I did race one about a month ago with my modded GT although he had two other people in the car I hung with him from 55-90 then he started slowly pulling away.

They run mid to high 14's from the factory in the 1/4...which is about spot on with your car. If you yanked it on the highway then something was up...because that DOHC 3.6 is gonna run you down hard after 60/70 mph.

Sorry that he messed with ya and go your hopes up? Go get headers/3.4" and a good tune and go find him and really run him down.

This.



Sidenote: My sisters husband just got a 2012 RS/SS that I'm waiting for him to break in so I can take it for a spin.

So what does that say about YOUR car??

I'm still waiting for some tool with a new SS and an complex to roll up on me, hasn't happened yet.

I might have to look into that. Im not crazy about losing mpgs, but if its minor I can deal with it. As long as the hp gains are worth it. Im not expecting a drastic change in hp, but if I can't tell a dif, its not worth it to me.

go get your top end built than find that guy

i deleted egr so it can show off the s/c and clean up the engine bay a little more and honestly it does

I was in no way trying to be an ass.. I even did say sorry in my very first post for being rude...
You have to understand.. Been on this site longer then you.. And even have got sh!t myself for my built Escort.. There also have been alot of crazy people posting on here about "Killz" they couldnt possibly have done..

So.. Sorry for offending you over the internet..

One more thing.. Ive driven a new V6 Camaro.. ALOT!! They would smoke my GT.. And while driving it.. I wasted a GTP.. So.. There is where my information came from.. I didnt come at you with no information what so ever..

Both of things still don't give you the right to rag on someone.

Regardless.

No one has still seen any pics of the Escort...or speedo videos...or anything for that matter.

That's why we gave you crap.

In other news,

back on track.

If you recall, I was not doing any of the "ragging", I was simply asking where video's...and pictures were...and you still haven't tossed up anything. Last I checked a question wasn't an attack. I just wanted to try and justify an all motor ZX2 with NO forms of forced induction or a bottle runs well into the 12's. Sorry if you feel like that is an "attack"

Sorry.. Having a really bad day.. It doesnt excuse the way Ive acted in this thread...

I have pics if the car.. Tons of them.. I have no videos cause the only camera I have is on my piece of crap phone.. And it doest have video functions.. I have Metro PCS and that wasnt an option till recently..
My phone is 4 years old..
If you werent one of the ones giving me crap.. Then sorry.. I didnt pay attention to who was doing it..

Like I said.. Bad day..

When I was at the track when they first came out guy driving one could not break 15s he ran 15.1-15.5 so it would be close with a gt if it was a crap driver.

The bad driver was already at the track driving the Camaro you saw. For that guy to not be able to break into the 14s at all, he had to have sucked pretty bad. With a good driver, the V6 Camaros should run low to mid 14s. You would have to throw basically every bolt-on at a GTP just to keep up with one, let alone abuse it in a race. And even then, it would probably still kill at the top end considering that's where the 3800 falls flat on its face.

^ Idk bout that.Im sure a headerd,3.5, intake gtp could hang with a V6 camaro.

I consider an intercooler, intake/headers, injectors, a laptop tuner, 3.0" MPS all BOLT ON.

And that's good for a low 13's car.

Which would pwn a V6 Camaro and might even nose out on an SS.

And I haven't even touched the valvetrain yet, so I win.
