Thread: ion from hell

on my way to work this morning and i go to hop on the highway. it's a fun on-ramp, downhill, little banking, and a long sweeping left curve. i'm behind the newest body style civic si, and they're always fun to pick on. he's giving it hell down it, so i'm obliged to do so as well. the highway was unusually empty this morning, and he hopped in the middle lane and we slow down to get side by side and take off. i start to pull on him pretty decently... and then my buddy josh comes out of nowhere and blows both our doors off. i'm in my stock TC balt, i'm assuming the civic was stock or bolt-on... his ion redline is on a TVS blower and ethanol. good feeling gone, but at least the civic got beat by two GM cars this morning

Fun stuff now get that dang gp done

no kidding. here's a shocker though: my girlfriend totalled her car recently, so we've decided that she's gonna end up paying for what's left to do to it and DD it until she can bank up a little money for a car. makes the most sense financially, but i really hope it holds up. it's not like i built that car to be a DD ever again

sucks about her car but at least you'll get to make sure the gp is reliable lol

You got beat by a blown Ion? Bring me the Cobalt.

Cornfed TVS LSJ > Stock LNF...

That's like 300+ WHP to maybe 260, lul.

C'mon now.

This isn't internet racing, it's me fixing a TC Cobalt. Yeah, C'mon now.

Details are left out.

Quit leaving me in the dark.

Hold on, I'll get a fleshlight

Well TVS + L67 + XP cam + E60 (snowflake correct me if I'm wrong) = 350 WHP.

So hopefully just over half the displacement isn't making as much power.

They normally make in the range of 350+...HP figures are actually kinda close, it's the TQ figures that make the displacement obvious...

Here is a pump gas TVS car making 335 to the wheels... TVS COBALT DYNO - YouTube

2 hours and mudhole in ass stomping from Cobalt shall occur. Bring. To. Me.

he said he put down a 13.8 with a 2.5 60' at the track. id like to get side by side in the right gear with him to see what happens, but i'm sure it'll be the same story. the car is no joke

13.8 is no joke?

Phil, phil...phil.

13.8 with sh!tty 2.5 60' nick... meaning it's back-halfing like a mother f*cker and could go much quicker with a better launch.


brah.
