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.

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.

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.

Every day driving is not racing. By your logic my grandma can win a NHRA Championship because she can drive a stick.

Never made those claims. Just saying that not all driving is the same. Driving at the drag strip is not driving on the street. So therefore all driving is not the same.

Careful, someone will run with that and the next thing you know the comments are from someone you don't even know that your g'ma is an NHRA champ and she bought the car for you or some crazy shit. Seriously. I just found mention of myself on some Boss forum tonight, and some chump there who I don't even know was telling people my car has an SCJ engine in it.

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?

Fixed it. This I will admit to. I can drive fine on the street. Track is a different story.
