u shouldnt be too surprised because the admin have been in this section a few times saying the same thing. every street race thread started has some self righteous dude on a power trip coming in and setting up their streetcorner pulpit against the act. There is really no need to say something so condescending and then finish it off with a "grow up". Its disgustingly ironic an u really just look like a ******. the truth is no, i have never been in even a 10 second car. hopefully my TA hits 11s this year, and if so then i can finally say ive been in something faster than a 12 second car. Im not sure what ur point is. Im very proud of you for owning a 9 second car. Gold star? not really sure what ur looking for.

notice i said "every race thread". sorry to come down on u, but there are a few guys on this forum whose sole purpose in life is to search for street race threads and take a dump in them. the thread wasnt about "should i or should i not street race in a 45mph zone", it was a "i killed an eclipse, yay!". How about we just agree to stay on topic?

there wasnt any promotion or endorsing, i simply said it is not ur place to come in here and flame him for it. camaroforums.com would never endorse any type of law breaking like speeding, street racing, or circumventing emissions with a gutted cat :D

The help is apprciated big nic, but importmd was just voicing his opinion and he did it respecfully as did I. I think he is alright. Hes not trying to start anything.

It is a 408 iron block LS V8 with AFR big port heads, the short block was built by Horsepower Engineering, 11.6 compression. FAST manifold, Kochs headers, Tyranasaurous cam, etc. 540 RWHP NA with the QTP electric cutouts open, and a 275 shot NOS system (adds 245 RWHP but close to 320 RWT) in stages. The car is licensed and streetable, although with a full roll cage, no sound insulation, subframe, locker rear axle, Spec III clutch, and solid motor mounts, it is not a daily driver by any means. Fun to cruise in though.

Short night tonight. Light rain came in about 9:30, and ondrag radials it is just a handful getting home.

Spec, not to come down on you but your first post was a little caustic. To tell you the truth this is the first time I've seen Lee Willis condemn a streetrace, and I think that doing 105 in a 45 is a little irresponsable as well. In defense of Lee Willis, he isn't on a power trip or a street pulpit by any means and he is extremely knowledgable in the tech sections when he posts there.

Now that we're all friends again...:D

Lee it's good to see you around every once in a while, you should come back more often!

I agree, inner city racing is a bad idea, but ive done well over 105 in a 45, but my 45 was divided by a concrete barrier and had no intersections for over a mile :D. like i said, i wasnt trying to exactly call out willis, but the fact remains that the street/strip section is not a place for people who are overly vocal against street racing.

damn, what did i stir up[>:]

and to be fast in a FWD car off the line, to acheive those numbers, requires more skill than it does in a v6 3.8.. so you'll see alot more eclipses being beat on the street.

RE: Turbo Eclipse KILL,,, Story
 

man, you guys will fight this to the death..you win and so do your v6 camaros

RE: Turbo Eclipse KILL,,, Story
 

i dont disagree that eclipses are fast.. just for the average joe, a stock v6 camaro will beat a eclipse, it would prolly be different proffesionally driven, and deffently different mod for mod or money for money.

TAKE THAT BACK OR IM COMMIN AT YOU!!
