700+whp SC? Holy crap!
Did he post those numbers in that thread? I must have missed that. I wonder what he has done.

well, its a long story, but the main cause of most all the problems have been the transmission. no one makes a really good tranny for it. i broke 3 diff PPG trannys. i have a dog box in it now that is holding for the current moment. there are only a handful of s2ks making the power i do. and only 2 that are faster, so it just kind of comes with thte territory. its gonna get the bugs worked out all the way here real soon

Alright, so maybe I jumped the gun on the ricer accusation. While what has happened during this conversation doesn't fall under the actual definition of being a ricer.....a person who will make ricey additions to their car will typically follow a certain type of mentality. So in this situation, the TYPE of retardation that is happening is what I file under the ricer mentality. My friends I hang out with, and I am not talking about the guys here on IA, feel the same way. We just always classify idiots that try to downplay their car and/or make it a big point to act like they've accomplished so much in modifying their car in a way that it's faster than a car with a bigger motor, regardless of the modifications done on both sides, as ricers. I mean, back when my car was stock and it was beating stock Vipers, I never acted like "AW HAIL!! Dodge needs a dayum V10, and my little 'ol motor with 2 less cylinders whoops it ass!!!"
I don't AGREE with Vteckidd's callout, but that's not actually what pissed me off. It was the multitude of posts where he was downplaying his car, and playing dumb like he didn't know the MASSIVE defecit he was asking for. If you know ANYTHING about racing, at all, then you know that traction is more important than horsepower. So with Vteckidd....one of two things is going on here. He's either purposely trying to play dumb in an attempt to get Smacked to come on shitty tires that won't hook so he can beat him, OR he's really just absolutely fucking retarded. Either of those scenarios would make me not like him.

Well, we agree more than we disagree. We have some difference of opinion on whether handicaps are really acceptable to request or not. I think there's no harm in asking for them, as long as it could still make for a fair race. Mike was probably being a little antagonistic in tone because he had already been called a ricer at that point. However, I don't think he was aware of how big a hit on performance running on street tires would be for smacked.
Mike figured his car ran at best 14s at commerce on drag radials, the SAME NIGHT that a new 100% stock mustang GT was running 14s on street tires. Since smacked has a good bit more HP than a stock mustang GT, you'd figure a good race with the advantage to Smacked. Certainly, smacked's car shouldn't be slower than a mustang GT on factory tires; it should be a good bit quicker. Correct me if I'm wrong on that. That's where I think Mike was coming from. I really don't think he considered it to be a massive deficit based on what he saw other v8 domestics running that night on street tires. I've known Mike for awhile now, and he's not the type to bait someone into a run that the person has no shot at winning. Mike honestly thought smacked still had a more than fair shot at winning even on street tires. If you guys really thought he was proposing an un-winnable race, there were probably better ways to communicate back and forth on the issue than what actually transpired; that goes for you guys AND Mike. However, it's in the past now; Aaron and Mike agreed to terms and they'll run sometime during the week.
I really hope there's no hard feelings on either side of the table here. Let them do the runs, see how things pan out, and put this one in the books, or youtube if they're both willing to be video taped.![]()
Hope you guys enjoyed this one!

probably cause smacked doesnt want you to have it....just sayin no offense
I have nothing to gain from not liking someone, so maybe he and I would get along in person. If nothing else, I could probably at least understand his "tone" a little better here, if I actually talked to the guy.
