bare in mind that truck scales are designed to weigh trucks accuratly. Those trucks weigh a couple tones. So a 2000 pound car might not come out very accuratly. Like when you go 9 mph in my dads 02 civic it says your going 0 when your going 64 it says 64

Until it's corner-weighted and/or put on an accurate race scale, I'm not believing 2350 lb.

My last weight was taken at the track. I've had it weighed at the aluminum recylcling plant, truck stop and track and they were all within 20 lbs.

True. Be sure to let us know when you make your first 9 second pass next spring.

For someone who has built up their car so much in print, you have a remarkable lack of results to show for it...

My car isn't anywhere near done. How many years have we been waiting for results from a certain RX7 with a "nascar motor" and all we've gotten was alot of estimated computer generated Hp numbers?

Done enough to brag about, apparently. How can we forget that it just "hooks and goes", considering how many times you've said it...

Well, as far as my "nascar motor" goes, here's an estimated computer generated photo of my engine on the dyno at B&B Performance on April 27th, 2002 and the estimated computer generated dyno sheet to go with it... untuned and with ignition break-up.





So where's your dyno sheet? Time slips? My car is still sitting on jack stands as everyone knows... what's your excuse?

My car does hook and go but I've still got problems to work out.

Is this a dyno-sheet race or what?

what ever...

I have a 6hp shop-vac blowing fuel straight into my engine via eight 2.5" tubes (one per cylinder). I can empty out a 50 gal barrel in 8 seconds flat.

Exactly. Get your automobile running on its on free power and then come talk to me.

No, they sound like the words of someone who likes a lot of publicity... but not a lot of scrutiny...

It must have rained on the dyno, too. For someone who never misses an opportunity to tell everyone how badass his T51R is, it's funny how we've never seen a dyno sheet to back it up...

If all you're wanting to do is compare dyno sheets then why don't you head on over to the supra board and hang out with some of those 600+ hp 12 sec missles.

If you're wanting to match your car up against mine on the street then lets do it.

Instead of tracking my posts down to flame me. Quit flapping your lips and name the date. Come on over to St.Louis and bring the money.

No, I'm waiting for you to back up your bragging with some hard data.

You keep trying to turn this into a "my car is better than yours" issue because that's probably all that you're capable of understanding, but it's not. This is an "accountability for what you say" issue, and your credibility is what's under the microscope. The fact is, no one believes anything you say any more. Can you blame them?

Instead of tracking my posts down to flame me.
You're the one who popped back up to try to convince us (with another account and in third person, no less... how lame is that?!?) that your original claim of 2,350 lbs. was correct, and that you'd only conceded that you were mistaken because you couldn't take the heat.

You bring this on yourself, Eric. If you don't want criticism, then leave the forum and quit creating new accounts here to try to get more ego stroking with your car.
