Default Thank you H.P.E. !!!!

Me and my wife jut got back from our 650 mile round trip in our car...This car ran flawlessly and i got 24 miles to the gallon[not bad for a 434 making 563rwhp]. I could'nt belive it I told my wife it would get 16-18 mpg, it blew me away when i added it up.i cant belive you can tune a car to get this kind of mileage chuck!!..Overall it was a good weekend and I also had 3 races on the way there and won all 3..thanks goes out to CHUCK,RICK,CAM,ERIC,DAN,AND THE SALES CREW AT H.P.E.AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST MR.BILL!!........

Aren't you personal friends with all those guys? Couldn't you have just called them and told them thanks, instead of using the intercontinental computer highway to nut hug? Gayrod!

See John, this is why you don't say stuff like that. Now you've talked the talk, but can't go out and walk the walk because your transmission is messed up. When will you ever learn? Open mouth, insert foot. That's what they say..

You all ready broke the automatic DAMN IT John you need the driver mod! J/K. Mikey might not have built a vette that make that much power but I have it was built at my house and it has seen a lot of mile. This said any one could build a car that make high hp its on in what you spend and how extreme. This is not talking **** like John said were all friends who just joke around.
Matt
PS: John when are we going to race? hell I still have a 6-speed, 60 roll?
