My last points ill make if you don't get it oh well
1) don't make excuses if you lose. It makes you sound like a ricer and a cry baby. Speculation about why you lost and making unfounded allegations (like someone used nitrous) is equally just as demeaning to your argument. You sound like a joke and a moron. Lose with dignity, make adjustments, try again.
2) Hp doesn't mean shit (this goes to Greg). I told you that don't be surprised of you lost to a lesser Hp and liter car. You didn't listen to me. You're finding out gearing is just as important as Hp/liter. I warned you against talking all bad and cocky when you have ZERO racing experience. Your turbo d lasted less than three months and you hVe never had a fast NA car so you don't know what it's like. Which is why I told you over a year ago be careful what you say and how much you talk yourself up. You didn't listen and anyone who searches your screename will see the comments you made. I think your car makes awesome power, but You leave something to be desired. You lost, get over it, accept it, LEARN from it. Don't insinuate someone cheated or robbed you of a fair race.
3) my comment to the midnight auto guys is simple and I meant no disrespect. Your car looks fast , I'm sure it's very fast. But my point was good luck finding someone in Atlanta to run you for money full slicks vs full slicks on a street race. I've been here much longer than anyone in this thread besides black r. We were NA street racing 10 years ago. I can count on 1 hand how many times someone had slicks at a street race. You break shit and it's an instant $1000-1500 ticket so no one usually risks it. So knowing that I meant (and you seem smart enuugh you should agree) that a 11-12 second car on 24.5 in slicks, runs 13s on street tires. Or better yet change your 60 foot times to 2.2s and what happens to your ET.....
4)@Bobby I'm not the all motor king, I don't think I'm better than everyone else. I'm not a grease monkey either. However, I do know what I'm talking about, I do know a ton about engines, parts combos, what they make, etc. I had access to a dyno for 5 years and I've had the ability to test parts, setups, engine combos almost unlimited . That's the perks of running performance shops. I've also been contracted to test parts for various companies that I gave detailed and informed comparisons and write ups. I've taken classes to learn more about EFI and tuning, not because I want to be a tuner, but vbecause I wanted to LEARN more. I can NOT tune a car, but I can tell you how. I can NOT tune a car, but I can tell you where it should make peak tq, peak Hp, vtec crossover, bsfc, ve, etc.
Likewise I've built prob 10 engines in my life. 1 was mine , 9 were for other people. I'm not a great mechanic, but I can tell you how to build a motor. Imnot a great engine builder, but I can tell you what parts make what Hp usually within 1-5whp of a persons goal. Having said that, any motor I've "paid for" wasn't a blank check I wrote. I was always extremely involved in my parts selection, or it was all my ideas. I may have not ported my head, but I wanted a certain job done. I may have not assembled my 2.0l bottom end, but I selected all the parts that were used in it.
So this notion that I'm clueless and have no idea what I'm talking about is and has always been BULLSHIT. You ask me to prove something, I can. I don't hide behind a computer screen or use some Cop out like "I don't have to prove anything". Well if you don't want to prove anything don't make bullshit claims. Don't claim 224whp then say "I don't have to prove it". I my book that means you're LIEING and trying to act like you achieved something you know you can't.
There's one thing I've learned over the years, almost everyone lies, almost everyone deceives,almost everyone wants to fit in. It's easy to tell who actually knows what they are doing and understands all motor, and fanboys who try to fit in. Which one are you?
