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.

You have a blower and over 100 rw more than him, you should murder him from a roll.

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.

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

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.

**Zeek** · 03-28-2014, 04:36 AM

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.

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
