lol, i do not know how to "write english"? Alright buddy. lol, are you the guy who posted that thread in the 3si.org trying to trick us Z owners? I have a feeling you did. And i asked for a picture of a time slip, not just a "thread story". lol, and did you see the replys of the 3si.org members? One even wrote down " i went to the track last time and saw a vr4 run a 14.5". Pearl Demon, again for the 99999999th time, you never answered or showed and answer to my question. I want real time slips, for christ's sake.

We've got a couple of fast imports here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. There is a lot of ls1s here (02 z28s/ss lots of c5s, couple of z06s). But of course there are a lot of ricers. There is this pakistan who owns a 94 supra with a single t-88 kit, he puts out around 750 rwhp. But ****, the last time he took it to the track, he ran a 14.1 . He has no traction at all. He's got some high performance proxes, but they aren't "big enough for the job'. He definitely needs slicks. He'd probably run low 11s w/ d/r . There are some semi-powerful z32s here . ranging from 400bhp - 500 bhp. There is also this really powerful 944 t that cruises around my town, but i don't know him. It's heavily modded from rumors around town. JUST TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW, EVEN THOUGH YOU GUYS PROBABLY DON'T EVEN CARE.

Just an observation:
Why is everyone so amazed at quick 1/4 times? A monkey can drive a car in a straight line, it isn't that hard. Run some quick laps and your car will impress me and so will your skills.

lol, dude. That "14.5 run" from the vr4 was on 3si.org, i have no idea where that guy is from. I wanted an image of the stock stealth r/t time slip man. Alright, how about let's "squash this beef", i'm sorry man. This on going petty feud is getting pretty immature. Let's end it now.

Stock 2nd gen VR4/Stealth TT's can run 13.5-13.7 1/4's with a driver that knows how to launch AWD. I ran my stock 97 VR4 to a 13.6 a few years ago at the track and with $900 in mods ran 12.6 on the same track a year later.
It does ultimately come down to the driver as different drivers will get you different results but there's no doubt that a VR4/Stealth TT will outrun a 350Z from a stop and a roll(from a roll will be a bit closer).

if u start from 70 , the Z will pull at around 80 and still pulling until we both stop racing.
i bet some of u guys never raced a Z from a 70mph roll before.

I bet you never raced one that knew WTF they were doing, r maybe they weren't in good condition... the car's are pretty old now...
Marc's R/T just said he owned a 97 VR-4 and now owns a G35c and told you which one was faster.
Get over it.

I ran a black VR-4 leaving town late one night.. from a 90mph roll up past 150mph.. Unsure of mods, if any. It appeard stock..no audible/visible exhaust changes.. possibly a 97 model (someone in town told me that and knows the owner..however I never managed to get any details. 
)
I was screwing with him trying to get him to go the whole time..and finally we just paced each other leaving town.. at about ~90mph we were heading thru the last stoplight in town. (About a 1/2 mile out of town there is a light for the expressway)..I was leading about a car length ahead of him... we were within a few carlengths of the light and obviously not going to stop for it.. he nailed it and I noticed him flying up next to me.. he reached my rear bumper before I went WOT... He slipped ahead about half a car length and I could not pull him back in ... just stayed that way until I buried my speedo (150) and finally let off. For comparisons sake I have pulled several stock LS1 cars in the triple digits. I was quite amazed.
I would also presume a TT car to have a better topend than a N/A with almost equal if not less Hp/Trq output. I guess all this bench racing doesn't add up to me. Its obviously possible that the one I ran was modded .. I just didn't notice any indications of a "Weak" topend.
