I see the party started with out me (Mark VIII Driver).
The info not being said here is how this race came to be... I heard this guy with a GTP was talking crap. (This was Wen night)
"It's never seen tail lights"
:th_scratchhead: So I said, "Well hell, I'll race him with the wifes car".
The reply I got was "Oh, the GTP is not stock. It has aftermarket everything".
Me-"and..."
the Reply-"Well he runs race gas, so he will only race for $100"
Me-"Well if he wants a money race, it's a $1000 and I bring my mustang. If he wants a free race, he can race the wifes car."
the Reply-"...... "
Me-"Ah F--k it. Lets go to the ATM"
the Reply- :th_nervous: "Uh, he can't do it tonight. We will have to wait till thurs or fri"
Me-"Well I have plans till midnight thurs and it's going to get cold, but whatever"
Then you see what became of thurs night.. :th_laugh-lol3:
You think tires won that. HA. I spun, shifted INTO 2nd at 3500rpm, spun through 2nd and PULLED away the whole time. POWER won that race- plain and simple.
The car weighs 3800lbs EMPTY, so with the two of us riding in it over 4000lbs
Moral of the story, don't act like your the fastest car around. There are plenty of faster ones. (including faster ones than mine)

Needless to say your boy here (GTPsleeper) talked **** to the wrong guy and got his ass beat by a car built for my wife, end of story. Probably shouldnt antagonize someone you know nothing about. :th_coocoo:
.....and Im a "nobody" aswell, I have friends faster than me. "There is always someone faster" Unless your Larry Larson- then you
ARE the top of the food chain. :th_winking:
Jared, for future reference. Don't come off "like a badass" and you'll be just fine. Your car is quick for what it is. :th_peaceout:
