of his trottel trying to show some muscle. His car sounded like he had full exg. and some engine<a onMouseOver="window.status='' ; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';" oncontextmenu="window.status=''; return true;" onclick="location.href='http://www.enhancemysearch.com/admin/results.php?q=work&id=4';return false;" href="" TITLE="More Info..."> work(</a>very loud!)and some rims. My car only has DP and CB. but i thought what the hell. I'm behind him in the right hand lane at a stop light two unsuspecting motorist in the left lane. green light he leaves hard i follow. i switch into the left lane going into second. by the end of second i'm up a half a car. it stays that way into 4th. at around 110 i can see he is walking up the side of my car and by 125 he barly had his nose in front of mine and then he shut down. so i lost but i thought that race was going to be hands down the vettes b/c of his mods. I like giving V8's a run for their money its fun.

 

nice race

 

Close races are the best... Good run.

 

erik-I love the look of your 7! That mod list makes me drool!
Good kill.

 

yeah it was pretty nice. i like close races too. but i have to say thats one of few cars around here that have a chance againest the FD. But there is a 400hp FD in the area and i got a ride in it and DAMN!!! i really couldn't see many cars beating it within a 700 mile radious.

 

i cought up to the guy at taco bell and his mods are long tubs, cat back, rockers, and some ecu tunning. which made me proud of my FD

 

thats a good almost kill, i'm pretty sure it is a pre-92 C4. The stock L98 makes little horsepower and lots of torque, and has almost zero top end. these motors tucker out at around 4400 RPM do to the design of the intake, which is LAME. most cars have more high end power than these things. 12 inch runners SUCK!! LT1's and LS1's are the way to go for an 8.

 

Heh... Um, he was saying that as the cars kept going into 4th, the 'Vette began pulling... So maybe your theory is incorrect...

'rotary expirement seven' = Rx-7

V8-7 for you?

 

C4's are some of the weakest vettes...but still a good run.

 

i bet with some tuning you would have walked him. good death!

 

Actually the C4's are not the weaker vettes. The 50's and early sixties are. The mid 70's C3's are as well. The late C4's are quick.

 

You are right Mr rx-7 tt...I didnt really care to include the 50's though, seeing as how they had 6 shooters. C4's are alot slower then C5's, C6's....although some of the people who own them think because they are a vette they are still the fastest thing out there. Not every owner is like that...but most are older guys trying to be cool.

 

LT-4 C4s can hang with C5s pretty well.

 

I meant when you go with a V8, an LT1 or an LS1 is the way to go. The tip off that this C4 was an L98 C4 was "runners" mod. People usualy get SLP runners or something similar, but it doesn't matter, that motor makes all torque and no horsepower. An LT1, LT4, and most DEFINETLY and LT5 would have been no contest. First thing most of us F-body guys do when we get this lame excuse for an intake is usualy swap over to something like the TPiS miniram, something that pulls up to 6500rpm.

 

P.S. it's the Ultima GTR for me.

 

Car and Driver got about a 14 flat out of both an FD and an LT1 C4. They should be really close.

 

Props to giving a modded vette a run for its money with partial exhaust!

 

That is not an LT1 C4, it's an L98 judging by the mods. You don't get intake runners for an LT1. If his car is just barely keeping up with an L98, then he is either "out of tune" like you guys say or it's just not as fast as it is cracked up to be.
