lol poor results from traction problems?
we're able to get 250+ whp Jettas and Golfs down the track pretty well.... SRT4 guys pwn you in torque and seam to do it pretty well too.... just have to learn how to launch and drive...and for god sakes get some drag radials at least.... i'm not saying that traction isn't a problem at all...but its not as big as you try and make it out to be... QUOTE you know what he means. hes talking about from a roll, which is what most "street racing" is LOL yes please go tell someone you drive a 12 second car "from a 35mph roll on" stick to the context kiddo and side note "most street racing" in the DC metro area and surrounding is from a DIG so i wouldn't try blanket comments but this is getting off topic from the point of "you can't say its a X second car if it hasn't been able to go X seconds so far" racing on paper is for dummies This post has been edited by playr158: Mar 21, 2007 - 2:00 PM |

The "claimed" srt-4 1/4mile time is 13.50 with slicks, ive never personally seen a stock srt-4 break a 13 without slicks on their cars. all fwd cars have traction issues. If you see none of those fast cars at the track are fwd, cause they blow asshole. Traction issues are issues in any car that makes over like 150hp (thats not your car)  So when is your celica gonna stop looking like the turd i rolled out of my ass last night? And when is it actually going to be fast? kthx |
