Nickz28...is the new STS

I dont know you, but I have to say its hard to respect someone that makes a callout thread to another person, constantly disrespects him and his car, and even continues after he said no due to his clutch. With enough NO2 Im sure you could take him even if his clutch was right, but bragging about beating a turbo car with a known clutch issue especially with NO2 is not really all that impressive. What do you have to prove? I dont see how you can disrespect a turbo car, but then somehow expect your slightly modded car to get respect. Just because you beat him on your own terms is not enough. Speed can always be done cheaper, but doesn't really mean anything. Some people prefer another setup, and its thier money, so who cares if $1000 beat $3000? Hell, if thats what you think makes a better setup, then I'll be glad to show you 2 of my race bikes that I have less than $6000 in and are easily capable of 9's and 190++.
One other thing I noticed, is that earlier you stated that HP isn't everything, which is true. So why all of the sudden is a stall and gears not part of the equation?
Either way, your car is fast and seems to be a good sleeper. If an F-body can even be considered a sleeper.

So if people wanna get there britches in a wad thats cool, but if they wanna just laugh and get along Outside the car world, thats even better.. Most of the people that are bitching have never hung out with me or dont know me personally, I think im pretty easy to get along with..
Nick just hasn't talked much smack to me, I guess due to my cobra walking his old "racecar" so many times....
For the STS guys, the rear turbo is more for the sound, not performance...
id rather have supercharger or nitrous, or a mixture of both, why, no lag and no bs with turbo. the point is the amount of money your investing into that STS compared to cheaper and faster parts, which is also the difference in an import compared to muscle, we use high quality fast proven parts, they throw some **** on that will get someones attention or looks cool (well to them newayz) but in reality it is slower than building your car the smart way, with research.

If you have fast ****, you have fast ****.. Callouts, talking ****, etc is all part of the fun.. otherwise racing is pointless and boring..
