Thanks.

Actually, I'm just playin' the game with you. I am more the "you drive what you like, I'll drive what I like" type. Your car is sweet. Are you racing at the Fest?

I'll probably make a few limited passes, but I don't have a cage yet... We made some last night and with very easy effort leaving the line, 2.5 second 60' times, we were still trapping at 130 mph... Brandi is simply astounding... I'm blown away how much power my builder got from her, and it's a very conservative tune... almost no timing, and plenty of fuel left... I ran next to a Chally, and he jumped off the line, several lengths ahead with no problem, I hit second gear and got her sorted out and blew past him... I trapped 126 on that pass to his 90 something...

And yes, I bought and drive what I like, and regardless of that, there are tons of Camaro's I like... and other than the green one with the huge wheels, none that I don't like...

I just don't understand the mind set of folks who dis someone else's choice. Maybe they're compensating for something by puffing themselves up...

I'm glad you're happy with your car. I'm very happy with mine.

i figured you, of all people, could appreciate the friendly banter/backstabbing between friends & fellow car owners.

i mean come on... a Ford will still get you from point A to B (most of the time anyway), but it's just the spirit & fun of stabbing at them for it just because we own Chevys. i thought that's just how it went




actually... manual transmission owners are just better people in general because their transmission defines who they are. go figure... you were right all along!!
