what would it take?

[realitygt]

nope not at all...I mean, I wont touch my engine cause its all ive got.

If I had a daily driver I would have had that thing torn apart and put back together with a full pi swap and a bad ass set of cams by now, not to mention my blower would most likely be on. :hammer:

same except the money problem. the only thing about you is that you have all the bolt on's so as soon as u do a pi heads and cams you'll be beastly.

 

[jfor441]

I'm not denigrating anyone, I'm just saying your statement is not realistic. Making your average SN95 4.6 or 5.0 run 12s for $1300 is VERY far-fetched.

So the conversation started with MrNiceGuys comment about making a 2v run 12s for $1000. Then he re-stated to $1300.

Then I called BS.



Then you came back with guys buying 4 cyl notch fox cars and converting them to V8 5.0s and making them run 12s. WTF? Were you even following the conversation? :hammer:

This is funny.

Paul.

Yes I was following the conversation. And yes you can even get a SN95 car in the 12's cheap if you pick and choose the right parts and can do the work yourself. I never specified which Mustang I was talking about so my apologies there. Most guys around here run Foxes.

yea, I would actually benefit from all the bolt ons with pi heads and cams...but I guess im gonna throw the blower on for now and probably do pi cams in the future...if my engine doesnt blow

 

[justinschmidt1]

Paul, you need to back off man.

Any thing is possible.


You could take a bone stock GT, completely strip and gut the car down to nothing, get some junkyard 4.10s, put them in your self,

spend the other money on a nitrous kit and some used slicks and run 12s


Anything is possible, but for a normal person that doesnt want to gut thier car or put junkyard gears in their car, its not feasible.

 

[Paul]

I totally agree.


ANYTHING is possible. Far less is probable.


There is a guy here in town that has a factory non-AC '90 coupe from Canada. With a 100% factory never-opened 5.0 from TB to pan - he has run 12.97 @ 104 mph. I have a video of that pass in fact. The car is full weight, 100% factory suspension (except unhooked front swaybar and an airbag in the passenger rear spring), full exhaust, gears, slicks. So it is POSSIBLE. However, he is the ONLY CAR that I've EVER personally seen run those kinds of number. It took him literally five years and HUNDREDS of passes to run that number.

Awesome? Yes. Possible? Yes. Likely? No.

Paul.

 

[justinschmidt1]

Lol...well, I agree with that


Those times and costs are possible but represent like 2% of the population of sn95 owners, if that

 

[Steven]

Mine's been worth the effort so far.

It's all you kids running around saying "It's too hard to turn a wrench..wahhh...Modulars are SO diffucult...wahhh..".

Like reality saying he doesnt want to touch the engine but wants to run mid 13s haha

wtf are you talking about? i don't want to not touch the engine because "it's too hard" i don't want to dig into engine because it's my dd and i don't want to run into ANY problems at all. stfu.

WTF are you talking about?

Its gonna be near impossible to run mid 13s without atleast doing pi intake and cams...I never said " its too hard for you"

Just saying that you are an example....you dont want to touch the engine for whatever reason, a lot of people are like that, hell, I cant rip open my engine either cause I drive it everyday...that why all I have is a PI intake and bolt ons...but im slow.

i thought you were implying that i was one of the kids that ran around talking about how modulars are so difficult and how i don't want turn a wrench on my car. my bad.

and who are they? I don't know anyone on here that are afraid to turn wrenches on there own car, most of them guys are on stangnet lol...

thats the kind of car i've seen. Stock motor'd 5.0s running 12's all day long, still factory sealed. One in a million man

 

[MrNiceGuy]

Right there you are calling me a liar. You may know about your little corner of the US. I know about my little corner of the US. I know for a fact, 3 guys off the top of my head. All 3 bought 4 cyl coupe cars for less than 500 bucks. Junkyard or craigslist 302's plus cheap parts and junkyard parts plus spray and these guys are running low 7's high 6's every Friday night.

So the conversation started with MrNiceGuys comment about making a 2v run 12s for $1000. Then he re-stated to $1300.

wow i guess you missed where i said "my bad that was supposed to be 13's"

the biggest part of it is starting with a car that can handle it.. buying a fucking 10-15 year old car with 150k miles on it will NOT run 13's or better with that much money.. starting with a block that can handle.. PI swap, gears, spray, junkyard axles, and slicks.. down here i traded a damn go kart for a complete nitrous kit.. you can find used shit that will hold up really cheap.. do NOT forgot about your suspension.. all this shit can be done cheap.. i don't understand why you think i'm so wrong.. hell i would probably believe you if i hadn't seen the shit done myself..

it can be done.. it HAS been done... you whine more than a 8 year old girl.. nobody is right except you.. you need to lose the king shit attitude and try and listen.. i understand why you think it can't be done.. but just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it's impossible..


i have seen with my own fucking eyes a 97gt run 11's with 1200 bucks thrown into it.. so you telling me i'm wrong is pointless.. i have FUCKING SEEN IT!!!!!

you need to come see how shit is down here where people don't have a lot of money.. just because you don't know how to do something doesn't mean everyone else is wrong..



i guarantee you right now.. all i have on my car are bullshit bolt-ons that do nothing for power.. i also have 4.10's and a eaton posi (eaton is not installed)..

when i start dumping money back in my car i GUARANFUCKINGTEE you i will post up these impossible times with 1200 bucks.. i will get receipts for everything and i will post up everything i do.. i would say a faster time but i have one of those "not so good" blocks as i mentioned.. so i am not going to be spraying 150 shot.. (waits for you to talk shit about this also..)

 

[Paul]

Wow, this argument was so three hours ago. :hammer: Maybe you should read the rest of the thread. :uglystupid2:

Uhhhhh, I dont see anything amazing about running a 12.97 with a fox coupe and those mods you listed :dunno: :dunno: That quarter mile time would equal around a 8.30 in the eighth mile, my 91 GT ( heavier than a coupe by at LEAST 100 POUNDS) had Longtubes/ catless mid pipe / dynomax catback / 373 gears / and a hurst shifter running on BFG Drag radials with me in the car ( 225lbs ) ran 8.60s all day long BONE STOCK SUSPENSION. With 410's and slicks Id bet my life to a dollar that I could have broke a 8.49 with it. Now take off the fact that my GT is heavier than a coupe ( 100lbs or more ) you can cut a full tenth off that and your looking at a 8.39

Im not saying that the coupe run is not impressive, fact is there is not a basket full of near stock cars doing those kinds of times, but under the right weather conditions / track prep / and a good driver......its NOT ROCKET SCIENCE to try to figure out how its done. My car is not the only one thats done it, there is a guy here that had a 87GT with exhaust / 373s / Slicks / and some weight reduction and ran 8.5x's on a regular basis.

I hope shortly that our member " 93StockNotch" will have some times in his coupe soon,....., full exhaust / 373's / and a Coldair kit, his car can-might be another addition to what im saying a stock motor car with just piddly boltons running LOW 13s without much effort at all. CAN do 12s with some serious concentration.

oh and the major pitfall for the 96-98 2valve cars to break 12s cheaply is a two part deal I think......the fact that they are heavy and LACK low end tq keeps them from getting up and on their way and kills ET potential

 

[Paul]

1/8 mile times are not 1/4 mile times.

It's not amazing, but certainly very unusual. I've been to the track a bit and I've never personally seen another car run those times with those mods. Ever.

Must be some crappy drivers/cars where you go :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer:

That must be it.

I dont see a LOT of them either, but they are around.

 

[Black97GT]

So true...I beat a lot of cars in the 1/8th then they catch me at the 1000ft and trap nearly 10mph higher.

real men race 1/8th mile, thats why thats all we have around here :coolsmiley: :hammer:

hmm?


The only cars that will be doing that is ricers dude.

Any american muslcle car shouldnt be playing catch up.

But the ricers with turbo 4 bangers are turds from a dig but fly once they get rolling...

I ran a civic that ran like 13.8 at 112 mph...I still beat him but like 10 feet after we crossed the finish line he flew by me.

 

[Steven]

unless its a turbonator mustang with some serious turbo lag.. at the line he has a whopping 200 horsepower, but at the end of the race hes pushing 1100 :hammer:
