Wow, there is some severe trash talking going on between all of you boys. I have a feeling Nasties little Z28 will come around with a little tuning.
In the meantime, I've got a little 5.0 mustang that will embarass any of you slow *** camaro guys whenever you're ready. Let me know the time and date and we will find out who's "fast" and who can talk trash on the internet. I will happily back it up at the Q at the next race. Lets get a list going as to whom I can whip.

Well, like I said in the other thread, generally you don't start talking **** (NSTY) until you have a car that you know is running fast. There is no denying that a any properly built engine properly tuned can put numbers down, be fast, whatever. The point is, if you haven't run it don't run your mouth. Someone called out pretty much every LT1 in San Diego, then goes out and runs shitty. Big deal, maybe he'll get it fixed. Point is, he looks like a dumbass because he ran his 'internet' mouth.

No one is saying it can't be fast. I don't really care, if he runs fast, cool, if he does what he did the other night, thats cool too, cause it gives me amusement.

Is this doug with the dark blue notch? 30 inch slicks and hefty shot of nitrous? Races at the Q all the time? Maybe it was supercharged and not nitrous?

What was your best time down there? Mid-upper 6s last time I saw it.

And there will be some F-bodies to run in the near future. There hasn't been much competition, but there are some up in coming setups. No claims or call outs until we have cars to back up our mouths, but there are some "competitive" setups in the making/test and tune stages.

Aw come on. Let me have a little fun too. Don't tell on me yet .

BTW
The best at the Q is a 5.9 with a 150 jet and maybe a little faster at Barona and Irwindale with a big jet in it.

Bottom 9s/high 5s in the 8th is no joke. I don't think your going to find much of a race out of any SD based LT/LS fbodies. There are some out of northern CA and riverside that are in that range. Definately some Texas and Ohio cars that could give you a run.

Whats your car weigh in at? It's moving!

If so, I used to live down the street from you...

I just talked to him and he said the car is torn down. But i'm sure I could get another car to accomodate if you still want the challenge.
