You can't be serious. All you've done is allienate the good folks here with the same shit.

Yeah I dont even know why he would quote that, there was obviously massive driver error. I mean shoot give me an SS and even with a 3.0 60 foot I'll still run better than a 14.9 thats HORRIBLE.

So you speak for the whole V6 crowd? So all of you take your car to the track? So now it is about time slips? Are you serious? Sure ok, your V6 is faster than a SS and much faster than a supercharged SS. You are a genius, Homer!

You win genius.
I took it as him saying hes a great driver and your not a top 10 driver??

how are you going to have a bad driver, on an automatic? lol all you do is smash the gas pedal.

the track here in vegas is really slow. that's why i also posted the DA corrected times. Also, what do you mean, "i don't know why he would quote that..."? I didn't quote anything, i was there...

Can somone please explain to me all the different things a driver can do wrong when driving an automatic?

Mostly just the launch, keeping the tires from spinning too much. And some cars are faster in manual mode than auto so making sure they shift at thie right times.

with taking that all into consideration, i would think that the l99 would have to be spinning there for a LONG time, for a v6 to beat them.

but seeing as how i was there, that wasn't the case. lol i don't know why the l99 was so slow, but it was.

very true...maybe that fuse pull thing all those v8 guys are always talking about? that coupled with some extra weight in the car or some heavy aftermarket rims could definitely do that.

Poser? We has one. When you have the word "cobra" in your username, and a pic of a "cobra" in your sig, yet, you don't OWN a cobra, you are a poser.

In fact, he should be appearing on the cover of next month's "Poser Monthly".
