Alex I wish someone had videos of my non turbo nerd car (246 hp) blowing away various Cobra Jets. LOL

We have a lot of the "rice rocket" "turbo nerd" racers or whatever you want to call them down here in Florida. My take on the situation after watching many, many of them is that #1. They have no idea how to cut a light, nor do they understand why it's important. #2. They hit the rev limiter for a second or two before shifting rather than shifting at assigned RPM points. This video supports my assumptions and is very typical of the average driver. Did you see that Mustang driver mow the tree down! Jim

I saw that mustang owner deep stage before the other car was even staged. I would of just sat there until he backed up.

No excuse for the driving from the "nerd" car though.

hey Art last time I looked your car was A MERICAN, SO NOT A nerd car only imports are considered as nerd cars.
and when did you blow away a cobra anything? JET OR OTHERWISE HEADS UP?I love you and your stuff artie but come on your 13 second /occasional 12 second Neon can't beat a stock new Mustang GT heads up much less a stock eliminator cobra jet of any kind new or old

Just teasing you Alex But. I was refering to index to index with no breakout. Get there first and win. But I like the huge spot even in a breakout situation. They can not gauge my car. To much difference in mph, added to the fact that when I lift, my car does not settle one bit Other than sound you can't tell if I lift. And theres no way you'll hear my little car over a low 8 second CJ.

Alex, I respect your opinion on most "nerd" cars. I also respect you being "American" only. But lets face it, the ONLY difference between my "nerd" car an yours is the engine and body. EVERYTHING else is made in America.

Carey, I think everyone here has nothing but respect for you and your car. Just a little friendly "keyboard" smack being talked. I know I always make the trip to the bleachers to watch you run.

Was that race at US 41? I ask because of all the people standing on or next to the track....normally the case there

I like any car that's fast.

I just don't like the attitudes and ignorance of some owners. Wether it be foreign or domestic they all have "that guy".

A little friendly rivalry is perfectly fine among car guys with understood respect though.

Thanks man.

I don't know Alex, so it's hard to tell if its just friendly banter or not. No offense taken either way.
