hmmm... so he had someone drive 20 miles ahead of him sit on the side of the road to wait for him to fly by?

Someone should also ask him about the abuse thing. 207 mph in any car sounds like abuse to me.

SAFC will not remap a whole computer.... at best it guesses what the computer is doing, and adds fuel in percentage increments... not a measured increment.

He spent $5000 to make his car look like a bass. Good job dude.

Oh, and (referring to the subject of the thread) I didn't see Ludacris at all!

lol, sent this guy this email via ask the seller a question:

"I really wish i could get my 2000 z/28 to break the 200mph mark and i was hoping that maybe you could give me a few pointers. I have the same mods as you but a 600 shot of nos instead. i also took out all of my stereo equipment to make the car lighter. i have almost 1:00 final gear ratio, so the top end should be there for me, but i cant figure out why i cant hit 200mph... i was hoping maybe you could help. down here in georgia theres a stretch of highway thats straight for about 30 miles, i started at one end of it got up to the max speed my car would go n/a and then hit the nos. sadly the car topped out at 198.456 mph according to my incar g-tech pro. I've done lots of custom tuning to the PCM myself, so i know thats not the problem. Can you give me a few pointers as to how i may break the 200mph mark?? Thanks"

tried to sound as rediculous and stupid as possible, so i'm sure he'll take me serious. lets see if he responds...

Wonder what type of brake setup he has? I doubt the 'ole stockers would hold up very long once he did try to slow down. He says it took him 20 miles between toll booths to get up to speed? How did he know how far before the toll booth he would need to apply the brakes to bring him to a stop? Judging by his responses... he doesn't exactly portray a very intelligent man.

Either he has that front ground effect bolted in place or he has some damn good two sided tape for it to hold up to 200+mph lol And I wonder how he was clocked at 207mph and by who? How would they know at which point between the toll boths they would need to be able to clock him at top speed? Judging by that one interior shot... he still has the stock gauges so unless he had someone in the car with him to note at what gear he was in and the RPM's, there's no way for him to be able to tell inside what speed he's doing? Is it even possible for a stock cam'd, stock rev limiter, 3.42 geared and .5:1 6th gear in the T-56 able to hit 207mph with a WS6 hood to add drag and no real under carriage modifications to help with the resistance?

Always fun to poke fun at people Maybe giving some you other guys more questions to ask him. Ask him if the car needs new tires because he melted the current ones on that high speed run lol

20 miles!? His rear end fluid would be boiling!!!

Even if he could do this for 20 miles, his car would accelerate to say, 140-150 fairly quickly, between a half mile to a full mile. (My car with cam and bolt ons mph's in quarter at 115 NA, and 127 on spray) So from lets say the 2nd mile to the 20th mile he's is accelerating between 150-207??

That would take somewhere around 6-8 minutes of driving between 150 - 207mph.....No I don't think this happened at all.

His tires would have superheated, his rearend fluid would start boiling as well as his transmission fluid. His engine would be between 5000 and 6000rpm for the entire time....AND 2 10LB NITROUS BOTTLES WOULDN'T LAST THAT LONG!!! And nether would his engine. What a ***.

ROFL i love this thread!!!! I really hope no one buys this car specially from this gay-wad. Can you imagine all the other things he didnt lie about?!! Poor customer satisfaction and he has good feedback!!! well all i say is who ever (hopefully no one) places a bid on it, we need to email them privately and tell them to cancell their bid!! Dont want some one to get sucker'd into this nut-job!!...maybe we should email the seller this thread to see what a dick he is and how ya'll are making funn of him, love it!! keep up the work guys!
