The engine swap is comming along nicely Eric! I got everything out last night. Had to pick up some tranny fluid and a water pump gasket this morning. Assuming all goes as well as last night, I will be back on the road later today!
BTW...There is no way that I was talking about you and your T-Type Eric. Buick Turbos rock. As for a stock AWD DSM not beating a stock Mustang, I'm sorry but I have to continue the argument further. A new stock awd was supposed to run very low 15's on average. I believe a new stock Mustang Fox body was supposed to run about 14.6 on average. Case closed. But how do these stories of unmodded DSM's come around about beating Mustangs? They get old! Older engines obviously don't have the pull they did right off the show room floor. Take for instance Dan's '93 GSX with very little mods if even free mods, just kicked the crap out of an 87ish Mustang GT automatic like two weeks ago. Sure the Mustang had an automatic, but it sounds good...just doesn't get down the road like it used to. While at the same time I know that Dan's GSX will pull a 14.8 or so on the G-tech. Discount that all you want but the proof is in the race. Some cars are better than average and some are worse. However, I am completely miffed why you have so little respect for your AWD William. Cars have different abilities from one to the next, even in the same model. When you start modding the variable increase exponentially. Unless your Bill Clinton, defining the exact meaning of a particular word or mod will get you no where. So with that in mind, I raced Joshes FWD at the track (US 41). We both were running similar HP levels, but on that particular run I beat him by about a half second. After studying the run I realized that win was made on the launch. My 60ft time was .5 seconds better than his, and although he pulled just as hard as me and a little more in different areas, he never made up that ground. If it were not for the launch my car would be 1/2 second slower in the quater. Now tell me that is not substantial. No comparison needed, ask anyone if they would like their car to be a half second faster with the same HP? YEAH baby...AWD rocks! Or at leat the ones I've seen do. I have to see this GVR4 run, maybe theres something wrong with it? :twisted: Marcus awd4kicks |
