Here's a pic. of going to lunch one day and finding the good spot to park. The black truck came in after we were inside, and parked where you see it. I had to get pics.

Is that a ticket on your windshield?

Thanks FD!!

01Black-SVT&gt; Thanks!!

Zeus 2k1&gt; Nope. That is a "one trip permit" to get me home. I managed to drive 1140 miles without getting a ticket. In almost 2000 miles we only saw 2 Black 1st. Gens., and 1 Silver 2nd. Gen. L.

I had a blast and got to do some twisties with my car trailer also.

Hey FD,

I see you still can't stop writing about that 12's BS. Why don't you take a few seconds right now and edit out your G-TECH/Pro 1/4-mile ET from your profile and we will all forget that 12's stuff. The sooner you forget (that you'll ever be in the 12's) the better.

Can we please let the whole G Tech thing
die ? Please ?

A guy at work is quoting numbers that seem too low for his Corvette, and now he has challenged me to a race. Well if his C5 will really do a 12.8 1/4 then he will cross the line a couple feet in front of me. If he is quoting G tech times ( I know he has one ) then the track will tell. Cool part is he has boasted so much that an audience will be there to watch. Wont be as big an audience as FD has had but almost.... Win or lose my truck will make a good showing and I havent been boasting numbers that I havent run so I have nothing to be embarrassed about.

NEVER!!!!! Until you admit to all these are G-TECH/Pro times OR you provide some shred of evidence that you have produced these times at a sanctioned race track, I will NEVER stop pointing out that these are G-TECH/Pro times. You have left me no choice but to be persistent. Everyday I search on your screen name to see where you've posted, and I WILL continue to comment as I have here.

In addition, let me make this clear. If you do provide credible evidence that these 12.6's you say you are running are true, I will gladly proclaim to all that I was wrong and I should have never doubted you. It would only be fair. Until then, let’s ‘get it on’.

Thumbs down

Joe

Your point is made. We all know that the numbers are in question. However I wont let you
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">‘get it on’</font>
here, Take your issues with FD and his G tech offline.

FD - Why are you pushing this ? Everyone knows your ET is from a G Tech. The childish stirring of the pot that you seem to enjoy will not be allowed to continue.

Thread closed - Sorry Rick

If FD says his truck runs 12's so be it. I think it could, WHAT04 is so close with no traction and a XXXX/filter. 12 what though.
