Never tried an F body, but I would kill a stock vette and I will be hanging with very modded folk very soon. I lost a length to Eurospec the other day on a 70 to 120. Damn his car sounds great at that speed.


Later EDIT: What I meant to say was he walked me like 7 to 10 lengths!

Believe that crap if ya want to

Its stock except for a servo, hence the low shift points to keep from slipping

umm it was ALOT more then 1 length....

Im hoping the statement "A long length" was a figure of speach, not to be confused with "1 car length", becouse im sure Rodney woudnt fib about how much i pulled on him (more like 6-7 lengths for our short burst run)

pass me that ****...I am for real, gimme a hit! Are you high? I will only run you with witnesses from now on. If you were ever ahead 6 lengths, that would be because I had let off due to traffic.

This from the the guy who said I red lit and really lost.

PS Nobody wants to hear how your Vette was faster and you were slow. take some nodoz Aug. 24 bub!!!

Later edit:"A long length" Can you read? I never said a long anything. Reread my post.

heres how i see it it you cant run the same thing you can on the street then thats not what you run if you can run a 11.5 on slicks the your not a 11 second car because you wont run in on street tires. so yall talk all the **** you want but if you cant run it on street tires then your not that fast. and if you daily drive on slick well your either dumb or you got a lot of *****. but none the less its a street car they drive on street tires when you can back it up on street tires then you can talk ****.

I concur! I ran 235/75/16 oe truck tires "aka pizza cutters" when I got the win light on a certain little red Vette. It made the little trucks first 1320 pass special to us. A pic if ya doubt thats the way it went down...
