Ryno's Car Thread

holy shitballs.. were not in Kansas anymore toto

my first victim was a blacked out, slammed Cadillac CTS. I saw him at a light about 4 cars up in the front row on my way to pick up some pizza... he launched it on green so i worked my way up to the opposite lane before the next light. He knew what was up...

My tune includes feature that will hold my RPM's at 4000 until i dump the clutch...

through 1st gear it was even, but when i hit second i pulled away (65mph at 6000rpm) , by third it was over.... don't think he bothered to hit 4th. I called Foshe to celebrate..

damn, no congratulations or nothing? fuck you guys....

I hope you smoke a luxury vehicle.....

I can't wait till the first 'stang or camaro tries to step up to the plate...

If i lose, i promise to post what beat me.

Nice job, it's so fun owning a fast car, I am jealous.

How did it hook up when you launched at 4 grand. Maybe a bit high for street rubber?

it's touchy, especially on the crap Conti's i got on there (they have 27,000 miles on them) i still heard some squeelin' well into 2nd... im looking at



i love the pattern... and it's a quality z rated tire... still not sure though

Nice ride Ryno. I've driven my friend's mom's 9-3 turbo tiptronic and was impressed with the quickness. Stage 0 manual must be really fun to drive.

My next car will be an S5 black on black similar to yours, or a black on black Tahoe decked out. However, by the time I'm able to afford either of these, they may actually come out with the RS5, which I would THEN want.

For now, I drive my silver 02 CR-V with a manual in it. She zips along for what she is!

Nice win Ryno. you should carry one of those flip camcorders in the car like I do haha

I have headers, 17s, and a custom gray paint job on my Civic so I get "challenged" all the time. Too bad my car is slow as balls. I won more races in my 1979 CJ-5 Jeep lol. 90mph+ with no power steering and a wheelbase about 3 feet across gets pretty damn hairy though...

When I start teaching/coaching Im buying either a WRX or an EVO though.
Not too far away now!

Keep us updated though! Im interested to see what you could do to a V-8

I bought RE line Bridgestones form my girl's civic si. I like how they hook up, look and feel while cornering. The only bad thing I can say about them is that the road noise is quite a bit higher than her previous sets. I went with a w-rated tire.

That Cadillac likely had a V-8. If it did, it was the Northstar V-8, which is the best domestic V-8 ever engineered IMO.

nah, it was just a CTS... not the CTS-V.. probably the 270HP version. He never had a chance. I think the CTS-V would take me... that thing is a monster under the hood. It does weigh 4100lb though... nearly 1000lbs more than my Saab, so it might be interesting.

It would be closer than you think. They have a lot of power, but their transmissions aren't exactly geared to hard shift.

And who buy's a cadillac with a V-6 when you can get the Northstar V-8? He deserved to lose.

Pssh....my car would smoke you Ryno...



Mine is green....automatic...180k...stock...right rear sounds like its gonna fall off...locks up on me when its cold....no A/C...broke CD Player that skips...blown out base cuz I thought I was cool in HighSchool....and I've already had to buy a new hood, front bumper, right front quarter panel, and new headlights....that bitch didn't need to stop so hard....

Hijack!! Love them Germans!!

nice ride... ill race you for pinks

Damn JMS, that Audi is EXACTLY what I want, but in black of course. I am jealous, truly jealous. I am in the market right now, but not spending that much, haha. Looking at either a Lancer, Civic Si, Altima, or a Golf.

well, it happened... i got beat today... but it was close and im not too dissapointed.

says it can do 0-60 in 4.6 and he had about a half car length on me at 65mph and then we were pretty even, maybe he pulled away another couple feet until we had to shut it down due to traffic.

You know what the say... There is no replacement for displacement. It's true for the most part.

Except Boost.

I think the saying should go:

"For cheap power, there is..."

If you have the money you can make a 3.0 V6 Supra have 1,000 horsepower. But of course you can do the same with a bigger engine. It's just less expensive.

Yup. I got ya.

I've taken a 135 Hp 2.0 Zetec and have gotten it up to 165 bhp (Naturally aspirated) and a 9.0 1/8 mile. I've also taken a 285 hp 5.0L and gotten it to run sub 13 second 1/4 miles (Didn't dyno it back in so I don't know the exact bhp, but I would guess it was some where closing in on 380).

I spent almost twice as much on the Zetec. Then I spent even more to have it handle like a go-cart in suspension mods etc. I did some Auto-X my freshmen year at A&M and had all the Mustang and Camaro guys scratching their heads.

I would much rather have a finely tuned, higher compression engine than a big-block power plant. I think that is just because I'm a geek. But when it comes down to it, it's just hard to keep up with the power and torque the high displacement engines can create.

Dead heat between me and a BMW 335i today... he had a modified exhaust system, sounded completely riced out... im sure he was pushing 320HP. At the light after our little sware... i rolled down the window and gave him a thumbs up, he yelled over "what are you runnin' in there, ethanol??" lol...

Ryno, first I'll say nice FAMILY car. Real cars SIT SIDEWAYS, lol

I just got a new ride last summer.

2010 Honda Pilot 4WD Touring

tune it.. tune it!!!!
