Default I've Seen The Light



With winter approaching, a high horsepower convertible as a daily driver makes perfect sense to me...

2002 A4 Silver Vert with 12,000 miles

Billett grill and Magnaflow catback are en route

=================================================

After reading Jaberwoki's So You Want To Be Fast section I of course want another F-body to mod as a drag car...

Hmmm, I'm starting to see a correlation of this mysterious "new member" you spoke of in the Southern Section, Kwik. Reformed the man , have you? Incidentally, technical, we do have rather nasty winter storms in TN . At least one or two a year.

But you Kwik Chik, made 3 mistakes:

1st: You bought the SS, and let me drive it

2nd: You came light, staying stock with the 345 horsepower SLP options, that's insulting...

3rd: And this is the most important...you should have dusted me when you had the chance

==============================================

JuJu: I've got a friend with a 2000 Corvette Convertible as his daily driver, he has no garage, and says driving is really bad a only few days of the year...being self employed, I won't fire myself for staying home and researching spring time mods on those 3 horrid winter days

I did not know that.

Do you get the rainy ice storms or just plain snow?

Hi again Z-vert! Nice ride, btw. When do 'ya wanna' race your 'slow-boat'?!

We don't get hit as bad in the Eastern part of the state, juju hogs all of the pretty white stuff for himself. I've lived in K-town for 17 yrs. and we've only had one bad snow-storm that shut everything down for 3-days back in '93!!! Other than that, a few flurries here & there, but it always melts asap.

"When do 'ya wanna' race your 'slow-boat'?!"

You are probably one of those "I have a classic limited edition so I'm leaving it stock" types --- can't blame you for that, yours is probably the coolest F-Body ever made, IMHO...

With that in mind, you probably don't wanna risk messing up your car by all out racing, so I'll say anytime... and remember:

You mess with the REINDEER, you get the ANTLERS.

You'd think I would too.
--------------------------
@ Z-vert...time & place? btw- what handicap do you want me have to make it a fair race?

Oh, and while you might have a pretty lil shiny silver 'vert...I might've gone a different way.

Lastly, There's gonna' be one speed-MINE! So if ya' can't keep-up, don't step-up. You'll only get yourself killed.

Welcome. Seeing your car makes me miss my old vert even more. That's why my logon name is Z-Convert. But, then again, it was an LT1 car and I traded it for an LS1 car.

================================================== =====

OK Kwik Chik, take the badging and graphics off of your car, and add a big Honda Rice Wing to mine --- oh no wait, then I'd blow your doors off...

I'm guessing V-Tec and NOS stickers on my Z would add enough power that we'd be close...

Wish I could personalize mine w/something like that, but we can only have 6 letters/numbers on our plates!

@Z-vert; Good idea, that way it'd weigh even less & I'd beat you by that much more!!!
