Nah I say Shane pulls a High 10, then decides - hmmm lets turn that boost up a tad more...............where did my piston go this time?!?!?!??!

well if you consider doing MID 14's fun then you have at it all day Alice....
So when you are doing your mid 14's do you like eat you chicken fingers while going down the track or what do you do with all your time? :lol: :lol: :lol:

So lets get back to the question that this post asked, Why Are Green Ghia's Slow?[/size][/font]

Why dont you tell us. I could ask you why green buses are slow.

Hoosier Daddy · « **Reply #34 on:** August 06, 2004, 08:16:36 AM »

I want to know how a 76 bus fits so far up James a$$

Chris · « **Reply #35 on:** August 06, 2004, 08:43:14 AM »

Unfortunately I cant answer any of those questions, thats why I keep asking them myself, maybe some keep help me build a fence to keep James away from my bus.

So lets get back to the question that this post asked, Why Are Green Ghia's Slow?

I don't understand??? is the paint heavier or something? or maybe less aerodynamic(orange peel)? too much bondo?

Or is it that all the exaust is coming from they're mouths not they're tail pipes!!!

So is this purely for braggs' or is there something more valuable up for grabs...
other than a bottle of liquor???

you see we really want to know why they are slower............

James Buchan · « **Reply #39 on:** August 06, 2004, 10:39:21 AM »

I'll fill you in Mike - Last year prior to the GCVW I started the smack talk with Brian and wasn't able to complete my car for the race - the bet was for a case of beer (he chose BUD, which is really a near-beer, not a real beer) as I didn't make the race.

Fast forward to this year and to date his best time is a 14.3 and mine is a 14.1, so theoretically I am faster on paper but we still need to go head to head for all the marbles to lay this all to rest and so I can get my case of beer back (Corona and don't forget the lime Brian) There was literally hundreds of posts about this match up last year, just getting it rekindled

So really this posts intention was to throw the gauntlet down, and get things started - Brian gets really nervous to the point of peeing himself when he see's my car so I wanted to savour that feeling at work while he reads this.

:lol:

HA! Peeing myself. Only because Im laughing so hard and I just cant controll myself(they say age has to do with it too). Anyways I have been working on this thing for weeks now. Our cars were pretty close and I know James has a new tranny. But I have found quite a bit more power out of the ghia. I know \"Mr. Super Shifter\" (aka=James) like to toot his horn any chance he gets. Youll be getting from me this year the same as you got last year. Later boys/girls&James.

unfortunatly I won't be able to see you two go at it friday, but I look foreward to ribbing the looser when all is said and done!

Hoosier Daddy · « **Reply #43 on:** August 06, 2004, 11:39:57 AM »

I'm surprised Mr Super Shifter is even going to grace us this his presence on Friday. I'm even more surprised that he is being let out for a night

red snapper · « **Reply #44 on:** August 06, 2004, 11:58:42 AM »

Ill have to see it to believe it!! :unsure: :unsure:

James Buchan · « **Reply #45 on:** August 06, 2004, 12:13:42 PM »

James Buchan · « **Reply #50 on:** August 06, 2004, 03:38:15 PM »

HEHEH this is getting good

So what are the side wagers on mine and Brian's race? Anyone want to up the ante?

Shane · « **Reply #51 on:** August 06, 2004, 03:42:12 PM »

You running slicks or Radials?

red snapper · « **Reply #52 on:** August 06, 2004, 03:43:04 PM »

3/4? I would have expected better from you. I dont like to toot my horn but Ive collected a lot of trophies this year too.

As far as the cavity searches go theres nothing wrong with a second opinion either. James, did you want to up the ante?

But did you win the Chubby chicken award??? NO[ I think not!!!!, have you won any performance awards??
DGLVK cleaning up !!!

red snapper · « **Reply #57 on:** August 06, 2004, 04:00:33 PM »

The \"chubby chicken\" award is something I havnt achieved yet. YET!. Last year the DVKK gave me an award at last years Strip show for nicest street car.

I wont be running slicks but I tell you when you take off a convertible top, you lose a great deal of weight! :ph34r:

James Buchan · « **Reply #58 on:** August 06, 2004, 04:05:09 PM »

I've never ran slicks so I guess we'll have to wait and see - you never answered about uping the ante sweet cheeks....

red snapper · « **Reply #59 on:** August 06, 2004, 04:07:03 PM »

HMMMMMMMM! Sure, I dont have anything in mind right now. I think about it and see if you have anything I need.
