Drag Racing

fuck me 129mph! that s fairly moving along!

gunner, possibly in a perfect world might get to a high 9, but repeatable mid 10's he'd piss it in!

[Gunner]

VHT, atleast 26x8s and some proper strip suspension, 9's would be doable, hard, but doable.

[xero]

oh yeah definately, but would it be worth going to all that effort for maybe a single 9sec run, where as you could run mids 10's all day long?

[Gunner]

no not really, but he would be one of thevery 9 sec 86s world wide haha

[xero]

what about C&Y sports with the 2J/RB26 or the peurto rican rotary AE86?

[Gunner]

yeah, but they are hardcore drag cars, 3/4 chassis in the rotor, not sure on the specs for the other cars though.

I must admit this thread has started that itch, I would love to go buy some drag worthy, and thrash the ass out of it, oh how I miss my vl haha.

[xero]

C&Y are full chassis.

but i know what you mean, i keep dreaming of a full sized chrysler E-body with a TT 426 or a 500ci TT wedge motor...

[Brenton 86]

yeah mate! was on the way out there.

[PRIMRK]

My dad used to drag in his FJ holden, i think he was sitting round the 14 sec time, bare in mind this is 40 years ago now.

I think once my track car is done ill have to pop down to have a go at drags at least once or twice, do more torques help at the strip? or is it in top end power?

[Gunner]

you need the torque to get to half track, and power to drive it the rest of the way.
