I would definatly agree, for safty yes, but also there is no accuracy at all if done any place other than a timed track, otherwise it would just be two imature kids playing on the street.

OhOh

PBJ mentioned the 'i' word. Seems appropriate for street racers?

Yeah, it gets me around.

If the 4.9 and the N2O 2.8 want to get something handed to them both, I'll be in Pensacola/Mobile area this weekend.

Punch the gas and feel the back step sideways; rip off a powershift and hear the tires punished by torque; downshift, lift off and feel the engine braking that comes only from big cubes, listen to the pop and gurgle. Know that you are driving an American V8. There are finer engines made, but none that are this cool.

Will I would absolutely looooooove to run you. So your engine is back togethor and running well?

Can it be videod? 10-15 mph roll on first gear?

I wouldn't mind having the video posted on here for all to see.

Its quite a drive up there but hell this hurricane is going to pound us. wouldnt' be a bad time to get out of here. And what better excuse to run a n-star fiero!!

It's back together and in the car. How well it runs remains to be seen. I'm reorganizing the wiring harness and I have to finish a few more things on that and put it back in the car before I can start it. Can you believe that the Northstar has a lighter more compact harness than the 2.8 did?

We can do it however you want. There are a few good places around P'cola/Mobile as well as a couple of 1/8 mile strips. I'd like to get a couple from a dead stop, 'cause I'm guessing you don't hit your N2O off the line

Sure.

It's a longer drive for me. I went from Pensacola to Miami once and that was 10+ hours (not in the Fiero...)

This is kind of interesting.

You have one guy over 1200 miles from another guy challenging him to a drag race.

Guy number one will only race somebody if it is strictly illegal and unofficial.

Guy number two will only race if it is official and legal.

Of course you can guarantee you never have to race anybody who is credible if you insist on illegal activity as the prerequisite, and you are in another jurisdiction.

Gee, I wonder how it affects one's livelihood to have to spend time in jail and come out with no car and no licence? Glad I haven't been there, myself.

Maybe if we collectively click our heels we'll all wake up in reality
