Sorry for the cross post, but I don't know how well traveled the local forum is:

There's been a lot of talk about shootouts, comparing mods, falibility of dyno numbers, etc. so let's do something about it.
Let's get together and run our cars back to back in the same conditions and on the same fuel and see where everyone stacks up. We'll pick an independent dyno (someone with no skin in this game) and then drive down to Englishtown and run the track. I'd also love to add a 60-130 element to this, but I think we might need to rent out an airstrip to get that done. Anyone have any contacts on that?

So who's in? Any suggestions to make the day even better? As we get a sense of attendance, we'll pick a day and get the plans in motion. Also, anyone with contacts in these areas want to help me make some arrangements?

 

Love those Eastcoasters, they sure know how to throw a party. Wish someone can organize something like this on the Westcoast.

I hear you can get your 60-130 times on the drag strip... Just stay in it until you reach 130MPH then get on the brakes. You'd still have plenty of time to haul it down for the return trip...

I "might" be up for this, depending on schedule.

True, many cars can reach 130 before 1/4 ends... but not mine.

 

Let me know dates. Ill be there in the s4. The new set up is running and driving....just waiting to be tuned =).

 

Thought about that. The only catch is that many tracks won't allow you to have anything on your dash & the driftbox needs a line of sight with the satelite.

Hope you can make it. It'd be great to put a face w/ a name.

 

Sounds like a great idea Mike! We have KMD Tuning with a Maha Dyno in Northern Jersey and EPL with their Mustang in CT. I have a few friends who would definately be in....

 

I've made passes at http://www.dragway.com/ with a gtech on my window...FYI.

We can have this whole track for a day for about 100 bucks a car (20 car min). I would love to plan a private rental for the tristate guys in the Fall.

Just a thought.

 

I figured you'd be down. I'll race you for that rear wing.

I'd love to do the dyno at EPL because I wouldn't have to disconnect my driveshaft, but I'm pretty sure some folks on here will cry foul. If everyone on here wants to do EPL, I'd be glad to go, but they're probably out. (Sorry Tony). I was definitely thinking of giving you a call to see if KMD and their MAHA was an option. Also, I think AWE has a mustang in PA that might work.

I'm getting excited for this.

 

LOL... Which wing? KMD is definately down if we want to use their facility. Nice thing about the MAHA dyno is that it is exactly the dyno most manufacturer's use. Also MAHA was just here a few months ago and calibrated it. They ran a Carrera GT and got exactly the same HP numbers as claimed by Porsche so you know it is spot on. Once we have a few dates lined up I will coordinate it with KMD.

On a side note... How many people here are going to Waterfest?

 

I'm in.

 

I'm in!

 

im in!

 

If its at englishtown, I'm in for the racing

 

I'm in if my car is ready by the time this event happens.
