Showdown?

Redog · 03-16-2005, 09:49 PM

Who would like to do something like this, since our Aleros are so slow the GA boys should have no problem showing up.

I've been called out but I'm not going alone.

This would happen at either Acto or Rapeway park which are both in NJ. I didn't post anything on GAGT yet, I want to see who would like to go

I think ur takin this to far dood, sheesh..... lol. BOTH are slow!

Redog · 03-16-2005, 10:07 PM

Maybe so, It's just that I was called out but I'm not going alone, I don't know or trust anybody over there

Redog · 03-16-2005, 10:14 PM

On second thought you're probably right but still, I love racing and when you post up slpis and they still saying that that's not you that's insane

They couldn't say I was the other car in this case. I raced a 12 second Mustang :rolleyes:

are u racing stock ga's or modded ga's? not that it matters, i'm just curious.

Redog · 03-16-2005, 11:05 PM

Whatever, it doesn't matter

Modded or stock

Ill race you with my 5 sec. alerho

Red,
don't take this the wrong way but they are only calling you out because of the whole timing advance issue.

Secondly you basically insulted their cars. I'm not surprised at them being a little bit hostile to you.

I don't think any of them really believe you didnt run that time. With those mods your time is pretty standard.

On that board there are few that know some things, a few who think they know some things, and a bunch of lemmings who just want to be roosters. You dont post there much anyway, you might as well ignore the poop cause I dont think a ga vs alero pissing match is worth your time.

Redog · 03-17-2005, 08:30 AM

^^Yeah your right, I really didn't like them talking down about the timing issue. Forumla said it the other day about headers causing the car to run lean and I guess that's why the timing was changed.

I understand what they said, but I know some stuff too, and I guess I was just pissed that they keep using the words "Magic Timing" The fact is that timing can be adjusted on any motor, not that is helps every motor. I mean the PCM's that they sell advance timing too.

I still think sc/alero and Oldsman said it best, if it's not a GA, then it can't be done

I'm in a Grand Am Club with my old Alero. That Ecotec used to eat Grand Am's alive and it pissed them off. I could beat any grand am of any year except the 1992-1993 Grand Am H.O. Quad 4's (175HP from a top end screamer is a hard HP difference to make up). Even then they only beat me .1-.2 seconds.

However, there are some fast modded G/A's out there. A friend in my club with very similar mods to you Redog ran a 14.98 in his Grand Am GT 2 Door at the end of last year. It was super cold, but still a good run. He has a 3400 automatic and a , CAI, exhaust from the downpipe back, and might have had his header on by then.

I guess what I am saying is that both cars are similar it is the mods and the driver, not the car. Yuo should run that guy, it would be an awesome race! (but we are in Toronto)

I would love a race like that. Not to show the other guy up but just to have 2 cars neck and neck the entire track and win by a hair or less, now that's a cool race. And the cars are slow enough to enjoy it instead of 2 blurs going by :thumbsup:

If its going to be a little warmer out whenever you guys go to the track, I will bring out Brandi's car.

FormulaNERD · 03-17-2005, 03:38 PM

can i play?

Redog · 03-17-2005, 04:44 PM

Why not

03-17-2005, 05:47 PM

man i wish i was closer i would come out and play would be cool as all hell. that way they could see for their own eyes. instead of me having to prove myself

03-18-2005, 03:49 AM

Well considering my friend who has a 00 GAGT w/ JUST an SLP exhaust (stock intake) runs low 15's and beats me by like 2 carlengths.....I'd say royal ass whomping for the Alero's (unless you find all factory freaks to go).

03-18-2005, 07:38 AM

sounds like you have a dog. An alero and a grand am with equal mods should be pretty close to the same et's. The only thing different for the gt's is they have a different gearing. The differance is not huge though. In fact, the fastest NA ga is an se which has the same gearing as us.

I dont think I would have any problem running with them, but that is way to far for me to drive.

Redog · 03-18-2005, 08:27 AM

I don't really think it's going to happen anyway. I posted dates that I'm racing in points and nobody has responded yet :rolleyes: I didn't check this morning though

Edit:Just checked, 19 hits, no takers :rolleyes:

Quoted post

stock for stock, 3400 vs 3400, they're just a little faster. anyone that says different is in denial. im not saying every gagt is faster than every v6 alero, but in general they're faster. the extra gearing would really help us out (3.05 vs 3.29 for those who dont know, most do). a worthwhile mod if the tranny every poops out on the alero

tranny's can be found for less than 300

Redog · 03-23-2005, 05:55 PM

But for the 3400 motors in the GA and Alero that is the only difference
