Nobody has anything to say about it not having a cage?

I saw that and am in total agreement with him. I just was looking for an answer from all the people that say you need a cage no matter what if you have a fast car or that if your car doesn't have a cage it can't be fast.


Again...killer car!

I think I have talked to hime a few times. He was doing a 1000+ rwhp C5 at his house. If it wasn't him, then we have two guys building cars like this with dynos at their houses in Puyallup.

But it's ok if you do a pull on the street if you didn't plan on streetracing, right?



I just want to know why nobody in here says this guy needs a cage with that power level, but I am a dumbass for not wanting to put my one in my car with a lower power level.

ie: CHarris gets busted going 80 in 35 in his vehicle or Mark leaves a dyno day doing a 100 mph burnout on a city street and everybody is all "Way to make that power, buddy!" I ask if anybody wants to meet up to race and I'm a dangerous *******. You are all hypocrits and hypocracy is a bitch. Prove me wrong. You can't. I'm not condemning your actions in your vehicles, just your "holier than thou" attitude.

LOL! See the only reason i even typed any thing was so you could go off on a rant

This guy made it clear he has no plan on ever really racing it ANY WHERE! You make it common knowledge you want to race illegally on the street. Figure it out
