Just discovered he was running shorter tires and DRs. Some people are just full of it I guess.

I visit alot of different forums and there is a few I simply refuse to visit anymore due to the ratio of idiots to those with common sense. GTOforums & 350Z forum comes to mind. Might Have to ad the TBSS forum to that list. You should see the smackers over on the GTO forum. You'd think they drove italian exotics instead of a now defunct GM brand.

I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to mess around on that forum either. There are a handful of non idiots on there, but they are few and far between.

Stone, you need to get on there an conclude that thread. ie "You said high 12's with intake/tune when it really had intake/tune/shorter tires/DR's. Big difference and with that combo, 12's are believable."

K, I got back in there and stirred the pot a bit. I'm asking him to list anything else I missed (I listed everything I've been told he had done).

Just the interior weight reduction he did adds up to 200+ pounds. Depending on the wheels he used, he could've dropped another 25lbs PER WHEEL easily. I don't get the whole lying thing either. What's the point unless you're a thief trying to hustle someone?

Tires used were 17 inch MTs, lol. Curious what the responses will be.

well I was joking with people on another forum, that coyote 5.0 guys need to start calling their cars Tune only(making fun of cam only), running deep 11s.. apparently the TBSS guys saw that and took it to heart

I could probably find/link that post for you, was almost a year ago probably.

Jesus. I just read that entire thread. I'd bet a weeks pay your trying to convince two getto rats with a median age of 20 that they are not the fastest thing on the planet. I don't think they are going to get it no matter how much common sense you throw their way. Prince's car is power by unicorn farts and dreams to go along with his intake/tune only car!

I have honestly heard it all on that forum. They're not your typical Bolton or zeroing old, these guys truly believe their blazers are "it" for whatever reason. I do like the classifieds section and have gotten a couple good deals and had the pleasure of dealing with standup fellas. However, venturing over to the S/S section is a disaster waiting to happen. A guy called "night train" is the only one over there that gets it. I'm going to invite him over here, y'all would like him.
