A little drama never hurt anyone. You guys chill out, and just line up with him. I fully expect to see Rob Valden drag some ***, but it better be on film too. If not, I'll LOL at Rob next time I see him.

Yeah the weekly/bi-weekly callouts are a little much. I get being proud of your car but at then end of the day...if you want a race...go to a race track. You will find folks there that WILL go to Mexico...that WILL roll race also. In for results. I mean you saw the reaction the street outlaws got when they said they were 'kings' right? Sounds like you got what you wanted tho, good luck folks!

BTW, Turbostang if that DFW race happens, count me in for a piece of the action.

You're right about changing the channel. But your threads are like Honey Boo Boo. You know it is rotting your brain and could care less but you just help but love sideshow freaks. Anyway I think your car is amazing. It's just a shame it's own by you. You're acting like a real Kanye. Is it possible to ban someone but not their car? Mods should look into that.

This is quite possibly the harshest insult I have ever heard. Way worse than any curse word.

LMAO. Even I agree that's enough beating. I don't watch videos of street car vs race car but race car vs race car, I am in. It will definitely be one that will be worth watching. There are very few cars that actually run like Kevin's car has the potential to.

From the sideline,
Cody

I would be foolish to think that I'm the king of anything, but I know how to get the party started. I will have tires soon for a dig on the street, but I fully expect someone to bitch about the type of tire I have or that I have traction control. Guess we'll find out soon...

Is there a track down there that knows how to prep for drag radials?

North Star in Denton is always prepped well. I've never had an issue with traction in either of my cars there.

Bowtie, you run on drag radials? What do you have?

RPR in Baytown is hit or miss, but I've had pretty good luck so far. I just got into running the car at the track so it's still a learning curve. I run the MT 275 Pro radial. The car is a full interior 4th gen Camaro street car in my sig. Single turbo air to air.

Mines a single with air to air, 3500# car. I don't drive mine on the street, due to the turbo facing forward and the possibility of sucking up a small kid. It had stock seats, etc...but I recently switched to Kirkeys. It runs on pump gas, E85. Its still a 4 bolt head.

You mentioned that you haven't been to the track much....so your car really runs 5.9's?

Best time so far was a 5.7 in the 1/8th but that was on the old turbo. I'm actually at T-ball practice with my youngest son right now in my car. The only thing that hurt the street driving was the spool, but it's not as bad as I was thinking it was going to be.

That's cool. You definitely drive yours around more than me. If I could put a filter on, I would drive it more.

A few weeks ago, mine went a 5.31. I know anything can happen in racing, but its not worth us racing at the moment. Get some seat time and when your running 5.0's, hit me up.

JWS, if you want me to STFU show up with your car and show me what's up. Until then sit on the sidelines with the other haters and wait for one of your heros to drag me. Before you post something, read this **** 2 or 3 more times.

You'll be the first one I contact once the tires come in. Don't worry, I'll have my wallet.

I have seen that SS at the track a few weeks back running low 9's, ***** quick and a clean setup. Don't know the owner, don't car. Lets just see some fast cars run and be done. I'll be playing catch up in my slowblazer ss.

I'm not bitching about anything, I told you bring that junk to the street and get an *** dragging like a man. Have Delgado tune that sumbitch up, traction control and all and get next to this pile we got. The ball is in your court, we are ready...
