I'm gonna do everything I can next month to make this Tib put out some power. I've been slow for too long. wink1.gif

Pfft. I probably know just as much about you on the topic...they're supposed to go to S3 this year, with their 500+whp Tibs. I know there are a couple of TT Tibs too going (not making much power at the moment though).

Hopefully, there will be some real show stoppers at S3 this year. fing02.gif

I've always had pics in my garage. It's just a simple turbo kit. If people would throw slicks on their basic turbo kits, they would run 12.9's too. I ran 103mph with 12lbs of boost.

Mine is going under the knife soon and I plan to shatter his record for "the baddest Tib on the planet".


103mph is good for 13.6 at best with slicks. More like 13.8-13.9 on a FWD.

What do you plan on doing to your tib?

I really want to see one of us get into 12s already!

you forget that jon's tib for some reason makes more power than your "average" tib.
his tib is the one that with just a 60 shot of nitrous kept up with a ws6 t/a.
and dont you be calling b.s. on that, i was in the car with him when he raced that t/a.

anyhow, at 15lbs and with slicks, i have no doubt in my mind that jon'll get into the 12's.


btw, that gk tib ran 12.96 at 104.25

Ummm..plenty of Tibs in Korea have gotten sub 12s....including the all-N/A Tibs. If you're talking about state-side...no. Well...we're all too poor to do that...why do you think we bought Tibs in the first place? wink1.gif

Hey, I'm not saying that his car is slow or can't get into 12s. Everything is possible with the right amount of money and knowledge. All I was saying is that 103mph trap speed will get him mid 13s at best with slicks. To get into 12s you need 107-109 with good traction.

By the way you can't quote a person above you. Take a moment and read forum rules.

Warned.

Wow. The supercherger sounds sweet. I would like to see an Rd v.s a Gk on the track though.


Word.

I would love to see some state-side Tibs running some 12's. Tired of reading the BS on CarDomain under the bragging rights of those ricey RD's running 11's. Giving us a bad name, eh?

I can't wait to see what Jon does to his car next either! hail.gif
