I've seen those things race hamma. Hell I've seen them beat porsches. (I'm not talking stock I'm talking decked out for racing) those little cars are nice and quick especially if you stick about $10,000 in them and strip out all unnessecary parts (back seat,passenger seat,stereo etc etc) See fords beat ricer's at their own games.
They wouldn't have beaten my old race car. 98' mustang cobra how I miss thee (it found a concret wall on the straight away after I got side swiped by a rookie in a car to fast for him) :tear:

superchargers are like 8k+ buddy.
edit: you'll need to spend more then 10 grand to be porsches. but it depends which porsche you wanna beat, and if its in all out speed or handling. for example, its alot easier to be a boxster with a focus then a 911 Turbo.

maybe so but I'm talking about roadcourse racing the focus weighs a good bit less then the porsche. heres a pic of the track (it's an elevation pic I looked for an over head so you could really see it but I couldn't so bear with me) http://www.summitpoint-raceway.com/SUMPTL.GIF ok from the highest point to the lowest it's a 150 foot drop from the hairpin turn at turn 1 which the focus being lighter doesn't have to slow down as much as the heavier porsche allows it to carry more speed into the turn and therefore out of it thats gain number one. turn 2 is just a slight angle so nothing to worry about there turn three minimal barking mainly just let off the gas a little and coast through about mid-way through the downhill turn 4 another slight let off the gas maybe a touch of the brakes depending on how much experience you have, turn 5 which begins the "S" which summit point is famous for (and the spinout point for alot of drivers) heavy braking so you can get through (gain point 2) then turn 6 you begin to accelerate again and just power through (focus has less weight to fight with so you can gas it a little more Gain 3) turn 7 after a short straight away is a no problem turn due to the fact your still gaining speed from turn 6 same with turn 8 Turn 9 let off gas tap brakes accelerate again. Turn 10 just apex the turn and you'll do fine, right along the straight away I got hit buy a guy in a camaro thats where I lost my baby :tear: ok back to the matter at hand to the uphill rise the focus has a slight advantage due to it's lower weight and it's ability to get through some of the turns at higher speeds. Ergo lighter=faster through turn means more ground gained means I win.
EDIT: hmmmmm this is just a run on sentance oh crap there goes my grammer award for the year oh well I don't feel like fixing so deal with it. :p

It will do......but i still wana race you in my soon-to-be-after-i-waste-my-parents-money-on-it Ram SRT.
But in this case, i'll have to keep it equal and get a SRT-4 to match the Focus.
But mark my words, even if it has to be in my grandparetns 89 accord, I challenge you to a street race! I lose, you get to temp ban me; i win, i get psu!

Turbo = Much more fun than a supercharger.
Superchargers give continuous power, but turbos are fucking ACE when you feel them kick in :D
My uncle used to have a Vauxhall Lotus Carlton (Crappy Vauxhall car tuned by Lotus) and it had such a fucking great turbo, just driving along the motorway, then *WHAM*! It was like a rocket ship (heck, I was only 8 at the time)

What I think is great about this whole thing is, when I first met Hamma (when he joined the CDL) he was all about getting the "L" and then when he got it, he was all about the speed, power, etc., not worrying about gas $$$ or payment $$$.
Now that he has met his future wife, Hamma has shifted his perspective and gotten practical, getting the best package and still carrying on the "L" legacy. Plus, he went with the Terran Republic color scheme. Impressive!
:love: Hamma! :)

Pay no attention to the Englishman, turbochargers lag. Superchargers are better. You need a good fuel system, good exhaust (does not need to be a fart pipe, just free-flowing), intake, then the supercharger.
Then we need to change that ugly red paint job. I'm thinking yellow Le Mans stripes on a blue body. :D
Rayder
2004-03-24, 09:14 PM
So... turbochargers lag?
AztecWarrior
2004-03-24, 09:18 PM
Yes. Turbochargers do not provide boost until you get high RPMs, meaning that they do not help getting off the line. IE: Worse for stoplight racers, but OK for track racers.
JetRaiden
2004-03-24, 10:00 PM
turbochargers dont nessecarily "lag" in fact most engines dont have alot of power until you get higher RPMs.

They don't if you got all the right stuff and it all set up right.
Sure you dont get the boost till higher rpm's, but it's SO much more fun being flung back into the seat when a high power turbo kicks in.
