No you didn't.....and your still a moron....Part 2...

Got some more outrageous boasts from angry idiots after the last post. I thought I'd share the more entertaining ones. # 1. This is my personal favorite. This clown, who has a 1986 SVO Mustang-which if you don't know has a Turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with 200 hp. When they were new-they ran 0-60 times in the 7 second range and the 1/4 in the high-15s. Not bad for the time-but the "5.0" V8 models were both quicker and several thousand dollars cheaper-which is why the SVO's didn't sell. Anyhow this idiot claims that he beat a 1998 WS6 Trans-Am-which had 320 hp stock and ran 5-second 0-60 times and high 13s in the 1/4. Technically he did, but he sounds like such an asshole justifying it. They didn't line up at a stoplight and go on green, and he left the other guy. No,-he races in a bracket racing class at his local strip. The way they do it is if a 15 second car is racing a 13 second car-the 15 second car gets a two second head start. I mean they literally let one car leave the line, while the other one sits there staring at a red light for two whole seconds, before he's allowed to launch. This system really favors the slower cars. Often the guy waiting for the delayed launch redlights and loses,or doesn't launch quick enough when he finally gets the green and loses. There's no way in hell this clowns '86 SVO Mustang could beat a '98 LS1 WS6 T/A in a regular drag race, or a "Stoplight Gran Prix". # 2. This one is hilarious too. This guy I sold cars with back in the '80's. He asked me if I remembered his 289 powered '67 Mustang beating a mutual friend's '69 SS396 El Camino from a light. I do-and I asked him if he remembered that the guy had blown the 396 up a couple months before, and had put a 307 with a 2bbl in the car so he could drive it while he was rebuilding the 396. So he beat an Elky with a junkyard 2bbl carbed 307, not a "real" SS396!!  # 3. Here's another "10 second" car that got smoked by a 14 second car. This guy had a shop next to mine for years. He had a '68 Nova that started out as a six-cylinder, 3-speed model. It had a one-legger monoleaf sprung 3.08:1 10 bolt rear. He put a 350 and a 4-speed in it. I don't know what cam he had in it-it idled rough enough to tell me it was "too big" for the car-and it had headers and a really loud exhaust and a Weiand Tunnel Ram with two 660 Holleys. He put traction bars on it to control wheelhop. He was always revving it up and smoking the tires. It spun the wheels and made a lot of noise-but I never thought it moved that fast. One day he challenged my buddys restored 440 powered 1972 Road Runner to a drag race. The Road Runner was restored to stock specs-except it had an Edelbrock carb on it instead of a Thermo-Quad. It was only a race for about 100 feet. As soon as the Road Runner stopped smoking it's tires he started pulling away. He won by about 5 or six car lengths. The Nova driver was aghast. How could this be? I told him-his car was built wrong-his tunnel-ram killed whatever low-end torque his engine did have-and the 3.08:1 gearing didn't help. He needed a single 4bbl induction system and some 3.73:1 or 4.11:1 gears, and m,aybe a smaller cam for it ro run the way it should. And even then it would have been maybe a 13 second car-not a ( GAG!!!! Damn the "F&F Movies!!! ) "10 second" car. Anyhow just had to vent those. Mastermind
