He has like 100hp on him most likely, and is running 1.8 seconds faster... that is multiple bus lengths.

now can we get back to talking about the racing aspect and not his/hers opinions on wether this was wrong or not?

what are these v6's saposed to run in the quarter? i think i heard 13.7's before?
Oh I believe your right about the tech. I had a kid that goes to school with my daughter and also worked for my mechanic. He was telling my daughter how fast my car was. She was like my dad never lets anyone drive his car. He said we drove it when we were putting the new clutch in. I asked my mechanic and his lame excuse was well it's a performance clutch so you gotta test it under load. When I asked about the breakin period that is recomended for the new clutch he just shrugged his shoulders and said alright you got me.

i don't see how it's any different than someone test driving one tho. obviously when someone test drives a brand new mustang they get on it. and this one wasn't bought yet unlike the gt he wants to race in.

prep is not done until the car is sold.... so it was someone's car.

it is different, most dealers have a demo car that is used and then sold as such, the buyer is aware of the use of the car before he buys and gets a discounted price as such.

as to encouraging beating on new cars that are to be sold... well that's just plain azzhattery if true

Not surprised by that kill. The V6 is fast but not CI cam'd, Woody built, 347 fast. Also, your friend is a low life.

i'm not surprised i beat him at all, just kinda figured it'd be closer?

so was I right about the 13.7 for these things? I can't remember where i heard it but it sounds right.

also 83, my engine isn't woody built.

1. Why would you think that your car that runs 11.9's wouldnt blow a car that barely runs 13's out of the water?

2. Your buddy is a scumbag, in matter of fact neither of you seem to bright
