Default Calling out Matt Powell

Matt,

Was hoping to play around with you Friday night but heard you weren't feeling to good...

...I say we line em up in Mexico before I go in and take care of my fuel problem in a few weeks. In other words now that we seem to be on an "even" playing field (200shot) this is an official callout.


As much as I want to and should take out the stereo system (considering the weight that is added to my already gargantuan street z06) you can accept that as a gift to you from me...

IE: I am going to enjoy listening to some Andrea Bocelli @ 5000 watts while seeing you in the rearview struggling to keep up with the hiss and whine of what some have referenced to a "Learjet 60XR".

Conceptualize a Martin Scorsese film with a slow-motion murder scene accompanied with subtle opera music playing in the background.


Bring out the all mighty "Quickest and Fastest all motor 6-speed vette in Texas" and crown yourself a win over the Ghost machine.


Ball your court
G


Thank me later, but I am going to go ahead and let it sink in so it doesnt come as such a shock





looking forward to seeing how your car runs on the street. I know Chris did a hell of a job on the kit

G we are always down! LOL I know Matt wishes he could say the same about the stereo, but eventually he will get on in there. Until then we have to listen to the radio full blast to hear it over the usual FRC road noise LOL!!!

We'll figure out a fair roll. Matt will be on ET-Streets because we can't get a 19" Drag Radial yet (and I told him if he traded for a 18" rear wheel just for drag radials I'd bitch slap him LOL!!)

The rearend of the car looks good, to bad the only view you will be seeing is the dirty rearend of the little black Vette that could
