It is. It's a blast to sit at.I thought the finish line was the most brutal if both cars got there under full power
At Bristol there's no shade down there.I thought the finish line was the most brutal if both cars got there under full power
My wife and kid went to the Gateway Dirt Nationals and had a blast.
Different kind of brutal but yes, summer heat without shade sucksHonestly, the most brutal place is across the track in the stands facing the sun. Damn hot over there.

Fuckin' passenger pilots and their Miatas - did you get hired at Delta?Track miata is coming together slowly.

That car deserves 1. LS swap and 2. RE71RS or HooHoos
Lol, 1.3 inches of valve lift. That’s absurdAlways thought Mike Moran's custom build had a ton of promise but you dont hear much about them nowadays..?

Highly agree. Even Jeremy Clarkson said a fwd can be a blast but anything over 300hp you get horrible torque steer, making it slow on a race track, and horrible grip making it slow on a drag strip. Mainly pointless. I wouldn't mind a civic or mini for like a cheap track toy, but not a serious contender for anything.Anything that's fast is cool.
I never understood the import tuner crowd though. I just don't get the fixation on displacement. The 3L 2jz weighs the same, if not more than the 7.4L ls7. I could see the appeal the 3L engine produced the same power at 40% of the weight but that's not the case. I don't see a logical argument against the old adage that there's no replacement for displacement. It's undeniably true unless you're comparing apples to hand grenades (ie, forced induction to NA.)
The front wheel drive, 500+ hp four banger crowd is a weird bunch. I look at them the same way I look at people that put ketchup on steak.
The flat crank LT6 in the new Z06 looks like it's gonna be the bees knees. One of those in a 2200lb kit like the Ultima RS would make for an absolute track monster.
I was thinking the same thing, I'm relatively new here, but I don't think we have any women on this site. The small percentage we might have are probably crazy to put up with all of us.You're a cougar?

I will say Kia has come a long way. My first car was a 2000 Kia sephia. Ugly as sin, but my mom being German said" (insert heavy german accent) NO son of mine will not know how to drive a mannnuall".Bought this yesterday for my 16 yo daughter. Only car I ever paid cash for. 2023 Kia Rio S.
I think the brochure said a whopping 125hp !

You don’t have like 4/6 to appreciate them. I’m not a big import guy, but I’d go 2JZ if I decided to be.
You tuber I watch put a 2JZ in his Camaro to troll people.
That style has been growing on me lately.Very nice my one bike looked exactly the same when I got it 1992 correct View attachment 7986320
I've got a MK6 GTI with 220ish hp and I really don't see a need for more. If you're flooring it in a straight line you're using the car wrong. Straight lines are just the boring intermissions between corners.Highly agree. Even Jeremy Clarkson said a fwd can be a blast but anything over 300hp you get horrible torque steer, making it slow on a race track, and horrible grip making it slow on a drag strip.
650-700hp is the most powerful thing I've sat in. Still got bored of going straight real quick.Going fast in a straight line is only exciting with an absurd amount of power
Yeah, I’d much rather drive a road course or in the mountains. You have to be wired a certain way to be really into drag racing. My dad and uncle have been drag racing for about 40yrs and can’t stop themselves. I can help in the pits and as long as there’s shit to do I’m fine. If I have to sit in the stands and try to watch I’m asleep almost immediately, just like I am at a nascar race650-700hp is the most powerful thing I've sat in. Still got bored of going straight real quick.

I’m currently trying to figure out a way to quiet my hooptie down without slowing it down...As I have gotten older, I appreciate quiet powerful vehs that don’t require you to be wired to drive them hard. As I posted before, I have had my drum brake big block fix a long time ago and it just doesn’t make me warm and fuzzy anymore.
I got the exhaust done on my Camaro SS. Thing is dead quiet now. Don’t know or care how much horsepower I lost. Even a 10% loss I’m still over 400 horsepower.I’m currently trying to figure out a way to quiet my hooptie down without slowing it down...
because it’s way sneakier and enjoyable if it’s quiet.
Put some headers with cutouts on them. Drive with full exhaust everyday, then when some jackass challenges you to a dual, open them shits up on the start lineI’m currently trying to figure out a way to quiet my hooptie down without slowing it down...

In your scenario the only interesting part about the straight is exiting one corner then entering another. So the corner is still the star of the show.If you don't have enough horsepower, maybe. When the straights start with some counter-steering and end with a couple rapid heal-toe downshifts, they are rather entertaining.
I am only 44 and can’t believe I am saying this but I agree with you… but I have been working on very loud engines for a long time now.As I have gotten older, I appreciate quiet powerful vehs that don’t require you to be wired to drive them hard. As I posted before, I have had my drum brake big block fix a long time ago and it just doesn’t make me warm and fuzzy anymore.
I mean, who could not like 2JZ's??? - Richard@CST
First H-Pattern Stick shift in the 6's and now second quickest at 6.69@221mph

Put another spinny muffler on it. Hard to quiet the whistle though.I’m currently trying to figure out a way to quiet my hooptie down without slowing it down...
