Re: Get This!!!! (bence13_33)
hey bence, just thought i would relay this point. because you drive a corvette, you drive a real sports car--period. i had some guy in an old mopar challenge me a couple years ago. now my car is mostly stock and the engine is all original, i'd be lucky to get 200hp from it. i have done some minor mods to the car though. the guy wanted to race for 'pink slips'. i thought about it for a minute and said, "sure, best two out of three and i pick the tracks". **HUH?** i told him, sure i'll race, i'll even put up my title but the trick is i own a real car--it stops and turns as well as it goes. if he wants to race me we do one pass on the drag strip, one lap on a road course and one high speed run from here (las vegas) to mercury and back, about 80 miles round trip. best time wins the event and best two out of three wins the car. it was really a cop-out on my part since i knew i had no chance on the drag strip against his car, but then again, he would have no chance on a road course against my car. no real point to this, don't even know why i brought it up. :rolleyes:

Bence you need to get it to the track again and lay down a new best time, word will get around to them after you do. Then mail the timeslip to them with a little note that reads, "dump or get off the pot boys". I'm sure you can come up with the word to replace 'dump' with, the word filter police would rip it out for sure if I posted it. But you get the idea, mess with their heads first.
I hate to admit it but I did that with my Cuda's to the Chevy guys that dogged me in my neighborhood years ago before I bought the Vette. Never failed, they get so wound up about it that when you do race they mash the pedal with aggression and go up in smoke. I beat cars that I know for a fact where a good bit faster, but I had the psychological edge by laying that groundwork first.
Either way you're having fun with you're car instead of puking up the same old line of "wait until I get my blah blah blah".
