    You are really missing the point of my response.. but that's ok.

    My GTO's far from the fastest in the country. However, it is the fastest GTO when the only mods are intake / exhaust. There might be some joe smo out there that has done a faster time... but most of the guys serious about it do visit the internet and post up about it.

    I am not taking my street car daily driver to the track often. I went on ONE night to get a time for my car. I have a total of 5 passes in the GTO and I made my best pass on the second run of that night.

    My camaro is slow... and if I did drive it anywhere it wouldn't be on the trailer.

    I don't race to have the "fastest car around" I race to maximise the potential of the mods that I do. My camaro is still running the factory heads. I liked racing it to see how fast I could get it with minimal mods. It went 11.6 @ 117 @ 3550 raceweight with only 376 rwhp. Consequently that was the Georgia CAM ONLY record for ALL LS1 cars. That includes c5 vettes, Ls1 GTO's and LS1 Camaros / Trans Ams.

    Whatever man. Keep double talking. That crap may work on other people, but I have a keen sense of smell.

    So you're some kind of great "driver" on the street, yet the track suddenly zaps that great "skill" from you when you go there?????

    Like I said, you can try and double talk these young bucks here, but you aint fooling me. You can try, but it won't work. Come to the track and shut me up. Otherwise, I'll call it like I see it every time your bragging gets on my nerves.

    I just told you I've put down the fastest times for my cars for their mods.

    I've offered people on here to race me at the track... they declined.

    Theres an 11.6 @ 117 pass in my camaro.

    Me bragging gets on your nerves? What do you want me to come to the track and prove?

    If I do go to the track... all it will prove is that my GTO runs exceptionally well for the mods that is has... however its still in the 12's.
