: Racing for Pinks
Denial 08-24-2004, 12:41 PM Appears Speed Tv is coming out with a new reality show. I hope some Duramax hero shows up and cleans house. Only problem, what to do with a bunch of rice boxes?

More than likely the latter.
McRat 08-24-2004, 03:45 PM Jeez, I always thought racing for pinkslips was an urban legend. Making a reality show out of a fictional event! What will they think of next!
Burner 08-24-2004, 03:59 PM No, racing for "pinky's" does happen. I've seen it and it's not pretty. Most of the time the "cars" were just a shell, motor, trans, rear & bearly DOT...sort'a. Sometimes the guys would just take the car and never return. Most of the time the winner would sell the car back to the guy pretty cheap but not before the car was taken home and ....er....uh....inspected for various parts. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif

Actually, about 5 months ago I had a fella that wanted to race me for pinky's. He had a 4 month old http://www2.us.porsche.com/english/usa/cayenne/cayenneturbo/bilder/cayenne_turbo_head.gif! I had to decline...... maybe next time. Sure was a nice eh...car wagon suv thing... sort'a. I'd rather have my truck.

Dot it with a stack and a built trans and go for 200.00
4x4 Launch at 15PSIG do it at the track and walk away with some $$$
ratlover 08-24-2004, 04:43 PM Juice,you have never taken anybodys cash now have you. Next your going to tell him to sandbag a couple of times and run for double. Evil evil evilhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Evil Smile.gif

I'd never take someone's money.. they just give it to me i swear.
Was tranny in normal mode?
Burner 08-24-2004, 11:20 PM I told him I'd give it a go for a nickel (500 bucks) but he wanted the "all or nothing" race. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Ermm.gif
The Porshe, VW, Audi, BMW, Range Rover and Lexus dealerships are just down from my house, about 1 1/2 mile. What's funny, there is a Dodge dealership adjacent to them..... it still cracks me up. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif
Dave Ski 08-25-2004, 12:31 PM Raced for pinks a lot when I was younger, in a '69 HEMI GTX. The idea was never to actually transfer ownership. The loser had to borrow another guys car, hop it up and race you driving his car. Win, get your car back. Lose, you borrow and hop up ANOTHER car. ( I had 6 at one time...) Benifit was the guy whose car you borrowed got to keep whatever mods you put on his car. I loaned mine out one time and it came back with a huge plenum cross-ram intake manifold and 2 Holley 850's. It was a lot of fun back then. Couldn't afford it now...
ratlover 08-25-2004, 05:26 PM trany in normal mode. may have to go play some more and see if I can do it, thats just too cool if I can get her to work. Maybe its just a feature of Kanadian trucks?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Tongue.gif
Dave, thats a pretty cool way to do things actualy.

Set Cruise Scontrol @ 50 MPH when the T/C is locked in 5th gear in reg mode, then roll on the throttle and watch the traffic disappear
Roll on until just before 1/8"? before WOT.
Hilarious!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif
ratlover 08-26-2004, 09:09 AM Yeah.....you can roll on it with more pedal with it locked.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Evil Smile.gif
No traffic is dissapearing with my reg juice but I did piss off some people as it washttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif
Crayz 08-26-2004, 03:49 PM Got Juice? I just figured out how to do that a couple weeks ago. I love it, especially when you have a ricer riding your ass on the hwy. Just slow down to about 50 in t/h and roll the throttle on just as they try to pass!

Hmmm... i wonder if this is partially because i never went in for a TCM reflash that i can do it?
Stacked with 2 programs sure is funny as he!! though... and they do disappear (so does the truck once the airflow catches up to the fuelling)http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Rock On.gif
ratlover 08-26-2004, 05:24 PM I think I can give mine more throttle but wodding it or once i hit wfo it downshifts(belches pretty good still) I need to figure out how to get my scanner to comand shifts. 30mph, lock up 5th and let her riphttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif
