Tony, your logic and thinking are fuzzy. I agree I can make one run faster than 11.50, but our match will presumably be best 2 out of 3, or 3 out of 4. I am obviously unwilling to make 2 runs faster than 11.50 and get banded from the track. Let's agree to race to 1000 ft or 1100 ft. If you lose, you can blame it on the shortened track.

No I didn't want to screwup the car, like I did my previous one. It's a street car.

run once. do or die. get kicked off the track with that car.... there is always another track. street cars don't run on the track, race cars do. atleast throw a 6 point with swingouts in it. its not like these cars are rare or something and your already twisting the **** outta the chassis making the car worthless anyway

There's only one track in Denver.

If it's licensable, it's a street car. My Firebird is a race car.

I agree a 6 point bar would make some sense.

Worthless? I've already been offered $30,000 for it.

Lets look at it in these terms....

1998 Z28....stock heads, stock bottom end, stock intake, big cam, headers, D1 Blower, 9 inch, stock suspension. Maybe off the blower the car would make 365-385 RWHP, dynoed 490 with 6 psi.

1999 SS...forged FMS 346, AFR heads, medium cam, FAST intake, 90 mm throttle body, built 4l60E ( Rossler ), Strange 12 bolt, every suspension goodie there is ( BMR ), and a 75 wet shot of n20. The car is in the mid 400's RWHP NA, with the 75 shot that should easily put it over 500. And even more when it goes to a BIGGER shot.

Bickel;s car should beat my car easy right?

SORRY did'nt happen.

Where is the money?

Don

Bickel, you lost? No offense Blown 98, but I don't see him losing if he was spraying! His motor to ur blower, would've been a really good race depending on how hard he came out of the hole, so what's the real deal?

Like I said before: unlike you, I have a life away from the keyboard. It took a few days to reply because that shows just how little your words mean to me. There is a parade somewhere calling you to join. Besides, If you don't think Bickelfirebird's cars are above and beyond, why don't you race him? Maybe he will give you a head start..something like half track would do.
