12.27 @ 114 on a 1.8 60 ft. light bolt ons, full interior and half a wardrobe, stock tires up front, BFGs out back, UNTUNED. Could you tell me more about your car set up when you ran your 12.0?

Keep telling yourself whatever you need to to make yourself feel better about Tommy driving your car to a 12.27

Yes, my car was full bolt-ons minus a TC with seats removed and slicks/skinnies, but I was going for the first bolt-on 4th gen A4 with a stock tranny to hit 11s.

For the record, I cut a 1.79 60, launching at 1400 rpms, full interior, no pulley, stock k-member, front sway bar on, stock A-arms, stock TB, stock plugs and wires, stock cats, stock water pump, 1/2 a tank of gas, TT2s up front that weigh more than your tires stock on 16' T/A rims out back with BFG Dr's with me driving :roll:

OK, well Im glad that you are happy with your car. Its an auto. A monkey could drive and get the same results. Or perhaps you could put a brick on the pedal and it would work just as well. I would love to let you take a pass in my car to see just what you turn with it since your such a skilled driver. :roll: :fireguns:

Hey guys... can I come to play?

I guess I would be central Jersey... but I'm slow :(

Rob, you wanna line up? I might miss a shift :lol:

1. I never said I was a skilled driver
2. You talking about me not having driving skills is hillarious, since you don't have any and anyone that knows how to drive a stick can cut a 1.8xx 60 on Drs(no I'm not talking about Tommy)
3. My lowly auto saw a 1.8 60 on stock street tires
4. Comparing ETs from a stick and an auto is pointless anyways since everyone knows that sticks dyno/trap better than autos since they can launch at higher rpms.
5. If I could launch my car at the rpm Tommy launched at, I would be sitting around 11.6-7

I just want to apologize to everyone for jumping off topic.

1. Obviously, you own an auto
2. Last time I checked it required some skill to get a 12.5
3. My M6 saw a 2.1 60 ft woOt!
4. Should we not compare them because they are differant colors?
5. You had the option to buy the M6 so you too could be launching higher.

Alex, you know I will race you, but even if you will miss a shift you will still smoke me by 3 cars 8)

:roll:
Atleast I'm not trying to make my car a fake purple SS

Oh, he went there. :shock: :lol:

:D

:wavey:

Dont be hatin the purple people eater!

Last time I checked your camaro didn't come stock with a Cartek clutch

No it didnt. My trans is still 100% stock. I could start nit picking all the things on your car that I dont have.

It's not nit picking. You said you had a stock tranny, isn't the clutch part of your tranny?

The bottom line is even under the most strict terms, my car IS a bolt on car.

Well, in all fairness an aftermarket clutch still falls under 'bolt ons', even a new or rebuilt trans, as long as it's still a stock style (ie: a T-56 or 4L60E), is still classified as 'stock' or bolt on. :)

I'm in Union County, closest to E-town but I only race at Atco, am I 'South' or 'Central':?: :oops: :D

join central...we kick arse :lol:

East Brunswick would def. be central Jersey, and yes, we are more than happy to have you come play :D

I never said your car wasn't a bolt-on only car. Â*You said you had a 100% stock tranny, the clutch is part of your tranny, you have a cartek clutch = Â*not stock = no stock tranny.

That's like me saying I have a stock tranny, but I have a 3600 stall = not stock

If it didn't come from the factory with a cartek clutch then it's not stock.

Everything I've ever put onto my car has bolted on. The new motor BOLTED into the factory motor mounts, the TH350 BOLTED to the new motor's bellhousing, factory crossmember, and driveshaft, the Dana 44 BOLTED into the rear suspension. I sure as hell have never welded anything onto/into my car ...so, saying you have a "bolton" car is a silly arguement to be brickering back and forth over because its something you cant really define. This "battle" should be about....

1) North vs South
2) RUN WHAT YOUR BRUNG HOPE YOU BRUNG ENOUGH! Dont have as many "boltons" as whoever? Sucks to be you, go home.

Sorry about that whole arguement everyone.

:twisted: 8)

Wow someone must be stupid. What is the trans fused to the clutch? They are to seperate parts. It has nothing to do with the trans being stock or not. Jersey TA sorry a bolt on car is almost as fast as your cammed car. Don't hate on Ali cause she has a fast car.

How about... lets save it for the spring, men :-D
And my 60ft time of almost 2.98 OWNS :-D <<<jk

Hey Joe, I ran 12.08 with bolt-ons only with a stock TC. Â*If you would look at my sig you would know that. Â*I went 11.93 when it was 15 degrees warmer, otherwise I would have a faster time. Â*I think the hating is on the other end of the computer. Â*Maybe you should be directing more of your attention to cartek to get your Vette fixed since it's been sitting there for weeks.
