At 650 you would think mine is getting lower..but I have only had it for a year now 25K to go...so maybe 3.5 more years at this rate. That is another reason why going FI is such a touchie subject for me....lol

Congrats man...I have 2 titles but combined they cost me under 5K...lol bought from parents and stole a 77 buick for $1500.... one day the G will be owned by me...for now Navy Fed claims it as their baby!

 

 

One step ahead of ya, I've been leasing a 10X20 storage unit since last November. Big enough to to fit my Z, Golf Clubs, and other random **** that used to clutter my Condo up. Eventually when I move to a larger house having a garage will be top priority. Knowing that no one can eff with your car when you're not around is def. a good feeling.

 

Congrats bro!

 

Congrats! -----> Time for some 13 sec 1/4 times !

 

I'm curious ... Other than Brent and Bobby have you heard of any other Roadsters getting into the 12s/13s ?. Seems like most roadster owners on here stay away from the drag strip, which I can understand.

 

that was my point, I knew about the storage unit.

great idea btw.

 

Oh I see, yeah I'll probably wait a few more years if I think about getting a place with a garage. The way I see it the $190 I'm paying for the storage unit is probably what I'd be paying extra in mortgage If I had a place with a garage. Although the interest on that would be deductible. Having to move trumps everything though.

 

Totally forgot about Sherv and his beast. He's up there with Bert, but probably 200+ pounds heavier.

 

Congrats Karl!!

 

As far as I know, neither of those guys ran 13's NA. BobbyRitz (Robert) needed N20 (100 shot + slicks) to run 13.1, I dont think Brent drag raced his car NA, that thing was Greddy TT as long as I can remember/knew him. And no, I havent heard of a Roadster hitting 13's stock. I think its a slightly further stretch than a G doing it, but I still feel its possible. Nothing a few well chosen bolt-ons couldnt take care of.

 

At the track day he ran something like that at @115-116mph when his car wasnt breaking up-BUT remember that was with an upgraded snail from TN, not the standard 60-1 in the stage 1 kit. Now that you mention Sherv, I know there is a guy in MD on the boards here "wtfnoturbo" who had an APS ST Roadster he had claimed 12.8 a while ago. Thats about it for the roadster's, I forget what Brents best time is, but I think its high 12's also on his stock block Greddy set-up...

 

met wtf no turbo at the Whitemarsh meet, he is now running the JWT TT Looks sick Gunmetal Volks and the Amuse kit. scchhhweeettt!!

 

Yea, my best time with the basic greddy kit (stock block) & a lot of I.C.E was 12.847@114.04mp, 60ft =2.216. I am pretty sure that was running around 400 - 450whp. I went one more time after that with a bunch of additional upgrades, but blew my axle on the first real run.

 

I remember I was there Brent...

 

I was just saying that I am sure I could have gotten better #'s if I had not busted the axle. If my car ever gets fixed, I hope to hit the track again and get some low 12's or 11's (without breaking anything of course..... LOL)

 

Id want LOW 11's with the power you will be making...

 

Yea, it is a matter of not breaking anything that will probably preclude me launching hard... Therefore breaking into 11 would be good enough for me.

 

I know man, its a lot on the line to claim a 1/4 time in our cars...

 

WTFNOTURBO's car is nice.. Good guy as well.. His new JWT set up is pushing over 500 WHP/WTQ.. Sounds sexy
