Well we are tring to get Zaion (Turbo V6) to face Ruben (NGM Assesin V6) in an "epic" showdown. Both are confident that there cars will be the winner. Ruben says that Zaion's car is whack and that it produces its 400whp claim at 6500 rpms... while Zaion claims that Ruben's car will get murdered and that it's all about the tune and not the $$$.

We will have a min. of 3 passes...

FIRST PASS - from a dig

SECOND PASS - on the gear/rpm that Ruben says

THIRD PASS - on the gear/rpm that Zaion says

For those of you that don't know the cars... here is a quick "Tale of the Tapes"

In the BLUE corner representing...

we will have Ruben sporting a 2003 Assasin V6 with built block and ALOT if not ALL of the NGM goodies

And in the RED corner Representing..

SOO... people place your bets... we will be recording this race once all the parties are ready (Zaion is 100% ready and Ruben comes back from Asia) and will be on PPV... passes will be done at the track during "street nights" in which the drives can race from a dig or from a roll.... This time the question WILL be answered... :3_devil_w :3_smiliec :3_lurk:

they will run at the track... but it's better if they run on a monday that we have "street nights". It mainly consists of drag racing, but without the clocks. They can line up and gun it at the same time, from a row in any gear or what ever they want.

I have been known to do that as well. He is probably just as sure as I am that Zaion will get completely smoked hehehe.

What kind of boost is each of them making? Sure the roots will walk from the dig but can the turbo catch up in the later gears when your spending more time close to red line that's the real question.

Ruben its going to smoke Zaion on first and second, but Im convinced that Ruben will read Zaion's license plate when he shifts third and fourth.
PD: I would like to see that race on the road better than on the track.
nada personal solo mi opinion suerte a los dos...go speed unit crew!!

MP90 supercharged 2.7L with a built block pushing out probably 400whp vs a stock block turbocharged 2.7L pushing out probably 400whp?

Is this true?

If so, the supercharged car will win by a mile. It's called "usable power under the curve", and it's what defines acceleration. If a supercharged and turbocharged engine have the same peak power, pending equal traction, the supercharged one will win EVERY TIME.

think about something else....ruben has 400whp on a low compression motor. so on the same compressioned motor as stock, he's actually pushing more power.

even if ruben had less power....id put my money down on ruben. i've seen plenty enough of similarly hp cars, but just different setups (s/c vs. turbos) and the trq of the s/c pulled victorious every time.

remember one thing also....if they wind up doin 1/4 mile runs....ur 1/4 IS ur 60'.....zaion would never have enough time to catch up if they were just doing 1/4 mile passes from a dig (given ruben comes out as hard as he potentially could).

and honestly, i see this more of being a pissing match between a NGM car and NGM haters, rather than just one 400whp tib vs. another 400whp tib. this'll turn into a huge flame war...i can tell u right now, b/c of the haters.

otherwise it would be nice to see the difference between the 2, REGUARDLESS of who won.

but the pissing contest is gonna kill this whole thing. mark my words. ...it almost already has.

one more thing....dont go comparing boost levels on a turbo to a roots blower. the turbo WILL make more power on less boost, just b/c of its efficiency vs. a roots blower. so zaion, dont even try talkin shyt bout boost levels when u already know bout the efficiency difference.

again...its already turned into a pissing contest.

I think Ruben has less than 400whp... either way it will be an interesting match due to the curve he has. MB you're right... THIS IS a pissing contest! That is no secret to us nor you guys. That's why it's interesting. Ruben is FULL NGM, he even sells TC's parts over here... while Zaion is the oposite. This will be great, because of the pissing contest.... none of them want to lose, but one will.

THIS WILL BE GREAT.

Hell.... if you analize a little more, you can actually say that this might be a battle of 2 "FL" shops...

Ruben representing NGM and Zaion representing CFT (since Nesta is brother with the owner)....

but thats not how i will think of it b/c thats not what it is. its about someone who supports a company who has done almost everything for the aftermarket of the tib....and others who are just haters and all day long all they have to say is 'err ur prices are too high'.

and im sorry, but this being a pissing contest does NOT make it interesting. it just makes the whole idea seem very childish. period. reguardless of who wins, B/C it IS a pissing contest, then u know the loser is going to be bickering about it and what not...

....although, i have to say...i doubt ruben will be on here *****ing bout anything....just doesnt seem like he's that kind of person. .....zaion on the other hand...well.....its pretty obvious...

ok I see... well Ruben is soft spoken guy that I doubt will be here fussing. If he loses he will say it and if he wins he probably won't say anything. I think he's just like that. Zaion on the other hand has too much time on his hand and win/lose/draw will have something to say.

I don't look at it as a pissing contest the way you do. Over at our part of the forum we have been in and out of this alot and sometime they have said some harsh things to eachother only to talk to eachother at the meets. That's just the way we are... we talk sh1t over the net and call eachother over the phone to ask advice.

see, and thats completely fine. but my point is on here it WILL blow up....whether it be b/c of zaion....or just other ngm lovers/haters.

i just dont wanna see it come to that, thats all, reguardless of who wins. competition is always a good thing, aslong as its respectable and on a mature level.

sigh...

since when is "me vs ruben" a "ngm vs haters"?

and so due to me not agreeing with ngm prices I'm a ngm hater... goes to show the very narrow line of thought you have...

and to each his own really... i dont care about talking since none of you know whats up with either car so... let the race talk really

mines better, you are turning this into a pissing contest already...

and who says i go out of the dig without boost :) for real, sometimes i think people here dont even know how a turbo car works in a drag race

the fact that ur attacking me bc u dislike the truth that i stated shows exactly the kind of person you are.

thats all i have to say.

...i was right.

I hope you both have drag radials, do the races from a dig at the track. That way we can see 60' times, 1/8 mile times/mph and 1/4 mile times/mph. Anything else is just silly, roll racing is for ricers.

If you both have good tires then it will be a good fair race.

Lol I did not mean that to sound harsh. If you can not document the times and not go from a stop then yes it is not real racing. It is just playing on the interstate.

Damn, couldn't two guys with two cars, (same make BTW), just frickn race! I realize it's competition and all, but this CAN be fun, you know, "just for grins", hey one wins one loses, guess what, you both run home or to the shop and do what comes naturally, WORK ON YOUR CAR! You know, make it better. You know if you have enough time to have a pissing match on line, you have wasted time you could be making your car better, or doing your girl friend LOL, at least these two are going to race, not just piss at each other! Good luck!
