You guys only know what is posted on a forum, When you guys where dreaming away about driving I was out in a swapped EF street racing.. Now I'm older and well numbers don't mean shit unless you win..

I have no clue what it makes now.. It hasn't seen a dyno in forever, Again I explain and it's used as an excuse..

If I shake your hand after a race, that is my way of showing respect for the winner.. I guess you missed all that huh?
I get that people downplay cars to get their hustle on at the street races. However, for the past several months you've been going on and on about how you will drag Moseley's hatch up and down the street. Then you punked out in a classical fashion with "My wife won't let me street race." In short, you've hardly been downplaying your hatch lately.

You street race? Cool, I street race too. I've been out on the scene from NYC to Philly, to Baltimore/DC, Charlotte, ATL and everywhere in between. I've been around enough to know that a dyno tune is valuable and that the fastest cars have been dialed in with the dyno as an aid.

As for respect, I'm not saying you're being disrespectful. I don't get caught up in all that. I just think it is funny how your HP number keeps dropping and how you are trying to make it seem as though your car was at less than full strength to explain the loss. As I recall Luis had similar explanations after his loss, but at least a trunk full of tools and tachometer issues make for a more believable story than a leaky valve stem seal. Either way, fix the valve stem seals, put some tires on and try the same race. You still won't beat the RSX. Your only shot now is a dig race and you know it. I think you'll be surprised at what that RSX can do from a dig, so I'm eager to see the re-match.
