The track I go to is 1100' (Atlanta Dragway) and my best is

60'...................1.9
1/8 Mile ET........8.3
1/8 Mile MPH......87
1/4 Mile ET........12.3
1/4 Mile MPH......110

But I'm hoping I can catch a cool night and maybe get a 11 second pass for the first time.

It is fast for what it is, but it's still just a bolt on car so it's not FAST. It's a good thing I'm not talking **** to any FAST cars here.

You're car isn't FAST either, Lemons. You have more excuses listed in your sig than mods.



I'll be at Rockingham on Saturday if anyone wants to show me something that I don't already know.

There is no "fast for what it is"... It is fast, or it isn't. It isn't.
No, you aren't talking **** to any fast cars, but you are talking **** to two cars that would both drag you.
I never said it was, I know my car isn't fast (not even close).

I stated what happened on those.. No reason to misrepresent anything. I don't have to make an "excuse" for a car that trapped 96mph in a 2000+DA.. That speaks for itself. People ask me all the time why I only ran 7.2s if I was trapping 96mph, so now it is in my sig so people won't ask me about it.
That is also the car you would have murdered before.... !!!!!!

I would be there in a heartbeat... It must be nice to live in a fantasy world where DA differences mean absolutely nothing. Let me know what you run with a 2000+DA... I'd be interested.

So I'm taking this as you are turning down my generous offer?

My car is a 100% N/A 331 stroker 5.0 (stock block) with a .555/.565 lift camshaft as you saw in the video. Its by far anything to be worried about. AND I have to shift my own gears....

And I think the big difference here is Lemons and I aren't the one talking crazy **** to someone for no reason at all.

I just came in a made one comment (not meant either way) and it was deserving of a ban.....



O... (Again).



He gets his panties in a wad if you say you are faster than he is, whether you are or not.

It depends on who it is for me... Majority of people I could care less. There is a few people I know though that will NOT run faster than me.

I've already heard all about why your old car didn't do what it should. The point is: It didn't' do it.

I ran 7.4s and 11.8s in 2000+ DA this summer. That was like 80+ degree heat. I guarantee I could do that or better at your track in cooler air (similar DA). I live in a fantasy world where DA means nothing, but you live in a world where it must mean quadruple what it's worth.

Your offer to come to my state and race me? No, I'll be in Rockingham on Saturday. Street racing in Charlotte just seems dumb.

Who cares? This is the internet, try not to get your feelings hurt.

I was joking about banning you. So don't get your panties in a wad.

It did enough it would have handed you your ***.. This one doesn't do as much as the old one without it having a tune and spinning and this one would hand you your ***.

And mine ran 7.2s@96 spinning without a tune in the same DA.. What the **** would make you think we would be a good run in the 1/4? It would get ugly real quick after the 1/8.. You would out 60ft me by a car or so while I was spinning.. I would come by you and proceed to put around 5 on you while having 6mph or so on you by the 1/4 mark.
I know exactly what DA equates for..
With this car (before adding skinnies, getting a tune, etc etc) I ran the same times you run... With you being in a 200DA or whatever and me being in a 2000+DA.. I'm sure we will be dead even......

How about we put a few hundred on it and meet somewhere in the middle? I have no question what my car is capable of, I know the outcome of the race. We can do 1/8 or 1/4, whichever you prefer.

He would be an idiot to do it (unless he is made of money).. But if he will, I will.

I had a feeling he was more talk than bite from the beginning. Wonder what the excuses would be if I could magically get off work Saturday, drive all the way up there, and bust his *** at his own track? Now that would make for a great video!

Oh wait, I mean if I could find someone to let me borrow their car which was faster than his.

I was wondering how you were planning to do all this.. Then I saw the second part.
