How would we know this from a video taken far away of two cars driving past a camera?

How so? If anything you just made the waters even more murky.

You are a master mechanic with a 9 second VW, sure you spend a lot of time at the track, why not take a video there? Surely any master mechanic has access to a dyno ...

It will?

 

steve. im at a loss for words. your just too childish for me to communicate with. i sent a link, i posted a link, with pics and story of my drag car. said it runs 11s, and you still claim 9s. stop please. this just shows how much YOU exaggerate, not me. and just cause im a master tech, doesnt mean every dealer has a dyno. LOL. theres no point. do i honestly have to provide proof of my occupation to make you happy? and far away? what are you watching the vid on, an atari? double click the screen. its nice and clean, and there is zoom. providing you watched it from flix. steve hasnt run his turbo s2k at the track yet either, but he spanked a mid 12 second vette. so i guess he runnin high 13s too?? LOL. jeezus.

later. thanks to all who have been positive.

 

so streetfire.net, and racingflix.com, and the other 100 sites there just to compare cars on video, those are all a waste ay? cant tell whos fast by a vid ay? i guess everyone of them provides timeslips and dynos on the vids?? god.
please may this not turn into a turd tossing fest like every other one of the posts steve sets foot on... *prays*

 

hey, you're the one that asked for it!! I kept my damn mouth shut and let you have your thread. Then YOU made some smart ass comment and opened the can of worms, then get all pissy once we respond.

I could race a 14.5 second driver, video tape it, and make my car look like it's turbo'd. but it still wouldn't prove anything.

 

yes, i have credibility amongst many of the members here, both through long standing and through becoming a moderator and a trusted member. for the most part, people will trust that I'm not lying, and things that I claim are neither law defying or unheard of.

and yes, it can make the car do low 13's. an illinois member on this forum did it, and in fact, did it right in front of me. 13.3 with JUST 4.57 gears. nothing else. this shouldn't be a shock, considering the effect it has on the car. have i dont it myself? no. all i have thus far are 13.6's on a 90 degree day at 900 feet elevation and 2.2 60' times.

as for dave's video, there is a difference between my video and dave's. like it or not, most people trust my word on this forum. i already explained that above.

 

[QUOTE=S2oooNvegas,Nov 16 2005, 04:44 PM] so streetfire.net, and racingflix.com,

 

Okay here is how it stands as I see it.. (not that anybody really cares what I think, but that is the beauty of the internet)

Some people believe Dave, including ones who actually know him and have street raced him.

Is there anyone on here who has raced him and thinks that his car is not much faster than a stock S?

Some people will never believe dave until he puts dyno numbers/track times.

Here is the solution

1. Dave go to the track and get vids with the board showing the time
2. Get dynoed
3. Forget about 1 or 2, continue to post nice vids which most less sceptical will believe, and just ignore the nay-sayers/posters

Please do 1 or 2. I believe you, but would like to see 1 or 2.

 

thanks fish's

im workin on all that. one thing at a time, im not omnipotent like steve.

and wis, i never pissed or moaned once. just wanted to see you say something nice.

fishs does have the best point, i have credibilty with those who matter, the people who i see every day, and those who i race on the weekends.

 

and, i dont care what ET i ran or he, or anyone ran. you can see how much faster i am than a stock one. so when i claim i beat XXX car, you can go, well, i cant see a stock one doing so, but daves hauls. so i can see that happening. or since you are claiming that my friends cant drive then that at least gives me credit, in the claimed race as the solid driver. take it as you will. im doin my best sorry its not good enough for the mighty ap1 pilot late

 

You sent a link of a car. Yours, Santa's -- who knows.

Why do I doubt your stories?

Your claims are outrageous and the only people who seem to back you up are generally from a small group of folks that are also generally ignored as blowhards and ricers.

You claim to have 275hp with 3 mods.

You have a 11 second (or 9 -- whatever) VW -- and yet you don't know a thing about bracket racing. Surely anyone who spent time at the track in their 9 or 11 second VW would know the fundamentals of bracket racing and not claim LS1 cars are 14 second cars because they DIALED IN in the low 14's.

You have had months to get a dyno. You have had months to get a timeslip. You have done none of these. I am probably not alone in figuring this is odd given your 9 or 11 second VW experience would tend to indicate lots of time spent at the 1/4 track and likely some of it on a dyno tuning.

You want congraduations for posting a video on the Internet --- seriously what?
