I’m aware that a lot of the guys on this forum are faster than me. I’m aware that I’ll probably lose a lot of races at first. Seems like the plate stirred up a lot of shit though, so it was a success, yes?

Lol. You called it, I had an old field truck that I’d drive around in the woods behind the house. I’m 22, so I guess I’ve been driving stick on the street for 6 years. Shoulda clarified.

This thread is turning out to be pretty entertaining. You guys think I’m an idiot, even though I made my intentions pretty clear from the beginning. Seems like everyone wants to run me just to shut me up now, right? The plate worked better than I thought it would.

Edit: I guess one good thing I got out of this, I know that LZ and 38stang are toolboxes. Everyone else seems to hold back the degrading comments no matter how much of an idiot they think I am.

LOL!! I love the license plate! How long have you had the plate? I’m surprised it was available. You’ll do fine in your races. Get your car setup for the track.

I dont think your an idiot, i just think you are overestimating the capabilities of your car as it presently sits and talking a big act. I guess we will find out soon enough though. As i said, do a roll run, thats where we can really see what it has :tup:

Um… who on here with an **LS1** is going to beat him?

jt76 maybe? psychopjv… does he have a motor? 😛  
studderin would be fun.

wookie - Basically what Bill is saying… and LZ is trying to say, is that taking a low 11 second car down the track isn’t easy. Doing it with a manual transmission… makes it even harder.

Bill is talking from first hand experince… he hasn’t run a single good time at the track yet. :lol: He knows his transmission is keeping him from showing the true potential of his power… but he isn’t running an LS1 anymore.

LZ can’t even drive stick, and I think Jeremy did a better 60’ time in his car than he could… first time out? lol. Automatics can make anyone fast, ask my brother.

Get your car together, call out all the LS1 owners on the board and see how far up the ladder you’ll be at the end of the day.

Went to NYIRP 2 years ago and ran 14.9 @ 96Mph. That’s damn fast for a car that gets 34Mpg! :tup:

And that was with a 2.2 60’ on crappy all-seasons.

wait who are we talking about??? im confuzzzzzed!

I couldnt launch my car worth a dick at NYI last year, 2.0 60’s running 12.0 @ 117-118 on motor with 7.9-8.0 1/8th mile times ☹  
Then i would go to Lancaster, cut a 1.7-1.8 and run 7.6’s @ 93 so who knows… well we later found out that the bottom part of my FAST intake was cracked and i had a decent sized vac leak, so this year, with that fixed and a couple other things, i can only think that it SHOULD move out a little better on motor and SHOULD haul on the 100 shot but for now my goal of a 10.9 is all :blah: :blah:
