Your minimum would be 3,120 lbs at C/SA. Come on down. The water is fine.

Btw, tell Charley Bob I said to run that car out, I know it's got a 10.50 in it!

I'd say the horse died after the first 2 years of you beating it. I'm glad that you know more about the mustang than we do (must be all those engineering classes your taking). How long are you going to be butt hurt about them being in your class? They're working their way out of YOUR class and yet you still complain.

Also, take your 10.39 flat out @min weight like you set the record, throw some thin oil at it, ice her down good and run it at -1800 ft Gainesville air. You don't really expect me to believe that 10.39 is all the faster you'll run.

Really ! NHRA is not the only one who needs a clue. last time I figured out how much it cost ME to build OUR car it was half of what it cost for a newer bogus HP ride...

This all started when you called me out for b*tching when all I said was "Looks like an A or B car to me. 10.1x run flat out. At least 11 HPs coming on Monday."

Let's see, I said it looked like it should be in a higher class, how fast it was going based on the incrementals, and how much HP it will get. That doesn't really seem like bitching to me. I noted that it's working it's way out of my class, but it's unfortunate that some really fast cars didn't get the chance to win class, and their only hope was that the other guy screwed up.

Also, take your 10.39 flat out @min weight like you set the record, throw some thin oil at it, ice her down good and run it at -1800 ft Gainesville air. You don't really expect me to believe that 10.39 is all the faster you'll run.

So when I say Charley can run 10.50, you accuse me of knowing more about the mustang than you do, but then you tell me I can run 10.25? I could probably go faster than 10.39 in the negative altitude in Gainesville, yes, but not 10.25.

I'm sorry if you don't agree that a car running low 10.1s should be an A&B car.

Yes, I'm the ignorant one here. Must just have my head in the clouds. But I know how much it cost US to built OUR Bogus HP Cobra Jet, and I'll tell you what if you'd like to meet up sometime and compare bills and receipts I'm all for it. We even have a nice little folder with everything broke down by cost in it so it will be nice and simple for you to see how much you can actually build a new ride for if you do it right. I'm willing to bet YOUR car and OUR car probably cost about the same.

-In negative altitude

Yes, I am accusing you of knowing more about our car then we do, because I've heard you claim that the 281 CJ will go 10.50's for the last 3 years. Even after Brad Z ran it all out 20lbs heavy in the final round of the cic race last year at belle rose and it went 10.73 @124. And I'm just giving you the same thing back bud.

I'm sorry that I think that someone making the same statement over and over again about the new cars is complaining and you don't.I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. See you guys at indy

Patrick, look im not going to keep going round and round about this but look at the big picture here, how is it a game when the national record holder takes advantage of a great condition and runs Balls out to complete a goal that has been set and takes years of thrashing and testing to accomplish, When any Joe Shmo can slap down 100K and step down and take advantage of system that has been put into place by simple tactics of a major auto manufacture to dupe people. worst of all its a slap in the face to many accomplished racers and true car guy's that can make their S--T hall A-- . Its called being a smart racer !! my 2 cents

Jeff, 30 more and you'll be about right. Then you'll have to start thrashing like the rest of us.

I started the thread with a simple question/observation and it is now 3 pages of crap. I am new to stock/superstock and one thing I have learned Is there is alot of bogus engines,combos, parts being used everyday. That is Why I went to ss modified, It seems to piss me off less...lol

and i thought that with the DAMAGE ALREADY DONE the AMC'S would have taken over!!!!
