you guys seem to be full of yourselves. Everyone else on here can post any kill they want in any car they drive but yet I post a kill in my car and no one believes me and or makes fun of my car. You guys are really nice.

Buffman, you don't change the way your sig reads just because someone makes a funny comment. Who cares, man? That's mad insecurity.

People are just playing with you, anyway. You opened yourself up when you posted your kill without even telling us what you drive. Then, when you tell us afterward, the spotlight was on your car.

BTW, good kill.

You trapped 95 with your mods. I trapped 100 with a catback in bad air.

I call bullsh*t on you walking him that hard, unless he either A. Wasn't racing, B. Totally wrong gear in a 6-speed car, C. something was WRONG with his car.

He should have smoked you.

buffman is an assclown. He posts this kill story which we can't even put into context b/c doesn't tell us anything about his car, than finally just says its a 4300lb Gm sedan what more do you need to know

PS- Yeah I also have a hard time believing the kill story too.

You're awfully arrogant for a guy that isn't even trapping triple digits yet.

FWIW, I'd rather trap 115mph in a 2-seater than 95mph in a sedan. I thought that was pretty much common sense?

Nice kill.

Hmm so right off the line going 5mph he's going to be in the wrong gear already?
trapped 95??? Can you read that says 97. I've trapped 97mph going slower infact almost a full second slower.. Like I said that slip I posted was w/ me manually shifting the car no where near where my shift points are. I'm prolly loosing some up top because w/ 150k on the clock my stock fuel pump isn't keeping up. The Weather was decent that night but the dew point and humidity were still very high.

I'm not trying to be arrogant or cocky at all. I guess I figured most of you knew what car I had since I'm usually in the LT1 section daily and I've mentioned that I don't have an F-body.

I posted my mods and my timeslip, you want me to post more timeslips from that night to prove that I'm not Bsing?

What's so hard to comprehend? A lot of stock LT1 F-bodies around here run mid to low 14s stock. I didnt' say he had any mods because he prolly didn't. It was some late to early 30s guy.

Here was my last visit to the track, when I was still running the nitto DR (notice the 60ft times)



Here are two slips that were from the same night as the first one. Like I said I was manually shifting my Auto because of a tuning problem and was no where near any of my shift points.



I guess if you guys don't believe me I'll have someone shoot a video next time at the track.

Good kill. I believe it. There are some LT1 f-bodies that have a hard time hitting a 14.4 stock. With the right bolt ons, you can even get an Impy SS into the 13's with the stock gears and converter. If anything, buffman's car may be a tick slow for his mods probably because of a weak fuel pump.
