LOL! Yeah Gator..... I could see that if the one post wonder's post had been deleted.
All I did was rip his nuts off as kindly as I could, and POOF! Post gone.

Oh well.
I still hate a ******* *****.
There.... I said it.
Ban me.

You know Ron people will bitch about anything that was not their idea. Some people did not like the color of my car, some did not like the 4-link, color of the seat belts, some did not like the wheels, etc,etc etc. If Proline had not fixed the mess I had with the motor and tune and Vengeance had not cleaned up the other mess I had, I would not be in the 8's with a NA car. But who cares, I have a 8 second NA car, do you?

Maybe we can run heads up on motor at the LSX meet, haha.

No protection here... SlowETz made a post responding to the 416GTO guy and it seems it wasnt very PC and somehow got deleted....

No need to protect Vengeance from ANYONE... We arent perfect, but we will gladly own up to and take care of our own mistakes.

That being said, We went to test at ORSCA last weekend and got rained out. Going to hit the track this week as soon as we get caught up in the shop.

Z06CU, I couldnt agree more

JMill, see above... Will post results as soon as we get some

Driver/owner has been either on the opposite coast, or out of the country for the last four weeks.

Cool air might be worth waiting for at this point.
