Optic's 03 Cobra Vs my Z06
Here is a video link (it is slow - sorry, not mine) to see Optic and I on our first (of 2) runs Sunday, this is where I had traction control on, and he won - the 2nd race he missed 3rd and I won, low shifting 3-4 since my tranny was not a happy camper at that point. I show this so you can see the car, not brag about the result - like I said before neither of us did well against each other that day :)
Les here is a better link to the run (I am the one blowing off the tires like crazy) http://www.ls1forums.com/videos/lesvs03cobra.mpg

Re: Optic's 03 Cobra (QUIKAG)
PoBoy - All I can say is I hope you get an opticalrectumy soon. That is where they cut the nerve between your eyeball and your butthole which gives you a crap outlook on life. :crazy: :crazy: Fellow Z06 owners on this forum know all too well that Optic and I drive Z06's and that we posted that we raced last Sunday, including his other toy against my car. I was merely posting the video and I make no apologies to you :cry :nopity
Swimmer - I had been running 12.3X's all day (no traction - 60' times were awful). First run against Optic I left traction control on (idiot) and he edged me out, second run he got a huge hole shot on me, I spun like crazy, caught him in 2nd gear and then he missed 3rd so it was over - I did an easy shift to 4th because the tranny had been acting up - ran a high 12.4 or low 12.5, but it was over long before the finish.

PoBoy,
Hey - you started it. And slamming others because you have posted more then them - what's up with that?
Quote: "Okay, well maybe I just read the topic and not the post....maybe it should have been titled "Les' Z06"????
Is that where you said you made a mistake and it was your bad. You are right, I can't read, you have more posts then I do, you are a great guy, don't know what I was thinking that a coupe owner coming in the Z06 forum and tell two Z06 owners what we should post??!! Do you think just maybe you should READ the friggin thread before you throw stones?
NO, screw you.
If you had REALLY said "my mistake" or "my bad" I would have said "no problem", instead you want to be a jerk about it and have others bow down to your impressive number of posts - who cares besides you?
Apologies to my fellow forum members to have to read this crap, I will go quiet with respect to this guy, life is too short.
:seeya

Re: Optic's 03 Cobra (rbartick)
Ross,
I was able to view it? The service that is hosting it can be pretty slow. BTW I looked at it again and see I am in the near lane, this is actually the race that Optic won where I left my traction control on, neither car did a lot, and he finished about a 1/2 length ahead of me. I took the second run when Optic missed 3rd but I was in the right lane for that race.

here's how the topic for this fourm reads:
Z06 Discussion This section is for Z06 specific topics.
Other Cars Yes, there are other cars than Corvettes. And some of us even need winter beaters. Feel free to discuss them here.

Re: Optic's 03 Cobra (PoBoy Racer)
OK, I lied - one more post and I promise no more.
You claim to have said it was your bad to have posted your comment without even reading the thread, yet you seem to want to still say I shouldn't have posted the video. I disagree completely. The race IS a Z06 vs a Cobra. The Cobra owner also owns a Z06 which he also raced that day and in an earlier thread we talked about the results which I later posted the video - which happens to have a good shot of his Cobra as well.
We will have to agree to disagree on where the post belonged, if I had it to do over I would do it the same way. Feel free to skip over any post with my name, or the words Ford, Mustang, Cobra, Optic, Buzz or any combination, it is a free country.
OK, now I am done - life goes on.

My apologies for typing that, it was wrong....post counts are irelavant, but that guy pissed me off
From where I sit you took a (inappropriate) swing at me and Buzz reacted. Over here in Atlanta we have each others back. Peace on that point.
don't know what I was thinking that a coupe owner coming in the Z06 forum and tell two Z06 owners what we should post??!!
this is a pic of my "coupe"....looks like an 2003 Z06 to me.....
Strange, when I looked at your profile yesterday I could swear it said you had a 2000 Coupe??!! Not really relevant to this discussion what car you drive, my point was that maybe you are not in the Z06 threads enough to know us - I sure don't know you.
BTW, I'm not a jerk,
OK, maybe you aren't, but I think you acted like one, hence my original comment about getting out on the wrong side of the bed.

Re: Optic's 03 Cobra (ZO6Les)
Les, I don't disagree with what you posted.....I guess I'm not being clear....sorry........the topic " Optic's 03 Cobra " is what threw me off. I thought the post was about a Cobra, not a race between your Z06 and one........I should have read before I typed.......
Honestly, I apoligize, I will pay more attention in the future, I want to be friends with any and all members here on this forum, including you, I wasn't trying to make enemies..... :cheers:
