my dad...
 

ok my dad is goin to be goin to Biflo or w/e and is gonna be racing some of his work friends in my old 98 v6 and says he will get 17's but if i go with the GT, i wont get lower than 15...he said he will bet me cash...lol and he keeps sayn sh*t about getting CAI and gaining 10% HP....rofllll

wut should i bet him if i go?

That's a tough one.Can you drive :)

the women, the children, the livestock...

bet him rims or exhaust or something...

lol, idk but i wanna try to practice launching sumhow before goin...i could bet him if i win he buys me a K&N CAI. and if he wins ill buy him a cheapo CAI from MT, the 70dollar one...lol?

he still thinks his car would beat me with him jhaving CAI+SUPERCHIP+EXHAUST....i said ok? :icon_bs:

Let him get all of that and tell him when you win you want all that for the GT :)

Intakes are worthless, spend the money on something better like gears or a tuner.

lol...and its funny, he wants my sisyer in the car with him (she weighs 300pounds_ thats like wut 3/10ths of a sec. gone cause of that? rofl...i weigh 140 in my GT and them at a total of 500 in a v6....lolllllllllllll

its not hard to launch...lol ur an automatic just push the pedal to make it go

true but i dont want tires to be spinning...:(

Won't matter you will still beat him BAD!!

lol, thats true...but i GOTTA get under 15 or ill hear it for along time...lol

dude your dad sounds like a ricer! lol j/p

but yeah just find an empty open road where no potential animals can run up in your business and mess you up and see what you can do. try different launching techniques and get it to where you have a balance of it hooking up and not spinning. it'll be different at the track but you'll get the idea of where you'll need to make adjustments. make sure in the bet you get a few passes in to make that time, that way you can adjust for the track.

10% is actualy within the realm of possiblity... I can bet a 10 at a minium... I dont know why you guys can't read dyno charts????

lol, its alright, he doesnt like ford neways, he loves chevy...but the car is his so he wants to race his buddies from work in there sh*t cars....lol he can have his fun...if i go, itll be my first time at a track..ill be noooooooob

it should be the same concept as with a manual, just don't let the engine bounce off the rev limiter...smooth accel. and dump it in 1st...then you know how to make ur shifts...

And track conditions are always better... atleast around here, you wouldnt be able to practise launching unless you personally sweeped and cleaned the street yourself, there is sand and **** everywhere... goddamn New England.. :censored:

oh yeah and a cai will not add 10 hp on our cars, sorry

oh no, not 10HP, if i said wrong i meant 10PERCENT HP gain...but still rofl...ill let him have his fun

A 10% gain is even more than 10HP. Aren't the 98 V6's 160HP? That'd be 16HP. Either way he's wrong.

You would have to go half throttle down the track to run a 15 or higher. Just make it easy on yourself: roll up to the light, dont even stall it up.. just launch off of idle, and keep the peddle to the floor. You will win, trust me.

shouldnt i just have it in drive, foot on brake, at like 2-3K RPMs and then let go and floor it when its green/ or just wreck him from idle?

No, that would cause a lot of unecessary wheelspin. The only thing you have to really worry about is launch timing, and even if you really messed that up you'd still beat him. I think it's funny that he thinks he'll win even though you've got 100 more HP than he does... :rolleyes:

lol yea...but w/e ill let him thin the 98 is fast when i KNO its slow...i drove it...i kno lol

What day?.......I might be able to make it out...no new mods to try but it would be fun

lol, i think this weekend, maybe fri night, but im not totally sure on when he wants to go...ill let u kno ice
