Props for actually taking it to the track man.

At least say what it trapped

Sorry guys. I don't mean to be a jerk about it, but I really don't want to let out what it did.

So you post/brag bout power numbers but can't post a track time?

Unless its a gutted tin can, I am gonna say it can be a mid 10 sec car, so why play these games...?

Its like the whole, "look at me guiise and tell me how cool this is guise!!!"

So if the track times weren't that great, wouldn't that bring more street grudge opportunities? I'm sure folks would like the opportunity to say they beat up on a high 600rwhp car...

The fact you keep posting like this makes it all worth it.

I can understand not posting ET's for street racing purposes however going by that logic you shouldn't be posting roll racing videos either if you are really concerned about others knowing what your car can do.

Its pretty hard to judge how fast a car is in a video, compared to knowing an ET or MPH.

FWIW, keeping it quiet for the street scene is only half of why I am doing it (although now that I know it has fired up shownomercy, I may have another reason ).

Its not the last time the car will see the track. Once I am able to get more runs in, learn how to use my new slicks and skinnies combo to show the cars true potential, I will post up what it did. Hell, I'll even get it on video for you all.

Depends on your hustle. Out and about with your hood open, posting vids of acceleration runs and races beating blown Cobras on E85 it proves difficult you're just running a stock block, LT4 hotcam with 7psi of boost to anyone who wants to do just a few minutes of research on you.

Whatever I'm doing, it seems to be successful for me.

The 9 second GTO I ran on the curve at the end of the E85 Cobra video looked under my hood for a while, and didn't even notice I had a blower (it is hard to see if you don't know where to look).

So you are primarily not stating what you ran in an attempt to annoy a forum member?



Guess the wait is finally over.

You don't need to say anything with the videos doing all the talking.

Hahahaha

No. Had I had more practice getting a good run in, I would have said what it ran. Patience. I will post up what I run after I get more time in it.

Alright, I suppose I could let the 60' time slip. This will show why I know it can do much better. Honestly am pretty happy with how it did do given this lousy 60' time.

1.89

My best with slicks and big ballin' 18" wheels up front was a 1.56. But again, that was on a previous combo I was used to. Just need some more time and practice.
