Nobody gives a **** about your hero story. Tell us about your own car, maybe it will impress us even more?

If any of this stuff impresses anyone, you should get a life. There just cars. I highly dought that either car has a poorly built motor. Power adders serve a purpose even if you don't think so. Doing more with less does make things more fun in my opinion but there are a million variables you can add in when speaking of a guy you know. Both of these cars have been faster and I am sure will go much faster in the future.

There was head wind, but it had very little effect. It was hot, but generally speaking it was a good event. Seems like everyone had a good time. I'll be going back for sure.

It's obvious a lot of you have never owned a fast car. Problems happens and mostly at the wrong time.

It's obviously Kevin's car laid over... Flash would have had to run a high 7 second pass to come around Kevin that hard if Kevin would have ran and 8.999.

Sucks both cars were not running their best. The rematch should be a very good one.

At least these two guys are down to race and don't make up some lame *** excuses why they won't run, like someone else we all know. I have a lot of respect for both of these guys.

I've not looking to impress anyone or prove anything. My sig has all the info you need on my Firebird. I also have 2 Corvettes but they are slow and I intend to keep them that way. All these cars are paid for.

Tell your hero to fill up with pump gas and drive his **** to Sonic and get back with us with the results. When comparing cars, compare apples to apples. Carry on....
