Ah yes that would be our friend Cabojoe over at 3si.org. Everyone's favorite member to flame...not too popular..

Several threads about him...

However I would still love to get my hands on a VR4 spyder..:drool: It's all about the hard top convertible...:D

[90_Shelby]

My money is on the Eclipse or the Supra.

[James]

I Actually voted for the top 10 out of i think like 70 finalists or something like that, I had to Mail in the entry form that was in an issue in the Summer. i think 3 or 4 of the 10 were ones i voted for.

[95TsiAWD]

Eclipse is probably Scott Gray's. I think he competed in this before. Owned the rest of the competition even with 1 blown strut.

[Hollywood]

Datsun is going to make some of those high end car guy's cry I think. "Wholy shit that datsun beat me?" I bet top 3.

Top3 no order.

datsun
skyline
gsx

[CLiVE]

1st - Viper
2nd - Supra

Last - Cabojoe..3000gt VR4 spyder.


Oops sorry, I just ruined the ending...:D

[davidI]

I think the Supra might take it this year. He did really well last year from what I remember and has upped the HP in the car since then. It might do poorly on the road course but that's it.

[importadrenelin]

it was a very close USCC this year, the top 3 cars were neck and neck.
1st) Viper
2nd) R33 Skyline
3rd) Supra TT

I got a lot more information about it from the R33 and Supra owner if you guys want it.
For those who want to know the S-RX7 ended up breaking and the right hurt Mitsu VR4 placed 8th including a 14.6 1/4 mile apparently.

[Hipermax_d]

every time they do this there is always a mr2 and a supra
i hope the 510 wins

[finboy]

i'm hoping for the viper or the eclipse.

[Stratus_Power]

i say the MR2 :P

i'd say the mr2, teg, WRX, supra and viper have the best chances of winning...theyre done up but not extremely extreme in any way that would take away from a street car experience, ie the tube frame rx-7

Sadly, I think Cabojoe is going to make all of us at 3SI.org look like loud mouth retards that can't back up our claims.

Yeah I know.....him and his "650hp" 14.6 sec qtr mile 4100 lb monster hard top convertible. You should read his "excuses" on 3si.

I think that most people with any sense can realize that this guy doesn't represent the potential of a stealth. For starters he chose the heaviest model possible. And he didn't address the brakes except for a pad upgrade. Instead of utra sticky hoosier tires like all the other competators have, he's only running on proxes t1-s'. He also claims that he ugraded to TD04-17G turbo's, which sport compact car kindly pointed out don't exist. Who knows what they are, probly stock for all we know. Anyone can claim they have 650hp. I'm sure that a better prepared stealth would be competative in this conest.

[RiCE-DaDDy]

the 510 will do badly. The supra is definitely gonna be on the top 3.

that cabojoe cant be THAT stupid, i mean they do dyno test and all that for the competition.

[ecstasy_civic]

carson call me i gotta talk to you about this. last year we made picks about who was gonna win and you were bang on. and actually the datson did not that bad last year. the type R was the disapointing one:thumbsdow

[Ajay]

I'm gonna say the Supra this year!

I agree with ecstasy_civic though, the ITR was a total disappointment. Don't understand why they put it in this year again cause it'll probably be another poor showing against all the other cars in the pack.

[ecstasy_civic]

a supercharged ITR that runs a mid to high 14? thats pathetic:rolleyes:

[Ajay]

It's very pathetic considering in that same issue there's a EG Civic hatch running 11's with a B18B and turbo!

[szw]

My vote goes to the SRX-7

[ecstasy_civic]

but they have to pick well rounded cars and that EG probably wasnt set up for road course and burnouts and driveabilty.
thats where any rotary will have trouble, in the drivability, they test quietness, gas mileage and comfort.
the gas mileage and quietness there is gonna be an issue lol.:rofl:

[Voodoo Child]

Did anybody else notice that the Turbo ITR, who supposedly spent 80K on his car did not upgrade the axels or the tranny.
If this guy is actually running the boost he is saying.....look for used parts in the "classifieds" section soon enough! HaHa
Pretty sweet line up though....

[pookie]

Skyline baby,
you can't beat it
especially not with an eclipse

[ecstasy_civic]

the skyline got beat last year even running like 25 psi.

The ITR finished 7th I believe or 9th, one of the too. he already got flamed bad as heck in the ITR forum on H-T.com

[l/l/rX]

hmmm i want the WRX to win...but i dont think it'll do on the 1/4 mile against all those other cars, such as the skyline, supra, but hey you never know ;)

[ecstasy_civic]

dont forget the 7!:rofl:

[RiCE-DaDDy]

the 510 will do bad because of the ancient suspension, overall chassis, i mean last year it was a horrible car..well some aspects of it

[4wheeldrift]

There is nothing wrong with the 510 that a little work can't fix, especially in the suspension.

[DSM Power]

LOL, people are still posting their guesses even though memystealthandi already posted the results. :rofl:

Anyways, the Eclipse did us proud in 1/4 and what not but apparently was outdone a bit on track. Oh well, it's a FAWKING sweet car, owned by the Dan Cokic (although Scott Gray's 1G is no slouch either! :eek: ) :)

I just loved this post from that thread over on 3si -

"So basically what you did was entered a car that was overweight, under powered, poorly prepared and completely outclassed, and you had a driver (yourself) who was not physically capable of driving the car anywhere near it's admittedly low potential.
But hey, at least you showed up :rolleyes: "

Heh heh, those of us in the know realize the 3SI rocks - too bad it wasn't demonstrated this year. :banghead:
