I win-->car 7874

Well What can I say. Their was a lot-lot of trash talking about who was going to win. But I prevailed. The 8 is superior to the mx-5. Like we didn't already know lol.

conditions: 94 degree's outside, street tires...

It doesn't matter if you win by a INCH or a MILE winning is WINNING. lmao...

omg dude you beat me by 8 hundredths of a second!!!

LOL nice... Chris knew better than to mess with the far superior mazda

You guys gotta work on your launches! I'm launching at .053 in my AT! LMAO!

HAHA! Way to go Omar!

NYC, Looked like a pretty bad start. Did it just look that way, or did you miss?

It was my first time on a track. The first run i let go of the clutch at 3000 rpms. So yea really bad start.

chrism- omg dude you beat me by 8 hundredths of a second!!!

LoL. Just havin fun.

nothing but love.......and 8 hundredths of a second......i so want a grudge match

Bro we got to set up another meet just for this. Like in august or september

by then i will have midpipe and maybe headers.....things might be different

Hey chrism then i get my converter in u can us my car to race him

im good with my car......he has years of shifting in his and i got 2 weeks......if he beat me by a ton that would be different.....but this race was way too close

i donno... i think you should get your coils checked or something NYC, I was getting HORRID 60 footers (2'7) and still running very low 15s at over 93 everytime my first time at the track. It doesn't seem like your car is running up to par unless you are straight missing shifts or shifting verrrry slow.

it was a very close race
both times
all in good fun it was a great day at rotorfest of '08

did your girl say omg chris better not beat him cuz then i gotta hear it all the way home.....lol.....

Chrism, I hear goodwin racing has some headers, did you see all those dynos w/ their full exhaust system and intake?

The MX-5 has a shorter 60' fwiw :)

my exhaust is the 7lb goodwin race and i got a MS intake

Hahaha

yea,

trap speeds should be higher. was it really hot?


beers :beer:

94 degrees

94 degrees

thats some of it.. still should have been in the low 90 mph..

btw, chris. i am on you side. take some air out of the rears.. i would go with about 26 lbs.

beers :beer:

haha, nice!!!
(the vin diesel pics were a great touch!)

Looks like someone needs to learn how to hold a camera..:)

2.2 60ft? have you ever driven a manual before?

j/k j/k

Ha Chris! thats what you get fro driving a pistonz!

I think chris should get more credit for closer to stock manufacture/magazine claimed times :) .

Go omar!! show this punk whose boss! GIVE ME ROTAR OR GIVE ME DEATH! lol. :)

oem stock for stock the 8 is 14.5 in the quarter and the soft top sport miata is 14.9...i have a slightly heavier hard top gt.......

hahahah nice

LOL this is funny....

Guys it was extrememly close race.

Props to NYSDriftKing for the win. But props to Chrism and his MX5. It's obvious it can hang w/the 8 on the drag strip.

The temps yesterday were brutal. Allot of the cars on the strip were suffering from heat soak. There are many factors to take into consideration...but over all pound for pound the 2 are pretty dam close.

Gotta love some friendly Grudge competition.

BTW I thought Chris had him at first cause his launch was better.

And FYI his girl did say that...cause she didnt want to hear it all the way home - if she was picked up. She thought NYC DriftKing was going to jsut bounce had helost. But the classic moment was when she said watch if he wins Im sure he'll pull the peach moment from F&F and surely he did....CLASSIC and funny as hell that she called it. LOL

lmao.....it was great...i have to admit it....

Need sell kidney. Need buy tuning.

my attention span wasn't long enough to watch the whole run :squint: :lol:

DUDE I SO wanna track mine now too...

MX-5=Fail HAHA HAHA:lol:

That was a very close race and me and my friend debated over who won. Damn I've got to get a helment for the next one! IT was a blast and s**t it was hot! I think everyone would have done better on a cooler day.

OMFGUWONROFLLOLLMAO !

:lol:

nice. looks like you guys had some fun!!



maybe next year . . .

Lucky for you this car is meant for the twisties because those times are pathetic + traps

Looks like someone needs to learn how to hold a camera..:)

For real!

I think you need to do a count down video for the rematch.

MX-5=Fail HAHA HAHA:lol:

care to explain how?....please do so with your wonderful words of wisdom:)

its corn trolling like usual chrism :\

funny how the ricer bags on me huh?

It's probably just an akward attempt at befriending you, seeing as how you're the #1 ricer/poser.

Well I got heavier rims on the car. The car is pretty stiff as it's setup for drift not drag. I'v had the car for a lil over a year and i think it does pretty good.

Ok i do need to tune my car and get it running better. I was dragin with my boy today he has an 08' rx8. And he pulls a littel on me. And hey draging has never been my strong suit, but after that day i think i caught the bug. I just might go again this weekend.

i saw this from the stands... it was a really close one .... i give chris props ... he did hang .... and nyc u did launch nasty ... nut all in all nice race .... and dont worry NYC .... i still havent had my first drag yet .... maybe if you go this sunday i'll meet up with you and we can do some runs for fun so we can both practice..... oh and chris at least you didnt trade to a SUPER slow ass car.... or a honda ....

Hahaha... love the Toretto shot.

this thread wins.

mainly because of vin diesel.

Omar, did you ever race Kenny? I want a video of that. :lol2:

hey at least omar vindicated the rx-8!....not every car on the planet can beat it

kimmi Kenny would spank him all day long...lol.

But what do you expect from an 8 cyl audi

what mods do you have???

what mods do you have???


As far as power mods ---> AEM CAI, and HKS Lemax exhaust.

and i have the mazdaspeed cai and roadster sport race exhaust

I know Kenny would spank him, sheesh. I'm not that car retarded.

I just wanted a video of it.

15.5 is a decent time for this track. im not a fan of how they prepare it. i had waaay more wheelspin than im used to. the track i usually run at, if you stand still for 10 seconds you'll have problems moving due to the amount of VHT on the track. :lol:

a friend once stood on the capitol raceway track, without moving his feet, for a few minutes. when he turned to move he fell over. haha. :lol:

i wonder if i might have broken 14s at englishtown

That just reminded me of how slow the RX8 is...haha

i think this needs an afternoon bump :lol2:

Werd

That just reminded me of how slow the RX8 is...haha


Yep. But with a decent driver it should have run 1 second quicker. Excuses, excuses. The best mod you can do is to the drivers ability.

hahah that was a sweet racee~,and what track is that by the wayyy???

and nice car ChrisM- didnt know you got an MX-5, Awesome!

the track was island raceway in nj....and yeah the 8 should have hurt me but it didnt......i got more mods on the way so things might be different on the grudge match
