I just found out yesterday that someone took a pretty good pic of my ptCruiser at the drag strip last September and I want to share it with you. :)

I totally smoked that Golf BTW. :p

At that time, it was Stage1 (computer and injector swap) which bumped power to 235hp. and 260lb.ft of torque and the blow off valve upgrade. :)

Other mod not affecting drag racing was upgraded swaybars front and back.
I must say they make for a much better handling ride. :driving:


Since then I have turned up the boost AND expect to have no more wheel hop since I also upgraded motor mounts which should make me a little faster .

But I try to keep the look pretty stock... more like a sleeper. 8)



Oh and about the Golf, it is a 1.8T, stock, with a pretty good driver but more used to rally racing and dirt than launching on the ? mile.

Didn't you read the title. :?
 
A friend is about to buy a PT Turbo convertible, automatic though, but she liked the PT Convertible cause it had enough space for 4 ans to haul around paintings, I said to her, you should get the Turbo one with the big engine, she said, sure, I'll take the best one.

:lol:

Gotta love having money, even though it's a stupid choice IMO.
 
Way to go off topic Ren... <_<

Personnaly I don't get the convertible, they are two vehicles with the same name but for very different purposes and I would never get one of those.


But getting back to drag racing, that weird concoction of a ragtop will embarass the RX-8 you fancy so much on the ? mile and with an autostick transmission it isn't even hard to do. :lol:
 
It's still ugly as a sin (especially the convertible)

but it's for a 50 year old female, so it's good enough.

Her husband already has something fun to play with, a M Roadster ;)

so their 2nd car has to haul the groceries, and it's an improvement over her current car.. a NEON

you should marry her ;)

I suppose the hardtop Cruiser was purpose-built for racing? :lol: The way I see it, a PT Cruiser is lame. Period. If only for the fact that there are about a million other vehicles that are better suited for racing of any kind. I realize that some of us have to work with what they got, and I have no problem with PT owners in general. As long as you have no delusions of this being anything other than a mass-produced, run-of-the-mill mode of transportation.

when roman was to buy the car, everyone here also said he should get sth else.
but he wanted a hatch like car, with enough power, and a BIG trunk for his shutes.
you know a better choice?

i think it's a shame as well, but that's the best car for those demands
