One of the Trans Am.

Man the GMMG/Powerstick setup sounds so much better when you play them back to back...

This is a completely different car for people that can't follow along

Taking it easy on the 2-3. It needs a Trans rebuild. It grinds half the time I shift 2-3 over 6500rpm. Not bad for a 154k mile stock bottom end and trans with a stock replacement clutch.

Here is the Formula after the stroker went in. This was back before I had HPTuners and knew how to use it or it would be idling less like a big block and more like a purring kitten.

The collective group holding your opinion hasn't raced anything faster than a tricycle. I'm an old hand at this. I know my street cars. The vette is faster, by quite a bit.

If it wasn't i never would have said what i said. If it was a bolt on base C5 i wouldn't have said that. This is not hard to grasp.

in case you missed it the many multiple other times I've said it, I was basing that off of the timeslip that ride himself posted..

and as I clearly said right after that before u started 5 pages of bitch fit was that:

yeah thats understandable.  Not all tracks are prepped equally unfortunately. 

but yeah like fmx posted, a nice set of track wheels and a good 60 feet and I have no doubt you would bend over a mustang.


I hope you had a nice flash back to that high school drama you missed.

mustangs with these mods hit 420 to the wheels all the time, on tons of dynos...



I think "should" is the key word here.  On paper, the vette wins, Yes the vette is lighter and has about the same power, but I bet if you lined up ride and sapranos in the quarter and had em race, it would be pretty close. Sapranos has automatic which always trumps manual in the quarter, and traction becomes a huge issue with both cars. 

I bet it would be closer than you guys think


This is what you said. This is what I responded to. Besides the fact that you can't spell Sopranos you hit the nail on the head. The key word is should. That was the second word I typed. You cannot bench race drivers. If you spent some time on real car forums you would know that. Drivers are the X factor. What can be debated with some sort of facts and logical thinking is the cars themselves.

Ride has the faster car.

He SHOULD stomp a mudhole in the mustangs ass.

Ergo if he doesn't it's his fault. Make sense? If Sopranos raced my grandmother driving a Top Fuel car she SHOULD stomp a mudhole in his ass. If she doesn't, it's her fault. See how that works? I think this comes down to some of you people not knowing up from down on negotiating a race, bench racing, actual racing, or grudge racing. Hard parkers shouldn't bench race.
