How so? Please explain.

Slicks this, DRs that.

Bottom line is Jeff can't beat Will's Viper(stop, roll, track, street), spray or not, slicks or not.

There, continue the pointless benchracing.

There is zero reason why his car won't out run mine.

There are plenty, but I'm on a Mustang site and not going to get banned. We both know why.

If he dropped the car at Vic's house, it lost about 500 lbs AND Vic drove it on all it has, You might lose.

His car, at the current weight with the nitrous armed will out run my car.

Will HE do it? Who knows, but I'm willing to get beat. Hell, I run anyone honestly.

No stress release in the tires put too much stress on the driveline. You'd need much stronger, and likely heavier spline axles to handle the torsional stress increase, not to mention stronger gearing, obviously a stronger DS as well as better connections between everything. having a much stronger clutch wouldn't hurt either.

Will even said pretty much what I did. Is he wrong too? Or since he has more experience than I do his version is correct, and I'm still wrong?

Seriously, calm down. You're too busy trying to argue being defensive rather than having a conversation. Go take a break and come back.

Again, so I'm not allowed to explain myself? Wow, that's awesome. I'm simply explaining my reason. Didn't realize this site turned socialist and now you just have to accept when someone else tells you you're wrong even when you're not.

I'm having a perfect conversation with other people, but you nit pick at every little fucking thing. I know you like playing the roll of the big bad troll on here, but give it a rest sometimes. Conversation might go a little better if you did.

I'm not trolling at all here. You're just having your usual kneejerk girly reaction. You've been poking and prodding at me the last week and I haven't said anything to it cuz you over react like a chick. I disagree wih you here and you got your panties all up in a twist...again. Fine, you explained your "miswording". Let it go.

So, again, when are we meeting up to race so I can see you in action?

You stated I was wrong...when I wasn't. But you have yet to acknowledge that. I was done explaining the "miswording." You forget you asked me to explain why he needed to upgrade his driveline? Old age can do that to your memory I hear.

If I was having a girly reaction I would be summoning someone else to do all the talking. I'm handling my own business. You seem to think I'm going ballistic here on my side of the computer. I would be typing IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS SO YOU THINK I'M YELLING, if I was going ballistic. Emotion is kind of hard to convey through text. What you don't know if I'm perfectly composed. Come on over to Haltom City and find out.

As for the race, my dad is coming into town this weekend for a CHL class, and with Stephanie's birthday next weekend, doubt I'll be free. I should be up in that general area the weekend of the 14th if you want to go at it. I'm going to try and come out to Coit that Friday. I've had to seriously cut down on my driving however because finances have been running lower since my Vegas fun is coming around on the credit cards now...
