i dont play big dog on the net. if you think tampa sucks, then come up here and take my money. i run for bucks b/c i believe i can hang. dont worry i dont have 396 rwhp. we have two places we can run where there arent cops. roll or dig come bring it.

i dont get mad. i got a 500 dollars sitting here with your name on it. come bring it. if thats not enough money for your time, then name your price.

i have no friends in high places, and make no claims of turbos fitting in my toolbox. as for being a ricer...call me what you want. just makes you look the fool.

to say tampa "tracks" suck and we dont have cars in your league, lol. ball is in your court. if you are just here to run your mouth and not your car, then i will consider this case closed.

If you want to high speed race then rent out sebring for the day and run your event in a controlled enviornment. If you cannot get to speed there you will never will. Oh and sure we are all slow here in tampa. My little LS1 motor has nothing for ya.

I have installed about 30 superchargers on various cars,...I have installed 4 turbocharger kits.....I am building a motor....just waiting on the right setup.... Do I go turbo, or do I go nitrous?.....thats the question I ask myself daily, bucky.

Whatever it is you think you know about me,...doesn't bother me one bit. You can talk **** over the internet until your little fingers fall off. I make money at what I do,...and I am good at what I do. I'm not gonna sit here and debate on what you think is right, and what you think is wrong. Nor do I care about your opinion.

Grow up dude,...if you dont like south florida, cool,..don't come here. I don't go to tampa.... dork.

Now back on topic.

Well good for you, you're a technician.....(translation: grease monkey) that works on cars for a living and you expect everyone to to you because you do all of your own work???????

Give me a ******' break!

I am not a trained technician and I do all of my own work and have never lost a motor nor did any of the h/c cars that I did in my garage and got paid for.

Does that make me a hero? No it doesn't, it just shows that what you do for a living can be done by anybody. I can probably train a chimp to do what you do.

I've done it all from motor rebuilds, swaps, clutches, headers and everything in between in my garage.


Let me guess you work on Honda's?????

phoenix if you wanted this silly bickering to end, wtf did you bring it up? its beating a dead horse. another comment about the pissing match and this gets locked.

the flying mile idea is not a bad post IMO. worthy of discussion. i just want to know who he has to sponser this venture? it sounds interesting.

1 mile races are for Cars with over 1000 HP. Just because this tool cant launch his car, doesn't mean he should run with the big dawgs.

Just so you understand, i'll respond for you. Your car is quick man, all LS1's are, especially on spray. Good for you. If you think I would come to a race, with 400 to the wheels,..ONLY....your not a very smart street racer, are you. Any avid racer, knows when to shut his mouth, and when to jump on his "prey" so to speak. Your tactic's don't impress me, nor do they intimedate me. All of you talk about smarts,...but yet, none of you can comprehend my posts. I never said tampa,...that shitty city that you all live in, dosn't have fast cars... I know you guys do. But If you think your car, is fast,...then you really have no idea what fast is.

The idea of this post, was to spark a fire, for everyone, that likes to go fast not to talk about your OPINION of an area. If and when this happens,...don''t ******* come. Just sit at home, as your doing now,...and try and rain on someone elses parade. Talk about a bunch of ricers.

sideshow, when I want to waste my time, just to go to tampa,......i'll be in an airplane, flying overhead.... cause the last thing I want to do, is touch foot in a city that smells like ****, the moment you enter it. Yeah, that place is awesome

Get a life, dudes... and stop blowing eachother <---looks gay right?...that what you all look like.

You can bash me about me being a grease monkey, all day. I'm still getting paid. 26...and drive a vette. Suck a dick buckey

Any of you, that would like to come over here,...where there is vast amounts of *****(as in vagina's you dorks) running around in the streets,...you let me know. I'll be here... ..and I would be more then willing to introduce you to plenty of cars. Some of which have been to your city, and fucked up plenty of your cars.

Again, this thread was ment for people that love speed, and are somewhat tired of haveing to deal with the idea of going to jail, for driving fast. Which I have had the pleasure of recently.

If you do not have anything to promote this, or any ideas to make this work,,...kindly shut the **** up. Thank you, have a nice day.
