True, but the other party must be in the same league..

Jesus I just read all this. If this is going down close to me, lmk I'd vid.
Passing emissions isnt much of a requirement for a "street car". heck my 98 civic won't pass emissions.
We all have different interest, which make for some nice setup's, and lots of different cars, but not everyone will agree that each setup is truly a street car.. So we end-up with a bunch of hard-legs standing around doing dick before a race even happens... Never should anyone pick a race with a car "site un-seen", that's just asking to get your feelings hurt IMO.. Sometimes your ego will get you in trouble, and that can also cost you a good chunk of change...
ZoSick will learn... I'll be surprised if he shows up for drag race, but pretty sure he will cry until he gets the roll race he wants...LOL
Quick answers:
1) Yes, a street car should be able to be reasonably reliable to drive whenever you need it. Hell, I could take an Outlaw 10.5 car, and slap a better cooling system on it, and then drive it on the street - would that be a street car? Not in the real world to reasonable people, but it might be to you. I guess that since Bob at KMS (who is on here) could put a tag and insurance back on his race car (it used to be a street car), and happens to already run 7's on DR's, then that makes his a street car....
Bottom line, a street car should be able to be driven a decent distance and able to refuel at normal gas stations. If you a limit of less than 100 miles on a tank, or have to run home to pump fuel out of a barrel to be able to drive the car, it beats the spirit of being a street car.
2) You can't get VP100 at the pump but it is a certified street legal fuel. C16 and C23 are not legal on the street. There is a difference. Look at racing organizations - most street car classes restrict the types of fuel and tires. This is common. This shouldn't be an issue for your car though - a quick adjustment and you should still be able to pump out enough power.
3) Cage should use SFI-45 padding at least. Common sense is that you are taking a risk with a cage on the street, but there is no legal reason that it would make the car incapable of being a street car.
Today is race day... I hope there are no last minute excuses... we are ready and waiting
Sorry for the shitty layout of my last post. Not good at the quoting shit I guess.
If Bob can tag and insure that bad motherfucker and drive thirty minutes to an hour away and either kick some ass or just hang around and talk shit for a few hours, then drive it home. ITS A FUCKIN' STREET CAR! Only those who cant outrun him are gonna start crying about shit. Is Bobs car good transportation? FUCK NO! But we are not talking about road trips here are we? If we are then a Vette with some bolt ons and turbo or Nitrous is a much better car for that. And I'm sure Bob would admit that. But we are driving these cars across town. Not across the country. I have a truck, a jeep, and a Tahoe for shit like that and it is much better for traveling and road trips than Vette, Supra, Civic or Mustang any day. But I bet the Vette/Mustang owners will not admit that fact either. Their ego is much too big for that.
i agree with almost everything you have said in this thread minus the last sentence of ^ post. My mustang was makin 700hp and got over 20mpg and i drove it 7 days a week the entire time i owned it, i also have a jeep wrangler soft top, and a ford ranger. and i would rather road trip my mustang any day of the week. its just as reliable as either. got better gas milage.was a much smoother ride, and had a dvd player lol
I dont live in Columbus. But my car will run on pump gas. Of coarse with the tune on the car it is a grenade with the pin out at WOT. Three seconds and we're sweeping parts up outta the street. LOL I have driven the car from Dalton GA to Summit Racing in Mcdonough and back on pump gas with no issues. So the car will cruise no problem. It gets about 10-11 MPG the best I can figure. Obviously I could pulley down and re-tune the car for pump gas but since it is just a weekend cruiser and STREET/STRIP car I'd rather not lose 200 plus RWHP. If this disqualifies me as a street car then oh well. I will gladly admit your transportation is faster than my transportation. But when we are setting around in a parking lot shooting the shit, the car you drove up there will not outrun the car I drove up there.
ok guys last night on the dyno when pilling up on spry my pump failed and i didnt have the fuel pressure safty switch installed yet so it blew the intake, mass air meter, and intake manifold appart ....
we ordered another pump and intake, manifold and i called right jerry then and sent the pics and ask if we can make it next weekend when the impalas are racing to give me a chance to get parts in and he agreed .
so one more week girls continue the drama..
Z over and out
1st!
i would call this a no show... paypal to [email protected]
this is the importance of a lockin... smells fishy to me, blew up on the dyno hours before a race he didnt want to do??? give me a break...
You owe the man for a race.. *Hint* The main reason for a "lock-in" SMH!!
Did you miss the part where he said he called Jimmy and Jimmy said it was ok? I'm not here to take sides but...
Shut the fuck up. Unless you can prove he's lying and Jimmy really didn't agree, you might have a point.
You aren't the one racing, you are E-cock riding/cheer-leading some other guy with a fast car. Not sure what's worse here, the guy that didn't show or having to read your imbecilic posts.
I mean, I always knew your breath stank... Now I realize it's from biting Jimmy's jockstrap so much.
There will be a race next weekend!!! when dealing with alot of nitrous shit happens and i lost fuel pressure...:no:
Ill be getting a additinal pump and a non stock intake manifold etc etc so just means a few more days and little more power :goodjob:

Ive called or text and answered everytime he has called me !!!
draggbody yes ill give you the 4 cars bring it next weekend and shut your mouth !!
looks nasty, did you leak down the motor to check for damage??
The motor is fine just the the above parts got hurt and the hood got busted a little which just that half a sec is gonna cost a shit load
You need to get his phone number off of here...
This is Jerry NOT Jimmy...Since the truth needs to be told you and I are not racing next week the reason is because you backed ALL THE WAY OUT!!!! You said we were not racing instead you said you have set up a race with one of your buddies.. I had no idea you and me were still suppose to be racing until I read it on the forum...You have told so many fucking lies so let me tell the truth..the shit you rolling in can never touch me and you know it...STOP LYING and get my FUCKING NUMBER off this page NOW!!!!!!You Bowed out before your car blowed up I thought we were keeping this on the up and up What The Hell!!So if there is any racing going to be done again we will do this like men and not boys $2000 will be locked in this childs play going back and fourth in writing is not even my style but I tell you what is beating the fuck out of you!!!Let's roll and lock this money in no more fucking games lets roll!!!Again get my number off this fucking site!!!!
I am possibly just hoping for the best and being optimistic in vain, but the man did say in the text that he was probably going to have to race you next weekend due to him being unable to source an intake manifold. I can understand your being upset at him for being so negligent as to display your number on a public forum and I can understand that one back out often leads to the next. However being as confident as you are, that you're going to drag him down the street, why then, would you not being interested in waiting one more week to take his money, pride and to boost your ego and cred.
I am not picking side nor am I disagring that you have a right it being a bit upset by your number and frustrated that the race didn't go down yet after all this. I am just being selfish as I'd very much like to see this race go down.
Funny as fuck... take that 4 cars jimmy
im sorry didnt notice the number part ill take it down bro.. lies?? its all in text and voice recorded .. member our last one about your times????
I've never met Z0, nor do I care too. Much the same way I don't care to follow/read every post in this "Days of our Lives" thread you've managed stir up. Are you racing? No... In which case your mouth needs to be shut.

I thought Jerry had a 260z but screen name say 280z. I think this is a ghost profile made by draggbody trying to make zosick look bad. just my :2cents:
After looking again they do share an IP address.
I need zoslow's address so i can send him a bag of pampers. Anyone have it?
no need for me to relay anything now... zo knows its jerry, notice how his additude changed, check all of the ip's you want...
