Did I say you were lying? I don't remember saying anything close to that. You announced weight. I explained what I saw come off the car. Nothing more, nothing less. Why does everyone get so butt hurt when something is addressed?:(

Hay nice work guys it look like the rear is still bouncing on start and sift, you may pic up some time in the 60 ft if you get it to plant more.

Absolutely, I'm stating what was taken off and listing it so there is no misunderstanding. There is more in it, when the drag pack goes in it should inprove the 60'
Thanks for the props.

No you are not saying it but you seem to be implying it.

That would be my bad then. I guess there is no good way to phrase it without seeming like a dick. I just saw someone asked the weight. Which was stated but you know the next question was gonna be " how is it do light?" Its all good. Very very impressive to say the least.

No problem, I laid all the cards on the table. This is the way most record breaking runs are done, you have to take the weight out since the rest of the guys on the list probably did the same. Heck, even if we added 200# to this car it would still run 11.0s and it would still be the #1 spot on the fastest list. From here on it's gravy and it still needs a drag suspension to get it to 60' better.

That's what I had observed as well.

It is, I'd talked to the (very pleased) owner at the track a little bit about the car and he does drive it to work nearly every day.

I was just replying to GMRULZ in respect to his car...which is an auto and is supercharged.

He was comparing details of his car and his his times to the OPS times etc.

Yeah...these guys have me pumped for sure. I have almost all my parts already for my H/C swap this winter. Got everything I need except for the heads and cam lol. Even got an electric water pump, a fast 102 and a nick Williams 102 TB. Just waiting to make damn sure of my H/C set up. I want it to run good. I took the time with my 98 and it paid off.

I think I'll have to start lightening my car as well. I weigh in at 4170#. It's more fun to race the car the way I drive it on the street. Except for a tire swap!

That's interesting that you say that, I saw your car at atco, it got trailered in, ur seats were missing and looked like your bumber supports were missing and weighing in at that much is hard with bogarts and skinnys... You should weigh in alot less then 4170...

That's a shame that your vision is going at such a young age. Didn't your mother feed you any carrots? First, I never left the car so I know that no one even looked in it and I don't even know what a "bumber" support. And the fact that you could see through the "bumper" covers is amazing!! Unfortunatley for you there are over a 100 people that have seen my car race and it races the way it drives on the street. I give you an C for effort here my little troll.
