McGuire AFB Rumor Control
There is so much smak talk around my car I felt I needed to post this because I know I'm going to hear it at work. Last night I ran into a guy from base in a mild 05+ GT. (Silver one) I was next to him at a light, not being a dick or anything, but ready if he jumped. I launched nice and easy and I hear all this tire squeal next to me. So, I got in 1st, backpedaled, started to get sideways in 2nd, backpedaled, 3rd I had to backpedal at tq peak and then again at redline cause I was sideways again. By this time the guy is right next to me, I'd even give him a nose. I can't get in my car on street tires until 4th. So, basically all I could do was keep even with him. 4th hooked ok and I jumped probably 5 cars on him. I took off so fast I'm not sure if he just quit or he just ran out of motor but judging from the sound of his car I'd say I just had too much for him. The guy was cool and everything I'm not knocking his car but I can already hear the **** talking when he goes into work. "He hung with me thru 3 gears". Well, I had to drive the hell out of her to keep it straight, but that is largely true. I do appologze for embarrassing the ole Ford after hooking.
Ok, now for the bad news fella. My car is running 12.3 to 1 as I'm tuning out some fuel bugs. I wanted to be rich. I'm also running a stock 6.0l timing table. There is not a single degree of timing in the car. So, before I go into work and hear all the noise keep that in mind, you didn't get all of her. Good times none the less, and I still can't believe how hard this thing is pulling. Lol, I can't believe I'm making excuses for winning by 8 lengths.

Lol, I would never say I'm > than anything, but people have been wondering how quick I am and I didn't want to let them think its not all that based on this one run somebody local saw when it was out. Especially if that car is stock.

Its a sub 11 car. C6s can't really launch so I don't know how deep in the tens I can get. I'm in the middle of a short notice move so tuning is going slow. Plus, I don't have track tires here so its a waste to try and hook over 500rwhp on runflats. Racing from a dig is kinda gay so like I've been just crusing around not looking for fights. Last night got the best of me and I ran an R6 from a dig and the GT. I walked the R6 but it wasn't a very fair race. The guy was not at a speed the bike would do well without downshifting and standing the bike up whichj apparently he did not want to do.
There are 2 cars here I want to kill before the move. Both trash talking ********. They don't come on here so they just think I'm a bolt on guy. One is a 500whp Evo and the other is a 240 with a big turbo. I can take the Evo running it down by watching what it runs, the 240 I think I can get if I can get a little traction earlier and don't screw up. I'm not John Force, I pretty much suck at the driving thing.

Have you been using your street tires at the track? Don't know what mods you've done but you might just need to get some suspension upgrades on there and she'll start hooking more.
is there a place you guys meet up at on base or you just bump into these guys? I see these nice cars cruising around base once in a while but never meet any of them besides Jeffers but I've never really seen his cars. I know there used to be a car club at the airman's firehouse but is that still going on? Let me know I'd like to meet up sometime. I still have yet to meet with the controlled insanity guys on 38 but I plan to this weekend if everything goes right, even though the car is filthy.

I've wanted to start a get together here on base for a long time but everybody is a pansie.....
And who the hell has a 500 horse Evo here? I only seen one grey evo and some LT drive's it. Asian guy. I've only seen about two cars here on base I'd be afraid to run on the street in the TBSS. The one black C6 and the old black WS6 that used to be on here. Believe he's PCS'd now.
Sucks you're movin out. PM me if you wanna get together and shoot the **** before you leave. I'm good friends w/ the other guy who has the Blue TBSS too.
