Since your intelligence is only exceeded by the size of the hair on your back, Ill explain that PI means Priviate Investigator. I know you wouldnt have gotten it on your own..


Just to help you along in your little search, You might search for my name in the Forced Induction section.. Thats the only place I really go on that site..

4cefed: You're right. My mistake.

Kurt: The only reason I got on the ZR1 board was because of the original post regarding your race with T/A. I don't know Sean that owns that car but I did invite him to race at Bradenton. He is a street racer and was not interested in going heads up at the track. Since you beat him and I suspect you have more than what you showed I was seeing if you were interested in showing me what you have at the track. I don't know who said that I have the fastest Impala on the planet. Obviously I don't ! The car is quick for how heavy it is. I don't street race so I don't mind telling you what is the best I have run. It is no secret. 10.19 @136.17. The mph is not where I would like it to be, but I am pleased with the E.T. Car hooks ok for 4000lbs. This is truly a street car unlike many of the fast b-bodies. Until recently I owned a 2000 FRC. Love the vettes. No bashing here. The ZR1s are amazing cars. Their mph is envious. Heck I can't wait to race xsmph (Julio) at the track. Don't think I would want to try him on the street. I may be bold at times but not crazy or better yet stupid.
Would like to hook up at the track sometime. Let me know.

:cheers:

Hey 007 - why is it that I come onto the ZR-1 discussion to talk about my Corvette? Why don't I troll around F-body forums, take the time to create a name, password, enroll and then talk shiet with some F-body dudes so I can bitche them out until they finally admit my car is better?

Give up?

It's because I know my car is better, and I don't give a rat's azz what they think!! That, and I have better things to do.

Clint - good call - moderator would be nice - someone who actually reads the posts would be even better.

4cefed - That bugsbunny line cracks me up - I use it frequently. It is known that one's intelligence can be measured by their sense of humor - you must be one smart dude!!

ABS, ASR, etc., etc., : these terms actually can be found in BOOKS!!! Those are the strange things with paper and writing inside em. Check out the ones from 15 years ago when these abbreviations started to be used.


Ok, back to the real reason I am on this forum - to learn about the ZR-1!!

That is one impressive LT1 he has there. But with a .6xx lift solid roller cam I don't think that car will be as docile as the equally powered 415 LT5. He won't be fooling anyone with that lumpy idle. That is what sets the LT5 apart. The ability to be a grocery getter one minute and the terror of the streets the next.

The best part of that post was this:

RatRacer: I guess you have already heard about my 4 Door Pig. No problem. Just Bring it. Show all your friends what you have.

It may be a little difficult to explain to those that do not witness the race, assuming you are prepared to back up the talk, just how in the world you lost to an Impala SS show car. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Question,

Whats the fastest quarter mile mph a stock bottom end ZR1 has run? My friends in Ocala have a 93Z28 that went 10.3 at 136mph with heads, hydraulic cam, and nitrous.. ON PUMP GAS...

My God, and he wasnt even driving a ZR1.. What is the world coming too!!!
I don't know too much about the car but.....

I know Shawn, he used to work for me. What this :troll isn't telling you is that the car runs high 12s off the juice. How much Nitrous do you think he's spraying?
