Who has the fastest car here?

[Demon-Xanth]

Hmmm....

500HP Viper
425HP 300C and potentially Viper based Chrysler
400HP GTO
400 and 500HP 'Vettes
300, and soon to be a 450HP Mustang

I'd say the target market span for a new RX7 is spread with torquey goodness. The RX7 better have more to bring to the table than just "something unique".

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

I think I win.

 

[JDub02]

a friend of mine is dropping a new Cartek motor into his 2003 Vette. He's claiming 700+ hp and 9's in the 1/4. That's fast. :Q

Sorry dude, but I call bigtime shens. The SE starts off at 190 hp and a turbo sure as hell ain't gonna add no 260 hp. Not even with every mod possible.

My engine puts down 400+ hp and it started at 135hp.

That's fine. I have no idea what kind of car you have but there is nothing that you can do to the Maxima's base engine to get that. Now if you dropped something else in there, maybe, but then is it really a Maxima anymore?

That's a completely igorant statement, I'm assuming u don't know what engine is in the 89-94 gxe. It's the VG30e. Before u make anymore incompetent statements, do a search on google. The VG30e is the same engine that is in the 84-89 300zx turbo and non turbo. It's also in the same family as VG30de which is what is in the 90-96 300zx turbo and non turbos. Go to www.z31.com and see how many people with 84-89 300zx(which i will repeat, is the same engine as the one in my brother's maxima) are putting down 350-600whp(that's at the wheels, not the crank rating) with the STOCK bottom end. Even the maxima with the VQ30de engine (which is in the same family as the VQ35, which is in the 350z) have been achieving power levels of 350-560whp. So i do highly recommend that u do more research. There are ppl with d series hondas running low 11's. That motor is about 100hp at the crank, stock. Let me add that the VG30 is an iron block V6 that has been proven to take 23psi on the stock block(properly intercooled, of course). Do u read any magazines such as import tuner, superstreet or any import magazine? There's one guy who runs 6 seconds in the 1/4 mile with an 86 300zx.....guess what engine he has....it's a VG. So, any car can be made fast, Hell there are 11 second minivans, so why can't a maxima be fast? Google is ur friend.

www.maxima.org go the the turbocharged/supercharged section
www.z31.com learn about the VG engine
www.twinturbo.net learn more about the VG engine
www.google.com search is ur friend

*cough*BULLSHIT*cough*...You do realize the NHRA Pro Stock world record is only 6.633@208.23mph right? These are full on professional drag cars displacing 500cid and there is nothing even remotely streetable about them, If this 86 300ZX even resembles anything at all "streetable" he is not even close to the 6's thru the quarter.

Went ahead and did a bit of searching and this is the closest I can come up with to a "6 second 300ZX", it's also listed as an '86 so I'm assuming this is the one you were talking about. Like I figured...a full on drag car and 7.67 is a world away from 6.xx when you are talking about ETs that low. It's got about as much in common with any stock engine Nissan produces as I do to an olympic track gold medalist simply because we both have legs.

 

[Sphexi]

I got an '86 Toyota truck. At 55mph it starts to shake real bad, and my life flashes before my eyes.

 

[myusername]

quarter mile? dunnno. I got 0-60 down to 8.5 from 9.5. Gotta stroke and or blow it next when I gots the $$

I'm sorry, that was just a # from the top of my head, i know he was extremely fast. I had to go look it up really quick. His times were 7.678, he qualified # 1 in his class twice in the NHRA, his name is cesar febus. Do a search online to find out more about his z. The whole point of that was to let the other guy know what the VG engine is capable of not about what the world record. And who said anything about streetable? i was just replying to someone who said that there is no way u could get 450hp from a maxima. If it could be done w/ a dodge caravan, it can be done on just about anything.


Edit: i see u did some research and saw what i was talking about? And once again, I apologize for saying 6 seconds, i didn't have the magazine in hand when i posted. And who mentioned that this guy was running a stock block? Most ppl that run stock blocks don't run nearly as much boost and only have 350-550whp. Once again, the point of my earlier post is to show the other guy that no matter what vehicle u have, with enough time and money it can be fast. It's not impossible to have 450hp in a maxima.

Didn't really intend to jump down your throat quite so badly, I just assumed due to the nature of this particular forum we were talking about cars that were at least somewhat streetable, even if it's just barely.

Quick is doing a respectable 1/8 or 1/4 mile.

Fast is topping out at 160-200+ on the "funway" (errr Autobahn )

Quick is all that matters, really. You can have a car that's geared for a high top speed, but how often can you use it? Not very.
But you can take that same car, gear it to accelerate, and have much more fun with it.

Wrx.
the stock edition not the Sti but ive got a few mods.
Intake bigger turbo, cams, headers, timing belt, lowered, potenza tires (very sticky!),blow off valve. cant remember anything else.
all i can say is its darn fast, i can take a 90 degree turn at like 75 without slowing

BS FLAG raised.

you should lower it... because my wrx is set up for 10's

edit: pics ill have to get a pic of my time slip when i can.. no scanner or cam, and webcam sucks too bad, and the one with the rollcage isnt mine.. but its the same for suspension

"Set up for 10's" and "I have actually run in the 10's" are two different things.

The point was still made and the engine is still a 3.0 with single turbo. Streetable? No but it is also a far cry from the mere 450hp that someone said a VG30 couldn't make. I have no doubt it could make 450 hp and still be streetable.

You have to take it within the context of the discussion. It is very clear they were originally talking about street driven vehicles, at no point in the discussion between them did anyone indicate a shift to pure drag cars. At no point in Thin Lizzy's post did he mention hp achived over ~600, which is the first thing that flew up the BS flag in my head because 600hp isn't even going to sniff 6's in the quarter. Further he made a comment about a "STOCK bottom end". So when he then jumps straight to commenting about a 6 second "86" (<-model year also another unintended indicator he's talking about at least a somewhat streetable car, most cars that far removed from an actual street car tend to be called X generation bodied cars) 300zx, you can probably see why I thought he might be involved in shens (that never goes on in ATOT talking about cars does it???). Also, I'm guessing that motor ain't running a stock bottom end.

Oh I agree that the facts weren't spot on bu he was replying to the statement:

"Sorry dude, but I call bigtime shens. The SE starts off at 190 hp and a turbo sure as hell ain't gonna add no 260 hp. Not even with every mod possible."

Now it's not that I doubt you, however, these mods take a hell of a lot of money to do and you first state that you need to do your clutch and second you state that you need to do a suspension. How come you have no money for these things? Pics of your car?

Pics soon... need to clean off friggin tree pollen on black car. ARGH!!

Actually, I purchased the car with those mods on it... and funny thing is, I do all my own work anywho, so the cost isn't quite as high as you might imagine. You forget, it is a DSM... and that's one thing DSMs can do is go fast for real cheap. This isn't a POS Honduh, it's POS DSM. Spend 10K on a Honda, I spend 5K for the same result. Domestics are even cheaper... bastards!

Car is driveable and the clutch is capable of holding the power, my main concern is taking the additional abuse from drag launches. And as an autocrosser on a long hiatus, I can feel the potential of the car but feeling the suspension holding it back so much pains me. It's fine for everyday driving and performance driving at 6/10ths... it just doesn't inspire enough confidence to even go 8/10ths which is truly sad.

CVSiN said it was priorities... well, in my case it's budgeting. I have money that needs to go elsewhere to pay education loans and to save up a little before I spend more money. Things like rolling the fenders to clear big tires, better fuel control setup, oil cooler, and upgraded rad are all on the list for the future so it can go road racing but I'm not one to eat frozen pizzas to put mods on my $35K car. I own my $10k car and I like fresh brick oven pizza too much... MMMMMMM... PIIIZZZA

And there's no way a WRX can make it into the 10s with bolt ons. Just from talking to and seeing the work some guys go through to get into the 10s... the car is not friggin streetable. 10s on slicks yeah mebbe if you have a 700+hp monster but 10s in a stripped trailer queen you don't need near as much power. I know a guy with a low 11 second full weight DSM... it's barely streetable at over 510awhp. A factory backed Subbie at the last Evo VS WRX shootout in Englishtown, NJ barely ran 10s (that car is more developed now).
