I raced the Mike guy in Bossier with my SS. He beat me but I only had a 150 shot on when we raced. He is the District Manager for Goodyear Tires. I met him the other day in person but he told me his car is supercharged not TT. But who knows everyone seems to try to fake people out and not let on to all their mods.

no not same guy then. His car is silver with a black convertible top. I dont think its a 8 sec ride either, fast but not 8 seconds. I would like to see this other red car. The car sounds nice. I like red on a vette.

Yeah, Darrell beat me in my first race ever with the new setup by about 3/4 of a car. 20 roll with me at 2700 rpm with no boost built up and him with a 3800 stall ready to rock is not really the best way for my car to start out. Not making excuses, he won plain and simple but it was a race that gave him an advantage from the start. No hard feelings, Darrell is a cool guy and we talk quiet a bit.

My car is by no means a drag car and is still on the stock Trans/Diff but if anyone wants some highway fun, Just holler at me

Id still like a run-in with ShreveportLS1 and the silver Vette

I am saddend at this comment...lol...i dont know who gave you the impression that i had an advantage from a roll with a 500 lbs heavier car and and automatic with a stall converter...but a twin turbo, built ls1 6 speed vette, from a roll is heads over heals advantage on my camaro and i have a STOCK EVERYTHING suspension, rear end, heads, motor you name it. Not to mention you have more gear than i have. Not to mention that you in 1st gear on your standard and me in 1st in my automatic your RPM's would be much higher than mine.But its all good i guess...some of the guys you talk to were out last night sayin you told them you ran me on your lowest boost setting...i didnt know where that come from since you told me your self you ran on your highest setting. But you are still my homie and i still need that scavenge pump...lol

I have stock suspension, rear end, and heads also. I just think that at 20 mph without me brake boosting cruising at 2700 rpm and with your big stalled car already in boost has an advantage. I promise you my RPM's are no higher than 2700ish at 20 mph in first. Im not taking away from your win brotha, I had a good time and had fun racing. ****, that was my first run in a LONG time and first with the new setup. Its fun to get out and run and not break **** LOL Ill probably get a new tranny after the first of the year but for now its all granny shifting baby

I have no clue who was talking to you last night but obviously things are getting twisted around. I dont try to hide anything. Thats why I dont like big crowds when races go down. I didnt tell anyone anything like that.

Your still my homie and I still got the pump at the shop whenever your ready.

I would like a rematch sometime when Im not sick to see if any of my driving changes make a difference.
