Phil's car is a 2000, not a '95. Just being a nit picker... Looks great!


Also, BTW, Where's MM's 8.73 @ 158?

I'm gonna be honest. Not much of an ezine article. Reads like a forum post.

Yeah it's more of a list because it is a list.

Let me know if you have other car suggestions, this list has taken a lot of time so far with emails and phone calls, happy to add entries.

Thanks, I just added you the list today.

I'll be revising the list tomorrow so guys let me know who I'm missing.

I'll make it a true Top 100 list tomorrow and will break it down by category at the end of the info.

Okay, I've created a true top 100 list:

http://www.planetlsx.com/vehicles/10..._All_Time_/147

If you have corrections or updates please email me at john@motorsports-media.com.

I am missing a bunch of names too, especially of the Corvette guys.

No ****? its a list? You're kidding!

I meant it reads like a forum list vs. a list you see in an actual publication. Why not, i dunno, write a blurb (1-2 sentences) for each car vs. just "114mm turbo/ KUP/ERL 427/ AllPro heads/ Edelbrock intake/ 315 drag radial/ 3470"

Maybe "Mike's Trans Am is outfitted with a Kurt Urban-build ERL block 427 utilizing All Pro heads and Edelbrocks xxxxx intake. It uses a 114mm turbo from xxx with the popular 6.0L cast iron manifolds. It weighs 3470lbs and uses MT's 315/60 Drag Radial."

I dont care either way...i just thought you guys were going for an online mag feel vs. a forum...i mean...that is what it is right?

Got it, I'll update you once I dig into the list (probably tomorrow noon).

By the way y'all, #100 is a 9.7 car, can you dig it!!!%!

I bet once I get the list fixed up a bit more the #100 will be around a 9.4!

Yeah i was thinking about that earlier today, I got to get a 70 something to just make the list, probably won't last long at a 70 tho with the way these cars are running!

Pro Stock John - What is the best way to get in touch with you? I have a copyright question, I tried pm but I see that function is enabled???
