lol, I'd bet it would. What's your car run?
I see you edited your post, (presumably to alleviate the gross ******* arrogance of your statement) but I still think Gizmo's car would embarrass you, especially at an 1/8 mile track. Your only hope would lie at a 1/4 mile track where your car would hopefully make enough power to drive around him. That's quite a compliment to Gizmo's car and their collective achievement considering we're comparing a stock class LT1 car to a built 408 gen III series powered car.

Don't know yet..this is a new setup.
Old setup with blown Rings was kick'n out 7.1 1/8 miles, 11.19 @ 120 was the quickest in the 1/4.
I'm willing to bet with my new Gearing and new 408 setup it's got 6.9X's in the 1/8 and atleast a 125+trap in the 1/4 mile.
Question for ya there bud..why you trying to bring my car into it compared to Gizmo's? Just cause the other people that say they are quick don't have **** to show for it isn't a valid reason to bring me into it like I said something about my car compared to his.
I haven't talked Gizmo's down any, he's got a great thing going with them kids and that car is movin for what is it.
Dont blend in with the rest of the turds here startin crap.

I never said you talked down about Gizmo's car - we both agree he's got a great set-up and program going.
And good luck to you on your new build - I will be building an LQ9 for my junk later this year. I'll be referring to your build thread along the way.

You think what you want to man..you are the one comparing here..I have no reason to compare..two completely difference class of cars. I'm not here trying to race the guy. They busted their asses to get where they are..and it's payin off.
As far as mine goes, I have yet to find the full potential of my car, I plan to do that this summer when I get back from Iraq. It is quicker than you think, that's all I have to say.
I agree with you, these cars here are in totally different classes, so why bring a comparison of mine into it?
Good luck with yours too..there is alot of good info in that thread.
