He's just your typical Chevy newbie that knows nothing about Fords and assumes they all suck. He probably also thinks nobody can be on this board unless they own a Chevy or bow down to them. Just another narrow minded individual in a sea of them.

 

for your info i owned and modded the **** out of 5 mustangs before i bought the z-28.the last one being a 93 cobra with a bottle fed and supercharged,among a big list of other things,351 cleveland.mid to high 9's in this car was a common occurance.dont just assume since i am new to the f-body thing i dont know anything about cars.big mistake junior.i sold my mustang,what was left of it,in 1998 after smacking a divider wall a the strip doin about 120.did not own another fast car until i bought the z in oct. of last year.just thought a little insight as to what kind of person you are talking about might tone down that arrogance a little.

 

I was talking about Tobin, not you.

 

sorry about that guy.seems like a lot of crap over a stupid race.i do apoligize.

 

 

That guy was stupid, you did the right thing by not giving him the money.

Heres how you cheat with nitrous: have a bottle in the trunk and all the underhood equipment visible.(not a hole kit,Silinoids (sp) bottle, nozzle) When racing someone, ask them if they want you to run all motor. (they will prolly say yes) You go to the trunk and disconnect the bottle with them waching.

Now you have another kit , thats hidden. That isnt visible ANY WHERE, you activate that kit and use it in the race, no one will think you used spray because you just disconnected your bottle!

 

Somewhere on this board I think I've heard of someone doing this. He had his other bottle mounted in the nose of the car if I remember right. The hidden bottle was the only one that worked if my memory serves me right. Pretty clever if you ask me.

 

So you are at Tyndall? My brother in law is there as well.

 

Hey Prohunter did you tell the guy you wanted to know all his mods befor the race or did you just assume because you told him yours he would tell you his.The way it sounds to me is you thought you had some easy money,but when things didn't go as planned you found a convenient exscuse not to pay.I've raced alot of people at the track and on the street and i've never had an opponent tell me all the mods on his car.Maybe you shouldn't make bets if your not going to pay up when you loose.

 

When you street race for $$$ you should always have a mutually trusted third party hold the money. This person has the sole discretion to call the race. There are three possible outcomes, A wins, B wins, or a "no contest". This is the best way to avoid violence or hard feelings. Weapons and street racing don't mix, BTW. They are a "no-no".

Many, many years ago I was often the referee for street races, as I was known to be pretty objective. In this case, it depends on exactly what was said, what the conditions of the race were. But once both parties agree to race, unless there was some specific mutually agreed rule that was broken, the winner gets the money. Break an agreed rule and the "loser" wins and takes the cash.

Steve,

Your only part right. I actually grew up in a "Family of Fine Cars". I can still remember having the keys in my pocket. Putting three engines in my T-Bird, fixing that damn leak in the front seal of my AOD, changing out the rearend and reinforcing my trailing arm mounts on the body so I dont' rip them off again....Almost like it was yesterday. I used to hate chevy's back then, I thought nothin was better then a Ford, nothing, til I bought a chevy. I was the first in my family to get a damn chevy and everybody, friends and family alike, harrassed the h*ll out of me for it. Until they bought Chevy's too.

Now-a-days I do like my chevys. they treat me good. I admit they put out some sh*t. (corsica, celebrity, citation, the list goes on) to which I am embarrased to be affiliated with, but my chevys have never left me on the side of the road, except when I got in that head-on accident a few years back, but I don't consider that the manufacturer's fault.

Now I am fairly open minded about all the vehicle maufacturers. I would own a dodge as long as it is a diesel, the tranny was freshly rebuild, and the axles had been replaced. I would even own a ford as long as it was a diesel powerstroke truck. I think Ford makes an awesome diesel and I wish my Chevy's never would have lost that Catapillar diesel contract cause their Isuzu diesel sux. I just choose to buy chevy gassers cause thats what I can afford.

Even now, my father still believes in the power of a ford. He still has this 90 F250 4x4 that he will love forever. 90K on the clock and only three engines, a driveshaft, and a butt load of exhaust manifolds (common problem for that model year) later! My POS 95 Chev K1500 with 175K is on the stock everything. eng, tranny, clutch, etc, etc. So I just don't understand why my father loves that F250 truck so much, I mean, all his other vehicles are Cadillacs, suburban, even his Ford bucket-T has a chev 283 in it........maybe I will never understand, but as long as he is happy, I don't care.
Tell you the truth, drive what you want, I really don't care what anybody drives. All I try to do is turn the light on to others of what good luck I have had and seen with my chevys.
There are lemons in every manufacturer, I believe that. I have heard stories of bad chevys, fortunately for me, I have not found one yet, is possible though. Could happen. I mean, even the sun shines on a dog's a$$ every now and again. Just the sun has not been on my dog's *** for a while. ('bout 10 years or so)

My experiment has kept me clean for 10 years now. I say kept me clean cause I only turn the wrenches when I want to, (upgrades) not when I have to. I like that.

To everybody out there, enjoy what you have and run what ya brung!!

You lost. You should have paid.

In street racing you always assume the other party has something sneaky.

So I guess you only race people that you know you can beat...what fun is that.

That is why I only race for $20 at a time...no one is going to be a non-paying sore loser over $20. A $100, people might get nasty over.

 

WTF??? I could care less about the gun...I would get my permit and carry a glock if I was home in LA......dropping 10K+ into a civic can make for an easy target.....lots of thieves in LA

Perhaps you meant to send your reply to someone else?

 

So by your logic I can say the letters "all I have is the basic IHE" which to most guys is Intake Header Exhaust and run you with Individual throttle bodies, Headwork and a custom built equal length longtube header and full exhaust

Same thing right...IHE

People say Intake, header, exhaust, gears, pullies.....if they are hiding a 150 shot then the race they locked up was OFF the spray

Now sure you could 'run whatcha brung and just not even say a single mod.....but when both parties and running a honest race to compare future races to.....leaving out the 150 shot part is dickless...end of story....that is if your a man

 

There's no such thing as cheating. It's none of your damn business what's under his hood. It's your stupid fault for putting up money and not being ready to lose.
