Once again another thread that I just dont understand. I mean come on we all are in this game together. Any engine can be modded to run good or even better than what people think. If I run a 13.5 I will be happy. Its a Fiero and we post and talk on here for a reason. Can we just stop the bsing about this. What I dont get is why this guy has to lie about this. Just have fun with your car and stuff. You built a beatiful engine and stuff just enjoy it all its an awesome setup. -Amir ------------------

This completely ruins it for everyone. Who is going to believe any good timeslips now? I feel for Fiero X if he does post a 10 sec slip because no one will believe it or it will be scrutinized to death. Why would someone post false numbers when the 11 sec runs were impressive enuff. GREEDY! Now, I must say, I don't believe anything this character posted! I knew it was BS the moment I laid eyes on the slip. If you are an experienced racer, which many are on this forum you can tell the numbers are inaccurate. Which makes you wonder what made him think he could get away with this?
I have to laugh at those that were congratulating him, what a laugh!
The "right first" means that the right line crossed the finish line first. That car redlighted, so he had a headstart. Right there you can see the numbers are false. If he ran a 10.6, he woulda crossed first, or the margin woulda been closer.

If you look at the slips, his car is 3 tenths SLOWER then the car next to him until the final 1/4 mile time! Forget about reaction times, it doesn't matter! The time is from when you leave to the finish, reaction time has NOTHING to do with that. [This message has been edited by NOS3800 (edited 08-30-2003).]

What's all the hub bub. No matter what you have somebody elses car will always be quicker/faster. Heck even John Force gets beaten at times. A SBC always can be hot rodded up to produce more power than a SC3800. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out(in the broad sense of the word I was rocket scientist). I have a SC3800 and prefer it over a SBC but I'm sure a worked on SBC will leave me in the weeds- so who cares. I get better mileage anyway. Any Fiero with over 200 RWHP is going to blow the doors off most any stock ( and a few nonstock) cars on the road. ------------------

Na, cause i back up my claims with videos. And I also will have everything 100% ready to go 10's and Im thinking of having our Kansas get together that month at the track, so Ill have the backup of about 15 guys from our club that can vouch for me. This will happen, and this will happen soon. Im excited. I just hope my tranny is excited as I am, cause its been getting lazy lately.

A 3.4" pulley on an otherwise stock SC3800 will give you 221.7 RWHP (5 sp)

Fiero X just hit on the best solution - have credible eyewitnesses there when you do your damage. Best case scenario have a few of your own posse, a few from another camp who are not so crazy about you, and a few who really don't give a flying fart. With a half dozen to a dozen reports from all three sides of the story there shouldn't be too much controversy. perk

You know, it's really quite sad that it even has to come to this, all this planning on who is going to watch you make your record setting pass. Oh well, it happens I guess.

Man I feel like an idiot. I guess it's my fault, I thought people could be honest so I didn't bother looking for the flags on that timeslip. JStrickers math made sense to me.
Which leads me to this question, why bother lying? A) You felt crappy about your LT4 not being able to hang with some of the other guys here? b) You don't have an LT4? C) A practical joke?
