Phast Hemi : "Ron, if that car runs 6.6 in the 1/8th at 3k da on the stock 93 tune, I highly doubt it is a lemon.
That being said, I ran both the 2.62 and 3.09 gears in my redeye on both the stock cal and a race cal. I think you may be barking up the wrong tree blaming the car. I've been able to get the car to hit the limiter on the 1-2 and / or the 2-3 by simply under or over inflating the tires depending on track and weather conditions...just sayin...."
First of all this is laced with put downs and is bias to make it seem worse.
"Ron, if that car runs 6.6 in the 1/8th at 3k da on the stock 93 tune, I highly doubt it is a lemon." Well the car does not run 6.6. It ran 6.66 ONCE with ESP active and it was not at 3000 ft DA. All other passes averaged 6.82 WITH the Hiccup @ more like an average 2400 DA. If it ran 6.60 at an actual 3000 feet I would have never sold it. But once again you are cherry picking all the facts to try and make me look bad and make yourself the expert.
Plus who said the car was a Lemon? WTF are you talking about? I have NEVER bad mouthed the car. In fact it was a GREAT car with just that one flaw. I am relatively certain it had substantially above average power and it looked amazing and everything else about the car was nearly perfect. The fact is, it would have NEVER done what I bought it for. Can't you get that? No amount of nitpicking will change that.

" Well, my car has NEVER hit the limiter on the 2-3. So, just MAYBE my tire pressure was in a range of being acceptable for the conditions? And what makes you so sure my tire pressure was too low or too high in the first place? So you are telling me that somehow I bumped my head and forgot how to set up and race a Car? How it is that on the second time out with the car it made 9 straight passes, every pass on that day, where it DEAD HOOKED, and then went all the way through first gear and somehow hit a patch of oil or bled off tire pressure or spiked tire pressure too high and then suddenly spun just before and over revved on the 1-2 shift and then by some miracle was able to make all the 2-3, 3-4 and 4-5 shifts on time without spinning and over revving? All of them. So, how on earth could it do the same exact thing every pass and it just be tire pressure and there actually is nothing wrong with the car? Who is that good at fucking up that they can have the exact same malfunction throughout the day with the weather and track conditions varying or changing? Don't you think that just ONCE it might hook good enough to make the 1-2 shift on time? Just once out of 9 passes? What are the odds? So you basically told me I do not know how to set my tire pressure and there is probably nothing wrong with the car. How could you, or Cole think that will not offend me? And how could you possibly come to that conclusion based on what was said?
Simon, whether you know it or not, other people know how to race. Also you need to accept the fact that we do not always have the same conditions as you typically do. So, whatever tire pressure etc. that you run will not ALWAYS work where I race etc. I have gone on 3 week trips to the mid-west and visited 5 different tracks and made 46 passes total and never spun or hiccupped once. We are talking GLD, IRP, RT 66, NORWALK, etc. I get home and go over to Irwindale and I have to use a totally different setup or else it is SPIN SPIN SPIN. I dare you to come here and give it a try. Also if you are so sure about my car I will tell you where it is so you can go get it and prove me wrong. It's probably faster than the one you have now.
