yes. but we kept it eh hem.... "safe."

we took it out on the highway away from pedestrians. The highway we race on is rather deserted in the evening...no pedestrians or innocent bystanders. The racers range in age from 16 to 50 and cars from dumb assed Cavaliers to 700 HP muscle cars.

My baby:

In June last year, I was >< close (had the check for downpayment written out!) to buying a 2002 Cobra SVT...however my requirements were to be able to have 2 jumper seats in the back seat with room for legs...there wasn't even room for childrens legs in the Cobra's backseat..and the fact that my head rested firmly on the door jam regardless of seat position finally swayed my opinion away from the Cobra.

Ah.. thanks for the link. His page changed location and I didn't know the new URL. Everybody has to stop by at least to check out the Diablo story(at bottom of page)... it spurned this incredible response from the driver:

Guesss who i am ? Im the guy with the Diablo SV that you unauthorisingly took a picture of.....and since your such a little jelous peon like many people i encounter....proceded too just talk alota inaccurate toejam about.....because your whole aim was too just try too cut down somebody who you know your not equal too.....and probably never have a life compared too mine....especially at my young age of 25.
First off.....if you had any dignity which you obviously dont....because you have a website dedicated too ridiculing people......you would tell the whole story.

If your a regular at the Autocross events.....you should know that i have attended several times.....and the time and photo you posted are accurate of my first run on a track that i just arrived at....with no walk through....and taking it easy the first couple times around.

If you payed any attention.....im sure you know how my times basically dropped about 10-15 seconds the 2nd time around.....and proceded too get dramitically better of 4-8 seconds for the next several times.

Im probably wasting my time telling you this.....you probably know damn well how much my times improved....and how the things you said was only aimed at slandering me because of your sorry little poor life......and not being honest.

You can bet....its not a good thing too have very rich people who know many other people too be on their bad side.

I challenge you too put up my letter alongside your comments.......in uncensored form.......but you probably wont.....because your whole aim is too talk toejam.....and toejam is all your full of !

Sincerally,

Mr.Diablo

P.S. Dont bother replying......your email will be deleted as soon as i receive it.....because its probably full of toejam also.

JoeDirt, perhaps you need a lesson in reality.

A Subaru WRX outracing a Corvette? Are you nucking futs? Or just stupid? There's the basic starting point of the Corvette having a better power-to-weight ratio than the WRX, but wait - it gets better! Perhaps you've heard the words "transfer of weight" or "transfer of power" before? Lemme explain it in simple terms for ya. Corvette: Hit the gas, and the acceleration is going to put most of the weight over the rear wheels. The rear wheels are the drive wheels. Result? Better friction for drive wheels. Better acceleration, and better speed. Impreza WRX: All-wheel drive. Which means, what? That only 40% of the power is on the back wheels, which makes it far less able to take advantage of weight-transfer than the 'Vette. At least it has some power on the rear wheel.

Don't get me wrong, the WRX is a great car, but a better performance vehicle than the Corvette? Puh-lease

.

It's for that reason that massive wings are so wasted on FWD and AWD cars. Makes them look stupider than they are already, since it essentially amounts to a massive neon sign reading "MORON" in twenty-foot high letters.

Real easy for ya: FWD - very practical, more efficiency, better mileage, safer in slippery conditions. RWD - Better for power, takes advantage of weight transfer, better in a racing vehicle for controlling slides through turns, oversteer specifically. AWD - Safest in bad weather conditions. Not so fuel efficient.

And ya know, that riceboy site guy may be an amazinhunk, but at least he isn't an idiot.

Hell, I know where I stand, at least. My first car will probably be a Geo Metro hatchback. Either that or a Honda Civic hatchback. I firmly occupy the bottom of the totem pole here

.

JoeDirt · « **Reply #57 on:** May 08, 2002, 09:03:54 PM »

i thot i mentioned he suped his car up?

ispar · « **Reply #58 on:** May 08, 2002, 09:25:24 PM »

So what, JoeDirt? Let's see here. Under the hood of the WRX we have a little horizontally opposed 1.9 liter 4-banger that generates 227 hp at 6000 revs and 217 lb-ft of torque at 4000 revs, stock. (2002 model)

Corvette? *Ahem*. This car has a 5.7 liter V8 engine that generates a maximum of 350 horsepower. Sorry, I couldn't find numbers on the torque, but it's in the 300 lb-ft range, plus. Plus, it has rear wheel drive. This is all stock, again, 2002 model.

Now try to explain to me how there is any way in hell that this guy could "supe up" his little WRX to come anywhere near a stock Corvette? Even if it were possible to make that poor little four cylinder generate the one hundred and twenty-three additional horsepower it would need to only close the gap that the two cars have in performance, there is still a weight-transfer problem. It's also worth noting that all-wheel drive is going to rob more horsepower from the raw specs than rear-wheel drive will. But then, have you ever heard of a 4 cylinder, 1.9 liter engine that could generate 350 hp? If so, please tell me. And then prove it, because I find it impossible to believe that any amount of mods could give such a massive boost in performance.

There is only one possible way your pal could have won that race: He is really good, and the guy driving the 'Vette really, and I mean really sucks.

Capt. Virgil Hilts

I have an 84 Regal T-Type also. Was planning to restore it (to an extent) and part of the process was to rebuild the original engine. Where are you located - got a brocure? - web site?

Thanks,
