suuuuuuuuuuuweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
10.8x at 138?? Holy cripes.. What would one assume if Evan would've gotten used to the car and launched with a 1.6 or 1.7 60ft and hit everything else perfect? Makes you wonder huh? Do I see a 10.5 at 140?
Dan, way to represent!!!!!

Relax 1bad, nobody's thrashing your messiah. Hell, if I were half the driver he is, I'd start marketing those Evan Fish.
Don't be a party pooper. Just keep proppin' him so we can continue to have some harmless fun.

Tony,
My math is right on (Math major).
I'm assuming he can cut .5 seconds on the 60' time. Since every .1 off 60' yields .15 off ET, 5x.15=.75 and 10.9-.75=10.15 ET. This is why I stated 10.1-10.2 ET. Sheesh! Some people!
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Sheeeesh!! Math Majors.....I don't care if you count the BALLS on ducks, you still have no reason to pull numbers out of your a$$. Here are the sixtys you had to work with: "Originally posted by 1bad gts: 2.02 I also saw a 1.8 (aborted run due to wheel hop.)" These are the numbers in your post and you said nothing about any other imaginary numbers. So I say again: 2.02 minus 1.8 = .22 .... 2.2 x .15 = .33 .... 10.9 minus .33 = 10.57 by your conversion which is reasonable. Lots of smiley faces here so don't get real bent out of shape.

Tony, I think the point he was making was that taking the stock pilots off the car and putting my ET streets on, would yield much better 60ft's. Much better then the 1.8's discussed earlier. The 60ft's could easily be 1.50's with a good driver. Now do you math. Let me know the ET you come up with. Take your 2.02 - 1.5 and make the calc.
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Easy Dan, I wasn't slamming your car, NICE and FAST it is..yes..very!!! If you go back and look at his post you can see where I got the 2.02 - 1.8.....Now I went back and looked myself and on this 20th time looking I got that where he said real tires he meant et street or the same type (hooking tires). The times I had looked at it before I saw real tires and automatically thought radials=real tires. The phrase real tires could go either way depending on the context. I do now see were Sheyster was assuming......well I will stop ther before you guys get madder at me
Sheyster....there you go...if you speak 4th grade math....then I can understand, I'm having to use family members fingers and toes to do all this figeeereen!!

So one key question (from a different thread) -- did Evan do smoky burnouts to heat up the stock radials before his runs, or just a brief dry hop to clean them off?

hahah, I can't stop looking at that 10.8x at 138. Too funny...
Great running car. Nice to have the power on tap all the time. Let us know if we can read about the test day. DLM builds a true street car that makes good power on or off the track. Dans car may note be a race car but it sure aint no slug! This is only the beginning of good things to come.

You are one to talk about people and their driving capabilities. With the knowledge and expertise you have about a viper you could not even fill a thimble. At least Tom has gone out, learned alot about the car and made changes to get the time where he wants it to be. Now you on the other hand sit back, talk all the smack about a viper and just make yourself look like a bigger *** . Keep up the good work.....
P.S. Tell the Nases and Welcome Back Kotter I said HI!!!!!!!!

Your right... I have not been around in a while. Every since I got out of the racing business (which means going as fast as you can in a 1/4 mile) I just sit back and laugh at all of these so called racers and so called tuners that think they know what it takes to run the time but for some reason or the other they always fall short. Dont bring up Mr. Evan now, I tried for several years to race your car motor on motor at several events but for some reason you never showed up. I hauled that ole Gen I RT/10 all over the United States looking for takers but they were all like you, either to busy or had some other excuse... For now, I leave the racing to you keyboard typers and will just read and enjoy...

Dan,
Nice runs..very powerful car. You should be proud.
Ole' 1Bad..I guess I can't help but like the guy..as he reminds me of a kid in one of my elemetary school classes. He thought he was batmans sidekick. He wore batman clothes as often as he could, had a batman lunchbox with little batman magnets that he would stick to the outside of it, and of course batman was the greatest of superheros in his book and nothing--I mean nothing could convince him otherwise.
I understand your situation, Joe. I wish sometimes that I had followers like yourself.
I would like to offer Dan the following..I'd like to make the same amount of passes in Dans car at Beech Bend as were made in it at the closed session one car magazine test track last week. If I can't beat a 10.85 I will post on this forum that Joe(1bad)is the undisputed drivers agent of the United States. What do you think of that idea?

Hello Dan,
Sorry I missed your IM, I was out. I definately do not want anything unfair. I will have a set of wheels with pilots on them. In reality though, I doubt that time will present itself for us to do this test. Once you are satisfied with your times on E.T.'s and if time permits, Id love to make a pass or two on stock tires, as I believe faster times are there for the taking.
See you there.

That "whistling" sound is probably more like a "hissing" sound from the 800 p*ssed off snakes under your hood.
