Atreyu - Honor
SOLD as of 1/23/09!!! It will be missed!
Aug 08
Finally decided to take the car to Englishtown to see what it could run...the weather was too good to miss out on. Intake temp was fairly steady at 70, and no humidity.
First off, I didn't want to go 100% balls out because I'm scared of the stock rear, to the point that I almost didn't even run...but I figured fuck it. That said, I think I did ok. Here's how the night went...
Run 1 (Me vs Vtec, LOL): nerves shot and 1st time ever at the track with a stick. I wasn't sure how hard to launch, but I figured 3k would be ok...turns out it wasn't. The KDW drag radials gripped like a BITCH! It stuck and bogged so hard it almost stalled. 2.0 60' and I ran a 12.7@113, not horrible I guess but I was pissed off! Don't know where Vtec was but it ran a 15...
Run 2 (vs 70 Chevelle SS): after calming down and saying a little prayer before the launch I left at close to 3500. It bogged again but not nearly as bad as the first run. The slight bog led to another 2.0 60' and the chevelle raping me from the tree, but I snuck past him to a 12.48@114.23, vs his 13.0@102...quick car for 4000lbs, looked stock too!! I was starting to cheer up but still not satisfied.
Run 3: (vs base C6 Vette...let the fun begin): This was my haymaker, for that night anyway. I said at the beginning of the night I'd be happy with 12.4, and 12.48 was .08 too high for my liking. I finally decided to push the rear a little harder and let out at 3500+, THAT was the magic number!! It launched hard as hell and destroyed the vette start to finish! I went 12.34@114.26 with a 1.89 60' against his 12.9@113. I'm fairly happy.
Next equation: 12 bolt + 4500 launch = 11sec pass

Sick bird. And venom suits it!
Hey man , How you like the look of 17s up front and 18s out back? I am thinkin of gettin 18s but not so sure yet. Does the difference in wheel dia. really affect the ABS ? I would think it wouldnt matter if I got close to the overall height of the 17&quo
it was around like 1030 am or so. i was gettin off at like exit 131 i think.
