These statements contradict. The TC had both on the Ion.

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!!!!!

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.

The other thing to consider is that the ION may have had more "Aftermarket Mods" but the SS/TC has more factory mods. Like DI, different gearing in the trans and a TURBO!!!!!

That was an experimental tune on a dyno day since they would not let me flash on different tunes between my 3 runs. During these runs I had a different timing table and I am running 11.8 afr instead of 10.5 like in those dyno results.

Thank you.

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.

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?

When I bought my car the salesperson called them R.A.D. (Rear Access Doors) doors. They are pretty rad!

^^^...i know your not talking about me ^^^

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

I actually saw the thread you started about paying homage to the SS/SC. I thought it was pretty cool.

Again. I like talking smack. Its all good.
