idiots. I've owned an 11 second LS1 with half those mods, and stock, I ran a 13.1 @108. Their times are retardedly slow to the point of it being upsetting.
I watched an episode last week and a nice KB 03 Cobra showed up. I anxiously watch, personally predicting a mid 11...and watch as the guy mis-shifts his way to a 15.1

Well if he comes on here I hope he can take some good-natured teazing! I know if one of my buddies did that I'd be busting his ***** about it!

Really though, it is pretty cool he got to be on national TV! That's something I've never done

Yeah i'd say his nerves got him, i didn't see the pass.

but with a 2step and NLTS my car is pretty solid at being fast now. Much less unpredictable than before

I get there and they have printed off posts that i wrote about racing the car on this thread. Of course they didnt have a leg to stand on since they did everything and then came to this conclusion. So after some yelling and screaming i got my way and walked out with a new tranny under warranty. But i guess they got the last laugh when they told me not to come back since i have been flagged. Oh well after that i figured might as well go all out now and been having the most fun ever since!

Sorry for the offtopic!

I thought it was a joke..
Taking a huge step of consipracy theorizing ,and assuming your local dealer had nothing better to do than search out posts on the internet, unless your name is "Man Gook" how did they know it was your post(s)?
On top of that, dealers DO get paid for warranty work, and a lot of manufacturers grade the delears on how much warranty work they actually do. Manufacturers don't like it when dealers deny claims to get the customer to pay

Hey thats my buddy Todd AKA DesertEagle50. He redeemed himself last night with a 1.7 60ft and a 12.1@113mph which is a new personal best for him. Too bad he didn't run that time on the past time show. lol Oh well. Keep it up Todd!
