Gauging cost on QMP kit- Will I even like it?

Unusual if you go out and buy a car that you like and you are proud of it does that make it wrong? What the **** are you trying to prove? I am very happy with this car. I have owned at least 50 FI cars in my life and this is probably the best one I have ever owned. As far as the tune this car has and the way it runs and drives, I know it is the nicest one! It is kind of funny that if you look at my thread with the pics of my car, there are probably 60 replies as to how bad *** people think the car is, but you get on here and want to run your mouth about my car because you dont like Rob! You dont even know me, so there is nothing negative you can say about me, but again you bash me and my car because it came from Rob! It doesn't take a real smart person to look at the pics of my car and see how clean and well built it is and when you ride in it there is no way you can deny the power it makes either.

Oh and Unusual you can say that I will get no respect from you, but what are you going to do if you ever have to run this car one day and it busts your *** by a full 2 seconds? I think that demands respect!

What is HARD to do? Put a car in the low 10's or high 9's? I have never had any problems doing it with my other cars and they didn't make this kind of power. Look, there is no since in arguing about it. I love the car and that is that! If it never runs any better than low 10's who cares. This is still a real street car, in full street trim, with cold a/c, that I would drive to California without thinking twice, and that is not something you find on every street corner in America.

I haven't accomplished these things only because it is winter and there is no way for me to in KY as there are no tracks open. I have been racing all my life and driving a 6-speed is no problem for me. I can powershift a car just as well as you I am sure. Again, I grew up with fast cars and anyone who knows me on here can tell you that nothing I have ever owned or will ever own is slow except for my Toyota 4x4! I just sold a 5-speed turbo mustang that I went 10.13 in so I would say I can drive ok and I know the Formula is faster than it. As far as your car looking better than mine or vice versa, that is a matter of opinion. To me there is not a better looking F-body than a hardtop Formula with a WS6 hood and the T/A wing and big front mount really make it look cocky. I also love silver, but again that is my opinion. All I was saying is that when I posted the pics, like people wanted me to, and when I get the car out people love the look and sound of the car. They also cant believe the attention to detail because if nothing else I am a detail freak!

I am only 29 years old, but like I said I was brought up around car. My dad and brother are both into cars. I basically eat, sleep, and crap fast cars and motocross and it has been that way since I can remember!

ruquik, I think that really everyone in here is substituting the word "*****" and putting in the word "car"... it's all code really... And the word turbo in this thread is code for catcher and the word log is code for catcher.
Anyhoo, I'm sure that folks will follow Chad's results at the track.

I agree PSJ, I dont like for people to put me or my car down when they honestly dont know me or my car. I probably should just let it slide, but I guess that is hard for me to do. When the car hits the track next year it will be documented for all to see!
#95
my last post. the only thing i can say is that chad probably has owened at least 50 FI cars. he goes through more cars than anybody i have ever heard of. now how will the car run? i have no idea. will it go 10's? no clue. i wish him the best of luck. turbo cars in our area are a rarity. at least in trans ams or other ls1 based vehicles. good luck to chad and everybody else on the board to running their times. im out

Well put, and I am out as well, no hard feelings here. SStolen I am sorry this post turned the direction it did. I can tell you I love the kit and I hope you get it and have alot of fun with it too, later!

(I know what it really did blue )
I don't even recall saying that Raymer's kit could do an honest 1000RWHP. After all, most of those numbers are a total lie anyhow. 6 and 7 hundred RWHP on a blower car?!? That's nothing but wishing. I've seen NO ONE do any real track number that supported that kind of power. What lies!
UnusualTA and RiceBoy are just two of the people that spew ignorance on this board rather than helping the community. They certainly should be banned. It should be obvious to everyone that they have no technical merit or intelligence at all. If the whole truth is told, I am also selling my trans and rear end, so are there any more questions? On the other hand, I have to respect MM if only because he's taken a more diplomatic approach over the last year (and NO, for the last time I don't want to be your friend )
Now, I am not involved in this, so leave me out of it. I'll be back soon enough to post some times for my ride, as I am going "in a different direction." And that is only because I now have the wearwithall to do as I wish.

BTW - Tony, please note that I am NOT adding to the fire, just defending myself when dragged in to thread by an ingnorant puke. I will not post to this thread again. Thanks. (And the Pro Fab stuff is extremely high quality, thanks again)
