Umm ok. Ill be back I need new shorts on now

ExTurbo · 02-24-2009, 11:55 AM

chalk up another win for mellon...sick car man, 40lbs is ridiculous

John Doe · 02-24-2009, 12:03 PM

Camaro didn't even show up, neither did the GTOs or that Vette for that matter. Just horrible

I wanna see the Mellon Evo vs. FI C6 Z06 race

I do too!

gdev_ · 02-24-2009, 01:00 PM

You should race on ice next time, probably get better traction

1st-BAD-LS1 · 02-24-2009, 01:16 PM

EVO is ridiculous, no doubt about that!! I just really want to see more with the EVO at the track... AWD on the street is like RWD on a prepped track. lets make it comparable

Mellon · 02-24-2009, 01:37 PM

the camaro and I both ran at the track in october on the same night and set our personal bests

him - 10.8 @ 126
me - 10.4 @ 135 (100awhp ago on 93 octane and smaller turbo) *vid* http://www.racevideoforums.com/forum...k-ecu-mas.html

jmd · 02-24-2009, 02:07 PM

dam that evo is fast.

I got some drag radials on the car now, hopefully I can get some better runs out of em.

Im the red gto btw

and as always nice vid mellon

Mellon · 02-24-2009, 04:15 PM

that's good to hear enzo, ready to see what the car can do when you aren't pedaling it through a few gears

1st-BAD-LS1 · 02-24-2009, 05:29 PM

Mellon I know that car is crazy, I am just saying on the track against some worthy competition. like Mick's GTO or a Large single turbo camaro etc. I guess without taking anything away from your car I want to see you run something when you are the underdog..

Mellon · 02-24-2009, 05:39 PM

I have a 4 door 4 cylinder daily driver, I'm always the underdog bro

I'm often racing caged, slicked, trailor queens with parachutes

1st-BAD-LS1 · 02-24-2009, 10:40 PM

LOL!!! You make a valid point... But I know all about you guys. My friend here has one with the AMS 2.3L stroker, dual injector per cylinder manifold, GT37R turbo, the whole deal!!

Or just a race with someone else trapping in the 130s.

126 is fast for the Camaro, but not in same league as your car.

Jo jo · 02-25-2009, 06:01 AM

Who was driving(lack thereof) that black GTO? driver mod needed bad. And some better tires.

Also, how did the Z06 lose to the freaking Passat and an s-10 pickup?

Oh yea, your EVO is fast

GMMillwright · 02-25-2009, 06:29 AM

That EVO is super-bad. Camaro had no chance. You had better traction and at least 100 whp more. Simple physics. Any idea what you car 60' is on the street?

He has raced and won against

Turbo Foxbody that traps 144+
Turbo T/A that traps 151

It's not like mellon is picking on them. They asked for the races.

The passat has a turbo upgrade, tuned, and out drives nearly everyone in his power level with FWD.

The s-10 is a 305 with a cam, bored .40 and a 100 shot.

The Z06 has old tires and the driver is learning the car. Has had it about a month now. Bone stock 405bhp.

Daniel Linnett · 02-25-2009, 08:22 AM

I may have to try and make it to one of these in the future. I wont be able to hook from a dig but it should be fun none the less.

I'll let mellon answer that but I can tell you it's nothing amazing. Still spins through 1st... but it did do a whole lot better this time with the new m&h/smaller wheel combo.

Oh I forgot all about Shannon who has trapped 13x mph I believe. Have personally seen him trap 126-128 multiple times.

I think shannon is going to put up a good fight next time out. Mini tub etc. Should be a good one as he already has somewhere in the neighborhood of 600rwhp.

that was a 1.88..best I've seen on the g-tech was 1.73, nothing too good and I gave the camaro the hit accidentally.

Diablo SS · 02-25-2009, 05:43 PM

badass vids like always

Mellon · 02-26-2009, 12:01 PM

thanks

Daniel Linnett · 02-26-2009, 12:03 PM

Do yall only race from a dig? any rolling pulls? Traction is a problem

Mellon · 02-26-2009, 12:59 PM

99% of the time it's from a dig, roll racing takes the driver out of it and makes it a simple hp/weight contest

bfargin1 · 02-26-2009, 01:50 PM

Good/fast numbers but man those EVOs are ugly cars.

Then can we race to 1/2 mile?
