[urq] urq] Chicago performance benchmarks for mildly tweeked WX urq

[Ben Swann]

The amazing thing about this car is it had been sitting for god knows how long
– I had it here for a year and no fuel tank in the car.

Scott came up and we along with Steve mills, put it back together, located a
coil and it pretty much fired right up.  Scott drove it home from Annapolis.
I don’t know if he did the JNR stuff on the way, but wouldn’t be surprised.

If that car does 5.8 0-60, what do you think mine  repowered to 2.5 bar and
EFI will do?  AACo.  Police man pulled up behind me tonight and asked if
everything was allright.  Yes sir officer – just using my laptop to tune the
new engine I put in my car!

Thought I'd throw up some performance data on the General Lee, my old  Amazon
Blue Urq coming back into my possession after 4 years like a regifted
fruitcake with a lot of shipping abuse...  Now adorned with a faded tornado
hood, sunroof and trunk lid...  Hence the Dukes reference...  Stock WX
engine, CIS, with Euro head and cam, 200 flat flywheel, 15psi boost on a
stock k24 turbo with stock exhaust.
 
First traffic light drag a few weeks ago was with a hotshot in a  350Z.  10
lights worth of his various attempts at launching, I only lost 1  when I
bogged the clutch on round 6.  Ran it to 70 (in a lower zone, ahem)  each
time, and 
the guy wasn't fairing very well with the idea.    Published data puts the 
average 0-60 on that machine as 5.8sec
 
Second reference traffic light drag was a 3.5 Maxima SE.  6 or so  lights, I
was about 1 car ahead each time at 70.  Both of us laughing at  the idea
actually, a conversation struck as we waited for a commuter  train.  Published
data puts the average 0-60 on that machine as 6.2  sec.
 
I have a lot of respect for that nissan motor and driveline configurations in
both cars.  Actually surprised me that with no shrouding on the IC, I  was
able to repeatedly take the 350Z.  Thought you guys might enjoy the  thought
of it, as much as I enjoyed the laughs.  To add to the fun, it took  almost 20
seconds to get the PS window down to speak with the Maxima  driver.  C'est ca,
the mistress we call quattro.
 
Yes Mrrs Mills/Swann, the headliner sagged in the back, the driveshaft  still
knocks, and the rear pumpkin still clunks...
