you arent kiddin. also after watching the tape they still didnt want to pay up. they even threatened to burn the tchargers car down.i was standing where the finishline video was shot from. it was intense.

 

So what all was done to the other car? It got a damn good launch for being a street race.

which one the t/a? the t/a had a 7.0l 427cid motor, heads, cam, and some big full blown slicks. also supposedly a 150 shot.

i dont really have specs on the eclipse as they are keeping them pretty secret. what i do know is the eclipse was running the stock driveshaft because they broke a supposed 1000hp driveshaft that night on the dyno tuning before the race. it was also running a set of kuhmo zrated tires because the slicks they ordered along with the driveshaft hadnt come in.

 

OK the slicks explains the way that RWD launched so hard. Whats the TA supposed to run on the track?

hop in the chat and ill give you all the details i know

 

Eclipse won by about a car length.

That turbo the guys are holding up at the end of the movie is HUGE!

 

Someone find out whats done to that eclipse

I guess the TA crowd had a lil engine size adv, eh? 7.0L? compared to 2.0L

 

Also, how could they debate that, its on fucking video. Besides, with what that TA has got, they should be embarrassed the Eclipse can stay next to them , let alone BEAT THEM! Ha, chalk one up for the 4 cylinders. What a bunch of losers at MTI. Someone go post that video on LS1.com and corvette forums.

 

dont be mistaken. it wasnt an MTI shop car or anything. they are using the motor from MTI. MTI makes some awesome motors just the tchargers car is absolutley insane.

 

Hello all. The race is done, the boys w/ the T/A are ducking and hiding and we get to chalk one up for the world of DSMs. Here are a few comments and answers to a few of your questions.

1) The 1G was on ~40lb street tires and wheels. The T/A had all out slicks (not ET drag radials, but slicks).

2) Turbochargers brought out a car. Not a car and street. For those that don't know what the flames are that is traction compound. Basically "hook-up" in a can, sprayed onto the track, and then lit to promote super-gumminess. Ever step in hot tar or melting asphalt?

3) It really just shows the ignorance of our beloved car world. Maybe it's b/c we start as the underdogs and work up do we fear and respect the V8 counterparts. Yeah I crack about the HP to liter ratio and the horrible gas milage, but in the end a turbocharged V8 designed for that setup is straight scary and mega cool sounding. grumble grumble grumble . . . . whooosh

4) Good luck in finding out about Tchargers ride. It's hush hush . . .

Anyways, hoped everyone loved the fun.

 

"That Turbo they are holding at the end is huge "
Chris Tommy & I took that picture for the MTI guys that happened to watch the video...
I'm holding the turbo & the can'O'whoopass
Chris is pointing to it .... just so the V-8 guys know the can is coming...
There will probably be a follow up.

I hate dishonest people. Fuck them. Someone post this on one of the f-body boards and throw up a link, I want to see what they have to say.

 

There have been posts on:

www.ls1tech.com

www.h-s-r-a.com

www.hotrodgossip.com

Look under Kills section or domestics vs. imports. Not many disputing after the vids went live.

 

errrrrrrr i need DSL damnt! anyway enough of my bitchin, that T/A sounded bad ass, but the eclipse must be a damn beast, anyone wondering if they are running the 2.3 or 2.4 stroker motor?????? looks like im gonna have to have a friend download the vid for me and burn it so i can watch it!!!

 

Great video, and to add insult to injury BigBADGSX, your missing out It was obvious the DSM won, why the hell couldn't they just pay up!

 

....

Just take it to the Track. The lights don't lie about who got to the other end 1st.

 

That has to be one of the best street racing vids of all time. I went over to LS1tech.com and they threads over there crack me up. There is a thread with all of the LS1 guys claiming they won because the DSM let off before the agreed upon finish. Then they posted the video in another thread which clearly showed them agreeing upon the finish and the DSM in front well after it. It's funny how none of the LS1 guys in the first thread made an appearance after the vid was posted.

 

Ahh the 3D's of losing a street race. Duck, dive and dodge when it comes to time to admit you lost. I thought the best part was when they were shown the video and still refused to admit they lost.

 

HA! Those guys are in denial. THATS the typical, I said TYPICAL V8 guy response. They cant take losing, especially to an import, but you know if they won they'd be shit talking, the import guys keep their mouths shut. I cant stand those guys.

 

It is a stock displacement 2.0 Liter.

I totally agree.

Me either, and that's the typical crowd I deal with around where I live. Which is why I bought my DSM.
