Believe me if you like, or dont. It doesnt make much diffrence to me. LS-1's arent invincible. Those werent the first two, and they wont be the last ones either. I took both of them to the cleaners.

I dont Bull Sht, kinda for the same reason I dont go to strip clubs......Its all fantasy, and dreaming; and fantasy stuff doesnt do me no good. Thats not what gets me my shts and giggles. Lying and BSing doesnt do anything for me, nor does a big man image, especially if it would have to be aquired through Lies.

As for my time slips, I havent run at the track. I hope to, but since I work late shifts I dont often get the time, and when I do get those respective days off, its almost always inconvient because of prior plans.

I'd love to dyno my car, but that costs money, and time. Niether do I have much of.

Its true I was offered money to run at Rockingham, I think the total was up to 20 dollars if I would run. But I did chicken out. Not because I dont think I'd run good times, but because I know I'd get so nervous and try to stage at the 60ft or 8th mile mark.

Members here might not have any more reason to believe my friends that post here, but if you doubt me, ask The Gang (Tim C, RS350, The Sandman, Mike Nav, Budman94GT, MustangScoob) They'll tell ya I either have a freak or I drive the living pisss out of my car.

On a related note....I've seen people turn in Mid 15's with a Z-06, heard of Lightings running similar times. Lot of its driver, even of the street where things can be even more difficult.

I'd think though that I would fare just as well against the BIG BAD LS-1's at the track. There tuff stuff, and I give them respect, but there not inviciable by any means. I dont know why people seem to be so surprised when I beat them (Or in two cases, lost by very little).

I've taken them from rolls, and from stops. And yes, they did Know I was racing them.
