awww. it wasnt that bad. we were only hitting like 90 or 100 and it was a tad bit longer than an 1/8 becuz there is no way you could trap those kinda mph with wut we had. atleast we werent doing it in the middle of downtown or sumshit. and all those ppl saying IF you had tires or if you raced a longer stretch. you woulda had him. well if i would of had a TTcobra with full suspesion, solid axle slicks etc. i would have beat him. to play you gotta pay. and the thing were i only wanted to race 1/8 is becuz i knew i wouldnt win 1/4 im not dumb. (i dont own a cheby.) ahah jk. its a thing called HUSTLE. but we all can say one thing. Dodges and imports suck. anything can be fast with money. its not like it doesnt grow on trees or sumthing

I must say that that was the worst camera work i've ever seen. That girl couldn't decipher if she was videotaping her feet, or going through an epileptic seizure.

The stang seemed to get off the line pretty good. I think it would be pretty close with him in the 1/4 mile (I don't think you'll beat him that bad). Your vette is clearly faster then your WS6. What does the vette have done to it?

change of mind huh? I remember when you used to like to do it from a roll. I guess since you had sticky tires that is why you wanted to do it from a dig. From a roll you were indeed lacking power. i would like to try the slicks that you were talking about and see how i do then. I would either go like hell or fry my clutch.

you would either break the fragile 10bolt or bog one of the two. you wouldnt fry your clutch cuz it is not the weakest link. but yea i go in a race to win or try to have the best chances too.

Just wondering why you think you know so much about an Fbody when you have never even owned one.

I agree with your point....but let's be fair here....you can know about cars without ever owning one. It's called, knowing people that do have them, being around them all the time, and 'research'.

10 bolts aren't the greatest, but they certainly aren't the worsed.

I guess all i can say is have some ***** and run a 1/4. You used to be a 1/4 mile guy so what happened? Oh wait, I remember now, you always lost.

do you see thompson or cannon running 1/4 mile. i know your asking what that has to do with me and you racing. but we shouldnt be racing on the street. cuz its illegal. so therfore the closest track would be bethany and its only an 1/8 mile. so there yea go.

since when do you care about illegal street racing? I would not reccommend you to go to bethany because because you would not be able to run my class anyway. You would be running with people like John because of your tires. That would be bad for you. You have to run a tire that is something like 150 or higher treadwear to run the street class. Anyway I admit, your traction and my loss of traction is how you beat me but you and i both know your HP was lacking. But if you want to run my vette in the 1/8 that will be fine but you need to come up here where it is safer to run. I guess if you wont then I will know for sure that you ARE scared. You should be. We came down there so it's your turn to come here. Come on man, Be brave.
