haha I know, what an idiot!! Did you see those stats?

How on earth can someone expect to win when the other guy has close to 150 more hp AND torque than him? I don't think the 400lbs less curb-weight for the Z is enough to expect to compensate for that kind of a power difference. That's just wishful thinking...
AND did you see that time he ran?

16.624 @ 97 mph?!??!!!

:m_lol: BUWwhwahahaahaha!
 
lol yeah, meanwhile the 'stang does it in 12....

I don't even think he had a chip in it or anything to manage the fuel differently. Probably why he didn't even reach 100mph

I like how he mentions the fact the he put on 19' rims on too, like that's gonna help him win the match in his completely underpowered car LOL
 
i say we go for it no joke it'd be nice to see NT in the spotlight... any1 down....
I don't even know who we'd vote to go?

I guess the question is, who's Tiburon is worthy of our reputation?????

Dun, Dun, Dun!
 
Location is going to be a BIG proponent.

We could have the worlds BEST Tiburon in one spot but if there's no way of he/she getting their car and themselves to the event, it's pointless.

We'll just have to send the best Tib in the area.

And Honestly, screw big HP numbers. It's a best 2 of 3 even so send something that will utterly SPANK the other car in the autocross and slalom.

BTW, that Viper running that sub 7 sec slalom was AMAZING. I was shocked. And the guy driving the Corvette just sucked @ driving.

Time to bring in tiburon_blanco with his Puerto Rican drag beast...

I believe this weekend should be good...

Yeah with his 580hp tibby, he should be racing against that '11 GT mustang to make it fair. I think if they put him up against an eclipse, he might have to take two tires off, and drive with his calipers grinding, to make the competition equal.

But for real guys any suggestion on someone to nominate for this? or is anyone interested? NT needs some spot light.
 
The drag race is only 1/3rd of the pointage though lol. I mean, that Supra was faster in a straight line than the Ford GT, but it was all horsepower no handling and the GT beat it easily on the autocross and slalom tests. Something more balanced would be better I would think, since its not like they would put a tib up against a Viper or anything. If someone actually does get on there, it'll likely be against an eclipse or a civic or something similarly slow.
 
Yes, Tiburon_Blanco was the first I thought of for this, except for his location...

What do you think about a Scion TC against a tibby? or Maybe an SRT-4? would make for a good show if the tib running was TC'd.

Tib vs. that D-bag with the 350Z LOL

I would love to see him lose a second time!

Also, just a side not that Viper ACR is a beautiful machine. And they are discontinuing the Viper till 2012 or something like that. When they re-release it it will have LSD and all kind of high tech applications. So if you want a 600hp "sexy" golf cart now would be your chance to get one. That is if you can afford the 125k price tag.

:m_lol: BUWwhwahahaahaha!
I'm pretty sure I was faster than that stock Tiburon... How sad is that?

:3_nosthum 350z driver FTW!
 
Yeah that would be a decent matchup.
 
Great Idea!

I've got an 04 stocker. 2.7L 5sp manual

So you all kick in a few bucks and mod my car to be bestest at all 3 events!

See that?! Problem solved!:lolzer:
 
I'd love to see a our car up against another in a official competition compared to just street races. IMO it could go up against some other good cars especially if it was SC.
 
Yeah for sure. A Sniper supercharged GT with coilovers, fat tires, strut bars, and some weight reduction could probably beat a lightly modded Celica GT-S at any one of those events. And that's not even talking something widebody with an Assasin S/C or a hardcore turbo'ed I4.
 
LOL I just watched the Corvette vs.Viper.

I LOL'd when the guy with the Viper was talking about the Corvette on the slalom and was like, "I'm sure his problems were clutch related" and he did the thing for quotation marks with his fingers when he said "clutch related" ahahaha
 
We had a few people from my other forum do this.

anyone who wants to do it, i can put you in direct contact with the guy who organizes it
