But I think what everyone was more curious about was my cars accel, vs Rons. Not Rons driver skill/ or his Chevelles ability to launch better with squishy tires a solid axle and an automatic. Because everyone already knows how that race will turn out.
And again, if I cared only about drag racing, never would have gone from a proven TH350 to a T56. Would you have?
And you racing your street car at the track is stupid. How much money are you going to win with your 'race car?' And you better stop going to motorgen cruises if you think driving fast cars on the street is so stupid.
Asphalt is asphalt, and your qualified challenge, 'Ill race you but only at the track, never on the street' isnt much of a challenge, considering it just came out in my conversation with Ron that venue is the problem. So are you just trying to sound bad ass?
Ps, stop comparing your car to Rons, its not, not even close. Sorry man.

1. I never said you car wasnt fast, street racing is stupid and dangerous and only saying you'll race from a roll in very ricer.
2. I didnt build my cars to win money, I invested in a hobby that I know going in has no return, at all. I did however, build my cars to run safely at a controlled track event, be it drag racing, auto-x or a road course. A car will NEVER see it's potential on the street ever unless you're looking at its potential to kill someone.
3. When I go to motorgen cruises, which is sparse, i stay near the back of the pack and follow the law, I again, will not jeopardize my badge I have a clean driving record and it'll stay that way.
4. Do you keep forgetting I have 2 cars? If you mean the race car then yes, it's no where near Ron's car. It has nothing, no heat, no a/c, no radio, every possible piece that could be cutt off or removed for weight savins is gone. There is not a single stock suspension piece, or engine part other then the stock block.
The blue car however, whether you like it or not is nearly identical to Ron's car. I only mention Ron because he's the only other mustang person on the board with a pushrod. Its a simple proven combo that THOUSANDS have on other boards, dont believe me? Check the corral and ye shal be saved. I however would LOVE to hear how Max differs, i'm not new to building mustangs. I've had my 87 for the better part of 6 years.
Lastly, I ONLY mentioned willow springs because you yourself said you didnt care about the 1/4 mile. I dont give a shit one way or another if you want to race or not. I've never made a claim about what one of my cars will run, or said i'm going to take out so and so I probably enjoy the build more then the actual car in the end. All I know is I have a set guidline I have built the cars by and that's all. Wether you believe or dont believe it's like someones car or its fast or not that's fine. I have enjoyed building them and will continue to do so. You give me shit and I give you shit and the world keeps on going 'round, no need to take offense to anything I post cause it's all in good fun. If I had a problem with you you'd know it and I'd avoid you and your posts like the plague.
