It's very difficult and time consuming to try and figure out who started what. I have set firm rules moving forward. From this point forward, report personal attacks if you want another member removed from a discussion. It's as simple as that.

I get ya. But (and again, this is my personal opinion) it shouldn't matter who "started" it. No one has an excuse to threaten to use violence against someone because they got their feelings hurt.

There shouldn't be a "who started it." That's like saying the reason a woman got raped is because she was dancing provactively.

Bal ran at an NHRA track. Maybe they don't follow the rules and let his 11.2, 11.3s pass with out the fire gear?

It's hit and miss on that at any track. I've been able to run mid 10s without even a fire jacket sometimes, other times you run 11.49 and they read you the riot act about need a roll cage and everything.

A certain level of forum decorum should be enforced, and I think the moderators are doing their best to strike that fine line between censorship and enforcement of forum rules.

No sir this is MERICA!!

The only place is the world were an individual can run an 18.5 with a keg of bud and no clothes on. I assume the clothes off was for weight reduction.

Then you have your full bolt on stingers running 10.9 by just removing the passenger and rear seats. Not to mention on street performance tires and RWD. I forgot stock turbos. I forgot where I saw the post where a representative from burger motorsports states that after 20 psi on stock turbos there was no more power to be gained. Where all cars with similar mods at the track are running between 11.9 to 12.3.

I am sure high school kids would have more common sense. This is MERICA.

It’s crazy that everyone just seems to think I am crazy or plain hating. Everyone forgets that I actually drive a stinger and own a JB4. I would love for the car to actually be that fast.

It’s insane to see people getting triggered because they agree with me. You don’t have to like me lol, it’s just plain common sense. There is no way in hell its scientifically possible, for a full bolt on Stinger to run 10.9 unless you removed about 900 pounds weight from the stinger. To be honest I don't think the passenger seats, rear seats and spare tire add up to 900 pounds, maybe 200 pounds at most.

Below is a little research I was doing of production cars on high 10's and low 11's. Note that most of the vehicles are considered supercars. Most of the vehicles have dual clutch transmission and weight less than the stinger. Look at the HP/TQ numbers. And most are AWD. I am not saying that Stinger wont ever be able to reach a 10.9 run, but with just bolt ons and a little weight reduction I highly doubt it.

Everyone can disagree all you want but its not that hard to just look at the results logically. I understand most of you are biased and some hardcore blinded fan boys. This is not about people not liking me or me hating on someone else. Its just simple logical facts.

Its not about Tonka liking Tork, or agreeing with me. Its not about Tork vs Burger rivalary. Its not about Fan boys blindly supporting a track slip with no other proof. There is a moment were we all have to keep it real with ourselves. I never seen a forum where people have a hard time accepting the facts or no one questions the facts/results.

You go no any other forum mustang/Camaro/corvette/dodge/lexus/Toyota/GTR and even Honda for god sakes they all have 1/4 threads were they actually post the track results video/slip/mods etc..... Nothing like us here were is all mostly virtual reality and he said, she said deal.

I am sure if the guy really ran a 10.9 or 11.2 like he claimed he does consistently then there would be videos. Just thinking logically here its 2019 everyone has smart phones that record.

I might be wrong but something tell's me we will never see the video of the magical 10.9 run.

Maybe the enlarged throttle body is making more power than everything else :D
But seriously, he has to be running some sort of nitrous shot or have stuffed turbos. For him to pull a 1.7x 60ft he probably would top the list no matter what, but at 99mph at the 1/8th there's something else going on there making a lot more power. I just want to know how he's launching so hard

Nitrous is a helluva drug. Hard to stop spamming that red button once you get a taste of it the first time.

Nobody except for Vin Diesel uses a red button :cool:
When I had it on my VR6 GTI it was a window switch, meaning it only sprayed at full throttle between 3500-7000 or whatever I had it set to. It was extremely addicting / terrifying

yup all designed to spray at a set condition. I wish I had a red button in an car. Im sure I would have used it prematurely.

I ran a ZEX 75 shot on my 280zx and yes it used a switch instead of a button but the young ins on here will relate to a red button more I thought.

I did DM @bal this morning with the thread link and asked if he would come over and elaborate on the setup / runs. Then we can get back to our regular programming.

Fify.

Taking the cold side pipe from 2.5 to 3 inches (off a 3 inch FMIC) on an 11 second stinger did nothing, so in that regard, I suspect the larger throttle body wouldn't do much either. Plus one of our resident Tuners said the stock throttle was huge flowing full throttle at 70% opening.

The post number you referenced didn't have any violent verbiage because the actual post was deleted. What I don't have time to do is go searching for it.
