About damn time! His sig has said "looking for something to buy" for like two years. I'm going to miss that car, but I'm looking forward to seeing it get cleaner and faster in Joe's hands.

The rumors are true....fortunately Micah decided to step "down" (in his mind its down) to an Escalade on 20's for his DD, and he decided to sell me the T/A for a fantastic price! Thanks for the great deal and the great car Micah! It will always be clean and taken care of (and here for you to drive whenever you want)....Thanks for posting the pics, I will take some new ones in the next week or so....Guess its time to update my sig finally....

Joe

Bah.

I like the Escalade, but it's no F-car. I'm trying to figure out how to pull 2000lbs out of it without affecting drivability.

So Joe, order that vigilante yet?

Joe talks down his mods well enough alone. He still wants us to believe he was running 12.0's stock weight with a vig3200 and a cutout. We all know there was a cam in there...

Hmmmmm....well considering Eric Ireland made like 353rwhp with just an ls6 cam and a lid, I'd say if my car made 338rwhp with all the bolt ons and that cam, I had one slow *** LS1 car (that was faster than your 224 cam only car , which is why I think you guys stil give me crap ) I think you guys are just plain (or don't know LS1 cars at all! )....

It was obviously a super top secret ET based cam grind?

338rwhp out of a automatic with minimal mods

Either it was a freak or a low dynoing cam car!
