Daytona VS Monte

[87csx2.4]

Ive been wanting to post a vid of my daytona so here it is my camera man was a little shakey but oh well.Oh and he didn't get the time clock at the end of the run I believe this run is like 7.50 @ 99mph.All I know is the Monte didn't have a chance.http://www.youtube.com/07553619

You're one of the few with a really fast Daytona. That's amazing!

Sweet kill! However, it doesn't look like a Monte at all. I think it's either an old Malibu(that's what my bet is- late 70's to early 80's) or an old Phord Fairmont or LTD(unlikely).

Its hard to tell in the vid, but the back end is definitely a malibu, but it looks like a Monte front end was grafted onto it.

Looked like a late 70's Nova front end to me... didn't really see the back

Yeah Im not exactly sure what it is,I know he wasn't very happy I was parked next to him in the pits.

[moparzrule]

Hehe, that would be funny.

BTW, you ever run a 1/4 track? with a 16V you should have good top end, a 16v is better for 1/4 than 1/8 IMO.

Nice run!

+1! gotta get to a 1/4 mile with it!

[glhs875]

That's AWESOME! I wish I had a video of the low 7 second pass you made in Huntsville where the slicks were all distorted and it looked like they were trying to outrun the car itself! Looked just like some of the drawings of alot of the cartoon cars I've seen!

Well actually that car is gone and everything is being swapped to my csx.If the 1/4 mile wasn't a 3 hour ride I would,all he tracks around here are 1/8 mile.

Hey I have an 1/8 mile track 20 minutes from me, but refuse to go there so I go 2 hours to the 1/4!!!

Bummer for the g-body record books... bet that'll be a quick CSX tho!

Yeah I know that car is just too heavy for the power its making I was having to many drive train issues.I sold just the body I took my koni's and everything.I cant wait to get this car to the track.Any Idea what an 87 csx weigh's?Ive seen on the net the curb weight was 2560# I know its a lot lighter than the daytona.

[moparzrule]

I wouldn't call it a LOT lighter. My daytona weighed ~3000 race weight, my shadow ~2700-2800. However, I plan on removing things in the shadow like rear seat and carpet ETC (nothing extreme, still need street legal) in hopes for around 2600 pounds.

[BadAssPerformance]

IIR my '87 CSX #252 weighed 2650lbs w/o the spare tire or me in it.

want light K, shoulda got an aries/reliant. easy to keep under 2600, possible to get in the 2400s.

got pics of the new project on TM yet? excuse me if im out of the loop : /

I dont think he likes ugly cars, lol

[Ondonti]

The P body has horrible aero to go along with its light weight :P
I am not really sure how to fix that besides simple stuff under the car.

I agree 100%. The daytona was much better at high speeds, you can feel the wind resistance in the shadow, the daytona seemed to ''slice'' through the air.
