What will I run in the 1/8th???

[CHRISB]

I have a 95 3.4L 5 speed with the following mods:

TB Bypass
Moroso CAI
Flowmaster Delta 40 2.25" single outlet
19mm rear swaybar
1 piece steel drive shaft
245/50 ZR 16 Bridgestone RE-730's

Everything else is stock. Should I take out the rear seats and spare tire? I have never run before. I am a kick @$$ driver, so it's all on the car.

Haha I love the kids that say "I'm a kick *** driver" when they've never been to the track. I'd say with your super duper driving skills you'll probably nail a mid 10 in the 1/8, maybe an 11. Rather than asking what you'll run because each car is different, just go run.

PS: My 95 3.4 M5 ran a 9.9 @ 66.56 so when you do run it compare and see how ya did ;)

Yea take out that back seat because that 16 pounds is going to make you go so much faster. Good idea.

[CHRISB]

Kiss my @$$. Both of you. Assuming that I'm a kid :rolleyes: . I just said I'm a good driver because I can take off without tire spin and I know how to shift and handle my car. And that measly 16 lbs of weight will be better off the car than on ;) . By the way, the back seats, the spare and the jack are alot more than 16lbs. I just want to know what a stock 3.4 manual runs and what difference my mods will make. If all I get is jack@$$'s like you answering, then sorry I asked. I am sick and tired of every goddamn post I make being smart-assed by people like you. Don't pre-judge me and just give me a straight answer. It seems like the only people on this board who get respect are the same old names I see day in day out. The popular names always get help. Someone who doesn't post alot, screw them?
If I have to put up with this crap everytime I post, then I would just assume not to. Think about this. If you treat every new or unknown member like this, the board will never grow :( .

Hey, take a breather...

Check out the timeslips page:
http://timeslips.firebirdv6.com

It will help give you some idea.. not much 1/8th stuff there though..

You really can't compare your car to others though, location and weather conditions play a huge factor in how well you do.

I know you get loads of submissions, but any idea when you're gonna be updating the timeslip page?

Well I'm assuming you're still running on the stock 3.23 open diff and in that case I don't know how the hell you take off w/out tire spin unless your car is vastly underpowered. I have 3.73 LSD in mine and still spin. I gave you a pretty straight forward answer. I'd bet you'd run a mid 10 - low 11 in the 1/8th. But like I said, all cars are different and like Keith said weather and track conditions are a HUGE factor. So go run and tell us how you did.

HEY MAGNUS

I'm just tired of getting cynical answers from everyone when I post. I think the admin needs to inform everyone of the politeness required on the boards. Please address this for me. All I ever get from some post is pure garbage [img]graemlins/bs.gif[/img] . I try to be polite to everyone here, and all I get is spit in my face :mad: . I'm just sick of it!!!

[CHRISB]

Well now that I'm done blowing off steam [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img] . I just meant that when I take off, I don't just floor it and spin [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] until I hook. I modulate the clutch and gas and I don't give it full throttle until the car has started to have forward motion and the clutch is fully engaged. If I drive well, I'm expecting decent times.

[Magnus]

I updated all sections of the page but the na 3.8 section, that will be done hopefully tonight.

ChrisB, I agree with you.. the responses were negative, however you did not make things any better with an even worse attitude.

We are here to help, not to attack eachother.

IMO I would control tire spin with throttle not clutch. Save you some money on replacing a clutch. Just some constructive critisism [img]smile.gif[/img]
