I was on another drive and see a camaro z28 and pull next to him and we start racing, and its almost not even a race because hes pulling so damn hard I have no chance at all..

1st run from 75+ mph roll, we both downshift and go at the same time and within like 1/2 a second or not even hes like 5 carlengths ahead...damn that v8 5.7 pulls hard for a stock...

2nd run, i decide to jump the gun to see if i can even pull at all, I downshift down to 3rd and hit 7500rpm , as im about to shift/when i shift, he is pulling by already and very hard too, and just flies by again like my car is standing still.

So for the record if u have an n/a , do not try racing a v8 with 300+ hp , this v8 has 325hp, 335 tq and I also read it does 0-60mph in 5.3 secs. So no matter if it was a race from a roll or a race from a stop, I would of lost.

Only way to beat him is if you yourself have a car that has some massive hp for na (bridgeport/peripheral port/monster j port) . My streetported n/a didnt stand a chance, although it was fun to at least try...if i had like a 100hp shot of nitrous i bet it would of been alot better race..but i dont haev any nitrous

 

The correct terminology for 5+ car lengths is BUS LENGTH!

 

5+ cars or buslength, either way i got spanked. Id much rather try racing something like that on a road course around some banked highspeed corners than on a straightway, because obviously an na v8 is gonna have more pull than an n/a 1.3 rotary on a straightaway, but around the turns u can only handle as much speed as your can hold down.

Assuming more weight makes a rwd car handle worse, my rx7 would be able to come into the turn faster than the heavier car would but not be able to get up to speed as fast out of it onto the straightaway as teh v8 would since he has way more power and tq.

Modded 250whp+ t2 would be a good race for this, not my car lol.

 

I doubt even a bridge ported NA would pull on a stock 5.7 T/A...you might have 300whp but he has all the torque to back it up so leave the drag racing to the V8s. If you're stupid enough to dragrace a streetported NA RX7 stick to ford probes and eclipses...hahaha

 

you don't know very much about n/a 7's, first of all the only rotary that is capable of having 300whp n/a i think it's the 20b, i would love to see a 13b n/a having those numbers so i can ask the guy what did he did and do the same lol. ohhh and my uncle did 12.4 on his streetported 12A n/a so i don't think your theory of being stupid drag racing an n/a is true. don't underestimate the n/a's because they will bite you in the one day.

 

I sure love that **** sex ...I sure love that **** sex ...I sure love that **** sex ..., havnt you ever seen the peurto rican videos? na's have some potential!

 

I said I doubt a bridgeported NA as in an NA RX7 would pull on a stock 5.7 T/A. Don't recall mentioning a 20b...and as for your uncle's car, as of now I don't believe you. post a timeslip and pics of the car, if its gutted to a seat and a steering wheel don't bother posting it..

A stock WS6 runs what, low 13s? a 3.8L T/A would be a better match for a streetported NA RX7. Drag racing in general is boring...with an NA RX7 is even worse..

 

For the record i was racing a camaro z28 not a transam, although the hp/torque #'s are very similar since they are using the same size engine 5.7 litre 350 cubic inch v8

 

yeah I just realized that, every time I read 5.7 I think T/A for some reason

 

im with you there bro, i really don't like drag racing but wth. i wish i could show you pics of the car and timeslip but i can't since this was a long time ago and he sold the car. probably 4, 5 years, i was 14 at that time so i can't proof to you the timeslip or the car. only think i know is that he sold the shell and engine apart, the new owner of the 12A mounted it on a datsun 210 and that's the last ime i saw that engine.

 

Hey! I resent that! I have a Ford Probe that eats Camaros all day!
*sniff sniff...Meanie.

 

The cars are so close, with Identical drivetrains/ chassies(SP) it doesnt really matter IMO, I also think your a FOOL for draging with a F-body, let alone a LS1. You need a bottle(NOS) if you really want to keep up or some really sharp corners!!!!!!. Out here in S. Cali there are a BUNCH of v6 f-bodies and stangs with duel V8 style exhaust and badging. It is VERY easy to tell the differance in the tone, and I really enjoy wrecking there days when they want some

 

you cant be talking V8's! Better have pics with one hell of a mod list to pull that out your blue oval!

^_^' heh heh. Didn't mean to sound like a munchkin or anything. I really have beaten Camaros before though. I beat one erm...I think 4th gen is the year? The late nineties ones? It was a V8 but I don't know tuning. I beat my friend's 86 with a lightly modded (carb, intake mani, headers) 305 in it too.
My Probe's a fast car...it's just...you know...
a Probe...

edit: oh yea...pics...sorry

 

Not trying to sound like a hater (kinda late for that huh LOL) but the 7club gets is rash of major bs. Sounds like a a nice car. You been to the drag strip with it? What the top speed? Isnt that the same body as a mazda MX-6?

 

Nice car, I love dark blue. Very clean.

 

The body style is similar...the MX-6 is more like a probe and an MX-3 had a child. What's really the same is the engine. That 2.5 V6 is actually a Mazda engine (and in my opinion, a damn nice one).
The only track we have close is an eighth mile, and the best I ever did this last year was about a 9 second flat ET. I know, that only translates to like a 14 on the quarter, but I pinky-promise I have beaten Camaros before.
Haha, I understand, it's cool. I don't think you were trying to be a hater. Truth be told, if someone popped up on performanceprobe.com (yea...whatever anyone is about to say, I promise I've already heard it) and said they beat a 350, I'd be a little leery myself.

 

Oh, and top speed? Well, it's been to 120, but that's at like 3500 RPM in fifth, so I am sure it goes quite a bit farther than that.

 

LOL!! talk about some ******* ownage mr. probe...I like it

 

dragging an N/A could be all good, if you have other mods.
but vs a v8 dude PWNAGE. unless some sharped curbs.

if you sp your car, and your mani/exhaust.
w/turbo. maybe, I bet you'd at least keep up.
with corners he'd be toast.

as for your probe, i believe you.

My RX7 N/A.
raced a sunfire, with a few mods.
at a green light, wasted him.
STRAIGHT UP not the least bit of hope for him.
his car looked like a ricer car, body kit hood scoop, I thought i was in trouble.
but looks can be decieving

 

Making a powerful NA motor is not street friendly.

If you want power... go turbo
