  • Racing this saturday.... but what car to take?

    Bird isn't an option..... a very small portion of the wiring harness needs to be replaced and I haven't had time/ money to get the parts

    So:

    Option 1: 2004 Dodge neon - cold air kit, full SRT4 exhaust, engine mount inserts, rear strut. With just the cold air kit it went 15.7

    Option 2: 2007 Mercedes-Benz E350 - stock, my 2006 went 14.3 at 96.... the 07 has the same engine/ tranny combo but feels quicker

    Option 3: 2002 Hyundai Elentra - 1 billion miles on it.... air silencer removed and k&n air filter/ warm air kit added!



    The event I am going to is based on consistency... not speed. Typically slower cars dominate this event.

    The neon is manual so consistency could be iffy

    The benz is dead consistent.... but my fiance may want to race that car (it's hers now)

    The elentra is dead slow.... depressingly slow....but probably consistent.... it is my fiance's old car.... and she made 1 pass in it many years ago and it went a blistering 17.7 in the 1/4



    Comments?

    And yes..... I REALLY wanted to run the bird.... really REALLY wanted to.... but no luck till next year. The car is old... and non modified bits are breaking now.... ugh!

    what part on the wiring harness? I have a spare harness I grab stuff off of from a 00+ car. Let me know. We need to get that bird racing again. You haven't raced it with nitrous this year have ya?

      sounds like you have a busy Winter with the Bird.

      as far as the race........steal the Benz.

        Take the Elantra and be a sleeper.

        You can take a couple of Civics with that car.

                      Couldn't you just sell some more smack (or whatever you do that gets you so much money ;)) and buy a new car to take?

                      If not i'd take the Hyundai so you get the most time per run and bang for buck :)

                          Benz will be there no matter what..... I just don't know if my fiance or me will be racing it.

                          If she doesn't want to race... then I'm runnnig the benz.

                          If she is running the benz... then I have the neon or elentra.

                          Sigh.... I want to run the bird!

                              If I had the parts.... it would be fixed.

                              I have no parts.
