What happened to that 1 of 50 409? Those 409's have cool looking valve covers.

He was talking about Corvette Mike

It's to name call someone then delete it when he gets called out about it

I really want to hear the answer to this one. You said yours was a mid 6 second bike. Pro stock Bikes run very high 6s low 7s which makes you a good bit faster. As I'm sure you know a few 10ths in drag racing is huge so you should have no problem. So, could you beat Matt Smith on his 7 second Pro Stock bike?

EDIT: You never did say what got you to 350hp either...

Thanks, he did the same thing to me yesterday, did a quick post and said I was a fat old tool salesman that has eaten too many doughnuts. Then he quickly deleted it. We now call a quick post and a quicker delete a "hokey"................

Makeing fun of the 409 and 400 is makeing fun of my sick dad and that does make me angry.

Ive never had a lsx motor in it.

Anywho doesn't matter what motor is in it.... All corvette's are slow.... So says my ZX-10r lmao. But ah it is american and fun to drive to bad to many smart asses stay on the forums.
Anybody who wants to try i got my car + my bike vs your car for pinks.
Ah and for a 1 time offer ill spot Jon 5 car length's.
And offer him my car + my bike +5k if he puts is c5 on the line. Hell on the drag strip ill do it on 1 wheel.
The offer also stands on the track ill even spot you a lap lol....

Details of bike 2006 super bike Master bike of the year. "meaning the fastest race bike in the world on the track"
Has some work done putting 350hp at the back wheel weighing in at alittle bit over 360lbs.
Id say on a good day a mid 6 to low 7sec ride....

That's open to any corvette including the 2011 ZR1.

WALTER MITTY SYNDROME?

Is there a cure? No.

If the stories are just harmless delusions it's probably best to humor them and politely walk away. There is no point in trying to "set them straight."

Ah yes, the Hokey is a double edge sword indeed. More of a sneak attack type post.
