I'm probably going to be taking my hummer to the TnT tonight at prp....

What do you think its going to run?

Its an 06 H3 automatic, with a leveling kit (lift for the front), .125 gauge steel brush guard and 34's. I'm going to "launch" it the best I can. I might take the airbox cover off if I feel like really kickin it up a notch. :rollingfloorrlol:

I weigh 195. I might be bringing a friend or two if they can get out of their boyfriend duties for the night.

SO... what do you think I'll run?
60'?
1/8th & mph?
1/4 & mph?

or will PRP close :o

[2001GTTT]

22.73 @ 66.8mph.

[MBH]

60'?
**** thats what my dad said it would run. The thing can't get out of its own way. I have an idea in my head that I'll post before I leave :beerchug:

[mineralrob]

21.4@80 lol

[scott5]

HAHA... 19-21 with a 3.5 60'

take the red car or both. i will lend my driving duties on that red one. haha

Why not take the car in your sig that actually can get out of it's own way?

Never been down a 1/4 before, either as a passenger or, more importantly, as a driver. I'm still honing in my driving skills on that car, but I'm not all that consistent with it. I've launched it 2 times, and neither went well. So I'm going to get some more seat time in it before I take it. I'm getting the shifts down pretty well though, when I'm "on" I can click off gears like an automatic... just ask 97laserred :awsome:

But essentially, I'm nervous about it, and I don't feel like I have enough experience in the cobra to justify it, so I'd be pretty disappointed in all likelihood. With the hummer I have absolutely no expectations, so anything that is 2 digits is good LMAO. I also know what the previous owner did in the 1/4, so I know what its capable of. (I told a local evo x owner it runs a 13.2, don't tell!)

[MBH]

HAHA... 19-21 with a 3.5 60'

19.21? at what speed? a 3.5 sec 60' is reeks of a 26 in the 1/4 lol

[scott5]

i am guessing a 65-70 range... i was messing with the 3.5... you should be somewhere 2.5 range

[MBH]

lol!

I bet that this is what I run, but we'll see.
60' ....... 2.4
et ........ 18.3
mph....... 84

The car is slow as balls. 5000 lbs w/ 34" tires, 4 speed auto with overdrive, and the aerodynamics of a refrigerator. I hope I don't get kicked out for not having a cage!

[scott5]

make sure heat up your tires REALLY good maybe get that to a 2.0

[MBH]

Are you coming tonight?

I'm thinking I should put as much air pressure in my tires as I can to cut down on the rolling resistance. Traction won't be an issue, as it can barely do donuts in 3 inches of snow.

God this is such a dumb idea hahaha :pepper:

My old superduty would have put that hummer on the trailer. I should have thought about this and raced you in the bronco but, forgot about this tonite. You still should have took the red car. Practise makes perfection.

lmao I never bought it for its powertrain. I heart diesels though.

I thought about taking big red, but I would rather familiarize myself with it, plus none of my buddies seem to be able to escape their gfs tonight

wait ... whats that noise in the distance... the crack of a whip? oh, what a pity :rofl:

[speedracer]

At least it's not the color of a refrigerator

[John4cam]

I saw your first blistering run...18.50 I think it was?

[blizzard]

any vids? :rofl:

[MBH]

18.52 @ 74.88 thank you very much! :o:rollingfloorrlol::rollingfloorrlol::rollingfloo rrlol:

I was video taping it, but I ran out of batteries... damn thing was fully charged too at the beginning of the run :rolleyes:
(kidding, although I did have it in the back seat, I never used it).

I'll post some pics in a minute. Great meeting you Scott and Bob

[gmkillr]

From the looks of the cars in the staging lanes next to you, you would probably give them a good race!:D

[MBH]

I wish... I got smoked :(
It did make me want to bring out the cobra though.... maybe I'll go tomorrow to the bad boys n girls thing?

[blizzard]

haha! looked fun!

ROFL at the 4x4 cavalier with neons :rofl:

[NateSVT]

I was there tonight with my two buddies in their Terminators. I was riding with Anthony (SALEENGTROUSH) in the black 03 KB Cobra and Jake brought his Torch Red 04. I saw your Hummer at the end of the night but wasn't sure if it was yours (didn't see this thread until now) and was going to go ask but I was about to miss my friends runs (I was filming their runs) then we left. I'll post some pics and vids tomorrow.
Can't wait for my car to be done so I can bring it up there:biglaugh:

[scott5]

18.5s baby!!!!!!!! haha..

talked to bo, gates, bob, and some other folk....

I thought that was you nate in the car with gates at the end of his last run.. I was driving by in a black ws6..

[Terminated]

That is a hot stuntin' Cavy.

I was wonderin if that was you or not. You were wearing a white t shirt and you have darker hair? I didn't want to be a creeper and say hey, I have a hunch that your name is nate and I talked to u on da intranets before and have it turn out to be somebody else hahaha.

What did nate and jake end up running? Whats jake have done to his?

Did you by chance get any of my runs, or did you run out of tape/batteries before the run was over. I'd love to point out the fact that that big turd of mine put a hurt on that Si out of the hole on my last run (~10 pm).

There was some little guy wearing a hummer shirt there too that looked familiar. Does he own an evo by chance?

[mineralrob]

You mean gates?:goodidea:

I don't think so...?

Nate was riding shotty with Jake?
Gates is Anthony, or did I mess that up?

[scott5]

Nate was with gates (black car) that you met over by sam and his navigator

[scott5]

oh and there last runs were both 12.3s and 12.4

[MBH]

OH, I just realized I typed nate instead of gates. whoops!


lol ok, so help me out with this.

black kb = anthony (gates?)
orange dust bunny @ mikes shop = nate, who rode along in the red 04
red 04 = jake (is he on the forum?)
sam = guy with the gator. Does he have a cobra?

scott = thank god you found me or it woulda been a pretty boring night.

[scott5]

sam was teh one who had the black navi and yes he has an 04 torch red cobra and an 07 gt500...

red 04 is jake, dunno if he was on here
Orange cobra is nate (car was not up there)
Yes the black 04 KB cobra was anthony gates (met him over by navi)

[scott5]

Sorry i didnt get to see your last run, had to help load my buddies black t/a due to own problem on the roll back

[MBH]

sam was teh one who had the black navi and yes he has an 04 torch red cobra and an 07 gt500...

Damn, and he's our age? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!?

edit: hey no problem, you didn't miss much! I was going to swing by again but I couldn't see if you guys were still there or not, I didn't see that big white truck when I was coming back so I assumed u guys just took the black car home early. Great meeting ya scott!

[NateSVT]

hahah yea that was me.

Jake's Cobra (04 Torch Red with Saleen wing) just has a 2.8" upper, no port. His best was a 12.3 @ 115. He was just on street tires so his 60's weren't that great.
The black 03 Cobra is Gates'. His first name is Anthony. He's running 17lbs on the KB. His best time last night was 12.0 @ 126. Not bad for running on bald 275s and a stock 40k mile slipping clutch. His best time with slicks is 11.12 @ 130.

Sorry man, didn't get any of your runs. If I knew it was you I would have filmed:o

I don't know the kid that was wearing the Hummer shirt but I did hear his friend say he has a white Evo.

[MBH]

Sounds good, and no worries. Wish I'd have known it was you I'd have said something... as far as mu truck goes, it woulda been a waste of film anyway lol


I don't know the kid that was wearing the Hummer shirt but I did hear his friend say he has a white Evo.
I think I recognized him from some videos online. Almost positive its him. He's like 17 or 18 years old and has a video camera worth ~2 grand iirc. I'm not a stalker I swear, its just things like that stick out so I remember them. Sometimes I think I might have a photographic memory, its just out of film most of the time lol

[NateSVT]

haha yea that was probably him. He was probably around 18 and was carrying around a nice Nikon DSLR.
Will you be taking the Cobra to the track at all this summer? When my car is done and broken in I need another ported Eaton Cobra to compete with haha. I just want to beat my old best time of 11.9 @ 122.5 on street tires which shouldn't be too hard.

[MBH]

ya I'll be taking it for sure, that was a lot of fun in the hummer so I can imagine how much more fun it would be in the cobra. I was going to take it tonight to be honest, but I'm going to take a friend out to the bars for a bit. I our cars will be pretty equal with your new motor (since yours should make more power but is a vert and I have better tires), but I've never tracked it before so the first couple of times could get ugly for me. Hell I've only launched it twice from a stop (no traction FTMFL). Should be some fun races between us!!

[Stangman701]

Let me know when you're headed out Nate. I might head up. Our cars should be pretty close if you're still running the ported eaton.

[John4cam]

I'll go up when the cobras are going, im still trying for 11's. The black Kb cobra was having some traction issues I saw but it does pull hard on the top end. The red 04 looked good too I thought. I like the fact that two hondas broke while watching!!

[Martin0660]

Great meeting you Scott and Bob

Great to meet you too. I wish I had MY car there.

Bob Myers

[Terminated]

Damn I need to know where you guys are getting all this money at to have a nice DD in addition to your Terminators haha.

[scott5]

ray i am pretty sure that nate upgrade to the KB 2.2...

Yea bo we were over putting air in the tires for the drive home

[yellowstang03]

the one with the expensive camera was rob himler....he is amazing with that camera...

I don't have any speakers, but the eaton rolls out pretty hard on the KB til about 3rd(?) and goes down hard in 4th. Damn it I want to hear that lol
