Low-budget sleeper

Audi · 08-04-2006, 12:43 AM

I used to think that a Talon TSI was fwd and a Talon TSi was AWD. Apparently they are TSi and TSiAWD. His is a TSi (seen the emblem) and is def. fwd.

The MK3 is an automatic. We were looking for this project to be less than a grand. It doesnt look like that is possible unless these parts are much cheaper than I expect.
This Talon has the capabilities to run mid-high 13 sec 1/4mi times but I bet he cant get better than low 14s due to front trash.

Oh well, I guess I'll just break out the ol' American muscle to do the trick.

and i plan to start a photo album of every car that became my 3!T(H

after i get my turbo im gonna start posting pics every week of the cars that succumed after me

and yea sorry for the bad news, i dunt think theres any way around this
unless you can make your supra weigh a scant 1600 lbs
i dont think a grand can make your supra beat a talon

Im sure it could....But im sure that trans am or camaro would have a much easier time as they both come stock with 300+ hp to the wheels. (i know, my uncle ran his on a dyno bone stock except new tires and got 302 hp) And the cars are advertised as having 305 hp...BS! more like 340.

its a v8 right? off course its gonna have those horses
but those cars should be running at least 400
but that jus my opinion tho

Isphius · 08-11-2006, 12:14 AM

Yes, they are 5.7L v8s. Or ls1s, as they are called. Im just saying gm advertises them at much lower power #s then they actually make. And no, they dont need 400 hp, lol. They are very fast cars. You have to ride in one. They have a perfect powerband and they just feel beautiful under acceleration.

i have been in one
in a 95 camaro, 455 hps with nos
crazy ride

Isphius · 08-11-2006, 04:02 PM

Thats an lt1. But 455 hp is still nice. 97-02 camaros and trans ams are the ls1, which is a badass motor. I would like to get my hands on one.
