Or if you have raced eachother, who won?? - Jeff L. hard to tell. all my stuff is done at sea level. dans at 5000+ feet. if we were to be side by side, i think i would have a slight advantage because of headers, but i have a huge disadvantage too, i got a 4door, which is more weight. plus, im a big guy too i need to lose some weight, then ill hit 13s easily edit: whoops ive just been informed he has a sedan, my bad. ive always thought his was a 2 door, lol im still bigger then him though, so weight is playing a role :/edit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 I thought Dan (sl3196) had a 4 door as well?? Maybe I'm wrong lol. That would be an interesting race So John, did you get your car all tuned up and running good?? IIRC you were having some problems KR...hopefully you got it all worked out ! - Jeff L.

sl3196 Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 John you tard. Mine is heavier too I have a sunroof and subs in the trunk. (would take the subs out at the track) I'm also around 230lbs right now so probably as big as you hehe. I don't have a new time to compare with his yet. I run at 4,900ft so I would probably run .8-.9 tenths faster at sea level. I think it would be pretty close between us right now. I have a smaller pulley but he has the headers and d/p. Hard to say.

WhiteMonteZZZ Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Two questions: That yellow 6th gen MC in your first pic - what'd he run if you caught it? I met the guy at Michigan Int'l Speedway at a Monte Carlo meet there and was curious what his car ran. (Provided it's the same car - sure as heck looks it). Also, if you redlight (call me a newb for this), even tho you automatically lose the race, can ya still run it flat out in the 1/4? If so, your timeslip would still show the 1/4 time right?

terryk2003 Posted May 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 i'm not sure about times on that yellow monte... YES, if you redlight you'll still get timed in the 1/4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john99gtp Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 it was an NA monte, i believe he was around 15 or so. looked really good. and yes, if you redlight, you can still run it out and get timed. it will just say that you fouled, but still get a time.
