These cars are making anywhere from 650-1000 hp and aren't running much quicker then I am. It seems that every week there is a different excuse to why the guys down there didn't run any better. I am not putting them down just stating what i have seen thus far.

The only thing i am saying is that there are other proven shops and tuners with far less drama that follows them around. It is unacceptable to call someone to travel hours and spend money to pick up a car that is still not working right.. Where is the big MPH that these 650-900 hp car should have? It's like most ppl down there don't wanna look outside of the circle..There past accomplishments were great but lets see some new stuff go fast and so far there isn't much to talk about..

Dons car has been while in the making hasn't it? The video didn't sound like it was off and on the throttle. My cousins car ran better then that years ago with stock ported heads and LS6 block. I am not cutting down Don's car but those accomplishment are far from stellar.
I am not suggesting that i run 9s but i do think that i can take out most of the 10 second guys down there. When i do run better i am sure the excuses will be coming.. and i will be doing that with a stock motor with a small cam and 150 shot..see u guys in the spring..

A interesting race would by Don's new combo versus the former shop car that went low 9s back in the day. I haven't seen a C5 come out of there run the same numbers. My cousin should run him for bragging rights. New vs old.....

Mikey...stirrin the pot 
I almost wanna put a auto in my car to represent the ottawa boys on this one but ahhhh.......... I am movin on to road race events
I will be running at MAXTON this next year for something new. How fast can go from a stop to 1 mile ? !!!
Mikeys car is a bit of a freak I will admit. This motor should have died awhile ago but it keeps on tickin. 10.8's at 133mph is pretty impressive on stock motor/fuel system/150 shot.
Oh ya....have you ever lost a fight Mikey?
