Guy at Work sold Cobra and got 99 Z28 6 spd.

Mercury · 05-11-2001, 11:56 AM

Some of you all might rememfber my posts about me and the guy at work having a rivalry between us.

He talked trash about my "SLOW" 2000 GT and how his 2000 Z28 Auto could beat me. Well we raced. I WON.

He traded his Z28 in on a 98 Cobra. He talked more trash, he said the Cobra was a hell of alot faster. We raced three times...I WON THREE TIMES.

Does anyone see a trend going on here.

Well, he put 3:73 on his Cobra,and supposedly some other things. He found out that I had ordered several things. I didnt tell him it was only an Off-road H-pipe and Pulleys. He backed down from a race, even though I didnt have the stuff on my car yet.

Well, now he sold his Cobra and got a 99 Z28 6spd. It still has the Skip SHift crap enabled, and he drives like a three legged dog runs.

I hate to sound cocky, but I smell an easy victory. This guy has lied so much about us racing. He's told everyone that I lost everyone of those races and put THOUSANDS of dollars in mods in my car. UMMMM...NO...

I spent roughly 330$.

I don't understand why people lie about races.

*shrug* videotape the races lol

sounds like fun nevertheless =P

lol it sounds like he drives like sh*t and is lookin for a car that'll make up for it

And skipshift isnt hard to get around in daily driving, or you can simply stick a resistor in the end of the plug...

Or what ive done..just unplug it and ignore the code it throws

Skarodom.

YOur exactly right, he's trying to find a car that will do the driving (racing) for him. All he thinks you have to do is just put your right foot to the floor and shift at the redline.

His 2000 Z28 put up a better race than the 98 Cobra, but I thinks its because the cobra is a little harder to race/drive. Its more for people with experience.

As for him lying. Hes always done that. Even at work when he screws up something. Its never his fault. That and his pride was hurt. My car cost several grand less than either the Z28 or the Cobra and he had his ego knocked down.

CHEAP GT's arent supposed to be able to hang with LS-1's or Cobras, Didnt you all know that:

Well, thats according to him, so he thought I spent thousands of dollars modifying my car, when in fact it was stock as hell.

After a meeting, we were supposed to race, a guy actually did bring a Camcorder to tape it. It was the main reason everyone came to the meeting, to see the race afterwards. People had been talkin about it for 2 weeks prior. They even had a betting pool going on. I'm not sure what the odds were for me, but one of the drivers told me they were in my favor. Three Quarters of the people at work are racing fans, half of those used to street race alot, and all of those are redneckish.

But brad waited till everyone left to run. What a wimp. Needless to say everyone was rather upset when brad declined to line them up.

So he went from a 2000 Z28 Auto, to a 1998 Cobra, then back to a 1999 Z28 6speed

He must be the worst driver in the world becaus he should have won with the 2000 Z a4! I can see him loosing with the 6speed, but an A4??hmmm

What kind of times do the Z-28's with the 6 speed run? Trying to see if I should run a friend who just got one.
