I'll just sit here waiting to hear that one of you beat my 122 mph AWD trap. Until then my car is Teh Fastest.

Too bad they don't give out trophies for trap speeds in Norwalk.....

If it was a trophy for flap speed, they'd both be in the running.

(as in, flappying their gums)

I beat Mark.

He's full of excuses as to why... but on my FIRST full stutterbox launch in 11 months, I beat Mark.

Satisfaction.

Bong!

Buddy if running a 12.9 is satisfaction, then go back to fiddlefuckingaround with your EVC and your WB02 and keep running 12.9's

Me, I won't be satisfied till I beat my 11.8, and listen to the ice cream truck music again.

It's a small word afterall.... It's a small world afterall...

DAMN! I got O3WNED!

Almost as bad as red-lighting and getting yourself booted out in the first round of eliminations.

12.4's on 27psi and racegas?!!? WTF is THAT?

Didn't you find that racegas was usually worth ~ .5 sec?? Hmm.. 12.9s huh?

Yeah, exactly.
And I didn't even bring up the gas issue.

If after 11 months without a launch, I can whoop your ass, then yes, that is satisfaction, and I will go back to fiddlefucking.

Next you'll want to run 10's... and then you'll gut your interior, and then you'll...

Be happy man... 12 seconds is fast.

Hey now...I ran a 12.1 on Sunday. Yes I bought race gas, but that's because I'm tired of always running 12's. I wanted to run 11's in Norwalk.

I wanted it so bad that I let Josh "run 11's in anything" Forbing drive my car. He showed me that its the car . After he ran a 14 and a 16 he got out of the car and said it aint gonna happen.

Did you both beat me in A race, yes. Did either of you come close to either of my fastest times? NO.

What was the problem? He must have said something was fubar, no?

He basically told me ALL my synchros are shot and the tranny would NOT take a quick shift at all.

He had improved another guys time by 3/10ths driving his car, so I know he could have done it in mine...

Time to ship it to shep!

It looked like everyone had problems launching. was the track messed up?

No, the track was STICKY as all hell.

I just don't normally do stutterbox launches on the street... so I was out of practice!

LOL!
You are out of practice because your car was apart for 3.5 years

Don't forget that most of his passes at the strip SINCE he got the car back together, have been "tooooning passes".



Tooooned himself into a 12 sec. car with 11 sec. parts. You guys seem to do that a LOT.

mmmmhmmmmmm
but I'M the bad driver, and don't know anything about cars...

Hey maybe we should take a poll on that topic too and we'll see what the consensus is

And I'm a terrible driver, who also doesn't know anything about cars. (just ask your buddy Marco, he'll tell you)

So, why aren't you beating me?


And Steve, the difference here, that I very graciously accept, is that you make tuning passes every day, to and from work. The beauty of a daily driver.
I have to book an appointment with my schedule two weeks out, to do any driving.

I ran a bunch of mid-low 12's, and a couple of fubared 13's with bad shifts. Take your ONE hollow victory running a 12.9 and head off to that University on your shirt (STFU).

If you spent half as much time tooning as you do emailing people to get a consensus, you might actually get faster

Hollow or not, it still tastes as good. (like a bunny at Easter)

I wouldn't have to ask for a consensus, if people I knew, actually knew anything for sure.



Bong!

For example: an EVC, does NOT require polishing compound, to work correctly.

Or transmission syncros for that matter. I'm sure it'll shift fine once Shep cleans that stuff out.

Actually, he IS. Over and over, in different ways. Usually E.T. AND MPH.

You get a quicker E.T. than he did, once. I haven't seen the slip, but I'll bet his MPH is way over yours.

Your best against his worst of the day happened to be on the same run.

Wow, you should have bought a lottery ticket that day..

Don't confuse beat with beatING.

Psst..

-shrug-

I have to work from the data I have.
A run, is a run.
And I won.

Yes, the correct term is BEAT him.

At least I don't have representatives of world governements, questioning whether my car should even be running at a track...

So, it was a standard day of you running 27psi on race gas, then?

Oh I can freely admit that Steve is a better and more consistent driver than me. He has proved it to me with his times. Andy on the other hand has nothing. Hell I ran 12.9 with a 16g.

My car has run faster than either of theirs with ME driving. Which means with someone who can really drive it could go faster than 11.8
Maybe at the next peckerhead shootout we'll switch cars and see who drives better?

Love to.
Can't get my fat ass into those designer rainbow racing seats though.

Never said I had anything... ...other than a timeslip, right here, in black and white.

But, at least you and I qualify visually, as cars that should be at a track...

I thought the track was for going fast. Not for looking pretty as you put your street car back on the trailer with a mitful of timeslips that are slower than what you say the car "will" run.

12.9s on a 16g? Hell, I've run a 12.2 on a 16G.

12.9s on a 20G would be enough to make me buy a Ford Focus and be done with it.

"My car has run faster than either of theirs with ME driving. Which means with someone who can really drive it could go faster than 11.8
"

We tried that. It went 14.40, and 16.06.

Yeah, that's what the track is for, I agree.

Too bad a trained border official, someone trained in visual inspection, interpretation, and trusted with the safety of a nation -- felt otherwise.

When I have as many hours/kilometers on the car as you do, and can't pull a 12.2, then you can laugh.

In that light, after 3.5 years of EXTRA practice that Mark got in while my car was off the road -- why didn't he get any better?


Bong!

My car has 79,000km on it, me having put approx 60,000 on it myself, the rest by my wife and the dealer I bought it from (it was a demo)

That's the extent of my driving a stick experience. Now divide that by 14 yrs and it equals approx 4000km per year, 1200km of which would be drving to the SO the years I didn't tow it.

Bah! Fuckit. I give up. I've got the fastest slip,lots of car show trophies and yet somehow I'm the slowest, ugliest, worst driving pos there is...

Yep I suck. :rolleyes:

Acceptance is the first step.
Welcome to the program.



PS: I never said you were the ugliest, someone else holds that title, as judged by professionals. (see above)

...but don't get too bummed out.
I mean we nearly took over Europe (twice) in the last century, and still make the world's finest and fastest automobiles.

What do the crazy bitches in kilts produce, other than velcro gloves?

.. domesticated sheep.

"I've got the fastest slip"

Correction... quickest slip.

You deserve some serious credit Tinky. Go back and start from the begining of this thread and reread it. Some of us have come a long way .

Yeah, but this ain't no frikken' love in, this is the BONG thread.

(that is, unless you're Steve, and then it's Pecus Fornicatus, complete with rubber boots -- velcro gloves optional, for the domesticated variety)

Funny how close Pecus is to Peckerhead.


Hmmmmm.... I think we have a new mascot for the ghetto rocket...

Yeah.. a Mongoose, because the G.R. walks all over them.

No silly, a sheep with a smile!

From Modified Mag. :

""This purple Plymouth has been to every shootout we can remember and runs consistent low 12's"

See.. I TOLD you, you don't run 11s anymore. They run out after a year.

You better buy SOMETHING soon. Because I just did.

is this meant as an offensive compliment or a nice insult?
