is this bull?

[menschmaschine0]

my roomate claims his fathers friend has a chevy truck running 5 second quarter mile times and a sting ray that runs 4s with no wheelie bars whatesover. Does anyone else here think this is a line of bull. Someone who has great mechanical expierience please answer this

[vette_7t9]

its possible. actually, very possible if you have money and experience. if you get the power down right, you wont need wheelie bars. if those vehicles did have wheelie bars, theyd be a lil more faster.

[menschmaschine0]

but the claim that these run with alcohol dragsters on gasoline that just doesnt seem possible this guy is not rich or anything just claims to have a 5 second truck an 4 vette

[xramseybx]

well lets see a sting ray running 4's, and a box oh i'm sorry truck running 5's, first look at the fact funny cars and top fuel dragsters recently (past few years) broke the 3 sec mark. and look at the pro stock div who is running high 5's and low 6's on a good day. i think your roomate needs to stop hittin the pipe. so just look at the facts such as areodynamics and such, i would love to see a truck run the 1320 in 5 sec. i don't see how that could even possibly happen maybe the 1/8th

Top fuel funny cars run just under 5 sec's(with bars too). And top fuel dragsters run 4's With frames How Long?!? and Wheelie bars. In my opinion No Friggin way.. Unless it's a vett fiberglass body on a top fuel dragster chassie.

This mystery man also owns a jeep that supposedly runs 3 second quarter miles what do u guys think i think i need to video tape this masterpeice of human creation

[xramseybx]

hey if a jeep is running 3's get it on a track and hell make a few million.....lol yeah i think your roomie needs help seeing fantasy from reality

[JetMek]

Better Give "Riply's Believe it or not" a call !!! And John Force, He might wanna hear about this one because he be outta a job

[Verrückt]

No way. Nada. Zero chance.

Ok im a die hard drag racing enthusiast and Nobody has yet to break 3 seconds! Best pass I believe is a 4.32@328mph and that's in a Top Fuel Dragster(Fastest cars on the strip..8,000+Hp) So to answer, No there's no way in hell a Truck runs 5's and a Vette is running 4's in the 1/4 mile. Also they wont meet the safety rules for it! So There ya go, No car in the 3's and those 2 vehicles are not in the times he says!

[Haakon]

of course its true,my moped does 1's

[JetMek]

A new/old word just came to mind......... "Crack-head"

[Clutch]

my guess is your mistaking 1/4 for 1/8th mile then 5s would be possible.

[BlackXJ96]

No Jeep is running 3s in the 1/4 or 1/8. The Corvette is in no way running 4 second 1/4s. Maybe the 1/8 but even that would be insanely fast for anything that isn't stripped out and dedicated to drag racing. And a truck running 5s? Tell him to lay of the smack, or just smack him upside his head.

tell your friend he is a dumb@** for me. if they were that fast, they would classify up there with top fuel dragsters with over 4000hp and run in the 4.6s
He may be talking about the 1/8 mile perhaps
