haha i think its impossible for me to spin mine on dry ground, that 2.5L engine was made for sippin not spinnin lol, but i guess if i REALLY gunned it in first, it could happen, but gas is wayyyyyyyy to expensive to play like that lol

 

there was a cold icy morning a few weeks ago and i was drifting the employee parking lot in all 5 gears! stock size tires. there was nobody else in the parking lot or i wouldnt have even tried it! the shift light wasnt on at all so my rpms were relatively low. idk if i could do it now with 3.07's and 33's

 

My shift light doesn't work half the time. When I did my gauge swap, I put a fresh bulb in and it worked for a day and occasionally kicks on. I love playing with my XJ on ice, but I can drift it in the dry no problem. The cul-de-sac I drive through everyday is littered with burnout and donut marks, haha.

 

My 98 has no problem smoking the 31's with intake, exhaust and a chip. Not many small imports can beat it from a set of lights when they are trying to get past in a lane that closes. The XJ is OK, but if I want to go out on a sunny day and go fast (or at the racetrack) I take my mustang.

 

Mines pretty quick. It's funny to surprise all the ricers with their modded civics when I beat them off the line and up to about 40mph without even really trying! The 4.0HO is a beast of a motor.

 

This one is NOT mine!


how about 9.1 in the 1/4 mile? Fast enough?

 

yeah mina as well i burried the speeedo "not hard to do since it only goes to 80 mph" a mostlikely hit 115 120. not sure tho just taking a guess. that was before i got my exhaust put on idon't know how fast it will go now.

 

Oh gosh my jeep is so f'n torquey lol... the new 4.0ho in there kicks *** Wanna race me anyone?? lol

 

Coming from my VW days.... I would have to say that my jeep.... Its slow. There is nothing wrong with it, it runs like a top and does everything as it should, It even has an intake and a high flow exaust, But I cant call it fast. Althouh I did Recently drive a Renix, and i was shocked at the lack of power it had compared to mine.


I mean this suspension/ Fab stuff is fun and all, But horsepower and Boost give me boners.

 

mine went a whopping 15.1 in the 1/4 mile... with a 100 shot of nitrous. pretty impressive for a 4x4 6cyl SUV imo. at least i know i can beat 90% of the v8 pickup trucks out there

 

bah, cheater spray! engine steroids!!! lol, jk.

 

i want a turbo.....

 

9.1 with a cherokee in the 1/4, impressive but would be better if it had stock suspension and that's probably not even the stock engine. 4.0 w/ mods would make it just that much more awesome.

 

I believe you meant to say 9.1 in the 1/8th. Lol if i had a 9 second in the 1/4 mile XJ, it'd be slammed with slicks on all 4 corners lol.
