RiceBoy Math, ET, and window tink
I finally got around to getting real window tint done on my truck today... 65% on the doors and 85%on the rear glass. I must say it looks 100% better now.
Now under riceboy math, anything that looks 22.35% better (or more) has to run at least 0.20 seconds faster in the 1/4 mile, right? I was going to add a sticker too, that should help another 0.20 seconds or so shouldn't it?
Point of the story... I waxed a couple hondas today on the way back from the window tint place... I don't even consider it a kill... racing anything that sounds like a tornado in a tin can just ain't right.. but it had to be done anyway...
------------------
* 99.5 Black Lightning (The fastest color I don’t care what Christy Ann Thinks)
* Personal Best ¼ Mile 13.99 @ 97.75 Mph. (Bone stock)
* Ohio Plate SVT2GO
* Waiting on a chip and filter from Sal.. I wanna go faster!
* Factory CD Changer
* Class 3 Towing Hitch
* Factory Tonneau Cover
* 8" Bazooka Tubs
* Kenwood 80 watt *2 amp
* Viper 550 Alarm w/ remort start
* Often found in the bed: 98 Yamaha Banshee/Pro Design Cool head/ Toomey T-5 Chrome Racing Pipes/ Wiseco Power Pistons / Boyesen rad valves
Injection is nice, but I'd rather be blown. 99 Lightning, the best of both worlds!

Hahaha...funny story SVT2Go.
Unfortunately there are "ricers" in every brand make/model. Several years ago I was minding my own business and this younger guy (I'm not old, either) in his Mustang 5.0 wants to race me in my Cobra. He's bugging the crap out of me, so finally I punch it and C YA L8R. Rolled down the window afterwards and told him I should get a monster tach and some stickers like him so my car could go faster. Yes, he was a Ford owner and that was rude of me...but he deserved it.
"Don't pick on your own kind, especially when that old guy could be packing a 600+hp piece" :-)
