.2 seconds in t he 1/4 mi is the equivalent to two cars...so it's more like 4 - 4.5 cars assuming the guy could get his T/A running 13.0, most likely he can pull a 13.5 since he doesn't sound like that great of a driver to begin with. So now you're down to about 1 - 1.5 car lengths. The s2k gets a 2 car jump and that's the race (Especially with the spoon exhaust helping at peak RPMS)....i believe it ! good kill i hate V8's too even though I still have one.(not for long)

 

woops....2 seconds in the 1/4 mi is the equivalent to ONE car...i defeated my own argument in the previous post with that damn typo!

 

At 100mph, you're covering 147ft/sec.
So .2 sec = 30 ft.
Divide that into car lengths as you see fit

 

DuessTT,

First of all to say I lied is absolute BULL *HIT on your part. I don't race too much and I admit I don't know tons about cars. But I call it like I see it. I've lost PLENTY of times and have ZERO problem admitting it. That night, for whatever reason (whether the guy sucked at driving, his car blew up half way through the race, or he was on crack while driving) I beat him by more than a car. I know it was a Ram Air and it was a LS1. Pappy(and you have no reason to believe him either) was there also, so you can ask him. Actually he knows a lot more about cars than I do, so he's the one that told me it was a LS1.

We went from a dead stop, I dropped it @ 7,000-7,500 and to be honest I don't remember what we raced up to, but I'm pretty sure it was somewhere in 3rd around 75 MPH. Don't remember exactly. I have no problem discussing cars and which cars are faster/better or whatever. I know there are plenty of cars better than the S2K. But to call my story BS and essentially me a liar, is IGNORANT and just plain STUPID.

It's logical and everyone pretty much knows that a modded Ram Air with ~350 HP would beat my almost stock S2K in a 1/4 mile hands down. But it made the kill all the more sweeter for me.

 

ok,now its making sense you guys only run to 75.that car just starts to shine at that speed.cool good kill then red blue.dont mind me i just call as i see it and with that missing information it didnt make sense.and just to make a side point i never said his car better then yours.both cars very nice.i dont own either but would gladly open my garage for both in a perfect world.

 

uh a spoon exhaust disqualifies you from calling you s2k stock

 

NEXXUS...... DEUSS...... Was up? no supraforums today ? i've seen you post duess but not nexus... Nexxus where do you live.. are you the josh that works at MVP... anyway it was good to see fellow Supra drivers in here... Adios..ohh BTW im gonna go with duess here i think that it might have been a v6 with a ram-air hood... dont be shocked i raced one a while back and thoguht that it was a true ram air only to find out after i turned down my music after destroying it that it was a look alike... .. i told him he was a jackass for impersonating a WS-6 and that he should think about getting a mini copper... haha no really it might have been another one of those you never know .. unless you heard that hellish rumble from the exhaust.. anyway i dotn know what to make of the story.... laters

 

taking some time away from supraforums its turning into a soap opera lately instead of a good source of tech information.just browsing internet learning about other cars out there.cya talk to ya later.

 

You're absolutely right. And to be honest when I raced that Ram Air, I don't remember if I had the Spoon Exhaust yet. I think I did, though...

 

No worries Duess. I don't race a lot to begin with but racing at hight speeds is not my thing. When I start to get up there it seems too dangerous for me and gets me nervous as hell...
