Also, his business or not, throwing that decal on the window is asking to be called out. I understand advertising himself, but on a car that isn't tuned by him? I don't know, to each their own.

Besides, my car is a touch better then 312, lol...

My bad on thinking you had a 312hp sticker on your car.

If you can't understand a guy owning something to do with vehicle performance putting his sticker on his car I don't know what to say.

He is getting the best advertisement he has ever had right now I am sure. Which does put some "suspect" on the run itself and if the car was stock.

We will know though soon as other autos start hitting the track.

No problem, there are a few stickered cars running around here, lol.

I understand why, to a degree. But it is saying, to some, that the car is tuned by him, or by Vendictive Tuning. Hence the confusion. No biggie, as I agree with the rest of your post completely.


What's funny is that some Mustang guys are calling him out too it seems.

It was lifting the tires at 60' even when the numbers were around 1.6 I believe, not sure though...

Pretty good weather conditions for the passes made out there. Track is 30ft above sea level and the worst air conditions for the day was at 4:53pm the D.A. was ( 853ft) at 69 degrees. Im not for certain how late the track was open but at 11:53pm the D.A. was (-88) at 55 degrees!!!!

I can almost bet that there was some sort of tuning going on. I mean how did evolution do there tuning? I hang around two performance shops and the one is honest and the other is always leaving something out to make there products look better.

[8cd03gro]

Why would an aftermarket company say their stock car isn't tuned if it is? That is the opposite of what they would want. Their products will just show less results the better their stock times and traps are... I guess there are some idiots out there, I just don't understand the thought process of doing something like that. In the long run it would only hurt your company.

I'm not saying they for sure didn't because I have never heard of this shop and don't know the guys to vouch for them, but exactly what products would look better by tuning a stock car and denying it's tuned? Sure it would help get his name out there, but what's he going to post for his tuned results? Truthfully, I wouldn't be surprised if these results were real. Mikes corrected traps are over 115 and the auto is geared somewhat differently. Does anyone know the DA at the track? If it's near sea level, this is very possible.

That track can be iffy on street tires. He pulled great 60's for the OEM tires and his MPH was pretty good on the 1/8; it seems legit. The numbers don't add up for me, but it is what it is, and it was pretty dang suprising.

[8cd03gro]

Wow what a cluster f*ck this thread is.

How's that? Now - for anyone looking for information on the 5.0 'Stang, we have a great resource. We're so fortunate to have it on a 5th Gen CAMARO website!

[WiccaJew]

Ya its so cool that there are more forums on a Camaro website then a mustang website

Same here! He went 87.79mph in the eighth , my best is 88.58mph. However he has me by 5mph in the quarter there is no way that thing has a top end like that!

Exactly! Either the dyno' was way off, or this thing isn't stock or something. Since it's local to me, I'm trying to put some feelers out, lol. It just doesn't add up though. The whole thing about him being a tuner has me a little suspicious... I notice he has tuned at least another car or two. It's one thing if someone states there's a tune, but a claim for a completely stock run, with a reflash, isn't the same thing. Regardless of that, though, that trap is still amazing. I'd expect about 400 to the tires at the weight of that car, stock. You'd probably have a better idea than me, that's just what I recall correlating in the past.

On race-cars.nets E.T. calculator I plugged in 3750lbs with a 115.5 mph and it shows it only make 451 RWHP!!!! It seems a lil off for even my car. Ive dynoed 380 at the rear and it shows mine at 420.
