Thanks guys…

I see Thomas “The Train”(sorry I have a 2 year old and anytime I hear Thomas I think of the train) from GIAC is a little upset with Arin’s post on vendorzine… Awww now that is too bad… I guess I should have ran out of gas totally before putting 93 in several times to ensure I wasn’t cheating… Actually, Thomas, I could give two fucks about the 93 times as I run race gas 99% of the time so go cry to someone else… I’m the one who should be and is pissed that I didn’t run URT given the conditions… Maybe I should post my logs so they can see how my timing was down over the URT runs, since they always seem willing to share logs… Oh wait they have never done that, heck they still try to hide the pulley diameter… Your the guys who use Tyson as a spokesman, isn’t he an employee? Oh that’s right it took quite a bit of prodding to get him to tell us what fuel he used stage I, when he went 12.0… I realize all these vendors have a big stake in making themselves look better but I don’t get anything out of it, just enjoyment of beating on my car, so if your reading this Thomas fuck you… Email me at mustanggtron@yahoo.com You can come to my house will drain the tank and put in 93 then will go to Thompson and I’ll make some passes, how is that big guy… Just make sure to hold your customers to the same standard(not directed at you in anyway Pete)… Also, Todd, this is not directed at AWE either…

pretty funny

I’m disappointed Arin didn’t link to Audirevolution when he quoted you. I will have to flame him next time he posts about the new blower kit.

Everyone should just be happy that a B8 S4 broken into the 11’s on pump! That’s fucking dope stuff right there. This was a good week! First 11’s in a manual and first 11’s on pump…

I’ve posted on here how shady those GIAC dudes are after they were accusing me of not wanting to race Tyson even though till this day he hasn’t returned one PM of mine which I’ve sent many. Than they were accusing me of spraying meth/nitrous and who knows whatever the fuck else. I blasted that Merlin dude on here and called giac a bunch of lying douchebags and they didn’t respond to my post and it got pushed towards the bottom of the forum.
Let them think what they want but you were running 11.6 11.7 in the quarter mile before they knew what a B8 S4 is.

I don’t understand why everyone (tuners, drivers, etc.) is creating a pissing match between the two companies.

Opinion 1: 95% Car / 5% Driver
Opinion 2: 95% Driver / 5% Car

The internet idiots will belong to opinion 1, as most people never even go to redline with their cars. They like to e-fight with their friends about paper gains and what OTHER people have done in their car.

Lets be above this type of shit, its boring and not fun to read.

#32

^^^in the quarter mile with an AWD car with DSG I sure don’t think it’s Opinion 2, so I must be an internet idiot

#33

We all are Internet idiots, I guess its to what degree that separates us from full retard.

My point is that if Primetime drove a similar equipped Stage 2 GIAC tune would he get the same results over a year of trying? Is it the driver or the car? Or a combination of both?

I quoted him in another thread and actually just saw this after responding to good ole t-bone.

where’s the god damn 1740!

:slight_smile:

Is it up and running on the RS5 yet?

p.s. let’s do the math

Drove till 5 Miles of URT left - > Filled to 3/8 full with 93
Drove till 1/8th left - > Filled to 1/2 full with 93
Drove till 1/4th left -> Hit the track.

So 5 miles left indicated likely means about 15 left in other words 3 litres on a B8 S4. That’s how much race fuel there was. Call it 110 octane.

Added till approximately 3/8 full a.k.a. 23 litres full.

So that’s 3 litres of 110 and 20 litres of 93. Average octane now = 95

Drove till 1/8 a.k.a. 7.75 litres left…and added till 1/2 full a.k.a. 31 litres full.

So that’s 7.75 litres of 95 + 23 litres of 93. Average octane now = 93.50

SO he was right…Primetime wasn’t running 93. He was running 93.50.

lol

Son of a!!! lol.

Fixed that for you

#40

I would say it’s a function of many things… car, tune, track, conditions/DA, tire pressure, track prep, driver, etc. Some folks don’t really understand how to make changes to deal with the conditions for example… IE lower tire pressure if you are spinning… Some folks don’t know how to stage, look at the TTRS video that was posted dude nearly ran through the staging lights… Some folks don’t know how to stay straight and swerve all over the place… Sure DSG is easier, actually much easier because shifting is an art that many struggle with(not Pete) but there is no way someone with no strip experience will run times like Bear, Ryan, Spazz, etc do with these cars even though they are “point and shoot”… Look at Imola monster, I could have run the best time ever if I made a pass in his car when it was gutted and I can almost guarantee that… Just my .02

GIAC needs to do better employee screening, that Thomas guy is coming off like an idiot. Simos 8.5, 96 octane, blah blah.

They should only give out employee forum credentials to screened employees who pass the sniff test. The fact that he is even on a forum starting a piss match shows how insignificant he is in the hierarchy of that company.

#42

He’s not the only that other GIAC dude that’s on these forums was making up bullshit about my car then when I called him out on it he started spewing more lies, and told me not to act tough cause I weigh 140lbs wet when I weigh at least 80lbs more than that on the best of days.

They are even worse in real life when I go to shows all they do is bitch and cry.

#43

I just lol’d

^^^that’s definitely true for squeezing every last hundredth out of the car

Let’s assume that there’s the best a car can do…and the worst a car can do (at a given weight, power level, etc.) leaves a gap or range of variance of X.

It’s my opinion and experience that launching correctly and shifting well are a HUGE part of X, and that is taken care of with DSG cars, especially those with launch control (we’ve seen some of the 2010 DSG guys fuck up the launch).

Take a car, and have everything perfectly prepared for, and a driver who is awesome. Say it runs 11.5 @ 120 MPH with a 1.70 sixty foot time. OK?

Give me a car with a driver who is awesome at setting tire pressure and driving straight, staging shallow, etc…but he can’t launch (bogs like crazy and cuts a 2.2 60’) and has two fists made of ham and takes 0.8 seconds per shift instead of 0.2 (like DSG or a fast shifter would). He’s fucked. He could easily run 12.20 @ 118.5.

Then give me a car with a driver who is shit at adjusting tire pressure (me…I never do), and deep stages (costs him a tenth or so), and weaves a little during the run (costs him some other small amount) but he can bang the fuck out of gears and launch it great, and guess what…he’s going to probably run 11.7 @ 120. The DSG gets you that perfect launch and great shifts.

That’s what I was saying above.

How much do you weight in kilograms?

#46

he weighs about 100 KG. Maybe 105.
