steve's cosworth vega.
you want an adreline rush, it will be 2 g's large
When you said You Vs Steve... I was like wtf.... What the hell is Bob Vila driving these days...
Then I read that quote... And proceeded to spit my Boddington beer all over the table.
Does he really think a fuckin Vega is going to beat an E46 M?
the question is...will that M be able to keep up with a Z?
from what I know, he's got already half bald new tires that are 255/35/19 in the back 225/40/19 in front....a chip, an exhaust, and some driving skill. His car stock should pull a low 13 sec in the drags..but thats a new car, with a pro driver doing the testing for a company. IF he dips into the 12's...then I'm a little scared...nah...not really.
The Z will have according to the rules...DOT tires, so I'll get the best DOT tires available...the same tires that comes on lambos...230 mph rated ZR's... with 245/35/15's on the front, 345/35/15s on the back, the contact patch and grip is already double.. His treadwear is rated at 220, mine are rated at 140...so I'll have more grip...even if he buys new tires....they still have to be DOT...and all he has are 19" rims. Then add a t3/t4 turbo to the 3.0L Z engine, use the Haltec I already have on the car, tune from 4-500hp with the help of bigger injectors, and the car was already raced for 7 years at Walkins Glen, so it's already setup decently for stiffness, brakes, and LSD. The only thing I don't have is experiance on a road course, or at the drag strip...and since the events will be spaced out over various week-ends...I'll be able to swap out the 3.59 diff from the roadrace event, and swap in the 4.11 diff for the autocross and drags. The T3/t4 turbo can be swapped with a t3 to spool faster for the autocross. And since the Z is 30 years old, it doesn't need emmisions to get registered and plated. So it can drive up to the event, as is, compete, and prolly get towed away by AAA after each event. All thats needed is just one good run to make the fastest time. And I'll get some seat time at my buddies track if he can sneak me in.
Collecting Steve's and B's money will be fun....along with all the other participants money....I'm stoked.

noah has no say.
he doesnt have a car that he can run.
he couldnt even beat a stock civic with a coupe Si.
B and I are the only ones that are going to be able to win this

hmmmm now buying an evo sounds even better. hehe
Chris, your mirage will be nimble on the autocross course, you might have a chance on the drag strip...but your not going to have any fun on the road race, and thats where the Z and the M will walk over everything. Unless you get lower profile wheels, a wider stance, and a little more HP than just 160 ponies..... Just ask E, his sol on lime rock at any speeds over 120mph is just hairy....one slip, one corner too tight and your going into the fields or barriers...it's not a track that likes normal car going faster than what they were designed for. The M was made for the Autobahn, and the Z was made for Walkins Glen.. I'll give B a run for his money on the road race, and the autoscross I'll have more contact patch, stickier rubber, and a lower/wider stance.... drags I could give a shit about, because I already know that my setup would pop me into the 11's if tuned right, and I learned the art of driving straight.
This event should never happen...everyone will hate me when I take all their money..
