Dragging Alero? (The dragging that produces sparks. Lol.)

[JoshGentry]

I've saw a picture online of an Alero throwing sparks on an interstate or something. It was on Google images. I've looked for a couple hours now and can't remember what I searched to find it. Can I get a little help? Lol.

there's a mini truckin video on youtube with his car in it and it is of course draggin.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: I wanna go draggin', never done it, but I wanna go

Lolol. I kinda do think it's pretty cool. But only if there is a special plate or something that is creating the sparks. If it's the actual frame dragging, that's retarded. Lol. But still looks Great. (: if someone finds that link to that video it'd be awesome.

[pimpalero2003]

Look up neon draggin on YouTube buddy posted it on my myspace couple years ago. But it was actually an alero dragging

Uploader is a moron.

[JoshGentry]

Fffffuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccckkkkkkkk! I can't watch it from the hospitals wireless. Ghey! But yeh, if he thought it was a neon, he's a moron. Lol.

[cherrington17]

Richie definitely had a plate....

are those just blocks of steel?

I've seen videos of titanium blocks

where do you get titanium blocks?

[JoshGentry]

Eh, the picture I seen made me a whole lot more interested in it. Lol. Not so cool in a video!

[slownlow43]

It's a good thing there aren't more minitruckers on here. Otherwise you'd have one hell of an argument on your hands ;)

[hok666]

:lol:I thought so too:haha:

[riceburner2006]

My grand am drags...

[clutch1]

There was a really cool rolling shot of richie's car dragging during the daytime for/from a video shoot. Anyone have that floating around??

[cavaliers60]

my question is, why? What's the benefit of dragging your car on the ground? :lol:

[pimpalero2003]

Also he did have a feature in a crimepays video no clue which one al the ones I have haven't seen him

[clutch1]

Same reason men like welding, grinding, and all that... cuz it throws sparks everywhere

[kwhauck]

there are very few n-bodies that are quick, and yours isnt one of them.

fixed, there isn't a single n-body that is fast IMO

[Gr1m]

that 10second GA isnt fast enough for you?

[kwhauck]

I don't know of a 10 second GA......

and tube framed RWD vehicles with some grand am body parts, does not count......

[Ttop191]

^ atleast one that isn't simply a shell of a car

No "true" N-body has actually done under 12 probably...all have tube frames, or beastly engine swaps

[Gr1m]

i recall seeing a video of a black GA with slicks running just around 10seconds, thought it was a milzy prototype or something IIRC.

[kwhauck]

Milzy race car has only run a 12.1 as far as I know.....and only a 12.3 is slip/video proven.....

[JoshGentry]

It's a good thing there aren't more minitruckers on here. Otherwise you'd have one hell of an argument on your hands ;)

lol. definitely not trying to start an argument! lol. Just think if youre gonna do it, you should use the blocks or the bars, NOT THE FRAME! lol. Seems like using the frame would lead to your car falling apart. But the blocks, eh, highly doubt thatd hurt. I guess the video looked a little dumb because they were going hella slow and just going back and forth. lol. Seems like it be sick just to be on the interstate dragging with some speed to throw the sparks farther behind you. but yeh, i think it looks pretty sick.

FranktheTank, if thats your truck, i love it. i even have a picture of it saved on my ipad. Sickkkk. And does Redog really have thousands of dollars invested in his engine???

[Ttop191]

to answer your questions...Yes, and Yes lol

[hok666]

and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX9HIZQERdc

this is exactly why I want an s-10 or sonoma. there's a chevy extreme with a cowl induction hood for sale in my area I want it bad!! its $5000.00 with 172,000 miles that seems like to high of a price

[pimpalero2003]

Do have on a DVD a ga dragging had painted over lights an was primer and orange I think

[JoshGentry]

@hok666. The first video was sick. That's exactly how I'd wanna drag if I was doing it. The second video was throwin a little too wide for my taste. I'd love to try that but I ride with no pressure in my bags a lot. Like 90 percent of the time I'm slammed. I don't wanna throw sparks every time. Lol.

[polarexpress17]

I remember richies car before it was even the baby blue primer. was always one of my favorites.

Haven't been on here in awhile, but what ever happened to silent's car?

[kwhauck]

Some kid from chicago bought it and brought it back to a decent state from the hacked pile it was before. Now he is trying to sell it.

[FrankTheTank]

FranktheTank, if thats your truck, i love it. i even have a picture of it saved on my ipad. Sickkkk. And does Redog really have thousands of dollars invested in his engine???

my truck is the one in my sig.

Drag blocks are not metioned too much before your post. '

[slownlow43]

lol. definitely not trying to start an argument! lol. Just think if youre gonna do it, you should use the blocks or the bars, NOT THE FRAME!

I truly pray that the "bars" you are referring to aren't the 2 or 4 link bars. IMO the safest, most responsible way to drag is a plated frame. After seeing pics of a drag block go through a windshield, plating seems to be the best way. Again, IMO

Oh, and you want drag footage? Here you go. I witnessed most of this dragging here in KC. :coolio:

after that vid I want to bag my truck....if only I had the money

[slownlow43]

If you're serious about wanting to bag your truck PM me. A damn good friend of mine is puting a KP 6-link on his OBS and he's looking to sell his old rear setup, rear end and all. He'd probably sell it for fairly cheap too.

[kwhauck]

poor guy at the end of that vid, that sucks....

like I said, I'd really love to but money is extremely tight right now..but sometime in the near future I'm going to start saving for it..if I can ever stop pouring money into the engine..

[hok666]

I love that video. Got that one saved in my favorites as well

[clutch1]

Hey, you always comment in my project threads.. must mean I have cool projects, ahaha.

[FrankTheTank]

sorry, my bad.

[cherrington17]

Now you are offending more than one person.

Does it matter? So we're allowed to offend one person, but not alot of people? Why is redog allowed to bash frank, but frank can't bash back? Its all their opinions.

I agree with frank that heavily modding our cars is a horrible financial investment. But I can defend that very same statement in the fact that we all have a hobby or two that have zero financial returns to it. We do it because it makes us happy. (at least for a time)

I think minitrucks are pointless... but I can admire the time and work put into it. His truck looks pretty sweet... I'd never own one. Don't see a point... but he likes it. So be it. How is this different from him expressing his opinion about aleros?

And redog, I find it laughable that you say Frank is an internet stalker for you. You troll most of my posts, and even started on facebook before I deleted your comments. Look at the pot calling the kettle black.

[kwhauck]

All cleaned.......

[clutch1]

sorry, my bad.

no, no, it's a good thing I mean :lol:

[billytheman1188]

All cleaned.......

lol..... maybe its for the best ;)


Anyways..... do those "drag plates" usually get welded to the frame? Prolly a dumb question cause it seems like that would be the best/most durable option but i was wondering if people bolt them to the frame too?

[FrankTheTank]

no, no, it's a good thing I mean :lol:
lol due to a mediocre job of cleaning up this thread, it was made to look like i was apologizing to you, but in reality it was a sarcastic apology to redog. :lol:

Mediocre. :lol: I left that there on purpose, I thought it was funny how it turned out to look. I should move it to another post and see what happens....lol
