v6 vs. Charger R/T
So last night, I'm heading back from the store and i'm cruising next to this new charger.. orange with painted stripes..nice rims and an exhaust..i'm like whatever.
Get up to a light, and its this older guy..and hes look at my car..so i'm like "what the hell, quick little light to light" Turn the bottle on.. we both go on the green..just cruising.. at about 25 he punches it, and I punch it with him, WOT switch kicks in and I hang even with him. Get up to the next like, compliment eachother, tell him my car is a 6 and hes shocked, says he might have to do something like that with a newer mustang, lol. Made my turn, went home. |

Lol. I've beat an R/T in my Mustang. All N/A....it was pretty close though, but I though he would've smoked me.

The newer mustangs (05+s) I have seen run 13s stock. So doesn't suprise me you beat one. Last season at the track I barely broke 14s..don't really know whats changed..
I'm just running a 75 shot (wet) atm.. still sitting around building up cash for the gears/posi to go in, then it'll be off to the dyno to get tuned for the 100 shot. After that I'm done with it.. if I want more speed I'll buy a 05+ GT or Bullit and shoot nitrous through that. Newer mustangs have loads of potential off just a 100 shot. Me and my buddy kit and he runs 11.4s ..gears, nitrous, tune. |

Nitrous is the best for cheap HP, I love mine. I bet if you had gone from a lower speed you would of beaten him.

I cant wait for spray
|
I just don't get the mindset of people who use spray...I'm n/a for life, you'd sooner catch me dead than with spray. I don't know why, I think those fast and the furious movies ruined it for me.

I have run up on a lot of S197's with nitrous in the Cobra and got pulled on pretty nice (never lost though). Good luck with the posi and everything. |

Why would you want to be n/a when you can go so much faster with any kind of power adder, that's what is really retarded. My car is about to hit 4 years on a 125/150 shot; 3 of which were untuned. I have handed a good number of cars there asses on the bottle and counting. People can hate on it all they want, its a power adder just like any forced induction. Only its much cheaper to get setup and going, and makes torque like no other. |
I agree with Spike. I'll never spray mine, because I want to supercharge it and leave it at that, but I do understand how easy nitrous is to install and run, and what a HUGE difference it makes. Plus it's just hella fun to see a v6 keep up with an R/T. But 4 years Spike? My god man, you must really take care of your car!

Sweet dude. Which gears you going for, 4.10's?

the mindset for spray? lol a s/c setup wrong can be just as bad as nitrous setup wrong... by the way when you go to the speedway and see camaros and fox's running 9's and 10's and say damn thats one sick car.. they are using spray.. most of them atleast. |
I've had a nitrous kit sitting in my room for the past 4 years and never hooked it up. It's still for sale BTW. I'd hook it up if it was useful for autocross, and if my car wasn't fast enough for me as it sits as a daily driver.

spray done right is 100 percent safe if the driver takes the time to learn how to use it.

Stephen, try as you might you'd sooner catch me on the back of a flying pig than with spray. Nothing against those of you who use it, it's just not for me.

What if I just said "I am never going to change my rims. You all might like it, but I absolutely 100% refuse to change my rims. It's never going to happen. All these people with 22s on their cadillacs killed it for me. You'll sooner catch me dead than with some aftermarket rims." |
Then that is your opinions on aftermarket rims, end of story. I understand your curiosity, but not everything needs an explanation. Some things are the way they are just because. There doesn't always have to be a reason.

The more you use nitrous the more it costs and a 75 bucks a tank it can get expensive quick if you want power often. It's a hassle to have to go and get a bottle refilled when you run out. The closest place that deals with it by me is a 30 min drive from me. that an hour in the car wasting gas for a combined 15 minutes of 75 dollar fun juice in a tank. Yes you can get more tanks but then the price builds even more. If I pay for more power I want it at my right foots beck and call all the time.
I have no fear of nitrous I am just impatient |
I don't have a "fear of nitrous" if that's what you're implying, I just refuse to use it on my vehicles. Simple as that.
|
$75 for a nitrous fill, you need to find a new place. I paid $28 a week ago, and a new place now does it for $1.50 a lb that's right $15 plus tax to fill a bottle.
The reason we don't get why you wont use it is because people say they would add a supercharger, but nitrous is a no no yet it does the same thing for less money. |
