You calling me out just cause you paid speed inc for the parts on your car and from the sounds of it you had them do all the work for you. That doesn't mean your car can beat my car. Speed inc parts are the same stuff you can buy from anybody, DUH!!! The gaskets were Gm gaskets and the lines were by Earls. Not my fault they can't even just get that right or call people when they recieve parts in that you ordered. Do you really think that they custom grind cams and all that stuff???? Thats what machine shops are for. Maybe speed does some custom Turbo kits but otherwise all these shops are just R&R.

You can say what you want about my car. I really don't care. Shows what a man you are to talk **** about my car when the cars have nothing to do with what I am saying that speed should do at their open houses. Typical!

Flame on Guys and make sure you all have front plates IF you go to speeds open house next year.

Bye guys and girls. Have fun with this one!


no, they did not do all the work on my car. but yes 90% of the parts were ordered from them. Its simple. you rub me the wrong way and I just want to drag race. If you'd like to set something up with a friendly wager of a hundred or 2 we can go heads up and we can find out if my car will beat you. PM me if you want to set something up.

But them writing no front plate tix is ghay. Let's move on. I tried getting some air under the fronts but I spun like I had just covered my rear tires in canola oil.
man i was wonderin if u were tryin to launch or burn em....i did want to see a wheelie.... but i didnt expect u to get any traction with all that rubber layin on the ground from previous burnouts...and i got chance to check your whip out when it was parked and that thing was gutted like japanese fish..xcpet for those 1,000lbs nos bottles....but man i had no idea that Turbos were that big...seriously the TT's in the shop cars were like the size of my head!!.the only thing i didnt like to much was the way intercooler looked on the white T.A...and just like our threads...THOSE PIZZAS NEED MODERTORS...a dude walked up to me with a plate FULL and i mean FULL of pizza..i was like man whos that for..he said "numero uno"...i was like W.T.F.!!....its not like we all came JUST for the pizza but i mean a little DISCRETION PEOPLE......lemme calm down....

I did a few burnouts but I wanted to launch the car hard. The 3rd and 4th times (4th was after the cop left) I used the transbrake. I think if we had put rubber down some of us could have got a little air.

Not bad, a little blurry on the first pic but it shows em hangin. My car sure does not look as low as at feels. I think the ol SS is going up for sale soon. there cracking down on the strret scene too much so looks like its time to buy a beater Z28 and build it up for the track. My e.t. and MPH just arent comparable to you damn auto guys DOH!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like it was a good time minus the cops... There's no one to blame for stuff that happened, but the people involved. If you got a ticket, you obviously did something wrong, its that simple. Its shitty, but thats life. I'm going to try and make it down next time! Looking forward to it! Putting front plate on too!

Its awesome that a company like Speed Inc will take money out of their profits to say thank you for being a customer. They could have done many other things with that money. Many thanks to Speed Inc.

Also, Congrats to the kid getting arrested. Way to be a man and take the walk of shame with his head high and proud (looks like he's done that before, lol). I didnt see him whine like a little bitch and he is not here on this site blaming others for his actions. I guess you can learn a lot from kids.

As for the cops, dont blame them for enforcing laws created by elected officials. They are doing the job they were hired to do. If you dont like the tickets dont break the law.

And, yes, I am old...

Can't wait to hear and see her run-call me on your next outing at the track. Sorry to hear people getting ticketed for no front plates-one reason I did not bring my car.

Anyways, EVERYONE, lets get back on track, and set ourselves new goals, whether it be more HORSEPOWER on motor, on NITROUS, hitting 11's, 10's, into the 9's maybe? for this racing season!!! I'M READY, Let's do it!!!
Larry, you forgot to give me my stickers which my car earned.
