8sec RWD Street Import...why no one?

[BeesTwinEG]

but that is how it is at events like rsd

bahh street actions are little better.

bahh street actions are little better.

Why? To me it's a waste of time as anything bad can happen. So to the guy who spends a TON of time and research to set up his car correctly, he could run into a patch of oil from a leaky truck, and wreck his/her car. Let alone losing licenses.

You need to stop watching Fast N the furious movies and start trying to race in true fwd drag series.

not into 8seconds cars ... i'm 99.9% sure you will not catch traction on street anyhow. Supras are nice but I still won't buy one.
Bee will be buildin somthing rwd/awd soon but he haven't decide it yet
for me I will stick with my Honda FWD for now.

Are you sure about that? I'm not 100% sure what the Fox Body runs 8s or 9s but seems like it does get traction. CLICKY LINK

Hell, I think I even beat Mark around that time when we were over on Park Place way back in the day.

A #1700 car with driver requires about 500hp for 8's.

A 4-link properly weighted RWD will cut 1.1's with little
more than 300hp at the wheel on launch. An auto is the
obvious choice.

Done the math a 100 times but actualy finishing something
is a battle with beer every summer.

Oh yeah, Fixed

[240nspec]

well Liz you'll be pushin high 11's to mid 12's soon right?

[Flicktitty]

Nah, That shit's weak it's only a 6cly...

maybe 14's.....on a good day.

[boostaddict14]

I run 9's






In the 1/8th with a strong back wind.

I mean really in all honesty guys with the fastest imports on here Tim, Bee,simon,waldo,Tri and Dave are all grown ass men and make a good living. Most of us in the import community are still students, and or working, trying to figure out where we're going in life and aren't making good money especially to fund an 8sec street car. I have plans to make a high power car in my future but really 8's??? 9's is super fast on the street pretty much untouchable but 8's costs sooo much more money to hit than 9's on a 4-6cyl engine.

^^Stayed in school and finishing all the shits that you have to do. No need for high hp car, all you need is a nice well handling car. Take it to road of america have fun with it
Just my .2cents

[tommyboy]

[boostin350z]

in all honesty, if i could have had the chance to either keep my money or buy + build the z... id rather keep the money. id say i put as much into it as the car cost, and that disgusts me, especially when i factor in that i could have had a downpayment on a property or 2, and have something that some day will bring me money in my pocket, not a drivable liability.

I want to see an 8 second S4.

It's a dream...I know.

isn't there a guy in NY that has a blue mid 9second one?

[1siksrt]

Someday I want to take a light mopar like a colt and go rwd, with a srt4 motor pushing 1000ish whp...Its been done with alot lower power #'s, but I would go nuts...

[Taetsch Z-24]

My chose for a import, if i got another one (after all, my GTO is a import) would be a Ford Escort.


But a 8 sec import, as in "honda".... Lots of money.
