saturn redline = the sexiest sleeper ever lol. I had a v8 trans am come up to me one day and said you want to race. I was like yeah sure he was all cocky like he would win. I raped him by cars with my tvs. LOL then after words he wouldnt even pull next to me to talk cars he just drove off and parked by himself.

What I am trying to say is that your theory doesn't add up. From what I have read you are basically saying that the car with more power will win? Here are the numbers from Eric's Ion from last week.

If peak HP/TQ numbers were tell-tale about how a car performed on the streets/track then we wouldn't need phrases like "Dyno-Queen". The TC guys that think their higher HP numbers mean they're automatically faster are in for a surprise (as was demonstrated in the video). It's always comical how people try to compare how a car will perform against another based on solely on HP or TQ. That's like comparing which sprinter is faster based on how much weight he can squat.

Lol
LOL wow haha
EBristol you really did want to stir the pot...lol
Can't we all just beat up on import cars haha
You got everbody freaking out now haha
First and foremost we did it for fun....and NO we didn't smack talk each other. I know E85 is high octane so that was in the back of my head....i figured he'd be in the 230's for hp.
As far as our runs go the 3RD is the only one that mattered.
ALL RUNS....i forgot to turn COMPETITION mode on hahaha, and didn't NO-lift shift for ANY run
1ST run: Neither of us honked and we went at like 30ish....i think i just went after you started haha
2ND run: I missed 3rd...lol not no-lift shifting just good ole mistake haha
3RD run: Good run man! We were neck and neck until i shifted to 4th early...thats when you see me drop off.
I don't think i was even holding out all of them to FULL redline either....our power kind of drops off at around 5500ish anyway....that and I never really race people at all.
If I was running 105oct and custom tune that crap would be nuts.
If I had an LSJ the only way to go would be CORN!!!!!
I hate so keep this rivalry going, but...^^what he said haha
You guys need to settle down....think of it as a joke between friends...talk so much smack, but in the end all we want to do is beat hondas.

I like to poke fun at the SS/TC guys because they automatically think their cars are so much better because of the turbo. I am glad I finally got to run one just see what they are all about.

I figured you would bring your ricer excuses to this thread! lol jk
Its all good man. Thanks for exhaust and thanks for the runs. I honestly thought I was going lose.
If I am ever out that way again we can try again so you can fix all those mistakes! lol
I kid! I kid!

IDK
The second run was our best start. I almost put a full car on him before he missed his shift.
In the third run he was half a car ahead of me, got a slim jump and I still pulled half a car on him at the top of 3rd.
Maybe watch the video again?

lol what? that car is making at least 275-280whp and like 240ish tq. don't doubt the LSJ
#94
oh i c yeah the body style and the suicide doors is what made me love the car and they are super rare. I see balts all over the place but only see a redline every few months.

When I bought my car the salesperson called them R.A.D. (Rear Access Doors) doors. They are pretty rad!
#98
I EMBRACE the LSJ!
....nobody could probably notice my homage to the supercharged baltz. I got two Turbocharged badges and placed them under the side door SS's like the old car use to have....i don't MOCK i embrace!
My friend who was with me was the very same one who Test Drove and in the VERY same town I might add a 2006 supercharged balt in blue with Recaro seats and the works!....we had such a good time...although it could've use an LSD....wholly one wheel wonder.
LOL good times!
...on a side note...my parents HHR is flex fuel E85.....i'm trying to convince them to convert and get some more spunk out of that 2.2 hahaha...
....(WAY off topic!!)...getting my oil changed at a shop i'm friends with, they just had a kid in with 2006 balt....it grenaded the timing chain....lol SUCKEY....they couldn't remember if I had a 2.2....yeaaa Noooo

Again. I like talking smack. Its all good.
