Honestly, If someone handed you $10,000 to wager on a single 1/4 mile drag race between Jangy and I and you got to keep the money if you make the correct choice and that car wins where would you place your bet? Even without my NOS I would stomp him!

How is your gearing up top versus the M6 (slightly modded Im probably at 460rwhp)? I dont have as much DT loss as a slush box since Im really a manual.
And yes, the Jangy Jim love affair will not end but the reduction of peanut gallery shots will make it more tolerable.

With NOS, no question. Jim, what say we agree to disagree but keep the rage out?
Let me dispell a few myths that I may feed into just to get under your skin
I love the CLK BS (as I do all trick MBs). I only pick on yours to get at you. Truth is it is a freaking race car compared to mine.
Also, I am likely one of a few 55K fans that also like the 63s. Again, I love all trick MBs; ALL. If you take a step back you will see that I have interacted more with the 63s and their mods than any un-vested member. I do stereotype many of the 63 owners as BMW guys, and you fit (not a jab, but honesty).
Last yes I am harsh and looney and just an amateur enthusiast. I've done more damage wrenching a car than I have gains and everyone here knows it. I do try to help members and especially the ones that I feel aren't as able to themselves (because they are typically the OGs that I respect). Like it or not, I'm established here because of that. It also doesn't hurt that I have metup with and am friends with about 200 members here. You aren't a bad guy. You simply walked into a chaotic situation and just jumped in. Long run, and especially if you get the SL BS, I think you will mellow out and become a contributing member. You are likely right that we will never be friends.

Vic, about that Mexican Cantina you mentioned, here is a bit of advice, you don't want to let me drink any Tequila, I'll just leave it at that.

I will probably have both Black Series out there in January, I'm sure the 65 is going to be limited to 186mph. Jangy, we should rent out Willow for an afternoon, I'll strap a diaper on you, then strap you into the passenger seat and make you pay for all you past comments. maybe then you will realize that I am not a drag racer.

The big track? Holy cow, I am down and have another SL BS that may join. I'll ask, since I'm dying to drive it. I only get about 130 at Willows, though. Your car may get 150, I'd guess since you can pull farther, too (before braking). I know you aren't a dragster, but I'd still love a ride around Willows in your cars.

Ahmad, are there any road courses I can rent out on Friday afternoon in the DC/Maryland area? That would be loads of fun!

$5k for the day, includes track use all day, safety, lunch, drinks (no alcohol), snacks. You run the track yourself, so you must be sponsored by someone who has rented it before or pay extra to get Marshals to come to your first event. I have a sponsor. We usually do about 20 cars. Not everyone runs at the same time. About 5 - 10 cars on the track, max and it is lots of fun and speed. You also get to match up against sweet cars and watch some F1 cars. They have all types go and the AMGs fit right in. They also bring a few Lotus cars as toys for everyone to drive.

Trust me, you don't want a ride in my car on a race track, if you do you are a bigger man than me. I don't like riding b!tch in anyones car at speed on a track, scares me to death and I'm not affraid of anything. I would not ride b!tch if Micheal Schumacher himself was driving. The seat on the left is way out of my element.

BTW I believe the 65 BS has a speed limiter of 199mph.
