So anyways, you sound like a shitty driver. 2.5 60' on $90 tires? I had $75 tires and cut a 2.0 60' on my 12.6 run, with a best of 1.90 on a different run, so don't complain about tires being the problem. Or heat for that matter, my run was in 2000 DA. What more excuses since you seem to like them? My stock clutch was **** and the stock master cylinder was all but dead and I had to pick the clutch up from the floor between each shift. That was also on 1 of my 2 passes I got that night so don't say I got to the track a lot. I can't think of any other excuses, maybe you can help me find some?

As I said, that was my first time EVER at the track with that car, and I ROLLED into it, that means I literally just roasted the clutch so I didn't light the tires up. In all honesty at that time the car did have 12's in it, my 60's went from 2.5 to 2.0 but my Et's stayed the same because passing the 1/8th mile mark I just had no top end for some reason. Why87 has seen my car and driven it, If I were to guess were it would be right now with no tune and shot O2's it would be near 12.8-12.9 at worst, and that is a very accurate statement.

I hadn't been to the track in 2 years
I was on the stock clutch
I didn't launch high enough
I short shifted into 2nd
My tire pressure wasn't right
I was stock weight with nothing taken out
I didn't double clutch it like I should have

Quit making excuses, we all have reasons to why our car only ran what it did at any given time. That is what keeps us going back. Fact is you made a stupid comment say a geared bolt on Mach 1 can't run with a LS1 with bolt ons.
Then what made it even worse is you ran 13.2 at the track. Talk **** to me when you get atleast into the 12's! BTW here is my list of excuses, help me out if you can think of anything...

You must've missed my sarcasm. IMO, racegas and your faceplated trans are on the same level, both are race oriented but not "racecar" in my book. If you throw racegas in a bone stock Geo Metro, is it a racecar?
Run what ya brung (and hope ya brought enough.) Bitching about tire compound, transmissions, fuel, tires, cylinders, weight, nitrous, boost, etc. is all bullshit for people who can't handle losing, or are impressed by a setup but have to find any way possible to degrade it to make themselves feel better about their own pile of ****.

As I posted, my first pass EVER was a 2.18, best of 1.90 on the same tires in worse air. I ALWAYS slipped the clutch because my stocker was fried and so was the master, so I know what you're talking about. ![Icon Lol](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_lol.gif)
Where do you start calling it "mid" 12s? I'd say he runs a 12.7 or 12.8 when he goes to the track next (if he's not on a tire...even then I doubt he'll get much better). That's a high 12 to me.

It's pretty sad that thing barely scratched the 9's.
My mods accent all performace, some more than others depending on my set-up.....and help my gas mileage

Says the guy with a crate motor, faceplated trans, custom dual clutch setup, racing brakes, CF hood, massive weight reduction.
I think it would be safe to say you are the one that "will sacrifce anything to make your car faster in a 1/4 mile." I guess your nuts are small. BTW this is what a new 5.0 does with a faceplated trans.

I never said he said it he was a great driver. I was making fun of him because a 2.5 60' =/= great driver. (Note: I am not claiming to be a great driver, just above average.)
While it is more than point and shoot, driving an auto takes a ton less skill than a 6 speed. We'd have to see you drive a 6 speed to see if you have talent.
Duh. Thank you Captain Obvious.

On a side note, how do you like driving the Colorado? Those are the five cylinder ones right? It just seems wrong to me somehow having an odd amount of cylinders but some people really like them. I've never drove one personally or been in one.

Impressive 9 second 5.slo!
I can't talk smack about manual drivers because I am not even good with a stick myself. I'll just throw a stall converter and gears in the next toy I get. Same recipe as zee old one

Nice! Wish I would have bought that 99 TA WS6 I was looking at at 16. Sadly 16 is when I finally started making good money while working at a restaurant in high school 25 hrs/wk

Appearently you know nothing about the streetablity of a fp'ed t56.....it has never stopped me or made me detor to keep my car running.
IMO, the only thing that makes a car a racecar is a 5 gal or less fuel cell.
I'm in the realm of dding a car, I refuse to make sacrifies that would stop me or make me run at a slower anywhere I would want to go in the country(including comfort). Some of you nutswingers will sacrifce anything to make your car faster in a 1/4 mile......I assume you do that because your testies are small.
At least use proper grammar in your insults if nowhere else.
*You're an idiot.
