STupid punk and his plymouth duster..

[MarkEmark]

Alright, a friend at work has a plymouth duster, and I was wondering the specs on it, so I checked around using google.com and came upon a kids page with a 93 duster. Well stock, it had 140 hp, and 170 lb foot of torque...I was thoroughly unimpressed, plus, it was a SOHC and front wheel drive. Well I got to reading his page, and he said a lot of bull sh.it about his car/RWD cars...I wish he had a link to email him, but he didn't so I couldn't bi.tch him out. He said Bosch spark plugs gave him another 3hp, and adding a K&N filter, another 3 hp...All BS figures right there. That didn't offend me too much, at least he didn't say they gave him 5hp each. So I go down on the page, and the kids like, "FWD cars can get much more HP with the same mods as a RWD car,, and then RWD cars suck, because they UNDERSTEER and fishtail...first the kid gets the understeer part wrong, after saying that the cars suck. If he knows so much about horsepower, I'm surprised he thought plugs added 5! Apparently he doesn't know that in a drag race a RWD car has the advantage, because all of the weight is transferred to the rear wheels for best traction at launch. Then he goes on to say that AWD cars get the most HP/ are the best cars. (His wording was confusing, you couldn't tell if he was saying that AWD cars got the most HP to the ground, or that AWD cars handled the best.) Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I was pretty positive that AWD cars had MUCH MORE DRIVELINE loss than a RWD car, or a FWD car... I just thought I had to share this with someone, it pissed me off to see that he was bashing RWD cars...at least a 240 isn't on his kill list!:ylsuper Here's the exact quote from the page:"stock

Understand that the HP to a front-wheel drive vehicle is better than the same HP to a real-wheel drive. This is because the power on a front-wheel drive car is right next to the axle getting all of the power. How else do you explain the 250 HP Ford Taurus SHO being faster STOCK than the 290 HP Ford SVT Cobra? Front-wheel drive. Of course, all-wheel drive is the real winner of them all, because whatever tire wants traction the most gets it. Best of both worlds. Rear-wheel drive just blows, because of under steer, which causes the cars to fishtail wildly....especially in bad weather. Three cheers to all-wheel drive"

MarkEmark quoted a page... "]Understand that the HP to a front-wheel drive vehicle is better than the same HP to a real-wheel drive. This is because the power on a front-wheel drive car is right next to the axle getting all of the power.

It's not the most well-formed thought, but he's correct. He's talking about drivetrain loss, even if he doesn't realize it. The driveline in a rear wheel drive car needs to turn the engine's output 90 degrees to get it to the wheel; The driveline in a front wheel drive car does not. Driveline power loss is typically a few points lower in a front wheel drive car as a result.

K-Car---I know he was talking about driveline loss, but then he went on to say that AWD's were the best, when they have the most driveline loss (I think...)...but, he neglected to mention that rear wheel drive cars have an advantage in launch for those sick "races" he was pullin in that duster, not to mention, have an advantage in the corners... I was most upset how he said RWD cars blew and understeered and fishtailed...too bad for him, that almost every credible race-car out there is RWD...ouch...

hey, he lives where i live......hmmm *planning schemes on head*

[midnightshadow]

wow.. that guy is a dushbag.... what a moron... and he has a win/lost list?!? i bet half the people that he says he beat didnt' even know they were racing him..... and 450 hp duster?!? why?

[singlecamhonduhkilla]

<is trading in my 240sx so i can get me a duster..,hehehejksome duster here in corpus christi has the v6 version.. and tried to be slick and race me.. took him 1st gear 2nd gear 3rd gear.. it pasted me a lil like a fender worth.. but cmon.. he had better top end then me.. esp since im stock.. loloh well damn dusterzjoe

[singlecamhonduhkilla]

did u all notice this?Carbon Drive Shaft ($400) Better throttle response. Don't know if they make one. +3 lol.. itll make 3hp wit a carbon drive shaft? why carbon? and if he doesnt know they make it then how does he know it will produce 3hp?

[singlecamhonduhkilla]

okokok!!

now im confused... look at the wins and losses!! he can beat a 2000 civ si.. yet he lost to 4bangin avenger? the avenger hood weighs about the same as my whole car... thats one of the heaviest cars ive ever been in? and look at the win list:Ford ExplorerXLT '98, Honda Accord EX '89, Del Sol '94, Geo Storm, Cavalier '02, Accord LX '94, Geo Tracker, Mustang LX '90, Ford F-250(didnt know u can race a f-250?) half of those cars dont even race.. and most of them say stock.. and i think the f250 is just as fast as the camry that beat himlol
