Exclamation Got hustled by sleeper H/C LS1

Damn, He ran a stock muffler on a 99 Z28 like mine and I swear it sounded stock. It had a fishy tone, but I didn't even see it coming. He was on a 325/50/15 BFG (TONKA) tire on drag lites. I was on a 17" ET Street, I know.

We line up and he thought he'd roll me out of the hole, but I actually put a car and a half on him out of the hole. He then caught up to me halfway down and kept feathering it to make it seem close. Dick! I thought he was spraying, but turns out he's on a small cam and ported heads.

I run 11.8s on boltons with chrome ZR1s and would've won if he WAS on boltons like he said. The word is he runs 11.2s.

$100, but hey I have to give him props on the stealth setup.

I just ordered a G5X3, 90mm LSX setup, mounted my new D10 Bogarts with M&H cheater slicks, and took out both bumper supports. We'll see what happens in a few weeks.

Sucks to lose money but, at least you kept things honorable. Nice death. Get him with the new mods.

Sucks to lose money. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.

All in street racing is fair...there is no such thing as "hustled", either you win or loose...period. If someone wants to race for $$$, always asume the car is fast. Just make sure yours is fast and doesn't look to fast.

Yeah, sleepers are cool if you're out to make money, but it just takes one pissed off loser to pull a gun or some **** out. I usually don't race for money, but this was just for entertainment. My friends put up the $$$.

A small cam and ported heads and he runs 11.2's?

Anyway, sorry to hear about the loss. At least you lost to a fellow LS1.

What do think is F&F about my response???

I race for money whenever possible, and don't even have a turbohondaneonfartpipe car!

I have been racing for money since 1990, won the vast majority, lost a couple...I will tell people whatever it takes to race them for money, usually tell them my car is much faster than it is to make them think I am an idiot, seems to work the best.

"It doesnt matter if you win by an inch....or a mile.....a wins a wins." -Vin Diesel The Fast and The Furious I just reminded me of that .............................

It was just a stupid comment i made......i know exactly what ur saying though besides the point.

Draglites = in my book. Even if a GTP had them on, I would think he had a HEMI with N2O and a Blower with a jet engine tied to the back. In other words.... IM LAUNCHING ON HIS AZZ... JUST LIKE HE WAS A FULL BLOWN DRAGSTER...
