Always nice to go up against the big cats like the Viper, z06, MKIV....
Sounds like you were able to hang with him anyway... Video! |
makes me wanna go run my cars against each other
|
I raced a vennom 600 from a 40roll.. no problem. Just hope you are safe ;)
|
I'm suprized you guys call this a race. A roll starting race? come on! Beat him from a dead stop. I'm a Viper lover at heart but im saving for an 3rd Gen RX-7. Oh and you can be 100 hp different on rolls and both cars hang even togather. I wouldnt feel big on that. I've seen a 03 Cobra and a 04 Neon SRT 4 pull togather on a roll but in stop and go racing its no Question Cobra no what i mean?
All's im sayin is rolls dont mean nothing. |
The -7- CAN'T Lose!!!
|
Good luck and remember to get this on tape.

That is incorrect. Racing from a roll and going for a.....how you say it......LONG race has nothing to do with weight, or HP/Lb. Racing from a roll virtually eliminates the driver, and has more to do with HP than Torque. Other heavy weighing factors on racing from a roll are HP, gearing and aerodynamics. The Viper is a proverbial brick at speeds in excess of 120mph without body mods. Having owned one, i would know :)

"Racing from a roll virtually eliminates the driver" Which is my point EXACTLY. Roll racing show's, more accurately, the FASTEST car. :p: I've been racing/street racing for more than 20 years, I guess I would know as well. ;) Cheers |
why hasnt the video been posted?

its called bull shiiiit

hp/Cd <- more imporant after ~60mph

Originally posted by ForceFed The point that i was trying to convey is that the misconception is that weight has anything to do with races from a roll. Weight *may* play a factor right when you hit the gas, but as soon as you get over 70mph weight becomes irrelevant for intentive purposes. My point was that a lot of cars can put down good number's on the dyno or good times at the track, but can't put it to use on the street from a standing start. Mustangs, in particular, tend to live and die on their 60's. Driver error on the launch compounds this even further. :cool: A good 30-120mph race will alway's show who's car is faster(unless they're a guber that can't shift). :p: |
I agree that races from a roll do show who is making more power.
Your example about the Mustangs is particularly humorous, as i ran into a very healthy running, slightly modded (I/E/Gears, etc) Fox body. We went out to run from a dig at a light, and someone decided to ride shotgun in the Fox body to film the race. Light turned green, and my primary barely even spooled (bad vacuum hose leak, all fixed now :) ). Long story short, this guy absolutely LEFT me. Put 2+ cars on me right out of the hole. I short-shifted my way to 2nd, got even with him, hit 3rd and blew past him like he dropped anchor. We did a U-turn, and went again, this time with my primary not even spooling and a heat soaked bone stock intercooler. This time he put 5+ cars on me out of the hole, and once again come 3rd gear i blew past him like he was standing still :D Best part was my car was stock *with* boost issues :D Darril |
