He kept saying stall converter so I figured it was an auto :?

 

Hehe sorry I don't know what that is....care to enlighten me?

 

It's part of an automatic transmission that allows the engine to decouple from the rest of the drivetrain at slow speeds, eliminating the need for a clutch. Second, the slip that’s built into the converter not only lets the engine rev immediately into its powerband, it also allows this slipping action to multiply the engine’s torque. This explains the abnormally sky-high torque curves often generated by an auto trans car on a chassis dyno. So even though many of our favorite slush boxes only have four or five forward gears, the converter adds some effective gear multiplication to get the car out of the hole faster.

 

Thanx!

 

No problem

 

i hope to see one on the market soon - other wise its off to the custome tranny shop - so i didnt mention the tranny i had in my tC

 

I call BS on these ETs if your car is an auto. Your 60ft is hurting. Walking a 2nd gen Rx7 (non turbo) and a V6 Mustang isnt a great accomplishment by any means either. both of those cars run mid- high 16s...

 

nice times, did you get a copy of your slip?

 

yes i have my slip but no scanner - sorry if u dont believe me
and i dont know when u drove an rx-7 last but mine stock ran a 15.7 so ther goes ur mid -high 16- timing- u must suck at driving to pull some crappy times like that or jusdge them that slow

 

Oh, I see that the mod deleted my post...maybe my language was a little too much for the forum...

I'll clean it up.

What's with the attitude? I just asked a simple question, never did I say "Dude, you're a liar." Where do you get "so ther goes ur mid-high 16- timing"? I have never said anything about times.

 

can't we all just get along????

 

Dude, he was talking to the other guy (BrianXB). Apperently he's the one who doesn't believe the times....I wanna see his xB times tho

On another note, geez what's up with everyone. Seems like everyone has something up their ___ lately. This is supposed to be a loving nurturing community damnit! (Yes I know I am a hypocrite )

 

we are supposd to get along, we all love our cars....but we all hate on eachother
for some reason(i kno i am at fault sometimes)

wtf???

 

hmm, you would think he would use the QUOTE button if he was referring to someone else.

 

so the numbers above are actually an auto, huh? how much faster could a 5spd be?

 

depends on the driver

 

yeah its a low - mid 15 sec car but im sure there r some 16 and 17 sec. drivers out there ----- sorry i didnt make my self clear on who i was talkin to man - my appologies - i would like to see the xB times too ---- lol

 

1. I did not buy my xB to drag race it because:
a. Im not a moron- its an xB.
b. I grew bored of drag racing.
2. You can get off of your soapbox. Your car is not fast by any means when it comes to sport compact drag racing. This is reality. Hell, my last car wasnt even that competitive, but you know what? It wouldve blown your doors off. - 2002 Celica GTS I/E, 01 GTS ECM- 14.4 @ 97mph. The car was full interior and loaded with factory options that made it the heaviest GTS availible and you would see the taillights. The day you can keep up with ETs like that is a day when you can start feeling competitive- aka - when you attend an NHRA event you don have to run in the ET class because your car is slow. Dont challenge me when it comes to knowledge of drag racing or cars in general because Ive probably forgotten more than youll ever know. Anyone who knows me will tell you this.
3. I can drive. In fact I can drive circles around you. A 2.4 60ft is horrible. Ive consistently pulled low 2.1 60 fts on street tires day in and day out on in all the FWD cars Ive owned. So once again, dont open your mouth up unless you can back it up.
4. Speaking of backing it up, Eric asked you for a timeslip and you get all ____y? Hmm sounds fishy to me... Prove your times. Thats all he asked.


(Moderators- Im not trying to flame this poor uneducated kid. Im just setting him straight. I typed this post in calm manner, it is not mean to be defensive in tone. It is a civil debate between myself and him.)

 

eh...

 

brian u cant quit drag racing - u can do show and drag just need 2 cars thats all - i love making show cars to my last car was a show car - 2001 saturn 3 door coupe pushin twin 10" JL w7's @ 2000 watts --- talk about desible level - i hit 187 dB's cleanly no rattles --- i invested way to much money in that lil saturn only to turn around and strip it all out and buy a new car - but i like my new investment cuz it is still new to the car sceen - keep racin and bassin man
