Hey - 2000badbird - don't get the feather's ruffled. I've had bull called on me on this very forum. Just let us know what the secrets are. You say its not like you said
"its not like an out sayin i can beat viper" - thing is a 355 Spyder does the 1/4 in about the same time according to theis web article - http://www.popularmechanics.com/auto...ml?page=15&c=y
Did you make your ride much lighter? How much does it weigh? Here's some reading:
http://www.experience-world-shop.co....roducts_id=454
Now maybe it wasn't one of the newer ones or such. But come on, give some more details about your setup. You said in your original post you've got exahust, program and gears. If you got that and your knocking down 326rwhp.
I went out to http://www.teamwir.com/Car%20Math.htm I compared what you said you had with the theoretic numbers for the Spyder and you guys were about even - with him actually have you by about 2 tenths. But you state you put 2 or 3 lengths on a car that has a top speed of 182mph..... you gotta admit, something seems a little off here ..... right? You got NOS or something hiding in there?

Im from Ohio, we have TurboBlue, it's 106. Not 100. I think you mean 13.6, not 12.6 quarter. If you got him good job, but I figure the odds of someone smart (and rich) enough to have a Spyder to be dumb enough to get provoked into a race by a T/A would be slim. So I doubt he was racing. The look on his face was probally b/c he was wondering why you guys pulled up beside him and were looking and honking at him! LMAO!

Not a single period or anything! I printed this post out, and put it on my fridge. So whenever I feel stupid, I just to the fridge and read this again.
Ohh yeah.. good kill...

Please bring your badbird with some 100 octane, and I'll run you on 275 north anytime you want. I know that area very well. I don't have much done to my car, LOL. Check my sig. You might be able to beat my car. Only been to 200 a few times. LOL
