I know! I'm diggin' the attitude myself. Cautious yet confident. Polite with pugilistic undertones. This may be a start to something very special Major who?

You can call me whatever you want. As long as you know it's me that you need to be scared of in the 11.50.


Did you buy Steve's Z06? You know there was a rumor that the car had a hesitation... We all thought it was just Steve, but you never know.

Well I for one am looking forward to your future PUI's in progress.


All I need now is Stealth to call the shop and say he bought an ECS built car and my career is complete.




btw, just out of curiosity, Pete do you know Paul? Or is this all just open ended smack talk? (which would make it go from funny to hilarious)

I have no idea who Paul is. As I've said, I've seen a lot of smack talk from him and never seen him race...

I guess that will change this year.

Mike calling ECS is akin to the Israelis singing Hava Nagila with Hazbollah rebels at a local bar mitzvah.

I don't know Pete but I have a feeling he likes me already. A lot. I mean, how could anyone NOT like me?

I actually just found my LT1 edit cable last week, I want to get my 97 Camaro sold so I might be tuning an LT Camaro this season if it's off at all.

Only thing that car needs IMO is a convertor Paul, but it will run 10.50 as it sits I'm sure.

This car needs a good tire! Holy crap, it's borderline undrivable on the street in 1st gear on those Invictas! A ton of torque! But, if she's capable of running the number I'll figure out how to get her into the winner's cirlce from time to time

Oh, and I my need a roll bar
