I miss the days of old. Anybody think they can beat my springless Corolla? 

I do too.  A good dose of banter from  DC, Angry or NoShow would be refreshing.

Do you remember what used to be called The Evil Alliance?  Im not sure of all the details or the exact characters. 

Yes.  They were scum.

it's true, you know.

Hah!  I hear they were a “team” to get around paying for shipping on purchases.  “I bought this for ‘our’ car and sent it to my teammate for the build”

Also true.

gtxvette i got a name for your fiero.  Sloppy Seconds

Darth Nader is pretty solid.  I liked "Tard Barge" (the jhaas '49 Chevy)

I've been trying to be nice but how is Andy going to wire his LS swapped RX7 when he couldn't do the two wires he needed for his nitrous last year?

I don’t know how I’m going to have time to do anything this year. You may see the return of the Q”Ute”45 with some weight reduction. It’s is already a 13 second drag car that with power steering will be able to climb the autocross ladder. 

I haven’t removed one of the two engines I need to for the RX7 yet and free time is slipping away. 

I always love how the .9 gets dropped off a 1/4 mile time.

In reply to Andy Neuman :

If you bring your Ute there will be two Utes there to play. The Saab is coming back, and it's pissed.

Make that three- and this time the Rampage will have had over a year of time running and being tuned instead of just a few days, should have real drag tires, and actually have the turbo providing boost for more than a fraction of the run down the strip...

So bring it, fake Utes! cheeky

Oh, this should be good. I know of 3 wagon builds so far; more utes than wagons? surprise

SLOPPY SECONDS!!

too funny

  • using someone else's racecar
  • sloppy handling during all timed events measured in seconds
  • fiero was supposed to be the new corvette till GM gave it all the 'not-good-enough-to-be-corvette' engineers and funding
  • going to be 2nd fastest 60degv6
  • Even better if all of the above is true and GTXVette is still enjoying it (which come on, it's the challenge, how can you not?)

it just goes on and on. Best burn of the thread so far. Well played.

Let me answer the answers.

A. Easy button to get there if the Other one isn't ready   B.Handling? did you see it?.C.  Sorry but Chevy said Get rid of it before it Outruns the Vette. D. Unless it's a 90 degree or a Northstar or, well I have lots of time to get it ready.  ( but want to do an Endurance event too).  E. Scoobie do was loads of Fun, I only wish it were Sooner.

You know, I'm pretty sure my LEAF would have beaten like 30% of the field last year.

 

Kind of depressing, isn't it?

If I ran a 9.999 in anything I’d say a 9 second car. Yes, I understand the gap. 

I just want a top 9 finish. I feel my Infiniti gives me a shot at finishing that high.

We threw out all of the cloth interior, and the joint that was in the center console....... Oh,  now I'm thinking I misunderstood the meaning of "challenge trash" talk.

I’d like to see documented receipts of fair market value... 

 

edit: I guess it would be legitimate to get a receipt from Colorado
