End of story!

I'm in the process of selling the rights as a reality show!

Is everyone in the east valley? In a PM someone mentioned Anthem Motors, I-17+101, anyone with reviews / experiences?

I'd rather have the $$$ donated to a charity than deal there, for reasons previously mentioned.

Thank you for your acknowledgement about me being 100% right with my beef.

However, I have not been personal about anyone at that shop except one person, the owner and he does represent the company, and I only commented on his customer service skills.


I have been attacked personally repeatedly and relentlessly why? What is your affiliation with Xtreme.

Again with the red herring, that would mean distraction to you.

You know I'm not affiliated with anyone in the automotive industry, you know.

I'm hoping if you read your statements and my responses enough they will sink in.

If I'm typing to fast for you to understand, I ___ will ___ slow ___ down ,
P.S. that's a funny ...Regarding the dollars, going to charity it is a good thing right, you don't have a issues with charities do you?

Its a simple remedy, pilgram pony up to a non profit charity in Phoenix that benefits the poor. Post up or PM the confirmation, no you can not fabricate your own confirmation, must be the charities confirmation.

P.S.S.
you will notice xtreme will not confirm to a charity as outlined, get the point.

interpet for you? really good idea that you perrhaps should try it on yourself first. 4 days ago i asked u to show restrain, so these people that you were trying to blackmail know that u are able to upheld your part of deal and also that would give them the time to pay. of course you either can't read english that isn't in agreement with u or u just can't read at all. now again, see if you are able to upheld your end of the blackmail which is to let it rest and stop attacking a supporting vendor.

why isn't grumpy locking this guy out or shutting down this thread?

An LS2 in a Solstice? That's pretty nuts. People shoehorn V8's in miatas all the time, so why not?

This is the kind of stuff you guys should be discussing. Isn't there a regional forum for us though. Can one of the mods move this thread?

another confirmation that u can't read. in post# 146, i stated i don't wished to be pm, u have something to say, posted for everyone to see. now u pm me, learn to understand english

Sir, I actually have dropped it, you keep reopening the subject and have to have the last word.

Must be because your wife finishes all your sentences!

Sorry you have nothing better to do than pound sand..


Jay W.


i request you show others that u had blackmail that u are able to give it a rest for the 2nd time on post# 165, and again u just can't do that plus has to go to pm now. i at least is able to give it a rest for 4 days just to prove that u can't do the same. if i were to use your statment / logic in your pm, that would make your wife the one that finished all your sentences for u since it is u can't can't give it a rest. u need to get out of this thread after posting over 25+ posts on some nickel and dime issue and get a life with a woman soon.

Way to go and open up this thread again.

But since it's open, ProGod, how are you going to get 600 out of the LS2? Are you going to fit a supercharger in that engine bay too?

Even the most ridiculous H&C bored out LS2's only put low 500's out to the wheels. And whatever it is, that thing better show up at Firebird when it's ready cause I want to see it in action.

They make a mini tub kit for the solstice? 600hp to those 245s would be pretty useless until about 4th gear.

600 crank, not at the wheels, all N/a. I am sure i'll be kicked right out of firebird the minute I pull up. I guess i can claim it only does 14sec 1/4mil, and get one good run out of it

Don't quote crank hp. Once it leaves the factory we all go by the wheels. That's still going to be pretty tough to do. ~535 NA out of an LS2, even bored out. That's very optimistic. Did P&S quote that to you.

What a lot of people do is tech for 11.5, then get a few practice runs in by cutting it before the end of the track. You'll see 12.xx at 85mph or so.

Then once you are comfortable with the launch go for it and get kicked out. It's kind of the goal for a lot of guys out there. They have been lax about kicking people out lately though.

My buddy took his ZX-10 out the other night with just jeans and a leather jacket. He got 5-6 runs in by just killing it before he trapped. Then finally ran an 11.6 at 129mph, meaning he needs full leathers and a kill lanyard (over 120 on a bike). But even then no one said anything to him.

So the CA is building up the engine and PS is doing the transplant? I'd love to see that in progress.

The stock width wheels won't hold much of anything without at least DR's if not slicks. With that kind of power through 245 anything, you're likely to see 12s at stupid trap speeds, like 130+ mph.

With DR's you can probably hit 11's. But if you want to run the 10s that kind of car is capable of, you'll have to widen it up a ton, meaning some kind of mini tub.

Ya i just think its going to be fun to drive. Should drive alot like the 1965 cobras. Squirelly as hell, but alot of fun.

Unlike my new porsche, it grabs the road so well I sware i could barely beat grandma in her grocery getter. It doesn't feel like its going near as fast as it is..

Jeez man, slow down. Save something for the grand kids.

So you have a new 997 Turbo too? Bring one of your toys to Firebird on the 28th. We'll have a bunch of vettes out there.

I drove around a 996 GT3 the other day. It was impressive. Not enough to give up my Corvette for it, but it was noticeably faster than my C6. Unfortunately, the roads here in AZ don't turn much unless you drive a good 45 minutes away, and the dealer probably wouldn't have been game for that.

At Firebird or Speedworld you are good down to 11.5 seconds. The 14 second barrier is there to force you to use a SNELL 2000 helmet. Once you break 11.5 you will be kicked out unless you put a roll bar in your cockpit.

I have been lurking a while but I can add to this discussion.

AZPS has a bad reputation of not finishing cars, check out this search:

http://boardreader.com/index.php?a=s&q=%22azps%22.

or go to ls1gto.com or check out this Arizona board that talks about even more cars they haven't finished:
