Corvette Vs. Typhoon

[grandotitat]

You didn't have time to charge the turbo. I'm sure you'd have kicked him if the launch was with some more boost.

[CoreySkate]

u slept wtf

[marsbars1116]

Question, doesnt green mean go?

[iammalloy]

Well whomever crosses the finish line first wins the race BUT the stopwatch only starts when you cross the starting line meaning you can wait ten mins to leave the line after it turns green and it will only count how long it took you to travel 1/4mile. You can stage (build boost, hold your revs etc) for as long as you want. For racing you do start to leave on the third yellow so you cross the start on green. Termed "reaction time". Good question.

Cheers,

[08SilveradoLT]

Maybe he didn't want to deal with nervousness on launch. And he got a great angle of the vette too :)

[audiboost26]

He was def pullin on the vette on the big end....love the typhoons....

[adict11789]

Yeah, idiot. You should have told your 5 lb camera stand to stay in the pits instead of letting it ride shotgun.

As far as green meaning go, it does, but he could sit at the line for another 5 seconds and get the same time and mph.

Everything is run by sensors. When you leave the line, it starts the clock.

[Nutsymton]

You cannot fucking drive, u missed the green light & you have a friend riding shotgun to film u, weighing the truck down...smart!

[manofthehour114]

Apparently you've never been down a drag strip. The green light only starts the reaction time clock. When the car takes off, the run clock starts. He can sit there as long as he wants after the green light flashes and still run 11.14.

[alterchristopher]

That blazer was moving

All I can say about the vette was that wing is ugly

[08chevydumb]

first of all mother fucker the corvette was whooping his ass you know this truck is over rated it is fast butt that mother fucker aint that fast the only reason u say this cause you dont expect it from the truck

[Deanzsyclone]

Pay attention, watch the green light, look and see how LATE the typhoon left. Man he was sleeping at the light.

[Slideways81chevy]

Ok (1) hes building boost thats why he didnt go right away and (2) if you honestly think your 60 horsepower F22A1 93 accord could beat this all wheel drive mostlikely over 300 wheel horsepower monster than your dumber than you sound.

[tjamesferg48]

where i'm from green usually means go

[6irondriver]

LOL, no sht, bad reflexes there. Maybe too much whiskey the night before the race.

[deniseaustinlover]

horrible launch!

could've run neck and neck with that vette if he hasn't waited until somebody knocked on his window to tell him to get going....

[1993hondaaccord]

Don't get me wrong those Syclones are fast, but personally I want a car that can move in more than a straight line. And my stock Honda would rape that around turns.

[urs0crazy]

yeah because honda accords were built for racing.

stfu u tool

[1993hondaaccord]

Never said it was but it could sure out handle a truck. And if you don't know that cars beat trucks at handling then you don't know much. =D

[Diadematov]

stfuuuuuuuuuuu

[1993hondaaccord]

mmm someone else that actually thinks trucks have a chance at out handling cars? What happened to the ppl who used to know something about cars?

[browntown9616]

this truck could easily outhandle your car, they are lowered and have tuned suspension. Look it up search MW Typhoon for a non biased review. And by the way, ur accord is not meant for racing, it was designed for city folk to get to work and back or get the kids from school, and will get outperformed in every department besides cupholders and gas mileage

[manofthehour114]

I'd like to see you try to race a Syclone/Typhoon. I think it's hilarious that you think an Accord could beat one.

[1993hondaaccord]

I find it funnier that everyone here thinks that sport tuned suspension on a truck will out handle a family car. Trucks have a higher center of gravity. Idc if they have amazing suspension, they still have way more body roll. Oh well this truck would beat me in a straight line. As far as i'm concerned Chevy's aren't worth the metal they are made out of.

[otmshankshank]

queer

[1993hondaaccord]

wow... you are so original...

[otmshankshank]

moron

[1993hondaaccord]

well, i guess the only difference between me and you then is that i'm the moron who had the sense to buy the more reliable car...

[otmshankshank]

how the fuck do you know what cars i have you fucking dumbass.

[1993hondaaccord]

You drive an American truck. Your videos gave it away. I at least hope that the ford is yours, considering thats the lesser of those evils... It's pretty funny when the only insults a 46 year old man has includes swearing and name calling.

[otmshankshank]

moron

[1993hondaaccord]

again with name calling? you call me a moron when all you are doing is further verifying my point. lol

[otmshankshank]

im not 46. i own several cars and trucks. you know nothing. your car is a piece of shit

[1993hondaaccord]

@otmshankshank if i know nothing, then you must no a negative ammount about vehicles.

[gmctyphoon1992]

@1993hondaaccord wait a minute how would you know anything about handling.YouDRIVE a 1993 honda accord those are the worst handling cars in the world with their front wheel drive 60hp lawn mower engine. Plus you talk about reliability everytime i drive i see one of those peices of shit barely holding on to its life blowing a shit load of smoke along with it. Also if you measure the height of a modded typhoon or syclone for the track you ll be suprised at how low they really are.Facts not Insults

[deadrising100]

@1993hondaaccord You drive a '93 Accord. Your opinion matters.

[91ws6formula]

Work on your reaction time, you were sleeping big time.

[BreakingSIilenceFilm]

nice AAA sticker

[Buyahmiata]

he had a better time and higher speed, so he did win, but he let the corvette get a head start and it beat him.

[dectrone]

anyone read the info...he said the blazer won..but he didnt..lool......(typhoon)

[thingk89]

with a better launch it could have taken the corvette>great quality video! and very nice sounding truck> what type of camera did you use?

[traxxasmike]

sick truck. sounds like you have a bad heater valve with that low pitch hum.

[kiteLe06]

where can i buy a typhoon or syclone, i cant find one anywhere, i live in canada, nova scotia

[mobilesuitsteve03]

ebay, or you might have to go to the states an yank one in new england area. they are rare and canada only recived 120 units at the time but keep trying i found mine in buffelo,ny and drove it back to washington state only had 57 k and the up keep was great so it was worth the long drive. i would also try an auto broker to see if they can find one for you. good luck i ope you find one cuz the are faster than videos show!

[kiteLe06]

great thanks for the reply, i tried ebay found nothing, im hoping to get my hands on one soon, what abouts do these things cost any way, im more looking for a syclone than typhoon, but right now, either will do juuussssttt fine

[mwd92]

for a good syclone will be around 18-25k

[chardfilms]

try craigslist in your area

[91ws6formula]

ebay or a collectors car mag like Hemmings. I don't see these on the road anymore, even on Sunday drives. And very seldom at car show either. I hope most of these things survived and weren't totalled.

[copleygsxr]

I guess when you set your boost controller it sounded like my microwave but cool truck

[shitfaceassnig]

lmao nice wing on vette lmao

[dburrigh]

Looks like you may have left a little late, but impressive run nonetheless. Those Typhoons are great!

[nmunmnm]

nice triple A sticker!!! no but seriously you should have spooled the turbo a bit sooner

[c42083]

If vette man was so worried about people knowing his times, he would've kept his mouth shut and let people think the car was that slow. You complain about sharing times, then brag that it can go much faster with proper shift points and nitrous. Should've just kept quiet.

And yes, punctuation is your friend.

[zman6033]

shold have started to boost in first yellow wile creeping to second thats the way the pros do it if it was just motor you have beed fine

[rwflooringvette]

when in racing do we post other peoples times you dont know if we race for money or not and you forgot to say i was having problems with my trans and i did not spray the car that pass i was pissed cause i hurt the trans that night thought you were a decent guy when you tried to help me with my car by trying to figure out what could have broke or if it was just driver error guess not. i would never give up anyones time wether i lost or i was waiting for my boost to spool like you say

[Boostinblazer]

Well!! People who don't want people to know their times generally run or pay for N/T (NO TIME) pass. When you run TEST & TUNE without N/T it is up for the public to see anyway. I post all my times and passes. Hey if someone thinks they can beat me, then line it up! I can go faster by turning the boost up! ITS TEST & TUNE!!! We aren't racing each other!

[dinknaround]

Hey Boostin, seen that, I WAS THERE! Yea, vette guy said tranny prob, he heard loud bang from car in that race. Probably why he didn't push...ya think? If you can go faster by turning the boost up, maybe vette can go faster if trans wasn't f'd up or if he sprayed. BTW...you said "We aren't racing each other!"...uhm, so why in your video descrip do you say "He wasn't happy getting beat by a blazer." Dude, seriously, I mean seriously now.

[rwflooringvette]

if we werent racing each other then why are you online saying vette gets beat by typhoon you dont remember talking about my trans that did break by the way just like you cant remember the times was it 12.1 to an 11.4 or 12.2 to an 11.5 because you already gave two differnt times.i bought the car to mess around with i race motorcycles not cars but my car can go a lot faster when the shift points are set right and we spray so dont be fooled

[blazerboy98]

sweet i have a 91 typhoon and i am in high school nothing can touch it in the parkin lots including last generation camaros and what a bitch for complaining about you posting his times

[iammalloy]

They only made Tys in 92/93

[Boostinblazer]

I Don't know what your talking about! The only thing you said to me was did you just go 11.50 and i said yes and you said why did you leave so late. I said because i was building boost. I never talked to you about your car nor did i even know your car was having issues. There are a few other Typhoons that run @ Atco.

[tigerswede3]

I think rwflooringvette just posted the longest frangment I have ever seen in my life. Did this person graduate gradeschool?

[mike12392]

@rwflooringvette if this is your vette you jus made a fool out of your self with that wing lol

[mixedbreed1282]

@rwflooringvette Take that dumbass wing off your car and you might go faster then 12's with your vette.

[mrsnursey]

dont know if imseein the same vid as you guys, but the one im seein cuts out before you hit the finish line. and it looks like he beat you all the way.for the record i dont even care for vettes. just an observation

[Boostinblazer]

Yes he beat me down the track because he left on the light and i was stsgin truck but he went 12.20 and i went 11.50 so in theory I beat him on Time but if it was NHRA RACE i would been the loser since i was waiting for my turbo to spool.

[markmarshall39]

out of every car maker, this has to be one of the best buys for performance ever.

[wbailey04]

lol duuuude, your reaction time is killing you

[Boostinblazer]

Key Here! TEST & TUNE! I am not racing the other guy, only racing the clock. 11.50 in 1/4 mile.

[boostedturbotom]

dude just stage last let them stage first and build up boost and bump those lights deep you would killed him , maybe you didnt care but i did notice you staged first if didnt you control the light if you stage last also talk to somebody at the track to let build boost it could also be help .

[MikeDunn]

Haha, I do the same thing. Don't really care about the race, only the clock. I stage real shallow just like you and wait til I'm ready. Your description says "beat by a Blazer", but the Typhoon is a Jimmy!!!

[bcbbcb1]

@Boostinblazer Man, that is a quick lil ride! You were definitely faster than the vette for sure. 11.50 with a stock vehicle is bad ass! I wish GM would come out with another Cyclone.

[jlmorris]

Test and Tune nights must be fun there. Is it easy for the RWD and FWD cars to hook?

[atamagashock]

is that Atco?

[RZEZZ]

Worst reaction time ever.
