by instinct I just slammed the gas pedal to the floor.

You do this too?

 

Nice work I took a cavalier yesterday fun

 

The wierd thing is that those cars were rated from the factory with like 250hp I think...I don't know how though because they are slow as ass.

 

The good ole power-to-weight ratio clearly in effect 8)

 

I always read these turbo stories... I think I have turbo envy... although, I'm lucky... since Saab is usually associated with turbocharging, and there are very few here (however, there are a lot of nice cars... and it is a pretty decent sized town) not a lot of people mess with me and I usually turn a lot of heads because my car is kept pretty clean.

Plus it's debadged, and a lot of the time I really take off from red lights

 

next thing I know I was holding onto the wheel for dear life (fighting the torque steer and trying not to go into their lane)

at least you have two hands to fight it... hhaa

dumb scruffy scruff scruffs

 

they are not slow, but it seems pretty rare for one to dyno in above 160 HP stock... pretty lame for a "250 HP" car. after a boat load of mods the guy that owns the car in the photo was at 193 FWHP, and about 200 lb/ft torque. no barn burner for sure @ 3900 lbs!... I have no doubt not only my SPG, but my SUNBIRD would take one from a light- no problem :lol:

 

damn thats a lot of car!

 

This must be a chrylser/dodge big body sedan club or something, look in the backgroud. Looks weird to me, but then they probably would say the same to a pic from one of the saab meets.

 

I rode in one of those before. Very comfortable, but it was a like riding a boat.

I wonder how the story would turn out if abdukted raced a 300 hemi? That'd be interesting...

meh, if theyre anything like the hemi dodge ram pickups, it wouldnt be very different, gotta remember that just cause its a hemi, dont make it a fast car.

some ******* in a hemi ram learned that the hard way one day :wink:

You obviously have not tried to race a Magnum/Charger/300C Hemi. They are not like the truck and trust me, the results would have been much different.

And yes, 300M's are slow...very very slow.

 

theres a magnum wagon doing 9.8 in the quarter at my local track.... i don't know if it's modded or not. sounds stock though. the trucks ( hemi) get 10.22 in the 1/8 70.2 mph.... could be driver error ???

 

dude 9.8 is impossible stock if you really mean quarter mile...maybe 8th mile or it was just incredibly modded and sleeper

 

wow! sorry about that yes 1/8.....!!!!!! :shock:

 

well either way, they arent that fast people, you figure they have like 345hp, but they weigh a hell of a lot more than any saab, and we're only down like 100hp, and no it wasnt driver error, its a damn automatic pickup truck! :lol:

Paul

 

i agree, that there not that fast. i wonder what they get in the quarter. still good for a truck. and what the hell is a super bee (truck) rumble bee i think. isn't there a truck r/t ? a V-10 viper motored truck? i remember reading about one. at the track, any truck other then diesel, that gets under 10.00 in the 1/8th. is either a lighting, or modded truck. not too shabby for a 35000 truck

 

Its a Dodge Ram SRT-10. First available only in two-door, now four-door versions. It has the same V10 as in the Viper. It even says Viper on the engine.

 

The wierd thing is that those cars were rated from the factory with like 250hp I think...I don't know how though because they are slow as ass.

cause american engineers cant seem to make a car weigh under 4000 pounds

from what a co-worker told me about the rumble bee, the only special thing is the paint, the wing, and some plaque on the dash that says limited edtion or something :lol: gotta love mopar, theyre so damn creative.

and those turbo deisels...they can prove to be troublesome, i mean most of em have 4 rear wheels...thats alot of traction, especially nice if you have damn near 900ft/lbs :lol:

Paul

 

what ever you do, do not ever try to go against a black dodge ram in my town thats lifted and and a turbo diesel.I watched a 2002 corvette get its ass handed to it.lot of black smoke through...rumor has it that runs 13.48 at the 1/4.not to shabby for a 8k pound truck...
