turbocharged autos are typically faster than their manual counterparts due to the ability to stay in boost even while shifting, a stock lt1 should easily run a low 14 without issue, a turbo lt1, practically stock car shouldn't have a problem running ATLEAST a mid/low 13Crone said:yea I thought about a low 14 cause it's auto, even with a crappy driver.

I dont know where you see them...maybe professional series? I dont know, were probably talking about 2 differant types.
..but I went to imports vs domestics and the fastest honda there touched nines, the other drag hondas couldnt break past the 10s...these were full out drag cars.
The domestics of course were running 8s and some even were in the 7s.
there was a fox body that looked 100% bone stock besides the chute on the back running on 17s with nitto drag radials that ran in the 8's it was insane...he had a big hass procharger f1 and some sort of beefed up motor.
The lt1 wasn't turbo.... is all it had that I was aware of was exhaust (because I could hear it). You then said even a turbo lt1 should run at least at 13... did you mean the turbo transmission? or an actual turbocharger? Because there was no boost lol. I woulda gotten raped.El_Diablo said:turbocharged autos are typically faster than their manual counterparts due to the ability to stay in boost even while shifting, a stock lt1 should easily run a low 14 without issue, a turbo lt1, practically stock car shouldn't have a problem running ATLEAST a mid/low 13

MyLittlePony said:I might get hate for this..... ...but I dont see how thats a win. You had to go 120mph to beat a honda?!? For all I know he kept up until his governer kicked on, or simply didnt want to go that fast. Im in no way saying that your car couldnt beat it, or isnt fast, but I wouldnt call that a win either. Oh, and to put your dads life, your life and others at risk just to prove youre faster than a honda is not cool. I mean, come on, youre in a mustang, and hes in a 4 door family sedan grocery getter.

I can honestly see how youd assume I meant you. I was using "you" in its plural term meaning "you and your dad." Also the fact that it was "your" car, or so Im assuming is. And the way I said about putting other peoples lives in danger, I didnt know just quite how to word that to show how carless your dad was, but I can see how it can easily be read to refer to you, yourself.
Still, there is no reason your dad should have done that. Ive raced from rolls before and never gone that fast. Id take it to the track if I were going to. Plus in my state, if they think youre racing (even if you dont even break the speed limit) they can throw you in jail and impound the car.
auto_x5.0 said:Well in my state, the only time they can impound your car is if you've at least doubled the speed limit. They can give you a ticket for "exhibition of acceleration/power" but that can be anything from a little chirp of the tires to a full line-lock burnout at the stoplight.
Couldnt have said it better myselfDysfunction said:Ugh. I've driven in downpours with drag radials.. Had to go about 30 under the speed limit to to feel a little safe.. It sucks for DD.
This topic is pretty funny because it reminds me of me.. I was with my Dad in his truck a few weeks ago.. Blown 383 C-10.. And we raced a Cuda with some sorta wicked stroked mopar.. And easily exceeded 100 mph. It happens. Everyone here has raced. At one time or another. You people that bash people for racing.. And going fast for a few seconds... You're not Jesus. Or someones mother. Go have some fun.. But be safe. And if you're not going to have fun with your car give it to someone who will.
thought you mentioned a turbo somewhere... anyways, the lt1 cars used 4l60e's which are electronically controlled 700r4'sCrone said:The lt1 wasn't turbo.... is all it had that I was aware of was exhaust (because I could hear it).

thats my point, fwd sucks, the domestics were running 2 seconds faster
I dont know where the turbo charged auto **** came from but yea, stalled auto cars are generally faster when you have some power and especially with a turbo
