...talking **** is fine
Just back it up with something you can drag out when its game time.
Everyone on here can say I have this car I am "working on" that is going to run 8's in the 1320... and continue to think they are king of the hill.
Hell I am planning on building an LSX motor on gas in a little ol' LX for all those who want to go from a dig.
Should be done middle of next year.
408 Ironblock
Big shot of gas
Power glide
All the goodies to make a great 1/4 car.
And this is the best one...
I was 15 without a drivers lis. 
...How old are you?
Considering I am building this car for street racing IE: low roll racing
This car will vaguely see the track.
But since you did bring it up
- I do plan on making some good runs in street form to see how she does.
It could very well run a 11 sec pass @ a high mph.
But on the way home I will enjoy pulling from modified bikes that are running 9's in the 1/4...
(Again I will have an LX car for drags and the vette to do any highway bombs).
Trying to cover both playing fields "so to say".
10.40's @ 142 with a car that was "street" legal and I say that lightly.
Impressive no question in 1996.
J. Salvaggio's car is a daily driven cam/nitrous car that still gets 25 miles to the gallon has A/C which will freeze an Eskimo's nuts off and has a radio that would make Jimmy Hendrix proud.
Did I fail to mention his car is very capable of running your times "or better" with more seat time....
...Again welcome to 2006
As for the supra's you were talking **** on..
Duy - 9sec car driven on HPD cruises for 100's of miles.
Ross - 8sec car street driven
Kareem - 9sec car with 160,000 miles on it. Still has the stock tranny and rear-end.
Tommy Banh - Broke the Texas mile record in his supra. 200+mph
...want me to keep going?
I by no means want to come off as some hot shot
My car makes good power but I cant drive the damn thing on the track worth a ****.
I have tried quite a few times and cant get traction and cant launch it without spinning.
There is a solution
- Tires
- Susp.
- Rearend
- Weight reduction
- More track time
The question is do I want to do all of that? Answer is No
I enjoy it for what its ment to be.
The main difference is I don't get on here talking **** to people when I have a Avalanche sitting in my garage.

P.S. Nineball, I am building a car and it will be ready in the beginning of December. Would you like to do something at the track? Yes...It is a race car..

And watch what? Some supras run some 10's which make over 1000 HP? Stock ZO6 Vettes run some 12's?
I guess nobody here really races anymore?
Keep the pictures coming then. I forget what a Camaro looks like sometimes...

I don't think I was clear enough in my post. Does anyone race AGAINST anyone else? There is a big difference between "making a pass" and actually racing against someone for some $$.
Seems to me that whoever produces the best dyno number or takes the nicest photo of their car is king on this site.
As for 1996, where were you? I don't recall too many nights when anyone with an LT1 would challenge me. Maybe my car was well before it's time.
...How old are you?
Now it's time to put up some times or shut up...I ran 10.40's on street tires back in 1995 to be exact at 142mph with an LT1! LOL! What is your best time?

[QUOTE=G-Z06] OK Garrett. You win. You have the longest post and it seems to me that you are a little upset. I'll tell you what, why don't you and I race when my car is done and I'll post up all kinds of pretty little pictures of it as it comes together... just like you did when you car was getting worked on.
The REAL difference between you and me is that YOU WON'T RACE!
Age has no speed.

Age has no speed. I just get a kick out of the "**** talkers"
It is all in fun and you should know that.
- Just playing the devils advocate when it came to you posting up what you have posted lately.
Please do, this is a techincal site. IE: LS1TECH
I like to keep everyone in the loop on the pro's and con's of the cars I build up.
Nick I have won some and lost more.
- I drove to SAR when I was called out by a mustang
Broke my ******* car and still give props to a guy who showed up and ran.
I am by no means the best driver in the world nor do I have the fastest car.
- But you want to setup a race against me and I will be there.
In the mean time I look forward to seeing this "car" when its all said in done.

I will stick to building motors and **** because building a car is just still way to expensive for my blood. Especially when mine does not have any axles under it and a 408 between in between the frame rails LOL

G didnt build his vette' to be a quarter mile drag car, its a all out street car. As mentioned in his earlier posts, he is building a dedicated drag car.
