you talk a lot of **** for a guy driving a bunch of old clapped out junk... you couldn't drop the kind of cash to build a car like this post is about, BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE IT, get of the dude's nuts, your jealousy is starting to stink the place up.

I lurk around from time to time.
2008 Shelby like the one in my sig but not the same car. This one has head work and custom grind cams e85 and a few other goodies. Actually I just got her back home today, it's been a long build and still not done. I'm going to do an auto conversion this fall.

You know that long builds are never finished. It's always something.

I went single digits on my "baby" blower so had to purchase a big boy blower to now see what I can do. I am sure more parts will break along the way

I appreciate the work others do to their cars and could find something to dislike on any of them if I wanted. Maybe you should find something you do like about this mans build and focus on that and it would take your mind off how slow your car is !
Nope. I don't go to ford forums and talk about my LS swapped mustang.

It is a Chevy forum, not sure why anyone would expect anything less? I don't give a **** about how slow my car may be or how fast it will be. I'm 32 and don't have anything to prove. Bastard mustang will run 9s on a **** 150 shot with a 200k mile truck engine. Some are impressed and others hate the fact I have a LS in it, who cares? Didn't build it for anyone but me.

And I like the thing looking like **** dragging ***. Was the whole point.

I have 6 vehicles. If I wanted to build something to set the world on fire, it would be pretty easy to sell 3 of the cars and invest in to one. But I like my array of fun street cars. And the best part is dragging *** in my clapped out mustang with **** for money invested.

You don't have to like it. You can refer to the previous post before this one for more insight. Until then, I'll keep talking **** on a GM site about ford swapped anything, GEN II Chevy engines and anything else I feel like because it is how I am. I'm not here to be a support member for crap that I disagree with.

You girls really should not let my or anyone else's opinion bother you. It is an opinion and that is that. If we all agreed on everything, I would not even post except technical info. Leave the feelings for race to fave encounters when someone threatens you or disrespects your family or you directly.

You talk about disrespect after you call someone a retard for commenting on your race video. I won't try to insult you because of how much money you do or don't have because I don't give a **** but your response doesn't make much sense.

It is disrespect to call someone a retard to you, by me and many others. Just means slow. That was for a comment on YouTube. Gotta be retarded to assume all videos you see are a car running all out. Sorry my opinion bothers you do Cody.

I beg to differ, the car was built by NRC Motorsports and is a work of art. http://nrcmotorsports.com/

I call everything a pile of crap just to stir ****. It works well. There is quality work in the car beyon a doubt, but I always say things to troll people. It is way too easy I must say. The simple answer is that the car is far from conventional.

It was because they all came in their pants simultaneously. Hahaha
I don't care who makes it or how many cylinders it has, as long as it sounds great. Next I want to see a Lamborghini V10 or V12 swap. Too bad the engine itself would cost you around $30-40,000 alone.

What the hell was the issue? The MSD ignitions we use on carbs have been seemingly on a slope in quality for some of my carbed members.
