I have had a few Vette's over the years, including a GS with a 200 shot. Anyone that knows me, knows how I drive my cars. I beat on them pretty good. It's a damn car, I built it to have fun with, if it breaks I fix it. If you can't afford to pay, you shouldn't even be playing,

With that said, I never had any failures, or any kind, on any of my Vettes. They are a lot stronger than people give them credit for.

Don't be scared, line 'em up, drop the hammer and let's see what happens.

Same thing could be said for Zeek and his complaining about not wanting to run a dig race. Just sayin'

Donnie and I are running one of each cuz he doesnt want to run the V from a dig. The difference is we dont give a shit about who wins/loses. We just enjoy breaking eachothers balls and acting like immature high school kids for a few minutes. Lmao

It's not my fault it took this long for members of the board to run the times I did in 2007. :driver:

Will somebody please ban this fucking guy. For the love of god. Please tell me he is just trolling and not this stupid.


I've got a for sale sign to bring with me tomorrow. That way when you get drug you can go ahead and put that shit box for sale in the parking lot. :fishing1:

My '70 Cuda ran in the 10's too.

In 1980.

I wasn't in the 10's, I'm talking about the big boys. I was running high 7s low 8 s. Boy that was a fun car

Uhh huh. We'll see, Vanilla.

I'm sure it did. It also got 5 miles to the gallon on a good day, no power anything, some stellar drum brakes all the while cruising to your AM radio and 8 track blaring that you might be able to hear over your old school mudding tires. lol.
Did it in a glorified go-kart. Doesn't count.

And exactly what does that have to do with anything? I was simply pointing out that there were fast street cars long before 2007. You, and your expertise on all thing car related, are a constant source of amusement.

Well that's an honest answer. I really expected you to say no. What I was getting at is I think you are very much oversimplifying with some of your statements like saying you could pull him if he traps under 135. First of all if your car has never been down a track you really don't know where you are at all. Second, my own car trapping 126 at the time ran around the middle of the ZR1 pack at the mile, outrunning more of them there than have been able to outrun me. I think the conditions at the mile very much simulate what you guys do on the highways, there's no traction there either, and we can't even run a soft tire.

Well a good friend of mine has had the exact same build as me and he trapped in the 130s so that's what I'm basing my car off of.

Looking at a bone stock ZR1's specs I'd like to say I'd give it a good run. Slight chance to win.

Prepare to be flamed with "not all cars are the same" and other like comments. Just because your buddies car did it, doesn't mean yours will do it. You won't know until you actually do it with yours.

Well seeing as he built my car with the same parts as his and we both dynoed the same (within 5rwhp) before and after mods. I'm pretty sure mine will do the same. I'm not worried about being flamed. Now he's a better driver than me so. Just cuz I can't make the same times don't mean my car can't lol. He's got about 10years more experience than me.

Here we go with this type of bullshit. This site kills me with this. My buddies car ran this so mine should, but he is a better driver so I won't do it but the car can do it. It doesn't matter what the car can do, if you drive like shit you still lose and will still be told your car is slow. The car is only as fast as you so if you suck so does your car. :banghead:

You must have missed that entire argument between me and Steve over that EXACT statement. I agree and see things exactly as you do in regards to that.

Donnie beat me to it. hahah

What do we have to call him a non driving ass hat as well :signs1:

I should be able to get pretty close to what Vic ran. I'm not terrible by any means. I can't wait to get my work schedule changed so I can go out to 190 and hurt some feelings.

Holy fuck you guys are dense. Did anyone see the fucken video I posted? That is Vic's old car. It was built by him, and he also built Zeek's car. They have the same cams, same motor mods, made almost the same power... they are also both fucken 08s!

The difference is Vic had a few hundred lbs out of his, and it was a 1lt which is another 100 lbs or so less. If Zeek had Vic do the same weight mods, the car will run about the same. If one person clones another car and its mods, they will run the about the same. This isnt rival shops from different cities with different weather etc etc... Zeek wont run a mid 10 at 132 with his street tires at full weight, but it will still be gd fast. Id guess a 127 to 128 as it sits... with him driving

I'm dense?

Clearly you have missed all of the chit chats I have had with Steve over this exact subject. I have the exact same view point as you do. If two cars are built with the exact same mods, yes, they should be fairly close, and it will depend on the drive.

Steve himself has stated MANY, MANY time that not all cars are the same. So don't come around giving that bullshit you just spewed when what I stated is the exact shit that is preached here time and time again like a broken record.

Even Donnie's quote says the complete opposite of what you are saying. So if you are going to call me dense, might as well throw the same density his direction.

I'll race anyone from 50-51mph. Just give me the leave. I'm ready to start breaking hearts on 183.

This guy gets it.

Please, everyone knows its not possible to reach those speeds on 183 due to all the illegals driving 45 in the fast lane. Lol

It was a blanket statement... if the shoe fits...

Did you and Steve have the same person do the exact same mods to your car? If not, its not the same as what Im saying... zeek's car is a clone of Vic's silver bullet, the only difference being weight at this point. afaik you and Steve have different mods and different tunes, just similar power. The other difference is Steve can drive great, and he says you cant... Vic is one of the best driver's in dfw I know of, but zeek is no slouch. ive personally raced him 5 times, and he can shift great. You and Steve were also talking about qtr mile racing, there is less involved from a roll... Zeek may not have as good as a launch technique as Vic persay, but Zeek can row the damn gears which is what matters from a roll.

Is that even measureable? ;)

Boooooooooooring

No, no, no. Tonight is going to be fun. Bring your marshmellows because i have a feeling there will be a BBQ tonight in the parking lot when Donnie sets his car on far due to getting drug not to one but TWO of my stock cars in his fully built race car!!

127mph < 135mph...just sayin

This guy is good at math.

:waytogo:

That is correct, so you should have no problems running from a roll so the pos vette doesnt break... when is race?

From now on im only racing when i have the clear advantage. So im calling out Strokd's 86 fox right now. Bring it chump! No motor is no excuse!

I also call out Donnie to a spelling bee.. lol

:sparta:

Yeah, Steve says I can't. He's only seen my GoPro videos at the track, and seen me drive at the track. I have no where near the experience at the track as Steve does, but doesn't mean I can't drive on the street. I've only raced one person in this group on the street, and I'm pretty sure his car had a slight edge over me, being that he didn't beat me by much.

Damn.

Driving is driving, how does location change that?

I suck at launching. Never practiced feathering the clutch and stuff at the truck, and never really done it on the street either. Doesn't mean I can't row gears well enough.

Is launching a car not part of driving?

Not everyday driving.

If I need to sugar coat it for you to make you feel better, instead of saying you suck at driving, how about I just say that you are new to it and still getting the hang of it? :troll3:
