my brother how is real big in drag raceing has a 1969 dodge dart with a 655 cu"engine with a supercharger it has 2700 hp or more not sure (there are more modifications but do not wont to list them) this dart can run low 6 s 1/4 mile times olny fibreglass is the hood thats it. fasest time 5.99 s 1/4 mile. not street legal. very fast.

I have to ask couple of things now about that. I've been looking those races for some time.. and today a ~3500hp alchy burning Pro Mods are doing best a 6's or just below 6's in 1/4.. and they are mostly aerodynamic cars with all the chassis/tracs done.
So how the hell that "block" dart can do 5.99 in 1/4.. ya should participate into Pro Mod series and be a champ!! Not that I wouldn't believe those numbers BUT they do not match all in all to my opinion.

That car was parked near our tent last year, so after giving it all the grief for the 22"s, side markers, and funky paint job, we decided to check it out.�

you guys are forgetting the Mazda RX7 and the Toyota Supra - hey - if a Supra is considered a Viper Killer with a few simple mods, and an RX7 is considered a Supra killer( and vice versa ) - I've seen MANY a Supra run low 9s with over 700hp with just exhaust, air intake, ecu, and a big ass turbo upgrade

:laughup: :laughing: Yeah sure mate, thats the problem they CAN'T and never will go as low as the V8s, they just don't have the capacity to HOLD true power, when they start to get close (yeah right) they'll blow up......

Japanese cars blow more seals than eskimos (or Osama).

Its all about the mighty dollar. Show me one import that can run in he 13's without 30 grand into it. I watched a show on either Spped or Spike about tunning imports and they averaged 45G by the time all the body kits and so on was put on the car. The sad thing about it was they were running high 13's at best and were happy about it! Anyone can put a car into the 11's or 10's with enough money. Its all about the money. I'll put my car into the low 10's for under 15G. That's the big difference. If they need so much cash just to compete, is that worth mentioning? Or is it embarrassing. I lined up against a number of those things and not one was even worth remebering as a race. It can getting pretty boring beating the hell out those cars. One idiot tried me ut 4 times with a Typhoon on NOS. He lost. Every time. You think he would quit after the first two. Not that there aren't any fast imports. There's a Mitsubishi Type R that would kill me with an 11.2 sec past. I'm in the low 12's so thats about 20 car lengths I think. But the car starts out at 50G's. Give me half of that to put into my car and lets play. I'm not goiing to beat this to death any more than I already have. But that's why I still think the best 1/4 mile car was the 1990 5.0 Mustang. For the money you couldn't build anything that gave you so much in return for you investment. Any comments?

lol you really want to see import in 13's without 30K in it? if so let me know and ill send you hundreds

Carlwalski · « **Reply #95 on:** July 18, 2005 - 01:04:59 PM »

30K is over the top......but with 30+ years tech inside these light weight cars they aren't really doing too much. :yawn:
Doesn't bother me, 80% of them are weight, nothing more. Light weight cars with low litre engines. Simple maths.
Like farting and making a Coke can move. :laughing: Muscle on the other hand is something else BIG cars with BIG power going fast.

All cars are capable of doing 10 seconds.
If there was a 10 second Honda or a 10 second Challenger I know what keys I'd have in my hand.

lol no hard feelings, but thats most uneducated post Ive read on here, mitsubishi type R? didnt know they made mitsu type R and imports costed 45K just to run 13's, man... someone really doesnt know ****.
theres plenty of fast cars, domestic AND import. theyve got less hp but theyre lighter, handle better, better fuel economy, we got heavy suckers but you can put 440 with some bolt ons and run 13s with a daily driver. they can put turbo on their 4 cyl's and kill most v8's ...the key is money, if you got it then you can make anything that you like fast.

Carlwalski · « **Reply #98 on:** July 31, 2005 - 08:23:21 PM »

The key is there light. End of story. I wouldn't be proud about running a light car with an "ok" engine. :yawn:
It's not the engine that's making it fast it's the weight of the car allowing the engine.
Yeah, I know thats how todays cars are made weight/power ratio but still. :yawn:
I don't mind some of the Japs, R32 is a nice car as long as some punk doesn't rice it out with strobe lights etc.... :ack:

Thing is most of the new cars SHOULD beat on the Muscle cars, LIGHT and 30+ years of tech on their side.
Still, most of these cars can't compare and on the highway is where most of the Muscle cars are in their own class.

Hey Silver RT,
�My sincerest apologies about the Type O. I should have posted "MR". For Mitsubishi Lancer EVO MR. Specifically noting a model called the FQ 400 reaching the price tag I noted. If you need more info on the automobile I'll be happy to hold your hand and send you a link of the report.
�Regarding the smart ass comment about the level of education of the posting, I would strongly suggest you check your grammatical etiquette before posting that embarrassment to the English language you call a reply. I wasn't aware that such a high level accuracy was to be achieved before posting information. I would strongly suggest you read through some of the other posts before coming to any conclusions about education.
�In the end you only ended up stating the exact same conclusion I mentioned in my reply, which was not malicious in intent to anyone.

have you ever noticed the number of civics that say "type R"?

is it just me, or was the type R only released in japan?

Hey guys, we all have opinions, but when we start with the personal attacks, you cross over the line to unacceptability on this board.� No flaming here!

The type R was only released in Japan. However, there are a handfull of real type R's in America, as well as a few clones. Of course, the vast majority of cars with the type R sticker are just stock cars with a sticker and a bodykit.

mopar_guy333 · « **Reply #103 on:** August 01, 2005 - 03:53:53 PM »

most just have the type R sticker on them
