EF Squad 2009 Mountain Run Discussion

...I love when you talk sweet to me with those sweet little fingers...I miss my paperboy....

Aye...buddy, I'd really love to, but I highly HIGHLY doubt I can in March. The soonest I'll be there is our next national holiday (can't even remember when it is...I think Easter) and/or like may or June. Besides, my car's out here on the west coast, now, so I'd be just a ride-along, anyways...unless I build something back home...

oh, aiight then. well, bhoov is selling a shell for uber cheap, and it's in great condition. im thinkin about snatching it up, but if i dont then you should jump on it

HEY HEY HEY!

alright, well i was always mid pack, and bryan would fly by me, so technically from what i've SEEN, he is the fastest drive up there. you were always way ahead of me from the start of every leg, so i can't comment on how fast you are since i didn't see it

See here's my problem... Well, the first. Where to build?

Build in Cali-Car is here, but I'd have to pay for storage and stuff, and I'd probably buy one from here which means I have to deal with Cali emissions and registration and such. Plus I still wouldn't have anything to drive when I got to Ga...
Build in Ga-Car is across the country and I don't trust other people on my car...especially one that will be used for enthusiastic driving. I don't intend to use my short periods of time at home in the garage. I wanna hang with people and crap.
Build an EF-I'd be putting my money into a car that's driven on rare occasion, and would prevent me from 1) building the mustang AND 2) prevent me from purchasing the kit car I wanna build (Factory Five Racing's AC Cobra replica) or building an old classic car.
Build the Mustang-Can't really afford to build the EF if I'm building the Mustang. The SC I plan to get a roush roots-style 5K kit...that's without a tune. I still need to get the suspension, rims, and tires, and I'll probably call it a day with the stang...but by the time that's all done, I'll be close to coming back to Ga, anyways.

Therein lies my problem...and why I haven't done anything, yet...

Bryan is INDEED an awesome driver, and we have yet to get a chance to compete head-2-head. With him and I doing such a competition, it would be unsafe to go at it in the mountains. We're both aggressive and both fast and both can drive well. Do I think I'm faster given the same car and same setup? No. But until him and I get a chance to prove what's up, neither of us can claim the title. If I can't claim it based on this fact, neither can he. However, I DO hope that him and I can go H2H someday when I return to Ga. I've got all respect and I've never said less about his driving. I think it will be fun when we finally get the day. But yes...he is indeed one of the top two in the mountains (that I've seen/know of...) Not to say no one has improved on their car/driving, but when I was leading the runs, Bryan and I would usually hop out and have a minute to talk before the rest of the crew came trailing in. He truly brought my best ability out in me...because if I didn't bring it out, he definitely would have had me. He kept me on the tire-walls.
