Oh my.

 

It didn't even seem like the 'vette was trying at first in the actual race either.

 

Street racing is pretty dangerous and I really don't condone it but that's an awesome video.

Very nice, But I would not call that Eclipse rice,  It runs 13's,  So i mean its still a pretty quick ride, but the vette did eat him up.

Sorry but I have to question that 13.0 quarter claim.

 

On the actual dead stop race pert of that video they only went about 1/8 mile and the 'vette sucked him up pretty bad.

 

If that Talon is a 13 second car then that puts the 'vette in the mid to low 11's at the rate he was going.

If it's origin is the Far East.  Then it's rice.  And it is, so it will be called said rice.

 

Plus it isn't a V-8.  

 

That's my definition of rice.

 

Anyway, the punks got smoked.  What did he say in the video?  "I'm not scared".  Then the Vette blew by him and they crapped their diapers.  that was great.

In the "actual race"  it was obvious that the Vette had more power than traction.  That is what gave the rice the lead.  Once he got something that resembled traction, the mismatch became obvious.  With drag radials the rice would have never seen the front of the vette.  

 

I just put a set on a 91 Z28 (396 stroker) today that would spin street tires as long as it wanted to (measured 282 feet one time).  With drag radials, it will spin 5-10 feet.  It would be pretty good competition in the 11's without the Vette's NOS.  With the bottle, the Vette is probably very close if not in the 10's (with good tires)

Rice is gay stickers and weird exhaust,  We have PLENTY of AWD Talons that can do the 1/4 in 13secs or less around me,  I don't see why that vet was not runnin 11's, listen to it, It was once bad butt ride, either way both cars were pretty quick.

That guy is in Cedar Rapids Iowa.  He posts on the Corvette Forum as he answered a thread about this their.

 

The Corvette in mention is a Doug Rippie Motorsports heads and cam package (the 450 pacakage I believe) and possibly more done on the rotating assembly that he isn't telling us.  On top of which, he's running 150 shot of nitrous.

 

At the end of the day, that car is a low 11 to high 10 sec 1/4 miler.

 

That Talon, with it's AWD, can legitimately run 13's with some light work.  I think the exact timeslip for that car was 13.0 @ 103mph.  Pretty darn quick and would give some stock Vette's and F-bodies a hard time (note I said SOME).  Against a Vette that is putting down in my estimation in the neighborhood of 450hp at the rear wheels and runs low 120's in the 1/4, it makes it apparantly obvious why that Vette once traction is obtained, simply hits the afterburners against that DSM.

 

And like mentioned, that was only like an 1/8'th of a mile.  The Vette owner got out of it once he realized that the Talon was his bitch.  :(

 

Had they completed the 1/4, I'd bet it'd been by 15 car lengths.

It was the "ricer" that recorded and shared the video (even though he didn't win).  I think that takes some measure of class as most "ricers" won't share if they don't win.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By Keith179 · Posted

      I’m out of ideas on this truck. 2020 Silverado 1500. 5.3 135,000 miles. Has a p0308 and p050d codes. Smokes From exhaust when cold. Compression test passed. New plugs, wires and coil on cyl 8. Same issue. New coil on 8, no change. Replaced injectors, no change. Bore scope showed oil pooled on the piston after sitting overnight. Pulled head and had machine shop check it out. No cracks. Stem seals looked good, replaced anyways. He also ground valve seats. Put it all back together and still have the same issue. Bore scope shows oil on the piston again. Leaning towards maybe a cracked ring but unsure. Cylinder looked good when the head was off, no scoring or scratches. Any ideas on what else I should look for?  Appreciate the help

      2021 Silverado 2.7L – N232395310 – Can someone with GM dealer access check my VIN?

      By HeronLeal · Posted

      Just want to make sure it is covered by Special Coverage N232395310 Evaporative Emission Purge Pump 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom 2.7L L3B ~100k miles I'm getting DTCs P146B and P146F. VIN 3GCPWBEK2MGxxxxxx   I spoke to a person that works at GM and he said it is not covered after checking my VIN.   Is there anyone here who currently works for a GM/Chevrolet dealership and has access to GM Global Warranty Management / Investigate Vehicle History who could explain how the VIN eligibility is determined?   thank you

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.
