but even though you are 1,200 miles apart, maybe meltdown's friend wouldn't mind taking a road trip, that is if time and money allow it to happen.
I'd sure love to see that.

there is such a thing as class rules. that vid was taken 3yrs ago at race weight...and a 632 big block camaro with tubs and big tires makes it alot easier to move a 3400lb "street" car than true street cars with under 400ci, stock suspension/wheelwells, and true 10in tires. [/QUOTE]He is...and they are. [/QUOTE]
10's is slow to a guy with only a 620hp Cobra
[/QUOTE]
I'm still waiting to see the REAL car. I see a car that will lose against
every other car in it's class.[/QUOTE]
lol...who won on the 200mph vid?

This thread is full of folks with tens of thousands of dollars to toss around talking ****....kinda weak....
10 second cars are not slow, and yet I agree, they don't need to be trailered...c'mon now.
Time for a lock, like most overdone threads here. 5+ pages=nothing worth reading here.

and also, in this city, you don't want to be driving cars that are loud as hell. it was trailored to a place where no cops go, and driven through the outskirts.
that is the reason these cars were trailored.

Well, if my engine crew is right, mine should be in the high 8's while still wearing plates. We are, however, treading on the edge of legal here. I ain't drivin' this thing that far to the track. One hour? Yeah, I'd do that.

I find that kind of funny...sorry. At least he called them out and actually raced though. Most of the typical "trolls" wont actually race.
