and before anyone jumps on me.... what i meant by "real" cars is that there are not retards bringing daddy's car or their beater truck/car and wasting time. unfortunately that's 50% of the cars that show up at Cecil County on Friday nights.

Unlike others on here I know that you can't judge a cars performance on trap speeds.

Please tell me the accuracy of a 1/4 mile pass on bald tires, with wheelhop bad enough to almost bite your tongue by accident and having to get almost completely out of the gas and a car able to spin up to 85mph on the street.

Its not an accurate way to judge the speed or power of the car. Also thats a pass that was made over half a year ago, the car hasn't been near a drag strip since


I'm sorry but a car that makes 50whp less than me that happens to have drag radials and some suspension parts I didn't have at the time and posts up nice 1/4 times is NOT faster than me. The fact of the matter is on drag radials I'd wipe the floor with any M62 car. Only an idiot would argue against that. I can't justify buying drag radials for a car that I don't race.

you barely hit 13's with a tvs. i blew threw the clutch in second. short shifted third so bad it came back down to 3k rpms and still trapped 111 with a 1.9 60ft.

so go ahead and attack me and tell my numbers lie.


go ahead and bite the hand that feeds.

Alot has changed on the car since October, parts wise and tune wise, your basing an opinion on a setup thats no longer on the car, heck theres been a ton of changes even since last dyno for the better

oh it must be slow because thats what you did last year with different parts - yea that makes alot of sense

if you go Friday be sure to let me know your times.

what was the ET of this tire shredding run anyway i seem to have missed it in the top 10 times post on here?

Your a smart guy with these cars no doubt but when it comes to details your pretty vague, maybe the truth doesn't support your legend?

I'm past the point of trying to justify my tuning/driving/choice of parts to anyone on this forum because it doesnt matter what numbers or times I put down. I could run a 12.8 on friday night with street tires and trap 120 and there would be some douchebag on here that would be like "oh well hatrickstu ran 12.75 you should be faster bla bla bla".

You have to realize that by being the person who states they have the highest numbers around and doesn't share ANYTHING about how they did it it is a matter of time before people stop believing you're the golden child and start calling bullshit. Whether it's true or not - you set yourself up for it by being secretive. Kinda like the guy who says he's a stock Civic but runs 12s and won't open his hood.

I just made it up for the sake of comparison. I changed it to "civic" so it is easier to believe he's a complete tool with a turbo or spray or something.

You know, "that guy" who thinks he's badass because he has a fast car but won't tell anyone what's in it.

He doesn't share anything? I'm pretty sure he just listed all of his mods for you.

You kids and you lack of comprehension.

Up until that point, he hadn't, or at least people didn't get the fact that his car has different parts than you'll get with the standard kit.

Yeah, I really don't care that much. Not to mention it's out of date.

There's M62 cars that have dyno'd alot more than 298 and M62 cars that have actually ran good times not just speculate.

what the hell happened?? People on this site need to learn to listen and not assume ****. Area, while I don't know him personally, is probably the most knowledgable guy on the forum. This thread is prime example on why he will not post numbers. People get their things shoved so far up their ass. He posts his mods, people call bullshit. He posts numbers and they call bullshit. He stays quiet and people call him a liar. Screw trying to help you unintelligent teenagers who are so full of *** their eyes are leaking it.

My apologies Area. Never meant for the thread to turn into this. Guess it shows charactor on here.
