LadyRedhawk,

Hey, hows it going?

I would run at shadyside, but the 1/8th is just to short, my car has really bad wheelhop problems and i can never get any traction. He would prob beat me pretty easily over there! The quarter would be a lot more like it, but its just too far to travel! Plus, the last time i went to shadyside i snapped my axle!

I know what you mean, wish we had a ¼ mile track closer, too.



You can call the office sometime and talk to NL about your wheelhop, he maybe able to help you out with that.



I hear the new GTOs have the same problem with wheelhop.

If he races for the 500 bucks ill do the pulley and chip! Then ill smoke him!
You're both on equal grounds from a dig since you're both driving an M6. You're better off racing him from a roll. First gear is pretty much useless on the street. I suggest going from a 50mph roll in second gear. That's going to be your bread and butter. The problem is that is the perfect spot for the LS1 as well. Either way, I honestly think you'll lose buy a car or 1.5 cars if the guy can drive. A few bolt on mods and you'll destroy him. In stock form (or close to it), he has the edge.

HAve these guys run yet or are the too busy typing on the internet and talking about what mods they are "thinking" about doing?

I wish people would just race and be done with it.

Ok thanks for the input unit213, i mentioned going from a roll but he won't do it! I'm working on getting the 2.93 pulley and a tune before i do it! An intake is on the way for friday! I'll prob run him for fun off the line if im still stock, (he'll prob get me) , but ill put money on it if i can get the perf. parts! Either way it'll be fun!

CAI, 2.93 pulley, chip, catback will put you at ~440rwhp. Start looking for Z06's.

David King in the SS said he would run me from 0-140 mph for $500. I guess I'll be making $500. David King, if your on here, you can bring the Z06 if you feel more confident with that. I'll run that for $500 as well.

First of all it was his idea and he came to me. I'm so cocky because i know i will smoke him! You were pretty cocky about coming down here until you found out you wouldn't have a chance! I wouldn't talk about being cocky if i were you!

i was'nt being cocky and when did i decide i didn't have a chance i told you it's a low 9 high 8 sec street car. and unit earlier he said he had lingenfelter heads , a cam and a bunch of other stuff i'm still coming down but it won't be till april as i stated because ladyredhawk informed me the outlaw 10.5 class we're running in has been postponed. but like i said my buddy in his ss will come down this weekend probably if you put up enough money.

unit213,

Lets just say I am smart enough to know I couldn't take a stock 405hp z06 with a c5 intake/exhaust.

I really don't want to have 20 pages of arguing, but since you asked I'll tell you again. You said your buddy with the camaro SS ran 12's didn't you? I said 12's wouldn't be enough to win since you brought up racing for money. I'm being nice and telling you 12's will only lose your money. If you want to run for fun, I'm all for it. Bring it down here and lets have some fun! With that said, if you still want to run for money, bring it down here and lets have some fun!

and like i said in a later post when you were truthful about some of your mods i was about us my camaro is a low 9 high 8 street car and the 00ss is high 9's 10.0's i figured by now the 12's were just a joke.

Damn, all these decked out LS1s! Michigan and Indiana have none of this! I'm going to be in Norfolk, VA all summer. You guys going to still be playing? I'd love to come out, even if it is a bit of a drive! (BTW, there's no way in hell I'm racing any of you, lol, unless its understood that i get a big head start)
