al, the skys the limit, but at what point do u think you will lose the streetable aspect of the car.. i was just wondering becuase i find it nuts to drive a 9sec daily driven car.
more power to ya, and mad props for the power

 

Its still vert streetable - UNLESS you try and hit the boost - then its all over the road - and I mean ALL over the road !

 

hahaha, have u have any close calls driving this on the street, like traffic or any such?

 

Wow, a bigger turbo already, as if 137 wasn't fast enough. Might as well just through a 100 shot to spool the thing too. This event is going to be awesome. I want to see someone run a 9 without a drop of weight removed from the car (RS modifications legal).

 

To answer your question - I doubt it.., the car has a fuel cell in it now.

 

Two walbros actually with a -8 fuel line

 

Al, did you make any modification to the stock fuel tank, or just threw the two pumps on the tank.

 

Hopefully a lot of people will be taking video cameras to the Sep. 11 meet!

 

Congrats again Al..

 

So there you have it. When other tuners cars run 9s and 10s, and Al points out that all those cars are not streetable, whereas Al's is streetable, what he means is that the car runs fine as long as its NOT in boost.

I think many of us had a different definition of streetable, and that may have led to part of the misunderstanding between lots of people. Al says its streetable and thus reliable as long as its off boost. Perhaps this also has something to do with why he won't road race the car?

Anyhoo, im sure this post won't last long, but it is what it is.


EDIT:
And why would your post be deleted? Perhaps because you have no interest in Al's products or services and post here only to start a flame war? Take your arguments outside this forum if they have nothing to do with the purpose of this one. Thanks.

 

Alex: There's nothing offensive in your post, Al is drag racing. I'm sure al could run low boost and road race the car, but why would you ever want to road race a car with that large or a turbo. As for the reliablity, it's tough to make a car with 600+ horsepower stay together on a 2.0L and AWD, once you have the engine/turbo combination down then you begin drag racing. Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury of being able to buy GM 3-Speed transmissions and solid rear axles.

As for streetable, it's all in your mind. My dad won't even ride in my car, no backseat, no trunk lining, RRE JICS, it's not comfortable at all. And I'm planing to eventually run wider tires, more agressive JICs, and more power, and to 95% of people they'll think it's an uncomfortable tin can. The same is true with drag racers, go to the strip for friday night street racing. Look at all the old-muscle cars that require almost nothing to get inspected. They rattle your teeth out at idle, can't be driven in the rain safely, etc. So, the whole streetable arguement is up to the person driving the car. Mark probably think's their orange car is streetable, Al doesn't - both are opinions, neither are right.

 

And it shouldn't. It's pointless. No , that's not true; the point of it is abundantly clear.

You and some of your other west coast bros are to evom what Dave Schultz was to NHL Hockey.

That name not familiar ?? I suggest you go google yourself.

 

namecalling. stop, just stop. eastcoasters.

 

Those damn eastcoasters!

 

Namecalling implies some measure of untruth.
Sadly, that's not the case here.
At least not in this forum.
