Odthetruth with the troof.net, im the exact same way. Last time i went to a meet was like 2-3 months ago with my car. The last meet i went to in a friends car with like a month ago, and i posted the video of the run here. I usually don't go out of my way to try and get a ticket or get arrested.

Where did I say it was stock? Where are you even going with that?

All the cars here are good. Didn't know everyone needed to measure their dicks using their cars.

Everyones done what they could, how they could, for whatever type of racing they do. I've probably spent more on suspension because I don't give too much of a **** about the strip. I normally run into whatever I race on the highway, but I don't go out of my way to go to scenes and 'be that guy' that I hope people talk about how great I am of a driver, yada yada. That **** impresses highschool girls, and last I heard... 15'll get you 30.

Me personally, don't really care what someone ETs because I don't go to the track anywhere near as often as I'd even like to. If I do plan on running the V, I take it to a road course and actually drive, vs just shift. Wrong of me to say those who set up their cars and suspensions for drag racing can't drive?

Why is everyone crying about roll racing in here? 75+% of the threads in here end up being roll racing.

If you want to show off your drag racing:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-racing-results-85/

Otherwise, you get whatever you get on the street, and same rules don't apply as the track. Surfaces change, prep vs no prep vs semi prep, etc. Giving lengths, giving someone the hit, giving someone their race... Tires play a big part, but lets be serious. Launching on the street vs launching on a prepped surface is different. Period.
Good post Od.

Man you guys have been givin each other hell in here.

Acquiescence- "Passive assent or agreement without protest."

I believe the word you are looking for is "acquaintance."

Few pages back, you basically stated how the lowly 4.6l would drag Adam on the track. But lets be serious, you're modded to the teeth in comparison to Adam's LS1.

You think its hilarious that I pointed out there's a drag racing section on this forum? I think its hilarious you've got a thread with a few pages from a post that shouldn't even be in this section. This doesn't look like a street race or kill at all.

Maybe I'm missing it here... but from your first post... looks like your 7.x hero run was 1 of 3 or more, in which 2 of them were you missing gears? Cutting a 9.x? Odds are, Best 2 out of 3... Adam might win. LOL

Give stopsign a break, he is obviously not thinking clearly these days. He believes that a STOCK Mach 1 should beat bolt-on LS1 F-bodies.

I left him a link to the drag section too...lol

There is no doubt in my mind that if Adam's car is and Stoppys car are 100% Adam's car would win with both on comparable tires in the 1/4. I know what my car did with similar mods and I did not need a 5-6k clutch dump or even a dr to run a 12.6 @ 4-5 mph more than Stoppy.

With that said I think stoppy's car runs good for a n/a Mach. He does what he needs to do with it....utilize the track.

Yep, welcome to LS1tech where everyone roll races, auto's are ghey and removing your rear seats means you have a "racecar"

Sticks impress highschool kids, stalled autos win races

No offense, but this posts sounds biased as hell. Typical comment I would expect from a Gen1 V owner who knows their car is at a SERIOUS disadvantage at the drag strip.

That's why I love owning a vehicle that will get it done in any scenario, rather it be drag strip, road course, street..whatever! Best of everything.

1500Rw malibu that runs around in Tampa... John is the owner.

Again, I know nothing about the scene down there.
7 mile bridge pretty much has someone willing to run every time you cross it. Waxed a new Z06 BADLY there from 80(lol wtf)-~150, with their top down and his GF in the passenger seat LOL. Was on the bike, with GF on the back. Dude was pacing along side gassing/letting off with a cheesy *** smirk and my GF actually told me to go for it!

He kept flying though and 2 minutes later getting off the bridge saw him pulled over by a cop with his girl head down texting on her phone. I was lmao.

Hero run? Not quite...without the suspension parts on worn out ET Streets I still pulled a high 7 in the 1/8. I ran 3 times, all 3 times are posted, and the other 2 were aborted. So if Adam was to run me that day when I aborted yea he would have won. However I still coulda got it back into gear and outran him. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Your a moron. Do you have anything better to do than act like a pompas *****? So why don't don't you explain to us how a idiot such as yourself can afford a Zr1?? If you can do that job I'm sure anyone on this site could. Now get off my dickface.
