So this quests for a daily driven FWD 12 second DSM is really pissing me off. Now I have a couple options.
1) keep trying to build a fast daily driven FWD.
2) buy a different daily driver and build my FWD into a non-daily driven but streetable race car.
3) Build my current winter car(Automatic AWD DSM) next season into a non-daily driven but streetable race car.
4) Wait for a deal on a 5speed AWD DSM and build that into a non-daily driven but streetable race car.
5) sell all my shit and buy half of a EVO. :roll:

Talk to stash. Get an AWD and build it to be both a reliable race car and a daily driver.

If i were to go that route...(which is the route I've been on) i don't see much reason to start all over with a different car. My real problem is, I'm not smart enough to buy a slow DD. I just cant do it.
sell it all and buy a 16 second honda civic.

answer 5...get rid of all the above DSMs :lol: jk
im sure you can agree that in all reality a fwd car just will never be as fun as an awd or rwd chassis. On that note id say turn the awd dsm into a monster and make your fwd a reliable daily

Ever gone 11s?
Ever felt a rear wheel drive dead hook and throw you into the seat? Get some slicks and throw a 100 shot on it, and just let them try wiping the smile off your face!

Ever feel a AWD dead hook and throw you in the seat, on street tires?

BURN!!! LMAO>>>
i aint hating on dsm's at all..
it doesnt seem like it takes much to get into the 13s.. but once u get past that it takes too much time and money to get past 12s..
but yeah i agree totaly... id get somthing thats worth of 10-11 second slips with less time and effort.. I dont like camaro's but some of them can be a force to recon with with very little money stuck into the motors..
same with 88s car.. im sure he has a fractionof the cost of alot of the guys with imports to go that fast :)

Did yours?
How fast would that Camaro be with boost and nitrous? How fast is that DSM NA?
I notice the Evo's wont show up at the track, where it's a little more even playing field.

11's, no. dead hook with slicks, yes. 1.8 60's fell awesome. I love my RWD Camaro and whole car shake from the V-8 under the hood. And the exhaust sound cant be beat IMO. What takes the smile off my face is 14MPG highway and driving a bigger heavy car that was made in the late 70's.

The reason i dont go to RSD's anymore is because the last one I brought MY EVO to, i sat in line for 4 hours, WITHOUT MAKING 1 RUN!!! I watched Fireball and all you other STREET DOMINATORS run atleast 5 times while i did not even run once. Quit complaining about him running to powerer adders, the fact is that you could use them to, but you dont. Im glad you didnt spend your money on power adders, you were able to get your haircut for MULLET to something more modern, and that I thank you for.
Yes your car is faster then mine, Yes I am glad that you come out and race with us, Yes I am glad you got a haircut. Im sorry for venting on you but WIR just pisses me off. Im just tired of being called a little slow rice popper, Yes i am fueled by uncle bens, but i think im ok with it now. I did come from the V8 world but even I ran a power adder back then and i still wouldnt of been as fast as you.
If you want an even playingfield and you call yourself a Street dominator, shoudlnt your playing field be on the street, I think you just want as much help as you can get against an AWD cuz you are SCARED.
You better watch out for the little rice popping/ knocking banging busting deep fried with egg noodles, silver uber doober number FOUR E V O in the spring. CUZ ITS ON!!!
I hope you like rice

LOL, wow.
I havent had a mullet since you were in diapers, and thats when they were cool.
The Evo will walk me in spring huh? Care to place a wager on that? Are you talking about your Evo, or are you one of those guys that throw your buddie's cars at people faster?

Youre right, I couldve used my bottle, but I didnt. I couldve kicked my passenger out before racing, but didnt. First run he left way early, second run I tried to run him down NA. I notice we didnt race a 3rd time. You dont think I wouldve gotten serious then? He didnt want to run again. Believe me, I tried. Bragging about using 2 power adders to beat an NA car is lame, especially when it's not even your car.

I dont thing he was ----bragging--- about his power adders. Ok im calm, I owned a supercharged f150 that also had spray, and i still would of been as fast as you, give the 4 cyl a little credit here. you have to admit even if he lost it is cool that his wifes, HIS WIFES car would keep up with one of central wisonsins baddest street cars, My car could of been as fast as his because at the time the only differece me and the other silver evo was, was that he had N2O, guess what that spray kit used to be mine...

I never said he was the one bragging about it. I gave him and the car lots of credit. I said I underestimated those cars, and I also said it won't happen again. Just because I'm racing NA doesnt mean the car doesnt have spray.
As far as being calm, its all good. This shit doesnt get me riled up or upset, I can certainly take as much as I dish out. I dont take it personal, I hope you don't either.
As far as the level field and being scared, I'm pretty sure thats not the case, which is why I wanted the last race, which I didnt get.
Like I always said, he beat me, and a loss is a loss. He was a good guy, I underestimated his car, I just wish he would take up my offer that I gave a couple of months ago to meet me with it at the track.

And how much would a freakin twin turbo kit for v-8 carb. car cost? seriously. And how streetable would it be. your not even comparing apples to apples here. And if you two wanna fight, start your own thread :wink:

We're not fighting. Never were. Ive spoken to him in person (I think?) and he is cool.
As for the turbo thing on the Camaro, yup, very pricey. As for streetable, dont underestimate that at all. Carb's dont mean race only. I have gotten over 20mpg with my car on the highway many times. Its all in fine tuning.
Badass I'll line up with you at the next rsd if you want, but I only race for hamburgers.

I'll race ya badass for two hamburgers. but only on the street, I know you have more power than me, but my big advantage is I can acctually get all my power to the ground, and on the street you will have a hard time doing that.

Correction. I DID have a hard time doing that. Not any more. It hooks good now. Its amazing what happens when I pull my head out of my ass and pay attention to the simplest things on the car.
