Okay. I've seen his car personally on base, I didn't see any nitrous lines or any bottle(s) or brackets. Unless he has installed a nitrous system recently, I mean RECENTLY. I know his car is ALL motor. BTW, you're talking about a guy who thinks pretty much NITROUS is CHEATING. Unless he changed his mind... lately.
ALSO, for the record, I'm local... I'm not from here but I live here.

Considering equal traction (which i know randy didn't have traction) the only place you would have an advantage is out of the hole. Your car weighs more, is an auto (which is better for drag racing only because of the holeshot, lets not get into that arguement) and MAYBE makes the same amount of power at the motor.....I'd bet damn near anything your car WILL NOT run down a stock C6 ZO6 on the big end (that is what you're claiming after all right?)
Bottom line....the only reason you even half *** have a chance against a C6Z is because randy has to baby his car through first and second to even think about getting traction. Don't go getting a big head because you run with a car that can't hook up.

Posting this up as a general kill story..that and one of my personal goals was to eat up one of these cars..
1995 Camaro Z28:
Home-built 402 LSX/L92 Iron Block Stroker Conversion, ALL MOTOR
Comp Custom Grind, SS3600 Stall, 3.73's, Tuned
Many other supporting Mods..![Devil](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_devil.gif)
2007 Corvette Z06: Factory Stock
It was myself and one of the guys from the local area who has one..and there was no driver error on both ends, both Cars were fit ready to run, and driven good.
We lined up, flagger signaled, the Vette got the jump and left out by half a car at first, I reeled him in by the end of first gear, started to pull in second, and walked away in third. I shut down a little past the 1/4 mile mark about 2 car-lengths in front at about 135mph..that is the speed I was at, the people watching told me the rest.![Driving](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_driving3.gif)
Those Cars are beasts for a Factory Car, no question about that..![Nod](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_nod.gif)
The Camaro just has a little more punch in it though..![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
I had an agreement not to post this, but the word got around, and I heard a little rumor accusing me of running N20, so I figured I would let the rest of the peeps here say otherwise about a built H/C 402 with the supporting mods other than the "He has N20" bullshit..![Rolleyes](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/rolleyes.gif)

I haven't always got along with Merv, but I am local and I'd bet any one of you a lot of money that he doesn't have nitrous. Anyone who knows the guy knows that he is the Anti-Christ of nitrous. He abhors it....a little too much IMO. It's a means of accomplishing the end goal to me. If you want to use, more power to you.
That being said, Merv doesn't use it at all. People need to admit that he has a fast car. Whether the engine and tranny will last or not is another story. I see the rear end and tranny going down the drain soon....but Merv knows that's the price of power. He'll upgrade when he needs to. I know C6 Z's are insane, but so is Merv's car. A win is a win whether it's a fender or a mile. Props to you Merv.

MERV....A win is a win, but at least be honest about it. tell the whole story. (Other guy had a Passenger). For someone who said they wouldn't post this story you did a great job being so descriptive. If you tell someone you're not gonna run your mouth about them then don't. Eventually you're gonna meet up with the wrong guy and he's gonna slap the **** out of you. All I've ever seen of you on here, is you being bitched at because you run mouth so much. Venemous has a great point. Why is it that the only people who give you props are people from out of state. Chances are It's because everyone around here knows you're nothing but a joke!You don't personally know me but it has effected directly. You made me look like an *** on the day I set up a dyno day at POLK PERFORMANCE. Just a few days before you managed to run your fat *** mouth so much that only 6 our of about 20 people that said they were gonna show up actually did.

If youre not gonna tell the whole story then your stories should read like this...
I beat a stock C6 Z06......
I beat a stock 5.0........
Dude, give up the whole idea of wanting everyone in the forums to think you're the ****.
Get a girl friend to stroke your ego...or find some homeless homo on LR to do it.. just STFU!

N20, much less the night I ran him. Besides, I'm not trying to argue with you. I don't care if he has it or not, but that's what I was told.

To the guys that know me..it's not worth it..trust me. I appreciate it..but this childish **** is gettin old..people's ego's are starting to get hurt here..
Yea, the car would be sick with some Spray, but I don't want it.
Randy..who ever told you that I have spray..you know the anwer as well as I do..you just got beat by the one and only Merv..**** happens, life goes on..
As far as traction..I have said bring that Corvette out to Memphis and lets play on the Track..but yea that's not happenin..lol
Regardless of traction or not, Run what you Brung, and I brought something that ate that red-lighting(as in jumping the gun) Corvette...I didn't mention that part, but I will now say that you red-lighted and I still caught it before 2nd gear.
I do love how you talked it up before the race and kept on driving when we all pulled over to talk about it..
I'm done with this crap..next goal it my 10sec Time Slip, I'm sure that will happen to..
Funny how one of the fastest cars around is a beat up Camaro with a Hand-built Engine by a 23 yr old guy.. and with not a whole lot in it..![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
He is one of my guys from the Base Randy..see people come out with the Truth when it's needed..you got some bad info.

Well, I have to say that I know not many people gave Mervs car a snowballs chance in hell of running worth a **** from the get go. Randy, I do not know you, nor am I trying to start ****. I tuned the Mervs car, the car is on 31* of timing, 13.0 AFR.....he does not have nitrous on the car. People are really not being open minded on this one, A Z06 is quick but a motor with about 50 more rwhp and as light as it is, proved that it was quicker. No biggie, hell who cares. If Merv would have lost, everyone would have been posting laughing and ****, so he posted and everyone is jumping his ****. Merv get some juice for your car, and come back for a re-tune. If you are being accused, you might as well be guilty right?????

And yes, I see his car all the time. I see it frequently at the hobby shop on base when he's working on it. I've been under it, in it and all around it and I can say without a doubt that his car has never seen a bottle. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble. It is what it is.

I admit we all have our good days as well as our bad and I want a rematch friday night. We'll meet and discuss the time and place. Also, by you trying to make your age sound like you've accomplished something big doesn't mean **** to me! Hell, I had accomplished more at 23 than you will in your entire life!
