Great challenge! Is this that guy with the 4x4 2000hp Focus that beat a Camaro in the mud pit?

i think someone in here said he had a 347 with a charger. or maybe just a built 347..

i tried to get my boy to race him (it's just a 305.. I swear... ) but he ended up blowing his 2nd 12-bolt rear end just after all the rain stopped a few months ago. He's going ford 9 inch this time

I'd race if the nova was running. I don't think he'd give my daily driver much of a chance if he really has a 347/blower setup.

My car is not blown. My original and current challenge is to run from a dead stop 1/4 mile.

come to chicago....... it'll be at the track if you're interested.


EDIT:i just saw you're from the bay area, but since you told us all to "nut up", how bout you find yourself a trailor, a truck and some coffee. I'm sure you could do it since you're such a tough guy.

Careful............he said he's not blown. He never said he had no gas. Then again your v6 may be a GN.

hmm i read wrong then.

built 306, n20, suspension..

It's probably a 12 sec car off the gas, probably hooks well if he can drive (who knows).. wonder what shot he has. If it's forged with a 200+ shot I'd bet it's pretty damn quick.

Cool. Sounds like you live close enough to him. He's done enough talking, let's see if he accepts. Remember to video the race.
