What about the 180 trap-capable motor he is putting in an identical car?
My point is that you are NOT graceful when someone has something faster than you. If it's not a GM, you always look for SOMETHING to bitch about. You launch at too high of an RPM, ok yeah you may be fast at the track but on the street you're not, you're running E85 super secret government chemically engineered race gas, you need slicks to run that time, you just have a good hole shot, your parts are aftermarket, you clapped 3 times and said elephant 3 times, whatever it is, you complain. It's just sort of a bitch way to discredit someone else's car...

I have more than 7 posts, the counter doesn't move... Lmao. And yes I prob know more about Fox Stangs than most of this site since this is a Chevy site...
Not that it makes any difference, but my car with its old setup (built in 2000) ran 34-35 mph in the second half at the track, and I guarentee your Camaro would have been nowhere in sight over 150 mph...
The new TT374 setup will run over 150 in the qtr on the wastegates (11 psi)... Motor came out of a near identical car to mine runnin 180mph traps with 20psi.
The other slow fox in my garage would probably bust that *** too.

Hard to get it moving on a 10blt
Usually it runs 100+ in the 1/8. That day 1/8 was down and 1/4 was up....go figure.What about the 180 trap-capable motor he is putting in an identical car?

The WORST is the DD excuse. If yours is a DD, SWEET! Is this the DD section? You always preach how this is the STREET RACING section...so if that means I race my Funny Car on the street, I could post and tell you my ****'s faster than yours...and you would resort to the above excuses/methods of making yourself feel better.
Give credit where credit is due. If you ask what my car runs, this will be me --->
Because that excuse just says hey I don't have a better point so I am going to try to tell you my car is faster than yours, because everybody knows logical thinking and being able to make a sound point is a direct correlation of how fast one's car is. El oh El.

LOL you still avoid that when you come across that can bust your ***, you have to make excuses, you can't accept it. Your speech about butt-hurting is funny because the only person butt-hurt is you when a faster car is in the thread and calls you on your ****.

What I was just trying to get him to see was that just because his well sorted car has busted a bunch of poor dudes in some clapped out foxes doesn't mean that all Foxes are... For what I've spent on my 5.0 over the years I could have paid cash for a ZR1...
But yes this car ran 10s @ near 140 mph almost 10 years ago, on DOT tires, 5 speed, full AC and a $10K+ dollar Phoenix Gold and Alpine system... not a race car by any means, didn't even have a damn cage in it. I did DD it for 2 years in that mode till I got a daily too... It was my DD for 4 years before that as well with N/A setups (302, 306, 359, 410CID).
In today's scene it would be deemed middle of the pack (at least the guys I hang with), which is why I bought a REAL motor and am twin turboing it... It has a 12 point cage and a chute now, but it still remains AC and full interior... Wont have a big system in it though, the battery box takes up half the trunk where the amp/subs would go...
The convertible below was my very first car, off the showroom. Has an Aluminum Dart 351 stroker (4.145 bore x 3.25 stroke) with AFR heads, RPM2 manifold and a YSi Vortech... Itll make 1000-1100 at the wheels once we get the Weldon on it, its making mid 6s at only 13 psi right now out of pump.
Pics for the non-believer Camaro driver... Im def not a troll.
Full interior, not so much race car... check out kick panels.
A/C and all.
New setup twin Precision 72s, good for 1950bhp.
Interior now after surgery, still has all the seats and interior in it...
Pic of the other one in garage currently finishing up cleaning it up from being in storage for 5 years... Will do a photoshoot with it once done detailing it

Im having one of the fastest street cars in the country (won a few big money races all over country) setup my **** to pull the wheels on the street... it wont handle as well as it did, BUT **** will get down the street/freeway/track, and that is the main purpose of the car now.
The vert is a GR40, full built Griggs Racing car... torque arm/panhard bar, coil overs, k member, etc...

Car had been apart since 9/07, I was living out of state a while, and have been back, but bought a couple Vettes and spent cash on them that should have gone into the Stang, but live and learn.
