Well, since i can't post on the "other" board... 
You know how excited I am for you Tiago, and believe it or not it's way more than I am for us to start my setup. You worked so dang hard for this and you deserve every bit of glory for it.
Tiago

Like everyone said tiago, you do deserve this congrads,
mustangeater why do you make claims like the ones you do? I think tiagos car is hella fast and im not taking anything at all away from him, but you say he has the fastest non juiced fbody, you must be forgetting stefan he has a blower i bet his times are hella fast, and there are several others with blown 3.8 and turbo 3.8 that just havent submitted slips yet, And im quite positive there are guys with blown 3.8 that dont even belong to fbv6.com that have fast cars, you act as if someones time isnt on the timeslips page then they dont run a good 1/4, that is just ridiculous on your part. again congradulations tiago you the man

yeah i understand there are bench racers, so your telling me that in the whole world unless your timeslip isnt on the timeslips page then your car isnt fast? im not even gonna get into this with you but for one example, there are several people who dont have digi cams some lose their slips, some who dont really care if their car is number one according to a website even know they run 13.2 and better, and so on. I know a few people who run good times who arent on the page and im sure there are several people out there who dont even know about fbv6, and i bet several of them go to tracks, so your saying that since their slips arent on the page then they dont exist?? thats ridiculous.

I probable one of the few peopel tha have seen a f-body faster then tiagos...
Problem was it was a 99 in the year 2000(before computer tuning was bigger with 98+) it was Joe Palermo, and had 3.73s, and speed limiter, ran a 14 flat, with speed limiter hitting well before the end of the track. BUt did he ever solve a speed limter problem? No, he sold his car and moved his mods to a LS1.
But cars that should have could have would have.... I don't care, until I see timeslips or peopel claiming it ran that fine...
If you ran faster... then congrats and post your time, or come out in public with your times and mods. I know stefan's car is blown but I haven't heard any times from his car in awhile, in fact the only time I ever read anything about his car besides v6ers saying he has a blown 3.8L so it must be fast, is some v8 guys saying something about his car cathcing fire at the track.
Stefan's car does have potential, he may have even run a great time but I have never heard of it, and Tiago's car had some potential when it was back running the 14.6 on boost, well Tiago tapped into that potential and produce some times... and it still has more potential.
To be honest... I rolled my eyes a little when I saw Tiago(no offence, jsut alot of people say that on the internet) say something about pulling on a 13 second LT1, and something ike his car feeling like it was a 13 second car, way back when the turbo was first installed, I wasn't beleiveing it until a post like this and some witnesses or a timeslip, but he delivered and was able to back it up, and prove to us it really was a 13 seocnd turbo car.
There are fst v6sthat dont post, but I am not going to trust some "phantom" cars that dominate all cars. If he is a member, then consider this calling him out, produce some slips, dynos, vids, couple witnesses, mods list, anything... if its beleiveable then I will give credit.
As for guys that do nto post on these boards, and no one has come accross, they don't exist to me, if we get a couple member saying the witnessed one, then I will take it into account. Like I am sure there are faster N/A 3.4Ls then me, I ahve heard some talk of a guy running a 14.4, but that was from only one v8 member in the lounge that could not get a specific time or a mph, jsut that it ran 14.4s.
In fact I think james montigny, Tiago and Tim Legros had faster cars then me N/A I jsut got it down the track faster then them, look at all ther mphs, they own me, but look t my 60' it owns them.

i believe tiago so dont take this the wrong way but you said this
If he is a member, then consider this calling him out, produce some slips, dynos, vids, couple witnesses, mods list, anything... if its beleiveable then I will give credit.
1. tiago doesnt have a slip
2.no dyno that ive seen
3. no video

AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH
how many times do we have to go thru this?
just because a person doesnt have HIS name on the timeslips page, doesnt mean they dont exist! i have met a shltload of people who dont care to be part of these messge boards. but i see how it is- thier cars must not exist cause they arent on the timeslips page.

I didn't say that...
I said the day when he said, he beat a 13 second car, on the street he felt like he had a 13 second car, I was skeptical, buit I still think he was capable.
I believe him fully, I talk to him pretty regular, and have seen other member withness it, and talk abotu it, I more then believe Tiago. I woudl never suggest Tiago would b.s. I talk to him maybe a couple times a week, jsut knowing the person he is he woudln't do dumb crp like that.
I was jsut saying I hate reading someone say, I beat such and such car, so I must run such and such.
I beat a 2002 Saleen Mustang at the track..., does that mean I run 12s in my 3.4L? No just means the guy has a very expensive car that he cannot drive.
as soon as he ran the 14.6 I stil htought he was very capabel of being a 13 second car he ran less boost, and still had torubles with the car.
You guys are putting words into my mouth... I know timeslip page is not the end of all things... I could care less of the timeslip page, but the a tmeslip is a very useful tool in seeing how a car performs, if it has power on the top end low end, whatever. In fact many people have cars which are not even setup for Drag racing... Like me, I am not going for a drag suspensi0on, I am actual going for more of an autocross setup (I need lots of work there), but it can give you an idea of how someone's car runs. I like a timeslip more hten a video, or dyno sheet, dyno will tell you yhe hp at what rpms the car is making... but a timeslip will tell you hoe well the tires, and suspension grip onthe laucnh, what type of gearing, they have, and trap speed is very useful for gettng an idea of what power the car makes.
I have also learned alot of young kids own v6 f-bodies and claim stuff that is impossobile you call them out and they prove themselves wrong. I have been to the track and raced someone that beat a lt1, so he runs mid 13s, to race him and see he is in the 16s.

Last post,just to explain my comments.Opions are like,ummmm, noses,everyone has one 
I wasn't saying that those other car's don't exist or that somewhere in the world there isn't a faster non-juiced V6.It's just that we are talking about people here and that us as an on-line community know about.You're sort of new,there have been a TON of people popping up here in the past talking smack about cars that wasn't true.That's why we go by witnesses,slips,or videos.Then there are those of us that have been around for YEARS that have never lied or talked smack about track times.Anyway,no flames man and don't get so bent out of shape.The next time you're at the track,get some slips and some info on mods that made the people's car run faster.Don't hate,appreciate.
