Help with contest, please

[David]

The current issue of Sport Compact Car has the semifinalists for their 'ultimate street car' contest. My car is entrant number one. Please get a copy of the magazine and vote for me - inspite of the bad photo and completely mangled description of the car. Also, they will have ten finalists who will drive three courses to select a winner, so pick my car and the nine lamest other cars you can find on the list. That way, an NSX will win. : )


Thanks.

Will do. You 've got my vote, David.

Just wanted to bump this thread back up to the top. Remember to get a copy of SCC and vote for me!

I got the mag yesterday and I'm mailing my vote today. I hope to see you win but some of the competition looks tough to beat - cool cars.

 

[sonik]

I would have to test drive the car to decide my vote...hint hint..nudge nudge

 

[Electro]

I think we need a little more incentive to vote for David...

DAVID i think you should post some more video clips of your setup to convince the skeptical one's among us...

 

[David]

I am going to try to get some pix up on Monday or Tuesday.

I picked up the issue this weekend. I'll vote for ya.
You're right. They description didn't do your car justice and that may make it more difficult to be in the top ten.
Your comments were good though. Hopefully you get in and kick some Supra ars.

They've got some pretty fast ones in there, but I figure the best driver will win.

You got my vote Good luck! Hope you get to kick some ass

You have another vote, David. Good Luck. By the way, I'm trying to decipher your "Don't know nuttin" comments- are you an OB/GYN?

It's a line from the maid in 'Gone With the Wind." The only thing I remembered from the movie when I saw it as a kid.

Here's an audio file courtesy of Ojas Patel who was kind enough to record it for me. The car had not warmed up and is runnning really rich right now ( I re-routed the fuel system and need to retune the Motec to compensate), so it sounds a bit lumpy and not as raspy as usual.

To get some idea of what it sounds like in person, run it through a good set of speakers and place them on either side of your head with the volume set at eleven.

I was standing next to the car when this was recorded. David only rev'd to about 3000RPM, I almost shit myself... Hurt my ears a little, can't imagine being behind this beast when it hits VTEC!!!

This file is the motor running most of the way through the rpm range. The one before was the one that caused Brian to consider adult diapers.

Jesus.......that thing sounds like it's ready to kill something. All that from a six cylinder is awesome. Does it make your ears ring?

It's really not that bad from inside the car, but I have been told that driving behind me is abusive, both from the sound and from the flames that shoot out on downshifts.

melted bumper paint gets my vote!!! I'll send it off today.........

David, what kind of exhaust setup are you running?

 

[ilya]

Holy $%^$, who put a big block in that NSX???

Sounds pretty viscious.

By 'exhaust' I assume you mean the two feet or so of three inch pipe between the turbo and the outlet? ; )

And yes, ilya, it is a V6, its just a very angry one. I have to keep my eye on it all the time or it gets loose and eats other cars.
