Tonight while coming back from work I saw what looked like 1977 Blue Vette, and so pulled beside him...it was misting outside so I gunned it a little to see what he would do, and he went for it! So I caught up to him (seemed stock) and we toyed with eachother for awhile...it was fun, until I gave my baby all the gas and forced out the beast inside my newly built 425 HP 350! G-Night is all I can say...the reason I post this is it looked like a nice vette, and was wondering if it was anybody from the Fort Worth TX area...anyways, another one bites the dust, hehe...

Several thing will get slammed on this forum. Street racing and 450hp 350. Welcome to the forum. Prepare for the beating..

Street racing is serious business No person who owns a Corvette should ever ever ever get on the gas in any way unless racing in a sanctioned, licensed and authorized way-----------at least that is what I was told after a recent post I hope you spanked his butt

While I'm no saint nor will I ever be the fact remains Street Racing is a big "No-No" on this forum.

Nice run...

why? so all those chest beaters can post again? Most of those kill stories are exaggerated anyways, same as all those seat of the pants dyno claims and 400Hp chips & filters... I can do without it just like OT and the babes section.

I posted a kill story about beating a 944 in the kill section and got slammed by "why pick on a 944". Bottom line was he wanted to race and I kick his ash. It was funny to read the logic behind why I won.

What a trip I know most people tell REALLY TALL tales.
I thought about that after I posted that I got in a big
forum fight at CAC because some chick said she smoked a H-D big time
in her stock 76 vette, and the bike driver was no novice to racing
his bike I have a 2000 and 2004 T/C softail, I know what these
puppys can do when they were stock

My 2000 is in my homepage, my 2004 is still apart, but I
can't post pic's of it on here. I just put a custom paint job on it.
I can email pic's for those interested

I'm still trying to figure out how you make a 450hp 350, please post engine spec. or dyno. How do you idle? I'm amazed to say the least. Let's bring the beast to Denton and put down some times.
