I know a couple people at school who have keyed my car and slashed my t-tops and kicked my front grille in, and they never got in trouble for it. And now they want to race, and I figure if I beat them that'd be pretty sweet! They are both hicks, one has a '97 Silverado (3 door) 5.7 with 250hp, and the other drives a rusty '94 Celica with 135hp. Can I win?

Also, any funny suggestions on other ways of payback that isn't over the line? There's no excuse for purposely destroying a well kept thirdgen, I had to pay $500 to fix all that damage.

Thanks!

i used to drive a 97 Celica,that best american one is a high 16 second car.
ive raced a Z71 with no cat and headers back,and probbly intake...and i beat it from roll and dig.

and my camaro close to stock.

You should be able to take them, but if they truly were the ones that messed with our car, that may not help your situation. It could make them mad enough and prompt them to do worse. Are there any camera's in the lot where you park your car? You may want to ask security, if there is any. Such vandalism is a serious criminal offense.

HypnoToad

i agree,i would take them to court,if u can find anything that shows it was them.

but i was just posting on the racing aspect.

Aarons92Maro

It was them, they bragged about it to their friends, and I tried to get the school involved but the camera was not by my car so nothing could be done. And the police won't do anything. It's $20 for a new factory grill, I got a hell of a deal on some new T-tops in great condition, and I got them for $75 because the guy felt bad. The key caused the most damage, it'll be hundreds to repair. I did buff it and it got hard to see.

I always park my car right by camera's now. And I never bring the new T-tops to school.

I want to burn their cars lol.

stupid high school kids do not value third gens. i have been doing body work on my car so its been rather dusty and some people get a kick drawing male body parts on my windows. the other day some one put wrappers under my wipers. I narrowed it down to 4 possible people that park around me, and i told them if things keep occurring, i dont care who it was, but all would get owned.


amazingly the next day, my car was untouched


back on topic, its not worth racing. if you win or lose you still will have consequences

a) you win, they get mad and they can keep it up
b) you lose, the talk trash..ect ect and gets you angered

Aarons92Maro

Yeah... ever since I bought my thirdgen, I get crap everyday! It's nonstop and very annoying. What HS are ya at? La Sierra?

That's where the girl I know is.

well since the other thread is getting off topic, i think moving it to yours would be better.


well the speedo say 30k, but im sure its flipped once already so 130k. possibly 230k. any ways to tell exactly?

Aarons92Maro

Oh... Well we should get a bunch of thirdgens together to go beat on ricers when I come. I'll bring Lizzy (that's her name) I don't know if she's that crazy about cars, but we'll have fun!

my high school car was a iroc, i nevr had the hater problem in school, but then again i was 6' and weighed in a 230lbs. and was ILB.
funny how things work that way lol

lol im 5'10 205lb its amazing how scared people get when they **** you off

Aarons92Maro

My speedo is broken, it says 121,610, but going by several mechanics opinions, and by CarFax records, we estimate that it is around 125,000. I'd look at the suspension, if there's rust, I'd say 130k. I highly doubt it has 230k. You could have a CarFax run on it and that would also give you a good idea. What'd you pay for it?

HypnoToad

lol,my HS car was a RX-7 and it never got messed with,still looked like brand new when i sold it.

Aarons92Maro

I am 5'11, 160. But I am well built, I lift a lot.

well under it its slightly oiled from a small engine oil leak. theres no rust at all. this was my sisters car before. she had it for a year but then didnt drive it due to getting pulled over constantly. got me a job, worked my self off and got it from her for $1500

Aarons92Maro

Not a bad deal, I got mine for $3,000 from Orlando, Florida (no rust!!). Then put $1,300 into the repairs it needed like a new TB, manifold, fuel pump, distributor, cap and rotor, and I had to rewire some of the interior lights and fix some fuses. A lot of money for an RS Camaro. But I love the car.

What would racing them prove? Think about it. If they damaged your car for no reason(unprovoked I'm sure ) then what do you think they'll do if you beat them in a race? Yeah we had our spat in the other thread but I'm being serious now...you would have to assume that if you beat them in a race they'll get pissed off and further damage your car.

Ikillricecars

I'm with fly89gta on that one

25thmustang

I agree, try racing people who have not already vandalized you, NO good will come from that.

Man, the mean streets of Wisconsin...

Toyota h8r

well....i own a 96 Gmc Z71 CAI/3.73's/ehaust/tune

and i run down lo3's all day

unless you have stall/gear/head/cam....your pulling 16's LOL

only good race was my LG4 bolt on trans am

LB9's with exhaust(a4) or good driver(m5) walk my L31 vortec Z71

hell...my dads 01 s10 xtreme pulls low 15's

89rs454

No, i have seen a stock lo3 run 15 flat it all depends on your tires.

Toyota h8r

lol wat?

Toyota h8r

5spd maybe....most lo3's are worn and crap. Combine that with rpm blazing 1500rpm stall and 2.73 gearing...or if your lucky 3.08's(most i see)

its sad when you see trucks running with cars

25thmustang

Please show this one to me, as an auto TPI has a hard time running those numbers!

89rs454

When did i say it was auto?

fly89gta

iTrader: (1)

Bone stock? The only way that's happening is if the track on a 800ft decline.

We have some of the best tracks in the country around here in regards to prep and elevation, I've yet to see a verified bone stock LO3 run a 15.0

89rs454

Maybe it was the 1/8th mile time im thinking of

25thmustang

If you READ what I said, it didn't refer to the car you mentioned being an auto, but an auto TPI (faster than ANY LO3) barely being able to run the 15.0 you claim you have seen.

If you need more explanation into what I said, print it out and bring it to someone else and have them explain it to you!

89rs454

Ok mustang boy thanks for the insight.

Toyota h8r

truth.com

LB9>LO3 ANY DAMN DAY of the week....better heads FTW

SERIO

I have raced my buddies IROC with the LB9 and i took him by 1 - 2 car lengths. His IROC has a rebuilt LB9 with the 700r4 and i have the LO3 with T 5 with 220K+ miles on it.

25thmustang

Any time I can clear up intellectual miscommunication, I will gladly be of service!

If you have an LO3, and your beating LB9 cars, the guy who owns the LB9 should probably be worried.

Toyota h8r

yah..auto vs 5spd isnt fair...go race a 5spd lb9 and watch the tail dissapear from your view



as i was saying......id take a Lb9 over Lo3 anyday of the week.

89rs454

I used to have an lo3 in the chevy really good motors raced a lot of mustangs and won but i saved my money and bought a 350hp 350 crate engine off Summit. come again.

25thmustang

What Mustangs did you beat with the LO3? What 1/4 mile times did it run, what mods? We need more info on all of this than just, "I beat Mustangs". Do I doubt it, no of course not, but there needs to be a reason as to why a higher 15 second car is beating mid 14 second cars!

I came back again!

Toyota h8r

im sorry...but as much i hate mustangs, you must of been racing v6's.

I have driven MODIFIED Lo3 f-bodies and they dont move out of their own way.

Only lo3 that ive driven that was ok fast, was a head/cam/intake lo3. Sadly it ran 14.4 at teh track lol

89rs454

lol yeah they were v6s i tried to race my buddys 4.6l mustang gt with my lo3 back in the day and he got me by a car at least. I didnt have 3.73 posi back then eaither nor did i have headers? Idk now i eat runstangs for lunch.

Toyota h8r

okay makes sense

SERIO

thats true but my 305 is all worn out i think he should of taken me if his was rebuilt...lol do u know how hard it is to find a LB9 + 5 speed its hard lol...I wanted a thirdgen with LB9 + 5 speed but couldnt find it so i got the LO3 + 5 speed, AUTOs are no fun IMO ...

Toyota h8r

here in midwest there is a vast amount of lb9/m5 cars

a lot are ******* hacked though

Reason its hard to get a lb9/m5 is people who own them dont wanna sell them

HarmonyCamaro

wow i no engine person but how do you know if its a lo3 or a lb9?

Aarons92Maro

I hope he is!!! Big difference... and I'm not about write a bible explaining them!!!

25thmustang

So what track times have you run, with or without the headers and posi??? I'm sorry, I really only speak in track times, but if your eating them for lunch, I would assume mid to lower 13s for your car?

89rs454

Mustang guy i have never taken my car to the track not yet anyway, but i do from time to time do a little street racing, kinda like you according to the latest thread you posted. My car can out run a lot of mustangs now i don't care how you spin it. And you really only speak in track times so i really can't answer you question, but i can tell you this when im finished with my car it will be named the rustang thrasher.

Aarons92Maro

Simply put the LB9 is a Z28/Iroc-z exclusive motor. The LB9 is a TPI 305 motor, factory rated at 230hp. It was used in Camaro's from 1985 (?) to 1992. The LB9 was available with a four speed automatic overdrive or five speed manual, which made the motor a bit more popular because the L98 Iroc's did not come with 5 speeds.

The L03 is a 305 TBI injected motor that was used in RS's Camaro's as a secondary engine to the 3.1 V6. The L03 has 170hp and 255 ft. lbs. torque. Came in four speed automatic and five speed manual. I believe the L03 was also in some Formula's... I'm not really a bird guy so I'll let others justify that. I believe the L03 first appeared in the '87 RS Camaro's, and was continued in the RS cars until 1992 when the fourth gen Camaro came out.

That is the SIMPLE version of the differences of these motors.

25thmustang

Well without any timeslips, it is hard for me to understand how fast your car actually is? Are we talking in terms of a 10-11 second car, or a 14-15 second car? Yes you street race, which I have done a few times in the past (not sure what relevence that has, I have track times, if that is what you meant?), but street races don't tell the whole story. They give good conversation, and provide some fun, but noone knows anything from a street race, other than the fact one particular car beat one other particular car.

Call your car what you will, I'm sure there are thousands of "rustangs" out there for you to "thrash". Just at some point get some track times for me? Thanks!

RedHawkLB9

What is this?...a dating site.. lol

89rs454

I will get some track times for myself.

Aarons92Maro

Haha... Just about! Nah, we were all trying to see what relivance our size and weight had in terms of people deciding no to screw with our nice cars in the HS parking lot lol.
