I don't know or care whether there was bleach or peanut butter or whatever.. it's possible. (Bleach or no bleach you have traction loss and a wheelie tire spinning car.) As is a eclipse doing 160.. the movie is gay for a million reasons you guys just picked weak points and I was playing devil advocate.
And finally...
The seventh gear thing was bullshit.. It is possible to build a 7 gear tranny for SOME cars. they do make kits the swap out ALL of your internals both shafts and all the gears.. the reason it fits is they are thinner gears so more fit in the same space.. My friend however was not going to do that. I'm not sure if it was an option or not but the 6th gear was and had been done to another Z locally.
And as far an 87 Z being a piece of crap or not quick or not worth modding... your on a honda forum ( I know your both domestic guys.) and complaining about a 3.0 L V6 that Paul Newman DOMINATED with for YEARS???

my point is moot because slicks were made different in the 60's? rubber is rubber last time i checked :shrug:
ok, its obvious you know nothing about forward motion in a car with drag tires... if you can manage to get the front wheels of a car off the ground while even eminating the slightest wisp of smoke it must be powered by a rolls royce twin supercharged v-12 merlin engine or something with more kick, even then i dont see it getting the front wheels off the ground cause it wouldnt CATCH! there IS NO HAPPY MEDIAN here unlike youd like to believe... its one or the other, without the aid of something....
it is impossible to do without bleach or something. thats it. IMPOSSIBLE cant be done.... if you prove me wrong ill apologize... but you cant. bleach when heated causes smoke, duh and a rubber over pavement creates FRICTION. thats why you see smoke in a car that does a wheelie
2. about the tranny. so your saying it was the same CASE with completely different innards? i can see that, but that makes me question how much of an ADDED on gear it is? more like a COMPLETELY different tranny in itself..
btw since the gears were made thinner, what kinda material did they use? cause obviously if it was thinner it would be a stronger material so i wouldnt shatter. ?
i never said that car was a piece of shit, i said it wasnt special. thats all. any shitbox can be made to go fast, mustangs, camaros, civics, geos
hell ive seen a geo powered storm do 11's on a 1.8DOHC motor that came with it + turbo and head work. 11's!!!!
there is a suzuki swift 1.3L around here that does 11's as well 11.70-11.90's i believe. ANYTHING CAN BE MADE TO GO FAST. even paul newmans
