You are so correct on blowing the center diff. In my big 16g 300+hp DSM I first broke a rear axel which also blew the center dif. Upgraded the rear to a 4 bolt and then proceded to break a front axle, and another center diff... That sucked...

I also listened for a stutter box and could not hear one. I enjoyed my stutter box and NLTS but maybe that helped me blow all the parts. Talon's are definately fun cars but way too many are junk...

Thats why all of mine were A/T. I figured it out, and the trans out of my first one has at least 175k mi on it, and somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 awd launches. When I changed the fluid in it the first time it came out straight black it was so burnt.Chunks of bearing were attached to the magnets in the pan. Took trick shift synthetic (know to kill a/t's) and mobile 1 synthetic (also known to cause trans problems). Its still going to this day, behind my friends 2.3 stroker dsm.

I didnt tell you to shut up, I called you a poser.

Jeff didnt suggest he would run the guy, read his first post. However, because you are a poser, you come on here with some attitude about Jeff's shit never measuring up, like you are some authority. Try leaving your house, go get your truck, do some of the work on it yourself, run the Talon, and maybe then you can give peeps advice on what is what...


What is the point in making a post asking how fast you have to run to beat a certain person and then putting the video up?

Its even worse to do that when you are doing nothing but purposely trying to bust out a car that street races for a living. No matter how you skew this Daron you are still in the wrong.

You always seem to bring up me working on my truck. Why does that concern you? I have a sponsorship, I have people who work on my truck with me. There is no reason for me to attempt to do something that I am not familiar with when I have professionals who will do it.

That talon has raced in chicago, I know what is what. I wouldnt run the talon myself, why? Because I know when I am in over my head and there is no way I can hang.

I never came here with an attitude, yes I said his truck didn't measure up. Its the TRUTH, what is wrong with that? There is at LEAST 3 seconds between the two vehicles. No matter what Jeff does that car will be faster. It is not a slam against Jeff or his truck there will always be someone faster regardless of who you are.

Thanks for bring up the leaving my house. You don't knwo the first damn thing about me or my current situation. If you did or do then your are more of an asshole for bringing something like that up in an attempted slam. You met me once for no more than 2 minutes over 8 years ago.

You are just an odd old man who must have forgot to take his pills.

I once again say, I know what I am talking about and I stick to what I know. You should give that a try.

Syclone#892: I know the galant you are talking about. It was the fastest one in the country at one point in time years ago. We have raced that car as well. Ask them how that turned out. We did that one in our 3500# fwd car as well ;)

So it runs low 8's?

Not sure when I will be around chat anytime soon.

You can PM me if you want, this started out as purely curious. I see this guys running mouths all the time, just wondered what it would take to shut them up. didn't say it would be me.

I misunderstood you then.

But to answer your question ALOT, they have two cars, the one you posted is actually the slower of the two

There is a white one and red one also.

www.502underground.net gotta register to read.

I see them at the track when I go. I have kept a low profile. Roberts truck even got mentioned on that site once and not by me.

I somehow have this thing about people with big mouths. I am very reserved, but those that talk shit I like to see them get an ass handed to them.

So PM me what you know about them.

I have said enough already. If you are going to be gambling against them we can talk. I do not want you to lose any money.

At the same time I can't start handing out information about other people's cars.... I may be goofy lookin, but I prefer to keep my bones in one piece.

It is safe to say I have said enough already.

Also, I only know what you have posted that you ran in the 1/8.

By using this chart (might not be the most accurate):

http://www.eldemoniorojo.com/calculator.htm

I still believe that they are quite close to that 3 seconds I mentioned. That should be enough information.

Re: How fast?

Did you go by the 7.42 video of my 7.11 time slip. 7.11 via your chart shows a 11.08

11.08 - 3sec = 8.08 seconds. If they are really running that low of an 8, I will say they deserve the shit talking and will shake their hand.

went by the 8.1 i saw you post.

Didn't see any faster.

If you went those times stated then lets knock a second off what i said, but at that point in the race or lack thereof its a moot point anyway right?

What is your best short time?

Re: How fast?

1.62 @ 2psi launch. Will see sat if it will hold a 4psi launch.

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Twin-Turbo-GMC-Typhoon_161854.htm

didn't get the last run on video, which was the 7.11

I still have another 6 or so psi to go.

My assumption is the AWD is what is really helping them against other cars that do run whatever et they can run. They take the camaro, etc out to a dirty dusty road they know rather well. No 2wd car/truck will hook properly.

Now keep in mind that 1.62 is street tires on low boost. If, and I just did say IF I was to go after them I would probably have stickier tires, and for sure more boost. Hell I have only been down track about 6 times so far with my truck lots of bugs to work out.

But I am not a street racer, just someone who likes to build shit and go fast. Thoughts have crossed my mind of what it would take to shake them up a bit, then other thoughts of heading to jail over it come to mind also.

I ain't skeered. The fast one, white in color is a mid 10's car. The one in the vid is a low 11's player.

These guys are good at getting races on thier turf and to thier advantage. As a "good' street racer has to be or they would be broke.

But when a certain Sy from across the big pond was in the 'ville they were full of excuses.;)

I need at least 4 and the wiggle for the cubes power and extra cylinders!

But seriously I will know where I stand with homecoming later this afternoon. If, and that is a big IF I do attend it will be with the truck but it will be in limp mode. I just don't have enough time to do more.

Thanks for bring up the leaving my house. You don't knwo the first damn thing about me or my current situation. If you did or do then your are more of an asshole for bringing something like that up in an attempted slam. You met me once for no more than 2 minutes over 8 years ago.

You are just an odd old man who must have forgot to take his pills.

-Your "truth" was actually an assumption that as we see, was a false assumption...

- You brought up the fact you never leave the house, I just restated what you posted earlier in this thread. Since you brought it up then you must be the asshole. I think you have a short term memory issue, you forget your pills?

Silly said:
Do I street race right now? Nope, I hardly even leave my house.


- I am an old man who has little tolerance for some of your big talk and retarded postings. You make me cranky.

- You are the one making claims, not I. Stop making wild assumptions about other peoples cars, their trucks and what people post if you dont like being called out.
