So appreciate the videos and don't fall for some of the lame ass guys here that create drama and make this seem like a propaganda against some car. THIS IS STRICTLY INFORMATION and just accept it that way. Videos speak louder than words, the guys talking trash usually have 0 videos to back up their big mouths.

So what the hell does all this shit prove anyway??? That you are a master @ bench racing by sitting in front of your computer and playing w/ your wrist watch and yourself?? Shit that you post here is U S E L E S S and a waste of time my friend. You should not be on this forum to begin with. Like I said before, my 20bucks to slap you still stands.

I'll give you 100 bucks to knock you the fuck out.

If that was the case I could claim my HR Z would run high 12s with traction which obviously it won't unless i slap Drag radials or slicks. If all it takes is an Intake and exhaust to run 13.2 than why in God's name are you running 13.4 with TurboXS DP/RP "Stealthback" Stage 1 Package, Vibrant 3 inch Ultra Quiet Resonator in RP section, Magnaflow 3 1/2 unrolled stealthy exhaust tip, second generation Mazdaspeed CAI w/45 degree positioned air straightener, NGK Iridium IX one step colder plugs???????

At the risk of huge groans for keeping this going, and thanks to bf360 for pointing out the obvious to those of us who own these cars, my mod list beyond the intake and dp/rp is largely cometic - a SMALLER exhaust tip (no performance gain there), adding a third reso in the rp (probably lost a horse or two doing that for noise control). BTW: the MSCAI is a part that is made by Mazda and can be installed as a new vehicle option at the dealer, although I wanted to do it myself.

Changing spark plugs is hardly a mod and the heat range change is probably not needed at my modest mod level.

Only performance mods are the "official" CAI and the dp/rp.

I hope you noticed that I lost traction in that video at the completion of the 2-3 shift, even with traction control on, or my times might be a little better. My tires now have 26,000 miles on them and are just about shot. 215 mm width on the drive wheels compared to 245mm on the Z is a huge disadvantage too. All I can say is that I'm a 59 y/o grand dad who has been modding and racing since I was 18 in a variety of cars. I've learned a bit about what mods work together and compliment each other, how to use old school techniques to make cars run a bit better than they are supposed to, and I've learned to race, even though I can't launch this car very well -- new tires coming soon.

I hope Franky also knows that on our stock tune, the ECU will not give you full power in first or second gear. Since the ECU holds even stock power levels down in the first two gears, we really can't do much on stock tune till the car hits third gear at around 50 mph. THEN, with modest mods, this engine comes alive and will hunt down quite a few surprised guys that thought the race was over in second gear.

BTW: I stand by my statement that a half second at 120 mile per hour is 6 car lengths.

Actually, for a 100 bucks, you can run me over with your all motor, all stock, amazing "HR" Z.

Now thats a deal

This is me against one of your ms3 forum users that ran a 13.5@106 mph with the same exact 60 foot/ traction that I have ( 2.2 60 foot). he has a tune which removed all limited boost in 1st and 2nd gear and 18 PSI of boost with CAI.
So as you see I pulled about 1 car length even though i'm doing 13.2@107 mph the way bf360 pulled from dig and roll for the 1000th time let me repeat you're telling me he runs 12.9-13.0@110 mph? lol are we still seriously dragging this on? I got more videos man i can keep posting my races and time slips. In the end most of the guys on this forum will keep closing their eyes and denying. Just accept the fact that he raced a shitty driver because i refuse to accept that bf360 runs high 12s or 13s flat and traps 110 or so.

His time slip is here :-
2008 Mazda 3 Mazdaspeed3 Grand Touring 1/4 mile Drag Racing timeslip specs 0-60 - DragTimes.com

Here is the race of him vs me with a recording from his car:-

You’re a pathetic little girl trying your hardest to prove something that just isn’t true. There’s no “HATERS” here you dumb nub. We’re just sick and tired of looking at your pathetic attempts at trying to prove your cars superiority. You just can’t get it through your thick melon that lightly modified MS3 walks 350z’s. I guess you’re just sad that an Econo box wagon with a little money invested walks your want to be sports car.

By the way this was a video my girl was recording against a modded ms3, listen carefully to the 12 second mark. Turn your speakers up real loud.

So we post up lightly modded 12 second MS3's, and post our timed 40-120 videos on lightly modded MS3's done according to his method. He admits that we might be a little quicker and then changes the subject by posting his own videos of some MS3 of unknown state of mod he happened to beat on a good day.

I say, you live by the sword and die by the sword. We've shown him that MS3's can and do with very minimal mods run as well as or better than his much more expensive car, and he breaks away from the game he started with timed 40-120 runs and brags about beating one particular MS3 at the strip.

Yes, I can't run 13.2's on old stock tires and maybe not new ones because of traction problems up to about 50 mph, which we all do without drag radials. I'll give Franky that. Yes, it is also true, however, from then on up, my video versus his video made according to his rules (good or bad) is all I really need to talk about to end this discussion, IMHO.

There are many lightly modded MS3's here that are quicker than me. I was just willing to play his game and make a video.

Franky, use that stopwatch of yours again and see, as we all can, that 40-120 came up in 12.5 seconds. And a half second is an eternity at 120 mph. If you ran 13.4 40-120, then that .9 seconds slower.

CalculateMe.com - Convert Miles per Hour to Feet per Second

120 mph is 176 feet per second. 176 x.6 = 105 feet. 176 x.9 = 167 feet. How long is your HR? Do the math.

Franky's initial information, while helpful to me, has simply turned into the "Franky's car is better than (fill in the blank) show." I'm tuning to another channel (thread) if that's all he has to offer now. And that channel will not be going over to a Nissan forum talking about how my video shows I'm quicker than Franky for many thousands of dollars less. Any cred that might have existed from perceived informational objectivity on his part is gone. Sorry.
