Its called insight. Some people have it, others don't.

I don't need a tissue. Its a justification and a fact. I guess understanding weather and altitudes affect on drag racing is dumb....

Being faster and being fast are two different things. Again.. he never said he was fast. You can call it insight or whatever else you want.

its off topic, but your a fun guy.

got this to help my use of "fast" in my sentence

wiki:
Another important use of quotation marks is to indicate or call attention to ironic or apologetic words. Ironic quotation marks can also be called scare, sneer, shock, or distance quotes.
Ironic quotation marks are sometimes gestured in oral speech using air quotes: My brother claimed he was “too busy” to help me.

Quotation marks indicating ironic use of a term should be used with care. Without the intonational cues of speech, they can obscure the writer’s intended meaning.

guess i should of said 'fast' instead.

Hell if I know. It's just for fun. I don't really care what time or trap speed I have. It's a full weight WS6 (minus spare/jack) on Goodyear Eagles GS-D3 275s. Hooks pretty well from a 2nd gear roll as long as it's above 40 degrees.

Nice car and good kill story. This is what sucks about racing people you do not know or at least get to talk to after. You only know what happened in one car during the race.

Like your car by the way!

quoted to laugh at ignorance. . .

our DA here he stated 2500-4000 now the DA in PA -xxx [insert some ridiculous negative DA that we never see in the desert]

that right there is a huge difference, my fastest time in phoenix was a 13.385, but if i correct that accounting for DA it is equivalent to a very high 12 or a very very very low 13.

now considering the Z28 ran a 13.2 i'd say with DA correction he'd be right around a 12.8-12.9 which would be a very good race for Tug as he also stated his 13.0 was with some extra weight and with that out he could pull a 12.9 which would only tie the Z28 so

and i totally agree, as i had nearly the same debate with you Tug a couple days back.

would be an extremely interesting race, and like i've said before i love that White G8

yeah i think he probly missed 3rd...this is my 3rd race against a 335 and the only one worth posting because of how big the difference was. and the fact that it was the xi.

if you take the weight off for 1/2 a tank, leaving 1/4 tank in, its a 12 second car with a tune only...thats why i posted the amount of gas on that run.


and the next person with a slower car than me that calls bullshit can ****** blow me.
you shouldnt drink and drive tug....

i say BS... and i have the faster car, so i win!

that is exactly what he is saying... gad weighs around 7lbs a gallon, which a full tank could make you run 2/10s slower in the quarter... seems like a difference to me.. i will only run/race on a 1/4 tank..

lmao... wow, ignorance is bliss i suppose..

2001 Z28 Y3F
Hurst w/ ws6store shifter, MTI CF lid, FRA, DynoHookerMax catback. MSD 8.5mm/NGKT55
13.2@108mph/2.2 60ft phx.

he runs 13.2@108 in im sure much warmer weather, and def. a higher elevation.. not to mention the 2.2 sixty foot.. so "bench racing" ( at the ---> " ") he would beat tug..



good kill tug!

PS. im still waiting for us to run..

****, only 2000-4000 DA...I wish I had that. I am at 4600' Elevation, let alone when you factor in Humidity and everything else. I envy everyone with -DA's.

Both the 335i and 335xi are twin turbo I6's. The Xi is AWD.

Yeah, if your buddy has a 335xi, it's turbocharged.
