i still would like to see that video.

In defense to the 300zx owner, he was just a little aggrivated that well, he didn't catch up to you in time. A rematch on the upperdecks (say a 55-150 punch) is all he wanted but no big deal really...there's no way that he brags to have a 125mph trapping car, but we were giving an estimate for it's potential(when he finally gets that damn thing tuned, and running more boost), and I guess someone misused that as a claim for his car in his current running state...I only suspect that the car is good for 115-120 traps right now, but maybe when it goes down the track sometime you could see for yourself
The race was had, not on his terms at all...he wished to go to the upperdecks, but you were worried about the cops out and about, so 360 (where you wanted to run) was chosen...**** if he had it his way, he'd probably start the race at 75mph too
If the only place you'll give him a race is at SAR from now on, that's cool..judging by the car's major traction problem, I think we all know who the winner would be from a stop.
...and to everyone else who thinks that this car can be classified as "rice", that's a pretty false statement about it. There are no stupid wings/bodykits/lights or other gay stereotypes that can be associated with his car. But, if you're the type that just calls all imports rice(even those damn supras), then nevermind
Venkman, I think we should have a little race in the near future for old times sake

Thats why the first time we raced i figured even if i took the move, it would be over shortly. I have no problem racing him again at the track, because apparently all he does is make up excuses and accuse me of cheating on the street (i did hear 3 honks, and victor said we both took off at the same time). Oh well, who cares, you cant argue with a dropping christmas tree at the track. Ive also heard some about your car, glad you got it where you want it, and we'll run sometime in the near future.
No problem, I agree about taking it to the track to eliminate all of the outside factors that can mess with a race on the street...My car still needs a tune badly before I can really get on it, but I'll be out at Vans this weekend for the hell of it

I find it hysterical that Austin gives vague comments to try and make his car look nice and mean. Oh, and I also find it hysterical that he says there is video proof, yet wont post it. Oh, and one last thing. I post on here, and i live 10 minutes from the 3rd biggest city in the US, but I MUST be a hick because i enjoy the almighty LS1. The problem with first impressions is you only get to make one, and Austin, you just made yourself look like one huge dumbfuck. Nice job mate.

We're all hicks. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go over to the "Porch Repair Tech" forum and see if anyone answered my post on how to remove dog carcasses from underneath a collapsed awning.
